Louisville advances to College World Series for 2nd time. Beat Vanderbilt 2-1

Congrats to the Cards! What a crazy year for Louisville athletics.

My guess, John Swofford is sending roses to Jim Delany & DeLoss Dodds...

The biggest day was 28 November 2012 when the ACC gave us the last chair in the realignment game of musical chairs...

It's been one hell of a year for Louisville athletics. Enjoy it while it lasts. Years like this don't come around every day...

Congrats! Omaha is a nice city, hopefully the Cardinal faithful will show up.

As someone who bleeds black and gold, congrats to the Cardinals. You guys deserved it.

Congrats to the Cards, once again. The CWS is a great experience. Enjoy it, like Bitcruncher said, it doesn't happen that often.

Thanks, They say the pounding We took from You Guys earlier was the turning point on the road back. Your school, Vanderbilt, is a tremendous Athletic program that many look up to not just in the SEC but around the nation. Great Classy Fans.

What an amazing athletic program.....

Congrats Cards...what an epic sports year for you guys.

Congratulations Louisville! You took the game to Vanderbilt two days in a row while they sat back and waited for a mistake. The aggressor and the better team won. Good luck in Omaha and watch out for those Hoosier bats. They are one of the best hitting teams I've watched in a while and they are no fluke.

Hate Vandy, glad they lost

Definately not a Vandy fan after we got wind of their nonsense in Memphis two years ago. They thought their crap didn't stink and then some. They thought they would kill us. We knew we could win. Heck, I was wearing my UC shirt on Beale St when the Vandy mascot walked up behind me, put his elbow in my back and shoved me off the curb. It was kinda funny actually, but I've disliked Vandy ever since. I'm not going to say congrats or go cards because that's not in my make up. Nice to see a Big East team in the CWS and leave it at that. I think you guys have raised the bar for Cincinnati. With our new baseball hire Ty Neal, we maybe there in the next ten years. We have great facilities. I've even read an article about the Georgia coach that was just fired. He had a chance to see our facilities and said he couldn't believe it. Cincinnati has all of a sudden decided they want a good baseball team. After watching them since 1978, I thought Cincinnati would have pushed much harder a long time ago. I did see the Cards this year against UC at the collegiate game at Great American Ballpark. It was after a Reds game. It was actually a good game. The Cards won 4-1. We played the Cards tough in all three games this year. But tough don't get it done. If it wasn't for the competition from that school down south (Louisville), Cincinnati would be playing wiffle ball, touch football and hosting episodes of The Voice".
I think part of the success UL has had this year is related to being chosen by the ACC. The fans, coaches and donors are all hyped over this change. That would be understandable. Good Luck Cards.

Damn, what a year for the 'Ville.

Indiana makes it too. First Big Ten team since 1983.

Yes, but what did their Lacrosse Team do this year? Seriously, you beat the #2 team in the country. Awesome!!!

"Wind of their nonsense"? I don't even know what that means. I can't speak for every one of my brethren, but I can tell you that I for one never felt good about that game going into it. UC was a more experienced and talented team and a Big East co-champion, while we didn't get bowl eligible until the final game of the season. We were just happy to be there. Sorry you had such a bad experience.

Thanks to everybody for the kind remarks about the Ville.
