It really doesn't, the PAC 12 sucks at baseball.

Dude, then why did Oregon State win the whole thing a couple of years ago two times in a row?

dude, the PAC has always been good in Baseball and Softball, esp the warmer area's/schools like, Stanford, UCLA, USC, Arizona and Arizona St.

Wow, did you really try to say Nike doesn't help Oregon more than other schools?

Dude, of course NIke helps UO more then any. We are their baby, their pet. And Nike is just up the road a little. Most people that work there are UO alums. I have been there many times, I know.

However not help in terms of giving money. Nike does not give Oregon money. Nike just mainly helps out Oregon in terms of gear and stuff, supplying them with the nicest and greatest. So help yes, help in terms of money no. Nike founder and his wife do that as private people, big difference...

For those that say Oregon only has flashy Uniforms and facilities because we have no tradition, well to one extent you are right. But do not forget that all of such has BECOME our tradition. It has become our Tradition to not ware a same uni anytime in the same season.

People can invent new Traditions you know. All schools that have any traditions at one time did not have those, and those were invented. All Traditions have to be brand new at one point in time. This now is our established Tradition. It is not to hard to figure out...

The PAC has always been good in baseball. Still doesn't mean #15 deserves to be a top 8 seed.

I don't call it swag. No one here in Oregon calls it swag. That is not a term we use or think about over here. I think that is a display of passion, school/team/program/state passion. Nothing elts. And ya, our Defense plays with lots of intensity and fire(hard hits ect), and always have.

When I think of Swag, I think of the U of old- as they invented it probably. And in modern times, my eyes have never seen more swag then LSU's Defense. They literally define swag, imo. LSU's Defense has the most Swag of any team in the Nation, by a country mile, imo.

Some may say USC(w) has it too. But naaaaa, that is cockiness, spoiledness thinking you are better then everyone.

It think almost all SEC defense's have tons if swag, in this order. 1)LSU, 2)Auburn, 3)UGA, 4)Bama, 5)Florida, 6)USC(e).

I did not go to school there. But I have been a Duck since I was a little boy, even back when they were the joke of the PAC-10. I went to a little University in Eastern Oregon, close to home.

To be honest, I do not really follow college baseball almost at all. I just assumed the seedings would be more, such as in basketball. I did not know they only seed 8 teams. I literally have no clue how college baseball seedings work. I just knew 2 things. A)Oregon is currently leading the PAC-12 in Baseball standings(as I heard it on the radio). B)Oregon State did win back to back titles in it a couple of years ago. I actually watched those on TV, and them beat North Carolina ect...

And if you think about it. For UO to be #1 in PAC-12 right now is pretty incredibly because just a couple of years ago we did not have a baseball team. Oregon state won those two, and it make our admins jealous, so they cut our wrestling program and started a baseball program, built a new field/stadium ect.... so pretty good for being so new a program dont ya think?

You should host a regional and that's a great job. Still, no way in hell should you be a top 8 seed and get a super regional should you advance.

I will take your word for it bro. Being honest, I do not even know what a regional or super regional is bro. I do not follow C-Baseball unless an Oregon team is in or near the finals,

But since you seem to follow C-Baseball well. Can I ask you something? Has my Ducks actually been picked yet, or seeded with such yet? And is it a lock that you think they will? If you do not mind me asking. Why complain about it if it is not for sure bro? If you think we get picked over more deserving teams, the scream bloody murder. But they have not been even seeded yet right?

Few weeks left in the season and all of the projections have them getting the nod. The contempt comes from LSU being left out of the tourney last year because the NCAA wants more exposure to the North. Now LSU is on the cusp of missing out on a national seed for the same reason. LSU at home is 10x better than LSU on the road so a top 8 seed is huge.

With all due respect, I have saw UF a lot for CFB. And I did make note of them. They are probably in the top 7 or so teams in all America for it. But more then LSU? Are you kidding me?

I am not a LSU fan in any way. And I do not praise anything LSU just cause I am on this site. Most LSU fans hate me btw, lol. However, LSU defines Swag with D. I have never seen a more swag team with LSU except the U years ago. UF is up there, but not close to LSU's, imo.

Not knocking UF at all, for you guys have much to boast about, very loud stadium in the swamp, the time you won both CFB and Basketball titles in the same year. Dude, your whole athletics are incredible. Your track team is famous, known for it's sprinters. All around UF has great Athletics. Plus you all have the hottest female celeb as a former Alum in Erin Andrews. How cool is that? When I think of UF I think of not just a CFB school, but all around Stud Athletic program in all sports, not to mention I think of a bonus of having hot women! Only tOSU and Texas, Stanford are near you guys in completeness with all sports though, imo. And you guys probably at the top one...

Or rather reward teams that play on the road and penalize teams that try to hide their weaknesses and inflate their record by playing all their games at home.

I am sorry to hear that for you guys bro. Ya, LSU is more passionate about Baseball then any other college by a country mile. I can see why this would upset ya.

Sorry if my Ducks in the end, end up getting in over ya. I have no control over it, as you know. And as you have educated me on this, I really had no clue. Maybe they in the end will pick you guys still? Don't give up hope until then.

BTW, that would be sad for us to get in over you guys. As much as my school built a new basketball arena and baseball field 2 years ago, or whenever for baseball, our fans are just not supporting them that much. At UO, the fans really only support 2 sports and only 2. We could care less about the rest. It's Track and Football. That is it for us. I know you guys eat/sleep/drink Baseball and Football(and used to Track). And I also know that the fans around Omaha dig your team more then any others. Hopefully College Baseball will factor your passion for Baseball(more then any school by a country mile)into the selection...
