Hmmm…it’s this funny lookin’ guy again. He has such big ears, long nose, stubby tail, and short legs. Hey! That sounds like me. Am I a relative to an anteater? A UC Irvine Anteater?
I’m not sure what this creature is that makes a “Zot!” noise, but he seems like he would be fun to play with. He also has a long tongue like mine. I also don’t know if I would eat that ant, but I definitely would like to lick him!
For all you fellow UC Irvine Anteaters (those who remember the “old school” logo), this is where the original UCI logo originated from – BC Comics!
Unfortunately, UC Irvine did not advance in the College World Series, as they lost to defending champion Oregon St., 7-1, yesterday.
It was a good run anyways. Given the fact that this was their first trip to the College World Series, and that they only started playing Division I baseball a few years ago, this was a job well done!
If you don’t know what that word means in the title, then you didn’t go to UC Irvine like I did. “Zot!” is the noise an anteater makes when he’s eating…what else…ants! 😮
Well, it seems that UC Irvine is eating up the competition at the 2007 College World Series going on in Omaha, Nebraska. From an Associated Press story posted on June 19, 2007:
OMAHA, Neb. — That team with a funny nickname is serious about winning a national championship.
The UC Irvine Anteaters won in their final at-bat for the third time in four games on Tuesday night, knocking off Arizona State 8-7 in 10 innings in an elimination game at the College World Series.
The hero this time was Ollie Linton, whose bases-loaded single completed their comeback from four runs down in the eighth inning and extended their first appearance in the CWS.
So after beating Texas in the regionals, Wichita State in the super regionals and neighborhood rival Cal State Fullerton and then Arizona State in the CWS, the Anteaters now take aim at defending national champion Oregon State.
