Will admit that I'm rooting for MSU to win it...it's not Vandy's fault that the NCAA gave them an extra day off, but the Commodores have had things stacked in their favor. Plus, MSU hasn't won one yet...and the damned whistler sucks even more than cowbells, so go Bulldogs.
No it's not their fault and I see the dilemma but it's gonna leave a bad taste in everyone's mouth if they win this thing again with a question or*always behind it. Always would they have won yesterday's game?
They barely survived Stanford by pure luck and a breakdown. They really should've been out of it that night.
What happened to North Carolina state was messed up, wrong and completely the wrong decision.
But I'm pulling for Mississippi State more too because they haven't won yet and the damn Whistler just as you have stated.
But make no mistake this decision made the other night is a real black mark on the NCAA and this tournament. The fans deserve better and absolutely the players deserved better. All of them. It's just sheer luck that the other teams were affected like this.
I will say though down the line it would not shock me to find out that somebody was trying to push it so that Vanderbilt could be in the final game especially with the two pitchers they're always touting. But we may never know and that is just of one many possibilities.
