    Fullerton State is usually in the top 10-20 every year. Anyone know
    how they have started this year?

    College baseball has pretty much been predictable over the last 10-20
    years.  The same teams from the warmer climate states (Arizona,
    Florida, Texas, Oklahoma, California) are always in the top 10.
    
    Mike

        Yeah your right and in college hockey all the norther states
    are at the top.

    ....and most schools don't have both hockey and baseball(?)
    

>    ....and most schools don't have both hockey and baseball(?)
    
     because most schools don't have hockey.  Almost all schools with a
     hockey program also have a baseball program, though not necessarily
     a division I baseball program.

    Not to be putting down the U of M, Bob, but I don't recall ever
    seeing them in the Top 20.  Have they ever made it to the WS?
    
    The WS is usually most of the same group of teams every year (and
    they're mostly the "warmer climate" teams).
    
    A couple of years ago Oklahoma State set a record for the most
    appearances in the WS.  [Since OSU has never won it then that also
    makes them the "biggest losers in the WS".  8^(  ]

    I don't have my College World Series program handy but Maine was
    3rd in the country in 1976 and was consistently in the CWS in the
    late seventies and early-mid eighties.
    
    John

    I realize that New England college baseball isn't great as a whole
    but there are some good teams up here.  Maine, however, is sort
    of in a class by itself.
    
    Maine battles tougher weather than any other school in New England
    playing a major college schedule.  The weather is probably similar
    to that faced by the Midwest college powers such as Michigan and
    Minnesota.  Like most New England teams, they don't even get outside
    until they go on their spring break trip.
    
    Maine is the only New England school to play a full 60-game schedule.
    One thing that helps is that UMaine has a two-week spring break.
    The Baseball team leaves early, comes back late and this year played
    something like 23 games on their spring break.  They don't play
    any poor teams either.
    
    Maine will very often play doubleheaders throughout the spring on
    Friday, Saturday and Sunday; they are the only New England school
    to do so.  Most of those games are on the road because of their
    weather.  And UMaine is a 3.5 - 4 hour drive from their nearest
    league member, the University of New Hampshire.
    
    Before going into league tournament play, Maine usually plays a
    big home series against a major school from elsewhere in the country.
    Last year, it was UCLA.  Two years ago, it was Miami.
    
    Maine has terrific fans.  I only travelled up there for football
    twice, never for baseball, but for a school which at the time was
    dreadful in football, no one had better backing.  Their baseball
    crowds are legendary and I've seen the support give to their hockey
    team.
    
    Maine has a great coach in John Winkin.  He won a phenomenal amount
    of games, first at Colby College and then at Maine, where he's been
    since 1977.  He took over a terrific program from a man named Jack
    Butterfield, who left to become a front office executive with the
    Yankees and tragically died in a car accident shortly after getting
    the job.
    
    One of the things that's hurt Maine over the last couple of years
    has been the move away from straight geographic seeding for the
    CWS by the NCAA.  It's made the road tougher for Maine as it has
    for the rest of the schools in the northeast.
    
    I would say that given the obstacles they have - weather, travel
    and overall lack of talent in New England - John Winkin does the
    finest coaching job in the country.  It's a real tribute to him
    that UMaine baseball is as good as it is.
    
    John

    Doubleheaders on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday.  Wow.  Must have one
    heckuva deep pitching staff!
    
    
    - ACC Chris
    

    Yes Maine, and sometimes Michigan are competitive from the north.
    
    I still say the best are from the south, and I bet a LOT of northern
    baseball talents go to school in the south because of it.
    
    OSU has been there the most, but I bet either Arizona State or Texas
    has WON the CWS the most.  ASU has won it about 20 times.
    
    Mike

    The other thing that really helps those teams from the south is the
    number of home games they have.  It seems like everyone comes to Austin
    to play Texas.

    The BIG-8 tournament usually brings great satisfaction to the OSU
    fans.  Normally, OSU wins it by playing OU in the finals and often
    comes from behind and somehow pulls it out.  Of course OU usually
    beats OSU in football and often wins it by a great play.  On the
    down side, this "Bedlam Series" competition sometimes leads to
    bench-clearing action.
    
    The BIG-8 tourney has been played in Oklahoma City's minor league
    stadium for years which obviously gives the Oklahoma teams an
    advantage but on the other hand, it makes for a more financially
    successful tourney.  The other BIG-8 teams don't have the following
    that OU and OSU have (especially OSU) and wouldn't draw the crowds
    if it was held in other states.

