M. Golf. #STINGDAILY: The Elephant In The Room

Baseball. #STINGDAILY: The Champ Is Here!

A year can make a world of difference, especially in college baseball.As Georgia Tech heads into the 2013 ACC Baseball Championships, it hopes it's not TOO big a difference.Heading into the 2012 ACC Tournament, Tech's expectations were a little bit guarded. Although riding a wave of emotion, the unranked Yellow Jackets could just as easily have been on fumes after having to scratch and claw just to get in, beating Miami, 2-1, on the season's final day to secure the eighth seed. There was next-to-no pressure, considering no No. 8 seed had ever won the Tournament, only two No. 8 seeds had ever reached the title game, and Tech would have had to run a gauntlet of No. 1 Florida State, arch-rival Clemson and No. 19 Virginia in pool play, alone.Playing relaxed, and riding the hot hand and bat of Jake Davies, they would become the first No. 8 seed to win it all.This year, expectations are a little different.

M. Golf. #STINGDAILY: Under Pressure

When you look at the numbers, Georgia Tech's work in the NCAA regional in Tallahassee was nowhere near the best we've seen from the Yellow Jackets in their golfing history. Not even top 10.

Sometimes, golf is more than digits. Take these regionals; all a team has to do is finish top five to advance to the NCAA championships, and Tech did so by finishing fourth.

North Florida won this at 830. The Jackets were at 849. Oklahoma beat South Florida in a playoff for the final spot after they tied at 854. Nobody cares about numbers so long as you're top five; it's a qualifier.

For Tech, that was major work because there was an anvil on everyone's head.
