Biggest upset in ND history. Period.
What a way to come back and lock Tenn's offense down.

Level 1
Not really an upset and expect the players would agree
This Irish team is pretty good and they played baseball. Tenn. is also very good....but it is baseball.-
Level 2
Exactly baseball is the sport that is most about executing and least about talent. That is why great
teams rarely win 100 games in a 162 game schedule. -
Level 2
Uhm, fans and players can say whatever they want. That was a huge upset. Unseeded vs No 1 overall

Level 3
Is that why the number 1 seed is having such an issue getting to the college world series lately?

I'll grant you that. It still doesn't mean it wasn't a huge upset, even for baseball.
I agree that baseball is one of the sports that don't follow form as much as others, but that is why it's played as a series and not a single game. The better team should win a series more often than not. This is college ball, played by kids just becoming young adults. Lower seeds win their share. This was the number one overall seed getting beat before making it to the WS. It has happened quite a bit lately, You can not deny, though, that it is still an upset when it happens.

Level 1
That pitcher for us at the end is the most baseball ready pitcher for a freshman I have seen. He had
the guile of Whitey Ford. His control was perfect and his ability to keep those big swingers off balance was truly impressive.-
Level 2
Any team would likely be content to have a dozen of his clones on the roster every year.
I have only seen him throw a couple of times. Very, very impressive. -
Level 2
Correct. When he found a batters weak spot, he kept working on it. It
was a masterpiece of pitching. Low and away, he owned them-
Level 3
Jack has to up the anty to keep Link in South Bend. You cannot cheap out and lose another coach.

Level 4
He better ante up that coach has that team playing so sharp and clean that a mental mistake is
a headline. There is absolutely nothing more beautiful in baseball to play within your capabilities and beat a team that is way physically better. That game reminded me of Villanova beating Georgetown in basketball when it seemed impossilbe.
