Coastal Carolina - only because they were the team that knocked off my grad school Alma Mater, NC State in the Raleigh Regional. They were also a fun team to watch back when I was at NC State.

9: Coastal Carolina is the first school to reach the championship game in its first trip to the College World Series since Georgia Tech in 1994. The Chanticleers look to become the first team to win it all in their debut since Minnesota in 1956, the 10th year of the event. The past nine schools to make it this far in their first trip to Omaha lost in the title game.
I'm voting for Coastal Carolina if their nickname is the Chanticleers. That's the name of a small local chain of pizza joints up here and I love me some pizza.

OMAHA, Neb. -- The decisive third game of the College World Series finals between Arizona and Coastal Carolina was postponed Wednesday night until Thursday because of stormy weather.

First pitch is set for 1:08 p.m. ET on ESPNU.
Rain and lightning in the area forced a delay of 2 hours, 23 minutes Wednesday before the postponement was announced.
More rain was forecast after midnight, which could have forced another delay if the game started after 10 p.m. locally.
"I think they decided that's probably not what's best for the players," Arizona coach Jay Johnson said.
 
Saw Standsbury retweet a picture of the crowd for the noon championship game. MAYBE 1000 people there.

Shame that a deciding game for a D1 sport was put at noon on a Thursday on ESPNU
 
Go Coastal! Would be a great story. If I still lived in Omaha I would have taken some time off for the game, especially if only 1000 people really showed up. Probably get in for cheap.
 
What a game to watch on Gamecast. Good on the NCAA for postponing this game from primetime on a Wednesday to noon on a Thursday. Solid decision.
