Message: [QUOTE="Stainmaster, post: 2734864, member: 5260"] As some of you may recall, I made a very long-winded post this past winter extolling this year's UConn baseball team. Well, after a year of great success in the face of some horrible luck as it pertained to injuries, the Diamond Dogs were awarded an at-large berth as a #2 seed in the Conway, SC Regional (alongside host Coastal Carolina, Washington, and LIU-Brooklyn). Multiple columnists who cover Division I baseball have remarked that our Huskies were indeed robbed as a potential Regional host, further emphasizing the respect our banged-up Huskies have earned within the context of the national collegiate baseball scene. UConn is one of the strongest 2 seeds in the country, and faces one of the tourney's weakest 1 seeds (CCU) in their Regional. On the other side of the bracket, the Stanford Regional (the winner of whom will face the winner of the Conway Regional) is regarded as one of the most "up-for-grabs" Regionals in the entire tournament. What this means for us is...if things break right, there's a chance that the UConn Huskies could be on their way to Omaha for the first time in 39 years. I encourage all of you to follow the discourse and game-by-game commentary that will occur in the UConn Baseball and Olympic Sports forum over the next weekend or so. Diehard UConn baseball fans like [USER=2504]@dbmill[/USER], [USER=549]@huskymedic[/USER], [USER=412]@uconnbaseball[/USER], [USER=1235]@ATLDYKA[/USER], [USER=8179]@Guapo[/USER], and others bring to the table both a passion for UConn baseball and an impressive knowledge of the collegiate game, creating an environment that is welcoming of even the most casual (;)) fans. Specifically, the "Huskies' Road to Omaha 2018" thread ([URL="https://the-boneyard.com/threads/huskies%E2%80%99-road-to-omaha-2018.129475/"]Huskies’ Road to Omaha 2018[/URL]) offers a consolidated location for we Husky faithful to discuss the team's performance as we battle the Inferior Huskies and any other foes we may meet along the way. It's been a tough year for those of us who primarily follow basketball and/or football. Here's hoping a gritty, blue-collar UConn team with the talent to make a deep NCAA tourney run can bring the Husky faithful some much-needed joy. [/QUOTE]
