Fresno State

Hater Alert!!



Yes, it might be a great story, and yes it would be the biggest story in college baseball history, and yes I was happy to see them win their super regional, but guess what I am sick of hearing about Fresno State. I have a real problem with this whole story, starting to think it is a conspiracy. First, Fresno State players look reporters in the eyes and say yes we started out 8-12 this year because we were so focused on getting to Omaha. What? Yeah we at Georgia State started out bad because we made this highly achievable goal about making it to Omaha and winning the College World Series, yeah so it has affected how we have played the first 20 games. Ok, it is ok to have dreams, but this is a little drastic to have blinders on to the world when you make these goals. Fresno hadn't won a regional in forever, yes a regional, which after that you have to win a super regional, and I am pretty sure they have never won a super regional. So how are you as a FSU Bulldog going to think and say that you are going to be the one of the 8 best teams in the country and go to Omaha prior to the season starting when you have no right to say such things. What gave you the idea that all the sudden your team was going to get 110% better and win a regional and super and then go to Omaha. It is like Western Carolina saying yeah you know what, even though we didn't win a regional last year, I think we are going to make it to the college world series this year, with basically the same team. Yes people make goals, and yes they shoot for them, but there is no way in a sane Fresno player's mind that they really thought they were going to make it to Omaha. If they say they did, than they are lying. Second, their stardom is getting to their heads, if I see the shortstop look into the camera one more time in the dugout I am going to rip his face off. If I hear that Fresno's 3B walks around naked one more time I am going to shoot him in the face, and if I hear about how much they have overcome injuries and patched together a pitching staff with only 24 players I am going to throw up. Guess what, you are only allowed 25 on a traveling roster, stop acting like you are the victim. Coach take your hand away from your mouth, I am beginning to think that you are hiding something, like the fact that you might not have any teeth. Just admit that you are as shocked as we are, and everything will be fine. Finally, I guarantee you that a position player will be pitching by the end of today's game.

I pretty much agree with you but a lot of my disgust is still with the announcers - liked the article Joe but next time tell me what you really think! Also was I ahead of the game with my complaints about Escobar - now everyone is jumping on my bandwagon!!!

WOW!!! Your pissed mane. You must have money on the game, or just a huge UGA fan, bc you sound bias. What would you do in their situation? Enjoy the ride? They are used to being hated upon, it is the fuel that drives them. I would like to see a brawl between the two teams, that would be sweet. I am giving Fresno State mad props on this one. Enjoy the moment, because these, don't happen too often. You have to tip your hat to them. Screw a story, this is baseball at its finest... I would run around naked, and if they win, I would pull some sort of Pappelbon and dance the jig in my sliding shorts...enjoying every second with my teammates... We will see!

I didnt make it to a college world series, or even a college conference championship for that matter. Love the ride, not the reward...

I will rally some "Bubbas" up one day and spend a week in Omaha, we will play golf in the morning, go to the games in the afternoon and evenings, and hit the hot spots late night. They have casinos in Omaha!!! HAHA Where my bubba's at that are down for a vacation (a fiscal event)... Just saying

Big B---love to drop'em like spades

You've got to give Fresno every bit of the credit they deserve. Aside from the collapse in game 1, they outplayed UGA in nearly all phases. Clutch hitting, gutsy pitching. I predicted a two game sweep. I was just off.
