Haha... I just looked at the DIII championship page and flipped out cause Marietta College's uni's and symbol look waaaaay too much like the Yankees and their team was posted under a championship banner.

On the plus side, at least they're currently sucking even more than my team so far this year.  8)

Predictions for Big Poppa:
Game 1: UW-Stevens Point (Jordan Zimmerman is too much for Emory)

Game 2: Carthage (19 wins in a row for the Redmen... plus I find it hard to bet against my boys. Gilblair vs. Husing is a great pitching matchup in Round 1)

Game 3: Chapman (Devin Drag is tough to beat this year at 15-0)

Game 4: Cortland State (The Dragons are too much for Kean in their first appearance)

Is this the most loaded World Series in years? I feel that any of the teams could win any of the games.

I would love to be there. I will be in the area... Minnesota for the weekend. Living in Cali makes Minnesota the area I guess.

Carthage or any CCIW fans that will be up in Appleton for game 1 are welcome to come tailgate with us.... Me and a couple of buddies have gone to the CCIW championship, and the Regionals, and we would love to invite any Carthage fans or CCIW fans to meet us up there.. We will have "refreshments", and maybe some food.... We are College students and if you would like to bring whatever, that would be great.. Low bank Accounts are not Nice but this is the College WORLD SERIES!!. Let me know and we will get things done.... Friday is a big day for the CCIW and big time for Carthage fans......  As of right now we will meet in the parking lot 2 hours before the game. I would like to meet the Carthage faithful and the CCIW faithful... This will be a big weekend for the Carthage and the CCIW.. Let's bring it home!! Very fired up for this weekend!!!!

haha, great comment! 
When Coach Schaly designed the unifoms back in the early 70's that 's what he had in mind.  He always said that "the pinstripes win ballgames and give you that mental edge.  If the Yankees can do it, Marietta can do it."   His goal was to mold a baseball tradition much like the Yankees; built on discipline, respect (the program is more important than any one player), and most of all Winning.  He accomplished his goal and 2 years ago was buried in his pinstripes.
I'm not a Yankee fan by any means, but while I wore the pinstripes it sure felt good!!

Good luck to Carthage in the series...here's hoping they win their first two and can face Marietta in the winner's bracket final on Monday night.

Redman1, do you guys play on sticking around in Appleton the entire world series through Tuesday?

[BigPoppa]

If anyone needs advice on where to eat/imbibe , let me know. I can get you an insider's view of the local scene.

There are some great local pubs to hang out at after the games (I have been thrown out of one or more of them at one time or another).

[RedMan1]

REDMENFAN- We will be there all the way till the end.. Hopefully till Tuesday

[REDMENFAN]

Redman1- We got a regional game Friday afternoon, then I'm heading down Friday night to catch Saturday's game. You guys staying in a hotel the entire time or at someone's place?

[irish21]

RM1...I'll have two guys with me that played in the 2002 World Series - Pat Brown and Dan Lorum. What do you need for yourtailgate?

[RedMan1]

REDMENFAN- We are staying with someone... but you will find us no matter what at the team's hotel after the games. The parents and the students love to go bowling. That is all we did down at Wesleyan and we plan on bowling alot more this weekend and all the way to Tuesday

[RedMan1]

Irish21- Bring whatever you would like to bring..... I'll have a grill, and a couple of coolers
