re: What a great game and a great showcase for the SEC...

Bump for a late night congratulations to the Florida Gators. LSU simply played-and perhaps managed-too poorly to overcome their mistakes against a team as good as Florida. An extra walk on a longer-than-needed hook. Two galling errors at first base there. Repeated poor baserunning. It was all just too much.

Walker's forearm had this team's engine smoking in the Winner's Bracket. But we put the hammer down and roared out of there in amazing, compelling fashion to best FSU and then-improbably-Oregon State.

But UF simply had better pitching and-if I'm being honest-more poise on this stage than did our Tigers.

Congrats to my Tigers on a run for the ages and congrats to the Gators. You deserve it. You were the better team.
