That would be the ncaa weather guy.

So is your belief that he's a Texas fan? Because this delay is not what the NCAA or ESPN wanted.
You're right The NCAA has never done anything that favored t.u.


When did I say that?

This. We've seen other pitchers do just fine in the rain this postseason.

Fair enough, but it was pretty obvious that the rain was causing control issues at the beginning of the inning.


100% agree. Bad break for MSU. Hard to pitch in the rain. But they weren't stopping it until there was lightning within 8 miles.


Lemonis seemed like he was stalling a bit. He should have just kept having scrubs come out to warm up until the game was delayed. Maybe somebody should have faked an injury or a seizure or something

I heard the guys name was Charles Alan Wright jr. It kind of sounds familiar to me but unsure

I don't think they care. I do know ESPN didn't want a rain delay. Destroys ratings.

Or he can't get a grip on the ball because of the rain.


It's a farce. Always one way with these things. See if the NCAA takes notice.

This game is a shining example of why I hate everything about texas. They get every bounce, every break, the right guy at the plate, gets the walk, gets the bunt down, blah blah blah blah ****ing blah.

Ok. Well I guess there's no need to watch the game tomorrow night then since the fix is in.

So NC State's covid issue wasn't part of the NCAA plan then? Because that sure helped Vandy.

Absolute bull****


I hate Texas as much as anyone. But I seriously doubt area lightning strikes are in the tank for Texas.


I guess there wasn't any lightning prior. The graph they showed earlier was covered in strikes


That was Ty Madden's punch out chart, or possibly Texas' whiffs in the first game.

No, it pushes three ratings boosters.

1) team with [manufactured] hardship overcomes impossible odds.
2) Delay t.u. game to get hit by the weather.
3) set up a final so t.u. plays the SECe

So the NCAA decimation of NC State due to COVID was actually part of the plan to hurt the SEC and Vandy and not the Wolfpack at all. It was all to set up the story line of an underdog win tomorrow? At least you have your bases covered. If Vandy and Miss St are in the championship fine, and if not then the NCAA conspired to make it not happen.

tarp off the field and watching it get rolled is infinitely more interesting than anti-SEC conspiracy theories,
Faustus
12:43a, 6/26/21
Wouldn't it have been easier to just let NC State play at full strength if the aim was to get rid of Vandy? Maybe the NCAA is too crafty for me here, and possibly for itself too should Vandy win again.

No. They want the weaker SEC division in the final to get beaten. (or the hamstrung underdog beats them early).

A no-SEC final is a ratings pit, too.
Faustus
12:54a, 6/26/21
So this conspiracy also involves SEC divisions, where the NCAA wants the weaker Eastern team in Vandy there (assuming Vandy can overcome the NCAA's favoritism of the Wolfpack) over the more powerful SEC West team.

My country for a weaker baseball team with a 1,2 punch of Rocker -- and his 7-0 postseason record -- and Leiter.

Really should just re-start this inning to give everyone a fair chance. Whaddiya say NCAA?
