Fresh off its 2010 Atlanta Regional Championship, Alabama remains on the road to face the Clemson Tigers in the 2010 NCAA Super Regional at Doug Kingsmore Stadium in Clemson, S.C. The best-of-three series will be played Saturday, June 12 (5 p.m., CDT), Sunday, June 13 (6 p.m., CDT) and Monday, June 14 (TBA). The series opener will be televised by ESPNU, while games two and three will be shown on ESPN 2, with Mark Neely (play-by-play) and Ben McDonald (analyst) describing the action. The Alabama-Clemson winner will advance to the 2010 College World Series in Omaha, Neb., and will take on the Arizona State-Arkansas Super Regional winner in a first-round game at historic Johnny Rosenblatt Stadium. Alabama (41-23) defeated national No. 8 seed Georgia Tech 10-8 on Monday, June 7, to capture the NCAA Atlanta Regional.
Alabama enters the Super Regional having won 12 of its last 14 games. Clemson (41-22) advanced to the Super Regional after winning the 2010 Auburn (Ala.) Regional. The Tigers posted a 3-1 record and defeated Southern Miss and Auburn (twice). After losing to Auburn in game six, Clemson bounced back with 13-7 win in the championship game to advance to play the Crimson Tide this weekend.
On the mound for the Tide tonight will be Jimmy Nelson (8-3, 3.92 ERA) and he will be going against Casey Harman (7-2, 3.95 ERA). From the sound of things, this is a pretty big ballpark... 400 in dead center, 370 in the alleys, 320 to left, and 330 to right.
In any event, you can watch the game online if your ISP allows you access to ESPN3.com, but if not you'll have to follow it online or on the radio. Chime in here with all of your thoughts.

Never would have thought
I’d still be watching our baseball team right now while our softball team is out. Nevertheless, Roll Tide! I’m always up for beating the Tigers

Earlier reports...
Earlier reports throughout the day were stating that, but apparently they had a last-minute programming change.

Maybe after the OK-UVA game.
My guide (U-Verse) has it listed as the Clemson SR, so maybe it’ll change over after this game.
Ahh. Well let's hope!
Fixin to get out of a meeting and was gonna head straight to the tv!

ESPNU...
… is what the game was supposed to be on, but we’ll.
At the rate this OU v. UVA game is going on, it’s going to be another hour or so before they can switch to the ’Bama game.

They keep talking about this game on ESPNU...
… and I think they are going to show it on there eventually.
The problem is that the OU v. UVA game had a long rain delay earlier, so I think that has thrown the programming schedule off.

I watched
on ESPN and it was spotty.
Great win and great pitching by Jake Smith to nail this down.
They have a weird park and some definite advantages but I think Morgan will get it done tomorrow. Hopefully we will hit it a little better too.
If we have to expand...let's keep it to 14.
sooo
do we want florida to beat miami? i tend to pull against them just cuz, but maybe we want the SEC to be well represented at the CWS?
"You have to create 6 seconds of hell each play..."

With UF & the U
it is a toss up in my mind. I hate UF, but I hate Miami as well. I guess I’d go with UF.
The team I really want to see get in besides us is Vandy.

Yes
too many bad tastes in my mouth re: Da’ U.
