Team Mascot: Jake Morganstern
Team Beer: "Jack Daniels,  but once that runs out, PBR"
Team Song: "Ping Pong Song or Rock DJ, whichever gets the girls dancing."
Distance to Charlottesville, VA: 472 Miles
Roster: "Due to contract issues all I can say is that our pitcher is the Man With The Golden Dick."
Star Players: "This is a team effort.  And our team takes Canadian vitamins, so we all kick ass."
Law Review Nerds: "HAHAHA nerds playing sports, yeah right!  Actually, we probably have some on the team..."
Team's History: "Well, last year we had a kid dislocate his finger so violently it tore through the skin.  The ump goes, 'That's the grossest thing I've ever seen.'  So anything that is a step up from that is good with us."
Practice Regimen: "Practice?  Are you kidding me?  There's 4 feet of snow on the ground up here until April 15th.  If we are sober and aren't sunburned I'll be happy if we get 3 runs home."
Want to Play Against: "1980 USSR Men's Hockey Team.  USA!!!  USA!!!  USA!!!!!

Ok fine seriously - Georgia. Because we played them last year in the corner of a soccer field and they went yard every single time. Ever seen a man hit a 900 Ft Grand Slam? I have, and I want revenge. Actually, no one on that team even had Georgia gear on so them may have just been townies who were softball enthusiasts. Either way, My name is Maximus Decimus Meridius, Commander of the Armies of the North, General of the Felix Legions, loyal servant to the true emperor, Marcus Aurelius. Father to a murdered son, husband to a murdered wife. And I will have my vengeance, in this life or the next.
"
DON'T Want to Play Against: "Syracuse White.  Last thing we want to see is a bunch of Yetties from the North Country."
Favorite Thing About the Tournament: "Absolutely Everything.  You guys do a bang up job."
The Tournament Would Be Better If: "...it lasted a whole week."
Anything Else?: "We've answered like 15 things in here, and everyone is probably going to threaten to sue me for defamation of character, so we're going to leave it at that.  Chances are  you will find out more than you wanted to know over the weekend."
Analysts' Take: These Syracuse kids are pretty (pretty.....pretty.........pretty) convincing.  We're willing to agree with them that they're going to need to cherish every single one of their hard-earned runs and pray that they make it out of pod play.  That said, we love the attitude that they bring to the tourney every year, and we're definitely going out of our way to have  beer with them on Saturday night (or, Sunday morning...).
