From the outside, perhaps Carolina's 2006 memories of Oregon State are supposed to be painful.
That will be the storyline this week, of course. The Tar Heels and Beavers will meet on Saturday in the opening game of the College World Series, the first time the two programs have met on the diamond since Oregon State won back-to-back championship matchups in 2006 and 2007.
We'll get to 2007 in tomorrow's story. For today, we're focused strictly on 2006. You certainly know the basics: Carolina won the first game of the best-of-three series 4-3. But Oregon State came back from a 5-0 deficit in game two and took an 11-7 win.