    A lot of northern teams go down to play southern teams because they
    have no other choice.  All northern schools I know of take a trip
    during spring break because it's not possible to get outside earlier.
    I'll also bet a lot of schools from down south end up playing in
    Austin because Texas can probably give them a little money to come
    play, but demands money to go on the road.
    
    The southern schools can spread their 60 games out from January
    or February through mid-May when the tournaments start.  The northern
    schools can't.  They'll play some games during spring break.  If
    they have an early spring break, then they come home and sit while
    waiting for the weather to change.  Then they'll play something
    like 40 games in 6 weeks.  The northern college baseball season
    is basically late March through early May.
    
    A lot of northern kids do try to go down south to play baseball.
    Most of them don't make it.  Most southern kids coming out of high
    school are further ahead of the typical northern kid, but a lot
    of the southern coaches do try to lure northern kids down in the
    hope that maybe one of them will pan out.  If they're walkons, it's
    really no cost to the southern coach.  They'll go down, play fall
    baseball and unless the northern kid can impress right away, he's
    history.  A lot of schools up here get kids who come back after
    losing the gamble of going down south and getting on scholarship.
    
    It's also been said by some major league scouts that if a northern
    kid and a southern kid are equal, draft the northern kid.  The reason
    is that because the southern kid has had so much more opportunity
    to play ball that there's less room for improvement than with the
    northern kid.  Most southern kids are further ahead though, like
    I've said before.

    Yo Cowboy,
    
    	I think it was last year or two years ago, ESPN showed a brawl
    	between OSU and OU.  This was not your typical "wrestle around
    	on the ground in a great big pile" brawl.  This was a genuine,
    	kick your face in, stomp a bloody mud hole in your chest type
    	of brawl.  EVERYBODY on both benches was in on it.  It was
    	better than any box..er..hockey game I've ever seen....:^)

John,  there's a division 1 coach that's going to get a lot of press in
the coming years --> Dick Rockwell, LeMoyne College.  They played Div 2
until last year.  They were in the Div 2 WS a few times in the late
70s and early 80s, and were anually one of the best college teams in the
Northeast (regardless of division).  MLers that graduated from LeMoyne
include Tom Browning and Tim Deshaies.

Last year was their 1st year in Div 1, and they were one single away
from the Div 1 WS.  They lost to Arkansas (I think) in the East final
by one run (the winning runs were on base), after beating the Razorbacks
in the opening round of the tourney.

They are faced with the same weather problems as Maine (being in Syracuse,
NY), and also get their 1st spring action on road trips through the south.
They get mostly NYS kids, and somehow Rockwell works wonders.

     Maine has been in the college world series 5 times in the 1980's,
     and has been ranked in the top 20 at some point in each of those years
     as well as others.

     UMO CWS appearances:
     1964 - 3rd place
     1976 - 3rd place, tie
     1981 - 7th place, tie
     1982 - 3rd place, tie
     1983 - 7th place, tie
     1984 - 7th place, tie
     1986 - 7th place, tie

    That's why the OU/OSU matchups, in any sport, are called the
    "Bedlam Series".  These schools aren't usually known for starting
    the physicial stuff but when they get together it gets crazy.
    The fans probably could be blamed for some of it, too, since
    they really get fired up, tho' I don't recall any fans ever starting
    anything themselves.
    
    Actually, I kind of like it as long as nobody gets seriously hurt.

    I wish I had grown up in Phoenix instead of Central Mass.  All sports
    have organized leagues here that run all year round.  They start them
    young too.
    
    From soccer, to any of the 4 major sports (yes hockey too), they're all
    here.

       So how many time have the Cowboy's been to Omaha's yearly roundup?
    The U of Texas Longhorns  have at least 25 trips to Rosenblatt Stadium.

    Last year OSU didn't get out of the regionals, so it must have been
    the year before that was Robin Ventura's last year and the year that
    OSU choked in the championship game.  (OSU usually depends on power
    hitting to get to the WS--not great pitching--and couldn't hit the
    ball in their loss).
    
    Oh yeah, your question....caint remember how many WS appearances but
    *can* remember the announcer making the comment that OSU had the most
    appearances but no championship--thus the biggest WS loser status.
    (Not that the Cowboys will never win it).

       Not that I doubt your source, but .31 only show 14 trips. to Omaha.
    I know for a FACK the LongHorns have made no less than 25.
    
