Where is the big 12

[William]

Anyone ever notice how Willie only posts on BCS/Big 12 related threads?

I'm sort of like a super-hero, defender of truth, B.S. detector all wrapped into one Fever. I only comment when I feel my comments are warranted, not just to hear my head rattle. Everything on the Field Turf thread, and the Summer Assignments thread appears to be above board hence no comment. It's an innovative way of determining when to post and when to just shut my piehole, but this method of only posting when you have something relevent, interesting to say is quite frankly sweeping the nation and Fever I think you should jump aboard because this trains got momentum and before long serial posters, and people more suited to twitter are going to be ignored and left in a road side ditch somewhere. Fever this will probably be my last response to you, I tire of childish things, and I will be spending my time more wisely fighting falsehoods wherever I find them, yours I will just ignore.

Whoa. A whole paragraph's worth? Really? Niiiice. :good:

You got beaten to a pulp in every pro-BCS argument you made. It wasn't even close.

Man, where is that youtube video Cold had with the alligator and little puppy? I need to cue that baby..

Of course you're gonna ignore me now. Once you've been beaten to a pulp, you know your place.

"I guess that I am a cranky old man who has little patience at 62. But, I do like the back and forth of opinion and view...minus all the juvenile chest thumping.

I do enjoy this board...I learn more about baseball outside the closed loop of ACC/SEC baseball.

The Shocker fans seem to be one of the more knowledgeble fan bases that I have run across...and offer a perspective that is different from what I see from my southeastern vantage point.

For instance...I had no idea that WSU had two freshmen pitchers with stats like those.

Give 8 Valley teams a crack and I’d imagine at least 1 could get hot and perhaps luck into a regional win, especially if you involve regional hosts into the equation. WSU/MSU/CU would be more than capable of winning a regional at home against the Austin seeds 2-4. Given the home cooking served up by Chef Weiser it’s astounding the B12 only batted .125

This year was one of the worst year's in Valley history for baseball.

Pick almost any other year, give the Valley 8 teams including 2 national seeds and the Valley probably gets at least one team to the supers and maybe more.

We NEVER get that opportunity so we will never know for sure.

We do know that the Valley did send 2 teams to Omaha in 1991 and we didn't need 8 bids to the tourney to get 2 teams all of the way to the CWS. :wsu_posters:

Not only that those two teams played clear til Thursday and one of them played on the final day.

1991 was an awesome year. Wish we had more of those in the future.

How often do two ACC teams make the Final 4 of the CWS? (Consider, 8 6-team regionals was a harder format to get two Valley teams in as well)

Mconnell, Stahoviak,Hinton,Benes, had to be the best Bluejay team of all time.

And yet WSU was 8-0 against them that year... most of em whoopin's.

The ACC puts teams through until the CWS semi's or finals but seems to fall short in those semi finals and finals...can't beat the best of the best.

ACC teams reached the Semi finals or finals in 2008, 2007, 2006, 2002, 2000, 1999, 1997, 1996, 1994...

The ACC has been consistant in putting teams in the CWS..but has had difficulty winning the final or semi final games...The ACC team was runner up in 2007, 2006, 2000, 1999, 1994

No.. no.. once again you misunderstood the question. My question was when was the last time TWO ACC teams made the FINAL 4 of the CWS in the SAME year?

Valley > ACC :cry:

[beatmu]

Seriously, a team that doesn't even qualify for its own conference post-season tournament makes the NCAAs?

I think the Shocker locals have a legit gripe about the XII getting eight teams in the tourney
