So happy. I've been hoping we'd get to Omaha for more than 20 years. Still doesn't feel real.
Omaha ain't seen nothing like the Big Blue Mist that is going to take over the city
We swept UGA in the regular season, so there’s that.
Really happy for Kentucky baseball 
I think they will turn some heads with how good they are 
I think they will turn some heads with how good they are I hope Georgia wins tomorrow. It'd be cool to add another SEC team and we've already swept them. This years CWS is literally a SEC/ACC challenge.
I want:
Maine
Wichita State
Cal State Fullerton
Oklahoma State
Texas
Arizona State
Miami
I think I’d prefer a team that hasn’t seen UK play. I say NCSt. I know they ca watch film but just seems different live.
It don't matter much now. Only eight teams left for one trophy.
Luckily we avoid UNC and Tennessee in the first\second round. If we win against #7 UGA\#10 NC State we will play either #3 Texas A&M or Florida.
Seeding don't matter much and neither team will have much of a "Home Field" advantage since all the teams are on this side of the Mississippi except for Texas A&M.
Distance from all 8\9 Campuses to Omaha, Nebraska:
#2 Lexington, KY. (Kentucky) - 763 miles
#3 College Station, TX. (TA&M) - 825 miles
#1 Knoxville, TN. (Tennessee) - 916 miles
#7 Athens, GA. (Georgia) - 1,042 miles
#12 Charlottesville, VA. (Virginia) - 1,164 miles
#8 Tallahassee, FL (Florida State) - 1,173 miles
#4 Chapel Hill, NC. (North Carolina) - 1,206 miles
#10 Raleigh, NC (NC State) - 1,230 miles
N\R Gainesville, FL (Florida) - 1,316 miles

I think Georgia is playing much better than they were when we swept them way back in mid-March.
Congrats Boys!!! I’ve been a follower of the baseball Cats since the early 90s. It’s been a LONG road but this TEAM has finally done it! I think this could be the start of something special. Go and make some noise!
Room booked for Omaha! Bucket list trip for me. Didn’t know if I’d ever get to go watch us in the CWS.
Correct me if Im wrong, but its a 4 team, double elimination bracket now correct? on both sides of the full bracket, to determine who goes to the final?
Yep. It's 8 teams total. 2 brackets with 4 teams each. Double elmination. Basically kind of doing another NCAA tournament where we play a regional and then if we make the finals it's a best of 3 again.
I'm not seeing that. People now making plans that were waiting to see if their team made it to Omaha.
I meant once you are in Omaha you'll see teams lose the first two in their bracket and leave. One strategy that I've implemented is to begin staying in Bellevue, Nebraska and then move into Omaha once prices drop. Council Bluffs, across the river from Omaha, is also less expensive.
Correct. We can't see UT (or UNC, FSU, or UVA) until the best of 3 finals.
I have hotel booked for the entire week and a half, so sure hope I'm out there for a while. Every game will be tough, so I hope we show up hungry.
Omaha things to do:
Gorat's (Warren Buffet's favorite throwback-style steakhouse/restaurant);
Sullivan's steakhouse (better quality);
Upstream Brewing (also has cask-conditioned offerings and good food);
Ride bike across bridge into Iowa and along the river for exercise and scenery;
Nebraska Furniture Mart (mega furniture, electronics, applicances, etc. store owned by Berkshire);
Visit Boys Town (and watch video in the museum);
Dine, shop, and drink in the Old Market area;
Blatt's (eat and drink sportsbar adjacent to ballpark);
DJ's Dugout (sports bar within walking distance of ballbark that is worthy of a daily visit); and
Casinos in Council Bluffs (if casinos are your thing).
I spent 13 nights in Omaha in 2019 from opening ceremony to closing trophy presentation. I've been five times and found what I like. I'm sure that you'll form your favoritate, too.
