Then again, the overwhelming potbanger talking points were that "it doesn't matter how great a team we were because we didn't get to Omaha". But then that changed when we did make Omaha with a "lesser" team.

Kind of like where you omitted the part of my post where ij basically said the same thing as you? Top 16 =/= best 16Quote:
Top 16 teams in 1 year do not necessarily mean the same top 16 in later years.
You can't say "top 16 teams" and then start picking and choosing teams from dfifferent seasons.
The year we made Omaha we were a top 16 team. The years we didn't, we weren't. Maybe the competition was tougher those years.
Edit to add that top 16 teams does not necessarily mean best 16 teams. It just means you won the right games at the right time in the right places.
The above part. Which was posted quite a bit before you replied.
Now you're just making stuff up. I always said we took care of the lesser team placed in front of us. You keep contending that beating Davidson was tantamount to beating a team like UNC.
Let me ask you, would you have preferred to play UNC for that super or Davidson? You seem to think defeating Davidson was some herculean accomplishment that validated our season.

Also, you have 31,000 posts on this site to my 7,000. Who needs a better hobby here?
I obviously did not see it.Quote:

But that's a damn weird distinction and if that's your opinion, than I'm less clear about why you responded that way about "top" teams to a post where The Debt used "better."

Did I once say defining... don't be a ****ing dick. Don't compare a 100+ game season to less. That is all I am saying.

But I digress before I'm accused of doing the same.
The best team doesn't always win. Yes, it sucks that we lost this game; especially considering how well Kolek pitched. He pitched well enough that he deserved to get the win.
Everyteam that plays loses some games that they should not lose, and they usually win games that they should have lost.
Since 1947, there have only been 17 teams that won the College World Series with SINGLE-DIGIT losses at the end of the season. Cal St Fullerton was the last team to do it back in 1995 (RIP Augie). Hell, Fresno St won it all in 2008 and they had 31 losses.
THIS SEASON IS FAR FROM OVER! All it takes is for a team to get hot at the right time, make their conference tourney, make it in the field of 64, and make sure they win the last 2 games of the season!

Yep, they are are also the same folks who will weep, wail & gnash their teeth that the NCAA Committee always screws us by giving a super tough Road to Omaha yet when we catch a break it somehow doesn't really count because it wasn't against tougher competition. I'm sure The Debt thinks I should be super depressed not only in that it has been 1993 since the Ags earned a W in Omaha but also because it was not against one of the Who's Who but to usually lowly Kansas.
You're right. Spending 31,000 posts here is a FAR better hobby because I said something you didn't like....

Sorry it you missed my point because I used an MLB examples. The point I was trying to make with that post was that **** happens in baseball and even the best teams have stretches in which they look horrible.ja86 said:jkag89 said:

We BOTH went 0-2 at last year's College World Series, but Cal St Fullerton was the FIRST team that was eliminated last year. The fact that that side of the bracket played first is just a technicality.The Debt said:Quote:

The premium board has some exponential star algorithm. Somehow they always win POTD when more people visit, participate, and star on the Zoo.
If a poster gets 300 stars on the free board; somehow the premium board, with fewer people, get 400...It's very suspect.

Lmao like 4chan finding Shia LaBeoufs flag despite only having it pointing at the sky. They used star patterns, flight maps, the sounds of specific frogs, etc and found it in a day and a half. What if they got together to olve world hunger?!