    Cadzilla

    Although its only been 3 years since the announcer on ESPN said it
    my memory has still failed me.  He probably said that OSU had the
    most visits to the WS in the 80's.  That sounds logical since they
    were there (according to a previous note) '81 through and including
    '87.  That's not a bad showing either, although they have come home
    without the championship every time.
    
    Anyone have a tape of the '87 CWS?  8^D
    
    Not that I doubt that the Longhorns have gone 25+ times but it
    would be interesting to know how all these showings are spread
    out over the years.

    Many. 
    
    
    And fewer.
    
    (but I think UA has more...)
    
    (Nope, I don't know the answer to either question, but it is a large
    number. But then, the way I am today, anything more than three is a
    "large number".

    No way does UA have more than ASU.  Last I heard, only Texas has more
    CWS championships/appearances than ASU.
    
    BTW - ASU is on a 18 game winning streak.

    Re: -1
    
    Thanks for posting that!  Do you have the # of actual CWS
    Championships?  I like this simplified list better 
    (need at least 10 to qualify).  Notice how all but one are 
    below the Mason-Dixon line, and 2 states have 2 schools that make up
    the all-time top 8!
    
    Texas               25	
    Southern California	16	
    Arizona State       14	
    Oklahoma State      14	
    Arizona             13	
    Miami (Florida)     11	
    Florida State       10	
    Northern Colorado	10	

    Big deal Mike .... college baseball has just really coem into its
    own over the last 15-20 years, and you have to remember that the
    warm weather schools have an advantage IMO, since the college season
    starts earlier than the baseball season.
    
    DrSWC (Home of UT, Texas A&M, Ark., and a pretty solid Rice club)

    Doc, I also said the southern schools have an advantage.  That's why
    all the northern talents go south if they're serious about baseball.
    
    Re: Rice
    
    I thought that was something you eat in Asian food?!
    
    Mike

    GONG ! GONG ! GONG !
    
    
    BTW Mike, who do you think the team to beat is ? Rice ? UT ? ASU ?

    .42
    
    I wouldn't say that ALL of the talented players go to southern
    schools if they are serious about baseball.  Only about 99% of
    them.  The rest go to U. Maine or other schools.  The first pick
    in the '78 draft was Billy Almon out of Brown U, Darling went to
    Yale, Jeff Musselman went to Hahvuhd, the Giants first rounder
    a couple of years ago, Mike Remlinger went to Dartmouth, Pete
    Broberg was a Dartmouth grad.  Mo Vaugh and Kevin Morton, both
    promising yound Red Sox prospects, went to Seton Hall.  A couple
    guys (out of the ten pitchers recruited) who were on Brown's pitching
    staff a few years back got drafted....  Anyhow, some of the northern
    schools have a decent pull because if the kids want to hedge against
    injuries or not making it they can go to a prestige institution and
    be sure to at least get a 'good' education out of the deal.
    
    Jeff

    Doc, I haven't followed college ball too closely thus far.  Since
    they're local, I do know that ASU is hot right now (18 game streak).
    
    I have no idea how the midwestern teams are doing.
    
    I'll make a prediction after the seedings come out. ;-)
    
    Mike

    has anyone seen a top-25 lately?
    
    Cowboy
    

>    has anyone seen a top-25 lately?
    
    no but I saw a 10 the other day ;-)

The felony embezzlement charges against former Michigan coach Bud
Middaugh were dropped. An Ann Arbor judge ruled that the prosecution
could not prove a crime had been committed.

Michigan is on probation for violations during Middaugh's tenure.

	Would people mind posting some of the Division I standings from
	your local newspapers ?  Has been kind of hard for me this year
	to keep track of how everyone's doing in college baseball.

    Anyone catch the brawl between ASU and USC earlier this week?  Both
    teams were supposed to meet again this weekend, but the games have been
    postponed.

    UMass is at Rutgers this weekend and at Temple next weekend.  Temple
    plays URI this weekend.
    
    I have the EIBL standings at work.  I saw the Big East standings
    earlier in the week and didn't save them, but there are no divisions
    this year, it's just one league.  Haven't seen the ECAC North Atlantic
    standings yet.

     Anyone have updated EIBL standings ?
     Yesterday Brown and Army split a doubleheader, Dartmouth swept Penn,
     and Yale and Columbia split a pair, according to USA Today.

    Probably in tomorrow's Globe along with updated Atlantic 10, Big
    East and ECAC standings.
    
