As a baseball fan I actually like watching this UNC team so not really rooting against them at this point. Now in terms of winning it all yeah I am out on that. I don't think it is a worry either. UGA looks too good. I am expecting a finals of UGA and UNC.

I am not delusional and know UNC is an outstanding team this season. Your prediction of a UGA vs UNC final sounds about right. At same time, I pull for every team that UNC plays in every sport.
Big come back by Troy. Didn't think Ole Miss would be the first team eliminated

I don't understand the double steal by WVU there. Pitcher is struggling to throw strikes, and you just ran into an out at third base.

Exactly. Bad teams make unforced errors. It is what it is
Glauber probably comes in soon

Gave them the game.
Yeah, you don't always get the best teams in the cws. Plenty of bad/mediocre/ok teams make it. Murray state made it last year. Troy is there, too. West va was the 16 seed, so I guess they were "good" but by no means elite or stand a chance against UNC. This entire side of the bracket sucks.
Unc doesn't make mistakes, doesn't walk dudes, and has timely hitting. That's all you need in cbb

They walk a bunch of guys they just play very good defense behind it.
They also have a bit of a horseshoe up their butt in this postseason. They're set up well to make the final, but I don't think they have the firepower to beat Texas or UGA
Imo with that pitching staff they can beat anyone. Offense often vanishes in cws because of how big that park is and you gotta be able to string together hits. They can and its tough to do against them

Plugging my friend/coworker's podcast "Dugouts, Dumbbells, & Dingers" (aka 3D), part of the College Sports Now network. David Kahn is in Omaha breaking down every team's path and each day's results throughout the CWS.

I have somewhat of a soft spot for UNC baseball just because I have dealt with their coaching staff numerous times in the past and they were just a class act. Forbes is one of the nicest guys you will ever meet and I actually have a Mike Fox fungo bat that he gave me when he was still coaching.
Only team I see giving UNC real threat to winning CWS is Georgia.
Will pull for anyone against UNC, but they are very good and do not make many mistakes.

I have no problem with UNC winning it. Good for the ACC.
Probably be them and UGA.
New and different teams is a good thing for the sport.

Even though I enjoy watching them more than any other team in it and they are representing the ACC which needs to win the damn thing at some point I am still not there on pulling for them to win it.

Yeah, I'll never root for Carolina to win pretty much anything.

Carolina can lose every game they play in every sport for the rest of my life and that still won't be enough. ABC

If UNC were playing "insert evil organization here", I would root for said evil organization. Coaches and players may be the nicest folks in the world, but I'm not gonna pull for them. No good happens for us if they win.

They really don't seem to have much impact on us in any sport other than football.
