Oh no the call is overturned the Racers now need 1 more out. I sure hope they get it!

I'm glad the call was overturned - it wasn't interference. However, I was sensing the worse that Duke would hit a 2-run homer and win the game. I'm glad the call ultimately didn't matter.

That photo is several years old, but not much has changed. It's incredibly surreal when you consider that for most of Murray State's existence, it has been a low-tier program. Their last conference championship was a surprise win of the OVC in 2003 (now in the MVC). And now, with their $0 NIL budget, they are on their way to Omaha.

My buddy just went by as the team arrived back in town. He confirmed, the trophy is real. I'm now scrambling to figure out how to make my way to Nebraska this weekend. This is a Haley's Comet-type event.

Hey @bugatti, are these legit photos?

Ha. These old pictures surfacing are hilarious. This looks like something following a wind storm.

This is from the athletics website:

It's all over the place.

That said, we are not exactly talking some kind of stadium marvel and the improvements have been more of the "fresh coat of paint" variety.

I did see where the head coach and the rest of the staff (supposedly) help maintain the grounds at points. That's awesome.
