off-topic but this is as good a place to ask anywhere. What does B1G stand for?

I know it is the Big Ten but I don't understand the B1G terminology. Now I will duck.

What I can't figure out is why any conference at all still has a number designation in their name.

Big 10 - has 12 teams.

Big 12 - has 10 teams.

PAC 10, at least changed their name to PAC 12, and actually has 12 teams.

Bear - This should help clarify.

What a meltdown right now by Bama. Had a 6-0 lead on Florida State heading into the 9th. Now it's 6-3 with bases loaded and no outs. Bama can't find a pitcher that can throw a strike, already 4 walks this inning. If FSU loses that would be a national seed already eliminated.

Thanks Matt.

I'm going to have to get my glasses changed. As hard as I try I cannot see 10 in B1G.

After last year losing this game would set the Bama program back years!

What a melt down.

Potentially.

 

[Bear19]

Goodbye national seed.

 

[utisdabomb12]

Somehow Bama holds on. They win 6-5. Florida State is eliminated, that's one national seed already gone.

It's a tarp

 

[Matt Cotcher]

So far today, all these teams have been eliminated:

4 - Binghamton

1 - FSU

4 - Kent State

Also, there's lightning around Reckling. A&M v GMU is delayed.

 

[Juan]

Tarp now being pulled off at Reckling

More rain is possible though

If there are no more lightning strikes, Texas A&M vs. George Mason is scheduled to start at 4:40, per Rice.

 

[Juan]

Officially, start of GMU game was delayed 1:37

 

[Matt Cotcher]

A&M is up 4-1 and this game is using a sundial to keep time. They just finished the 3rd.

More teams on their way home....

3 - Bryant

3 - Clemson

2 - Indiana State

3 - Columbia

3 - SDSU

3 - ODU

3 - Liberty

Neither pitcher can locate their pitches, so both teams are getting a bunch of hits. This game will take forever. GMU should actually have more runs to be honest. Good news is both teams are probably going to burn their bullpen unless both pitchers start to locate their stuff. 

 

[utisdabomb12]

George Mason killing themselves. A&M"s starting pitcher can't throw a strike and they keep swinging. Walked two that inning and George Mason ended the inning swinging at balls. Long has thrown 80 something pitches through 4 so his day is getting close to done. 

 

[utisdabomb12]

Long's day is done for A&M after 4 and 1/3 innings. 4-2 A&M, but George Mason has a guy on 1st and 2nd with one out. A&M should be thanking the BBCor bats right now or this game would be tied.
