Sadly, the Tigers did not remain "undeated," as they fell to those pesky Longhorns 5-1 last night behind freshman pitcher Taylor Jungmann's 9-inning tossing clinic. Game 3 is tonight at 7:30 to determine which team will be crowned the kings of Omaha, Nebraska.

Regardless of what team wins, I think this guy should be invited to any post-game celebration.:

Good morning. It's Wednesday, which means there will be free bagels at Gawker HQ today. Hobo humpin'.

First it was a drooling cameraman, then it was Arizona State relief pitcher Mitchell Lambson, who was also mesmerized by the backside view of the Sideline Princess as she sashayed across the field. The emailer (thanks LJ) said Lambson gave up two runs in relief soon after this shot was taken. She's a menace; she must be stopped.

Good morning. It's Wednesday. Find your own senorita to keep you distracted throughout the day.

Yes, that was Erin Andrews' black-jeaned bottom that received some accidental extended face time last night. It appears one camera man was briefly paralyzed by his fortunate vantage point for a few seconds, panicked, and then clumsily pulled away once he realized they were back live. LSU trounced Arkansas 9-1 (no justice for Mike Irwin) and remains unbeaten in the CWS.

Anyway. Good morning. It's going to be an exciting day here at Suckingcock.com. (More on that later, all day probably.)

If you watch the full story, you can see Irwin try to blame it all on LSU fans—who the Razorbacks play in the College World Series tonight—but there are several southern schools represented among the rabble. No need to discriminate, Mike!

Georgia took a 1-0 series lead last night, and we can only hope Fresno State hangs around long enough to get skullet-ed first baseman Kris Tomlinson as many plate appearances as possible.

Hey, we were in college during grunge; we weren't too far from this, actually.

We congratulate the Oregon State Beavers on their second consecutive College World Series title, particularly because they're a bunch of crazy rapping white guys. The video above is of catcher Mitch Canham, who wants to make sure you check out O State Ballaz, the official hip-hop homepage of the 2006 and 2007 College World Series Champions. O-State, fools ... O-State!

One of the main reasons to enjoy the College World Series: The brilliant, obviously university-educated, fan signs in the crowd. That one's from a Mississippi State fan.

And here's a Oregon State booster:

Even Josh Centor over at The Double A Zone — the "official blog" of the NCAA — calls the policy "arcane" and sorta blames ESPN ... but we can't put this one on the Leader. It's not like the College World Series marks the first time anyone has ever live-blogged something from press row that was on ESPN.

Let's take a look at some of the parameters of the idiocy.

• If we are understanding the NCAA correctly, someone who is sitting in a press box providing "live" updates from a game is breaking some sort of ridiculous "rights" policy, but someone who is watching the game on ESPN and doing the same thing is not. We do not know if this applies to anyone who might update their site from their blackberry from the stands. We hope they eject their ass too. Oh, and if a friend of yours texts you asking the score, you better not tell write them back. The moral of the story: If someone from the NCAA is giving you grief about live blogging a game, just step 50 feet away. The NCAA has now, by definition, given the proverbial guy in the basement better access to his/her readers than someone in their own press box. SMART.

• For years, the Associated Press and other wire services have been providing in-game updates to editors from the site of important events. (This is why the game story of a title game is almost always ready the second the game's over.) This is different because ... well, because the Associated Press just stopped using typewriters, we guess. Fortunately, nothing involving the College World Series will ever be considered an "important event." So wait: When exactly does it count as "acceptable" to file a game story? Will NCAA hoods be scoping the press box, making sure all the typing is limited strictly to Word files? DON'T HIT THAT SEND BUTTON, BUDDY.

• Hey, why didn't they throw Chuck Klosterman out of the Final Four? That would have been incredibly entertaining to read about.

• CSTV — one of the two national media outlets that actually cares about the College World Series — had been planning on live-blogging every CWS game. They can't now. This is an outstanding decision by the NCAA, because it denies coverage of a signature event to a fanbase that might want to read it.

It's gonna be fun to watch them scramble in the next couple of days, though. We give this policy, oh, a week.
