Palmetto Proving Grounds

All the pressure was on us last night and it looked like we felt it. We should be able to play loose again

I agree with the OP -- seems like we just weren't having as much fun last night. The commentators mentioned that an ump had said something to Ray about our dugout antics -- maybe that's why the guys didn't seem as into the game.

Screw the umps. What has made this team so fun to watch the past few years is how much joy they seemed to get just from playing baseball. It was infectious. Bring back the dances and the bazifle and have some fun out there.

heavy becomes the crown of streaks & sudden additional expectations from the masses. let us now dispatch the cinderella.

if the ncaa really thinks it needed to tone down our dugout antics....couldnt they just do the same by telling espn not to show it?

our bad, adding any hint of humanity to sport, forgive us. we should be all like florida, deep tans & dopey morose looking coaches & players

dont let them take out spirit, eat the fish...become the fish..

The only complaints I have were terrible one-pitch at-bats and walking the leadoff man repeatedly. Beyond that we played pretty well, just couldn't string hits together.
