Sorry if Germans, but I ran across this link on the spirit board. It was put together by some students but very well done. There are interviews with Button, Matt Smith, Basham, and McKean. Kinda puts everything into perspective. Those of you who have played at a high level and pressure situations can relate. I think everyone could take something from it.

That was painful to watch... I was in RF during that game and can remember the countdown. There were a few guys next to me who even yelled "FOUR!" as the ball was bouncing toward Button.

A buddy of mine got an entire cooler dumped over his head when Smith hit the walk off in game 1. He got a DUI later that night.

He'd still look like an idiot in the process.

Damn, that was painful reliving that shite. If Bittle wouldn't have gotten hurt, I believe the Rebels could have won the whole thing if they could have gotten there. Bittle was just nasty.

Eh. We would have gotten out there but LSU and Texas were both far and away the best two teams in college baseball that year.

That was really well done (for students of course)... It does suck for Button... He had a sister that played softball for the Rebels too so their family did a lot for OM athletics.

I would maybe feel bad for him if he didn't have the biggest douchebag haircut I've ever seen.

I can't believe he still carries that much anger around.. You can see his demeanor change and he talks about punching people in the face and shite.


frick it... Just embrace it... Laugh and say " Yeah, that's me.. Go frick yourself buddy" .. But baseball players just aren't wired that way I don't guess.

He's from Missouri... All you need to know.

That has WAOM written all over it. . I honestly think ULL will beat State and then beat y'all game 1, but the Rebels come back to win 2 straight and make it to Omaha.