    Brown also swept Columbia this weekend but I don't remember any
    other EIBL results.  Rutgers took 3 out of 4 from UMass, Temple
    and URI split 4 (I think).

     I was out both Wednesday and Thursday, so haven't had a chance to ask:
     what are the Ivy League standings going into the weekend ?  Not living
     in the Boston area, I don't get to see the globe.

     By the way, conference tournaments to determine NCAA playoff spots
     are beginning this weekend, with the Southern conference tournament
     beginning yesterday.

    None of the papers ran any league standings this week.  I do know
    Harvard and Dartmouth are at Columbia and Army, Yale swept Brown
    during the week, Princeton and Cornell are probably playing Yale
    and Brown, UMass is at Temple while Rutgers is off.
    
    John

	Stetson got 10 home runs in Shreveport yesterday to win the TAAC
	playoffs with a 15-4 victory over #25 Georgia Southern.  The Hatters
	thus become the firs school to qualify for the NCAA tournament.

    Haven't seen any standings yet but UMass swept Temple this weekend
    to finish its A-10 season at 12-4.  Rutgers is 10-2 going into this
    weekend's series with Temple, which is either 6-6, 7-5 or 5-7.

    opponents, Cornell, Princeton and Harvard.

Big John --

Where's Connecticut?  Are they in the Big East in Baseball?  Do you
have standings for them?

Deen to wonk(tm),
'Saw

    The Globe didn't have the Big East standings today.  The Big East
    in baseball consists of all the teams in basketball except for
    Syracuse.  Because of the weather in Syracuse, they dropped baseball
    in Orange Country in the mid-seventies.  The Big East until this
    year consisted of 2 4-team divisions with BC, UConn, PC and St Johns
    in the North; and Pitt, Villanova, Georgetown and Seton Hall in
    the South.  It's now no divisions, each team plays 3 games with
    each other.

    I do like the number of pro games they show now.  I guess you
    can't have your cake and eat it too.

    You can catch college games on PSN if you have a satellite
    or get Denver cable.  PSN was not scrambled last time I heard.
    Since I can't get cable and don't have a dish yet I can't
    get much sports of any kind.  Wish the networks would get
    back to showing baseball.

	Lafayette swept the East Coast Conference tournament this weekend
	to qualify for their first NCAA tournament appearance since 1966.

    In the EIBL, Dartmouth split with Cornell yesterday.  They must

    next Saturday to tie Penn for the EIBL title and force a one-game
    playoff.

	Perhaps:   Teachers College of Connecticut ?

	American South Conference tournament starts today at Moore Field
	in Lafayette, Louisiana.  Top seed New Orleans meets the #4 seed
	Arkansas State, then #2 seed and host Southwestern Louisiana will
	play the #3 seed Louisiana Tech.  UNO and USL tied for the regular
	season title, but UNO won 2 of the 3 head-to-head games.

	So far, the following teams have won conference titles:

	East Coast			Lafayette Leopards
	Eastern Intercollegiate		Pennsylvania Quakers
	Pacific Ten South		Stanford Cardinal
	Southern			Citadel Bulldogs
	Southland			Texas-Arlington Mavericks
	Southwestern Athletic		Jackson State Tigers
	Trans American			Stetson Hatters

	
	For some reason, the SWAC does not have an automatic berth in
	the NCAAs this year, although they have had one the last seven
	years.  I believe the other 6 teams above have automatically
	qualified for the NCAA tournament.  Texas-Arlington will be making
	its first appearance in the Division I national tournament,
	after finishing 2nd or 3rd in its conference the last 7 years.

	Any results on the ECAC Division I tournament yesterday ?

    The date was wrong.  It actually starts next Wednesday.
    
    John

	Yesterday's ASC Tournament results :
	New Orleans 9, Arkansas State 2
	Southwestern Louisiana 11, Louisiana Tech 2


	The ACC tournament starts tomorrow morning at Municipal Stadium
	in Greenville, South Carolina.
	#1 North Carolina vs #8 Maryland
	#2 Clemson vs #7 Duke
	#3 North Carolina State vs #6 Virginia
	#4 Wake Forest vs #5 Georgia Tech

	Georgia Tech was, at one point, #1 in the country with a 23-1
	record, but have compiled only a 20-19 record since then, and last
	week fell out of the national rankings.  Two-and-a-half weeks ago
	they were 6-3 in the ACC, hosting the top-seeded Tar Heels, who
	had a 13-2 conference mark.  They won the first two games of the
	series, and had a 10-5 lead through 8 innings of the series finale,
	but ending up losing the game.  They closed the ACC by losing 6 of 7
	conference games, including being swept by Wake Forest last weekend.
	They may have the most overall talent, and deepest pitching staff,
	in the conference, but they just haven't played up to pre-season
	expectations in the second half of the year.

