Dawgs In CWS Finals

The Diamond Dogs' bats came alive once again, storming in 10 runs against a solid Stanford team. Georgia got ahead early and never looked back, staving off a late Stanford rally to close the game 10-8. The Dawgs' second win over the Cardinal earned them a spot in the finals of the CWS, a best-of-three series which starts Monday. The opponent will be decided tonight at 7:00 ET on ESPN Classic when the Tar Heels of UNC take on the Bulldogs of Fresno State. Sort of an interesting move by ESPN, but I'm sure the overall delay of the weekend had something to do with the TV selection. How cool would a "Battle of the Bulldogs" series be between the 8th seeded Georgia and an unseeded Fresno State? I feel like ESPN would love to spin this as much as possible, favoring the Cinderella Fresno State over us in a heartbeat. That being said, I would rather play the Bulldogs, simply because I'm concerned about a balanced UNC team seeking their first National Title. But we'll see what happens tonight. Go Dogs?
