Notre Dame’s upset over the Tennessee Volunteers sent shockwaves across the college baseball world. The Irish found themselves in a strange world where fans of different schools all over the country were cheering them on to do what was thought impossible. Generally, college fans love to hate Notre Dame based solely on the status of the football program, and don’t mind carrying it over to other sports.
Except... something is different. A lot of fans and media members truly believe the Irish got robbed out of hosting a regional, and were given a double kick to the nuts by having to play the Super Regional in Knoxville.