	On the other hand, UNC has turned last year's College World Series
	appearance into a springboard for this year.  They have a great
	reliever in Brad Woodall, whose loss to Tech in game 2 of that series
	was his first collegiate loss in three years of pitching.  They have
	played very consistently all year long, including sweeps of Clemson
	and N.C.State (the #2 and #3 seeds in the tournament), and have to
	be considered a slight favorite over the "home" team from Clemson in
	this year's ACC tournament, which will conclude either next Tuesday
	or Wednesday.

	By the way, when do the Atlantic Ten Conference playoffs begin ?

    The Atlantic 10 playoffs are supposed to begin today with UMass
    playing George Washington and Rutgers playing West Virginia.  The
    Big East tournament begins Tuesday in Bristol, Ct but I have no
    idea of who qualified.

    Mr Mike

	It's not being played this weekend, as was mentioned earlier.
	Having thought about it, I believe that Maine is hosting
	Miami (Florida) in a 4-game weekend series, split between Orono
	and The Ballpark at Old Orchard Beach.

    Don't belive Maine has much of a chance in this.
    
    Mr Mike
    
    

    Maine has a good chance in its ECAC playoff games, but will be lucky
    to split against Miami.
    
    John

    I see the series as a 3 game win for miami and maybe one win for maine
    if they are lucky. Otherwise a sweep for the boys from miami.
    
    
    Mr Mike 

>    Maine has a good chance in its ECAC playoff games, but will be lucky
>    to split against Miami.
    
     I don't agree.  While Maine has had a lot of trouble winning games
     in Coral Gables, they have a winning record against Miami in Orono.
     Just a couple years ago, Maine won 3 of 4 games against a Miami club
     ranked in the top five at the time, and the year before swept both
     games in Orono (one game was rained out).  I think Maine could easily gain
     a split.  Miami just hasn't been the same team on the road as they
     have at home, and they traditionally play 45-50 games a year at home, so
     they don't often have to face up to the "disadvantages" of a grass field,
     no big crown rooting for you (Miami, Texas, and Mississippi State are
     the biggest drawing schools year-in, year-out), etc.

    Weather will be a big factor too, because it's still not real warm
    up there yet.
    
    John

    Re Note 195.91
    I Dont agree at all. A couple of years ago is just that a couple of
    years ago , old history at best. A team as good as miami doesnt need
    big crowds routing for them and will not be a factor in the final
    outcome of the encounter. Without question it will be very difficult
    for maine to gain a split. I see them winning one game at most, and
    maybe none. 
    
    
    Mr Mike

Gee, gentlemen, it sounds almost like a personal-name-string bet
might be in order here 8^)

	OVC Tournament opens in Murfreesboro TN on Sunday:

	Oh, by the way, there's a nice article about the University of Maine
	baseball program in today's U.S.A. Today.

    I haven't heard how the Atlantic 10 playoffs came out, nor I have
    I heard many scores from the Miami at Maine series.  Maine won the
    first game 4-1.  UMass did win its first game of the Atlantic 10
    playoffs 13-0 over George Washington on Friday, but no news since.
    
    The Big East tournament begins Tuesday at Bristol, Ct with Seton
    Hall playing UConn and St Johns playing Villanova.
    
    John

    Heard a little more about the A-10 playoffs.  Don't know all the
    information, but in the first round UMass beat GW and West Virginia
    beat Rutgers.  In the second round, Rutgers eliminated GW and West
    Virginia beat UMass.  Rutgers then eliminated UMass.  So, going
    into yesterday, if my information was correct, West Virginia with
    no losses was ready to play Rutgers with 1 loss.
    
    John

	LSU swept a three game series this weekend from #6 Georgia to
	win the SEC regular season title.  The SEC tournament wiil be
	played this coming weekend in Birmingham.
	#1 Louisiana State vs #6 Florida
	#2 Georgia vs #5 Vanderbilt
	#3 Mississippi State vs #4 Auburn

	USL needed 1 win in 2 games against UNO on Saturday to win the
	American South conference tournament, but I have yet to see the
	scores of those games.

