Only 3 national seeds advanced past the regionals, tied for the fewest ever. If Virginia and ULL lose tonight, only 1 national seed (TCU) would make it to Omaha.

That's parity that we haven't seen in a very long time, if ever. The new bats have helped put smaller programs on a little more equal footing than they were before.

TCU still has to win to advance. Currently tied in the 8th.

so have the 35 man roster limits, something that skip never had to deal with. those strict, 35 total and 27 scholarship players, limits didn't go into effect until 2009. that rule alone forced the talent to be dispersed

Yeah, i am by no means a CPM apologist because I am still in awe at how he handled our pitching staff that sunday game, but I also don't understand why so many ofour fans chalk this up to "positiger" rhetoric.

pat henry no longer dominates track
the pac 12 no longer dominates softball
college basketball is as unpredictable as ever

It's not really outrageous to point out how even the playing field is these days. Also it'd be nice if we could actually catch a break from the MLB draft like schools such as Vandy, UF, and TCU have (please Mac Marshall )
