UF knocked out TCU, and LSU knocked out #1 seed Oregon state to get there.

LSU already has 6 national titles.

Cool. College baseball season goes on so long. I lost track when UCF got ousted in Tallahassee. Good to see a Florida team continue on. Hope they win!

FSU was in the final 8 as well, but got knocked out by LSU.

LSU had to beat OSU 2x to advance, and OSU was ranked #1 in the country, with only 7 losses all season.

But UF won 2/3 against LSU during the season, so it should make for a couple good games.

I was very impressed with the gators pitching, minus that 8-2 whooping. Their hitting has not been great but still pretty good. I see LSU, once again, besting everyone.

Damn .... this is a lose / lose match up for me!!

Don't want to see LSU win another and don't want to see UF win one ever.

Monday's Game 1 recap
That'll do it for Monday's coverage of Game 1 from Omaha. Florida is one game away from its elusive first national title, following a narrow 4-3 victory over LSU. Brady Singer was the story of the game with 12 strikeouts, a new CWS finals record.

in your ear ..... Bob.

They showed Warren Morris sitting in the stands last night ..... he is on my list (along with Doug Flutie) of people I hope to live long enough to pee in their ear, while they lay in their caskets.

I see LSU rebounding big time tonite. Gators take it in game three. Now if you're a gambler, it's time to bet against me as I have a gift for predicting the exact opposite.

Very exciting game. So much action. Gator second baseman's throw home on a single to throw out the third base runner was awesome. Gators then blew it open.

Yep, long but exciting. Incredible pitching staffs. I thought UF would get burned by those 7 runs LOB in the first 3 innings, but LSU was their own worst enemy. That's 4/5 UF took from LSU this year, so no question about supremacy.

And I think UF's team is much younger, which bodes well for their future.

Jonnyboy, I appreciate your reminding us you typically predict the opposite of what will actually happen. I will keep that in mind and consult you before I make bets in the future!

FWIW, UCF finished the regular season ranked #24 in NCAA-D1 baseball. FSU a little higher. (22 trips for them to Omaha under Martin, and still no title. )

I have a gift. Its a sincere belief in a plausible outcome that has almost never come to fruition.

I think the whole thing started to unravel for LSU in the first inning when their first baseman bobbled an easy toss and allowed the runner to steal second. It set a shaky tone that felt like they were backpeddling the whole game. Having a tying run called back for a pointless interference was par for the course. It sounded like the whole Tiger nation was in Omaha. I felt like a couple of more bad calls in UF's favor might actually cause a rush on to the field. I do not often think of baseball as exciting, but that game was very exciting and I really thought LSU was going to rally and get it back, but, as you said, they were their own worst enemies.
