Texas A&M preview - Q&A with I Am The 12th Man
Weather permitting, it's once again do-or-die time for Cal baseball. Today's schedule in Omaha begins with the final three innings of Monday's suspended contest between Florida and Vanderbilt on the other side of the bracket. Unfortunately, there's a chance of rain all day, so be prepared for delays. We'll do our best to keep you informed as we get information.
Yesterday Coach Esquer announced that freshman lefty Kyle Porter will be starting against A&M ace Michael Wacha. Hopefully Porter can shut down his 2nd Big 12 team from Texas of the 2011 playoffs. No more previews or predictions from us - it's time to sit back and enjoy some baseball, hopefully not for the last time this year. Go Bears!

So, Florida is 2-0, right? Vanderbilt takes on North Carolina to see who gets the right to take on Florida again, potentially twice? Am I understanding this correctly?

You're too kind.
It’s just a goddamn shame that we got rematched in the second round. If you guys finish curbstomping Texas A&M, I will officially bitch out loud.
Weird stuff happens with Florida – in five games, we’ve had a Vandy blowout win, a Florida shutout win, a 12-inning game and two games stopped overnight for weather. We just can’t catch the breaks against those damn lizards…in any sport…

It's more than that
Don’t know if they still do it, but there used to be a designated walk-on who is the “12th man” who gets a roster spot and plays on the kickoff team. A tradition born out of some legendary story from long ago that I don’t feel like looking up right now.

At some football game back in the 1920s, Texas A&M ran out of extra players and called a guy out of the stands to suit up in case they needed him to go into the game. They didn’t need him. He never went in. He just stood there on the side lines doing nothing. That’s their big hallowed tradition.

they have so many stupid, useless traditions its hard to single the 12th Man out as the dumbest though. I think the freshman telling the dead dogs the score of the football games is the dumbest.

They have a live animal mascot Reveille (as I discussed this morning)> They bury all the Reveilles in one area and then during football games they have freshmen there in the area with the dead dog cemetary and they tell the dogs how things are goin.

so seriously, this is how i know i'm getting old...
i forgot that i went back and rewatched the called third strike to end the inning… so i was wondering how in the hell you knew that a good minute before they scored…
now what did i come in this room for?
From the chatter of the announcers, it sounds like the rain isn’t expected to last too long — although it looks really heavy right now.

Do we get money for being in the CWS?
This may have been mentioned before… but is the CWS like the NCAA hoops where all the participating schools get money over and above expenses depending on how far they advance?

It’s always been one of the things I’d tune into and watch if I was bored and happened upon it on TV, but I’d never make it a point to watch.
The #1 greatest threat to America: BEARS
if I saw I'd watch a few innings
but who cares about those other teams! And those terrible bats were irritating even on TV.

NACDA Director's Cup implications
Last year, Florida and ASU finished tied for 7th in the CWS (0-2) and got 73 points in the Director’s Cup. The 5th place finishers got 78 points.
Depending on how Florida and North Carolina do in the CWS, we might be looking at 3rd place in the NACDA Director’s Cup (we’re currently in fourth place behind ’Furd – 1526.75, Ohio State-1277.05 and Duke-1171.50).
We’re currently in fourth place at 1141.50, 30 points behind Duke.
I think this would be our best finish in the Director’s Cup since its inception.
Where we've finished in Director's Cup Last 8 years
2003 – 9th
2004 – 9th
2005 – 15th
2006 – 7th
2007 – 9th
2008 – 7th
2009 – 7th
2010 – 9th
Would be nice to break into the Top 5 for once. Way to go Sandy!
