Hello, Omaha

The Dawgs stomped the Wolfpack for the second time this weekend with a 17-8 stomping in Game 3 to steal the envelope for an invite to Omaha, Nebraska for the College World Series. Gordon Beckham hit two homers today to tie the Georgia baseball record of 51 career homers, held by former Bulldog great Josh Morris. Congrats, Gordo, and thankfully you have the chance to crack the record for your own.

There is nothing like being in Omaha on a warm summer day to watch some great college baseball. It's been years since I've been up there to see the facilities, but I never caught a game. I know a few are working on plans to get up there, and I will be as well. This team has a legit shot as they are hitting on all cylinders, almost everyone is healthy, and the bats are smoking. This should be quite the ride.

The AJC has a few victory photos here.
Georgia Sports Blog has some Omaha 2008 merch for sale here, as well as a sharp new header.
ESPN has a pretty good blog rolling that is covering all the action nationwide here.

Go Dawgs!
