TCU and defending national champion Vanderbilt will face off today with the winning team advancing to the CWS semi-finals. The other will be cast into the loser's bracket, where few have gone and lived to tell the tale.....
Editor's note: Tonight's starters have been announced as TCU's Alex Young vs. Vandy's Phillip Pfeifer
Oh how close we came to an all-SEC elimination game in TCU's side of the CWS bracket. Cal State Fullerton is a great team, but I think we all would have preferred to face the Titans over the defending CWS champion; not to mention the fun we would have had watching ESPN panic as they tried to explain the SEC's failure to dominate every sporting event in every conceivable way.
