Anyone watching the FSU-Wichita State game?

FSU up 6-0 and cruising...2 outs bottom of 2nd, 1 runner on. FSU gets the hitter to pop up into foul territory for the 3rd out but a Seminole fan pulls a Bartman and snags it away from the fielder.

Next pitch...homerun. 6-2 ballgame.

I hate Wichita State. That is where Eric Wedge:( graduated from.

Ya, I just watched that play too, crazy!

Wichita loves their Shockers though, it's all over the local media and the home games are usually packed. Everywhere here is gold and white. I can't blame them though, all they have is Shocker baseball (and a couple years ago a basketball team) and Bryce Brown!
