NCAA Tournament

I attended the CWS in Rosenblatt through much of the 80s -- with my grandfather.

Michigan was there one of those years I attended. They had Barry Larkin and Chris Sabo -- who then went on to be Cincinnati Reds. Damn good players.

I believe Michigan has made the college World Series 8 times and the run a couple years ago trumps anything Nebraska has done. Poor conference or not taking Vandy to the wire that year was impressive

Take away the Van Horn era, and we'd have very little to brag about.

DVH is still the reason today why we still have hope. He brought an interest to NU baseball that had never been near that level before.

Hard to imagine it's been 20 years since Van Horn's last season in Lincoln. We ride the Van Horn years like we do the Osborne years. Yet, the odds are good we'll never match either coach's success ever again. That's 99.99999% for Osborne, 90% for Van Horn.

I heard the exact same thing said from kids from Alabama back in the 80’s in the Army.

“No way we will ever approach ‘the Bear’ again”……

Then a guy named Saban arrived.

Never say never my friends…..

Will any team keep Tennessee from winning it all? They are like Arkansas last season -- clearly the best the regular season.

Answered today.

Notre Dame eliminates #1 Tennessee and moves on to the CWS. Tennessee ended up like Arkansas last season. The clear favorite heading into the postseason -- now an early exit.

CWS participants, thus far:

Texas A&M
Notre Dame
Oklahoma (who upset #3 Virginia Tech)

Half the field could be from the SEC.

Add in Oklahoma and likely Texas (up 9-1 in the 2nd) ... obviously they are still Big 12, but the SEC will probably go ahead and claim their sucess now lol

Texas A&M
Ole Miss
Arkansas

Possibly Auburn (though down 0-2 to Oregon State currently in the 4th)

Texas
Oklahoma
(I've heard rumors that those two are expected to be in the SEC next season, not 2025)

And the SEC Champ is heading home.
