"Nice kids, great coach, fun to follow. Get 'em next time."

Agreed, wholeheartedly, though it does not match with your other comments.

"The umpires are "literally incompetent" is pure fanboy fabrication."

You might want to read Not John Belushi's comment about video from the championship round of Oklahoma's pitcher illegally "crow hopping" as it is called, but the umpires never called it once. Read my followup comparison if the same thing happened in track and field. Incompetent is a correct term, as the video proves. Corrupt might be another, but more difficult to prove.

Like it or not, spectator sports in America are important to many people and just as legitimate a business, even at the collegiate level, as any other. You are welcome to your opinion that it is "just a game." Ticket sales and billions in commercial support prove otherwise. For those to whom it is important, the rules matter regardless of team allegiance. Get over it.
