Someone on Wikipedia put an asterisk over Louisville-Michigan baseball
Somebody (not me!) edited Wikipedia with this info. See for yourself at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2022_NCAA_Division_I_Baseball_Tournament#Regionals_and_Super_Regionals
Damn straight. What about Basketball as THE BLOCK WAS CLEAN!!!
Should just do a find and replace to L*uisville on all NCAA records.
Officials that do L*uisville games should just go ahead and wear their school colors.
Two excellent proposals.
this changes everything
Seems fitting, considering how the officials showed their asterisks during the game.
I don't like the caption because it's wrong - Louisville didn't cheat. A better caption would read: 'Louisville scored 4 runs after 3 outs because the umps (one of which is a UL grad and employee at ESPN-L'Ville*) refused to overturn an obvious, replay verified throw out at 2nd base, and then allowed two batters to continue batting despite 3 obvious thrown strikes'.
Just keep it to simple facts...
(* - was this ever verified, or just a rumor from some twit poster?)
Let's go Aggies, win both games and knock out the Cardinals.
And now it's gone.
You know anyone can edit wikipedia to make it say whatever they want, right? This is like making a thread about an anonymous tweet.
Exactly. Things like this don't stay up long because a lot of people put in effort curating pages to make them free from snark, jokes, or vandalism.
Someone deleted it already. The mystery deepens…
After further review, the asterisk was changed by the replay official.
This whole situation sucks. Clearly a big piece of the blame lies with the on-field ump, a UL graduate who was probably operating with a "tie goes to the Cardinals" mentality, but I can at least understand he may have had a bad angle, sun/dust in his eyes or other factors to make the real-time call difficult. But the biggest problem is with the replay official who blew one of the most clear-cut calls ever seen despite none of those complications. Unfortunate all around.
not really all around, not unfortunate for Louisville.
Although a part of me wants to write this off as "relax its baseball". Ever since JT Was short I have become hyper-sensitive to getting dong punched.
It's difficult to watch the end of the game and not come to the conclusion that it was fixed.
