    When you get 8 good teams together in baseball, tournaments like this are a crap shoot.
    Whatever happens, making it back made this a good year. Get there enough times and the breaks will fall our way again and we will win another one. Be it this year, or 5 trips from now. Just keep putting yourselves in a good position and basic statistics will eventually take over.

    There’s a few FSU fans trying to wrap their heads around this one.

    It's hard to see the disappointment on the faces of the youngsters whenever a team falls short of the ultimate goal. This group has given us some great memories this season. I'm most hopeful for kids like BT, whose last game in Omaha will be his last game of baseball.

    I think this could have applied to FSU’s pre-LONR trips (6 times). Once the Human Rain Delay started taking them he took his narrow-mindedness and cost them dearly.

    @gatorranger7 — How very true your message is. I have to quote my Dad on this one more time—“Can’t nobody steal your memories”……JK Horne, Jr.

    I can attest to this—lose someone close to you and have a good grip on your memories and you will survive.

    Why in the world is the word “if” even used in this narrative.

    Stole my thoughts. I'm not opposed to some emotion and celebrating, but something like that is specifically directed at your opponent and not toward celebrating. Total bush league

    In college football it’s an automatic penalty - should be no different in any college sport.

    I need less NCAA, not more. Especially when it comes to selective punishments of celebrations/taunts. Make this kid have to do a stupid commercial that gets aired at the regionals next year, but don't keep him from playing any baseball.

    Go GATORS!

    I think that guy is a comedian in looking at his other tweets.

    What can I say? I'm at that stage of life - where my obituary starts to become more important than my resume - where what's truly important starts to become much more apparent.

    Friday night forecast for Omaha is 30 to 40% chance of thunderstorms.

    Did we take our weather with us?

    The Midwest is always very unpredictable weather-wise this time of year.

    This is way worse than what Neely did even if directed at his own dugout. Let kids show emotion but put some limits on it. Do we want players mooning out there? To me a throat slash is just a bit over the line. Why not a Tiger Woods style fist pump?

    That being said I don't want him suspended but maybe told that if he does that again he will be.

    Of course I think that the Neely suspension was ridiculous.

    This joke never gets old:

    FSU won it all in 2008.

    I love Halter's experience and leadership, but this would be a huge pick up. My dream scenario would be to grab an impact 3B, SS, OF, starting P and reliever (UCLA guy) from the portal.
