Quest For Bru-103: World Series (v Arizona) Open Thread

Everyone here should know by now. The 10 time NCAA champion and the 11 time national champions UCLA Bruins will be making their 23rd appearance in the college world series tonight.

The number 2 ranked Bruins (50-7) are taking on number 7 ranked two time defending champion Arizona Wildcats. The first pitch is scheduled for 6 pm PST.

Needless to say the passion bucket is going to be flowing all over Bruin Nation:

CRN, CBH, RW, LMR and all of us are going to be rooting for some great athletes gunning for Bru-103.

The game is going to be broadcast live on ESPN. You can also follow the action online here. And oh the Lakers are also going to be on tonight at the same time looking to knock off the defending champions in their sport.

So it's a big night. Let's get it started.

Fire away.

GO BRUINS.

The UCLA game is going to start very late

I just tuned in … It’s about 5:30 PT, and the previous game is only in the third inning. I see no way the UCLA game starts before 7, and it might be later than that.

Ouch

May be I will stop watching the Lakers. I think I am bringing them bad luck. What an ugly 1st quarter.

ASU trails Bama, 1-0

Bottom 6. Barring a Sun Devil’s comeback in the top of the 7th, our game is in sight.

Oh, and thanks N for reminding me to check on the Lakers. Granted, I am a Warriors’ fan, but that was something I really did not need to see. :(

Jordan providing a spark

off the bench. But the Lakers are still down big (26-40) in 2nd Q.

ASU ties it up

It’s 1-1 in the 7th. UCLA game starts even later obviously if this game goes into extras.

by gilbert on May 29, 2008 7:09 PM PDT up reply actions  

3-1 ASU now

Hopefully they hang on in the bottom of the inning and end this thing.

Oh, Lakers making a run, now down 37-46

cool picture

i remember last year, Lorenzo Mata-Real, LRMAM, and Josh Shipp threw out the ceremonial first pitch at Easton Stadium for one of the last home games of the season. always cool to see athletes supporting other athletes on campus.

Arizona St. took 2 of 3 from us in the regular season

Jelly gave up 3 runs in 7 innings in the 1st game, a 3-0 Devils win. Jelly had a complete game, 5 hit shutout in the 2nd game, a 5-0 Bruin win. In the third game, Jelly didn’t start, but came in to throw 3.1 innings and didn’t give up a run in a 5-2 ASU win.
