CWS: Ok, I'm going to say it

Did you know the ACC has four teams in Omaha?

I'm guessing you already knew that, considering every other question this week has been about those four teams arrival in Omaha. But regardless of the newbies asking the same questions over and over, the first round has belonged to the ACC.

North Carolina knocked off Fullerton. Miami pounded Oregon State. The only game they lost was an interconference game between Clemson and Georgia Tech.

This showing is just what they needed. After years of being told they choke in the postseason, this league is exorcising those demons this week. If their second round is anything like their first, the quartet from tobacco road (and points south) will finally have their moment in the sun.