	UNC remains unbeaten in the ACC tournament in Greenville, S.C.,
	after beating up on Georgia Tech yesterday, 9-4.  The critical
	game of the tournament (other than the championship game) may
	be today's Tech-N.C.State game, as both teams are "on the bubble"
	for an NCAA tournament berth.

    ::ROLLINGS_R,

    Mike, Stanford was also announced as one of the teams hosting a
    regional.  It will be strange that both teams get to host one, although
    it does seem the right thing.
         
    Have 2 teams from the same conference ever hosted a regional before?
    
    Bruce

	Two years ago Stanford and ASU both hosted regionals.  Last year
	Texas and Texas A&M hosted regionals.

	Which were the other six host sites ?

    Well, we're fast approaching the CWS.  Every year about this
    time I remember the year our Legion A team got to attend this
    event.  It was in 1978 and USC and ASU were in the finals.  ASU
    had Bob Horner, Hubie Brooks, and Chris Bando.  I can't recall
    any of the other players making it to the bigs.  I believe
    Horner went up right after the finals that year to the Braves.
    Even with all their stars, ASU got whooped pretty bad (if I
    remember correctly  ;^)  ) by USC.  We got to sit right by
    the ASU cheerleaders!  Bad move to put a bunch of 17 year old
    boys next to them.
    
    Wasn't there some sort of movement to have the site of the CWS
    changed?  I hope it failed.  The stadium is fairly old but real
    cozy and comfortable.  It's just one of those places that has
    a lot of charisma.  Go to the CWS if you get a chance.  I can't
    comment on the night life in Omaha cuz we were only 17, but we
    had a great time watching the games.

     The top four Big Eight teams are invited to the conference tournament.
     Oklahoma was swept in four straight by Kansas State to open the conference
     season, and ended up in last place (I believe).  These are opening round
     games of a double-elimination tournament.

	Mississippi State won the first game of yesterday's SEC championship
	round against LSU.  The Tigers led 6-0 when rain ended the nightcap
	in the 4th inning.  LSU and MSU, each with one tournament loss, were
	declared co-champins of the SEC.  As each had already been named to
	the NCAA tournament as regional hosts, the SEC didn't see a need to
	finish the conference tournament.

    Texas wins the SWC tournament by holding off the Cougars.  The
    Longhorns got off to an early lead but then let Houston back into the
    game with walks and errors.  Dressendorfer then shut the door with 2
    impressive innings.  He appeared twice in the tournament as a reliever
    and looked good and felt good both times.  They are still going to play
    it by ear for the college WS, however and just may keep him as a
    reliever in order to limit his innings pitched.  For those who don't
    know, Dressendorfer missed the end of the regular season with an injury
    to his pitching shoulder.  No surgery was required and he seems to be
    recovering nicely.
    
    The Razorbacks, after winning the SWC in the regular season and being
    named 3rd in some college polls took a pounding from both Houston and
    Texas in the tournament.

     As it turns out, they probably had to in order to make the tournament.
     A poor performance against Miami, followed up by the disaster in the
     ECAC finals against Fordham would possibly have knocked them out of the
     NCAAs.  However, winning 3-out-of-4 against then #2 ranked Miami probably
     got them in.

    The conference with the most teams is the Pac-10 with 5.  The ACC
    has 4, the SEC and SWC 3 each, the Big Ten, WAC and *ECAC* 2 each
    and the Atlantic-10, Big East, Ivy and the mighty Big 8 all have
    1 each.

       If they do it will the first time Ua won at the CWS. Ua has to beat
    Wichita St. in Wichita first. I'll be glad to see them meet at
    Rosenblatt. SWC needs the support of both them and UH for an all SWC
    final.

    The Horn your looking for is not out in plain sight, just ask some

    An all SWC final would be great.  I have to admit, I root for
    the Horns when UA makes their usual exit.  I like to see the
    SWC do well.  Maybe this is cuz I used to live in Austin?
    
    Let's compromise.....Hook 'em Hogs and SOOOOEEEEE Horns!  Nah....

They won the Big East conference on a pickoff play...sweet!

    The SWC just missed out on having another team in the NCAA's.  Texas
    A&M finished the season with a 43-15 record.  Normally 43 wins is
    enough to get you in the tourney.  Apparently not this year.  This is
    also the first time that A&M hasn't made the tourney since 1985.
    
    Cadzilla, I thought the UT/UA score was 11-1.  Houston hammered the
    Hogs in the SWC Tournament as well.

    
    	Mac
    
    11-1 sounds even better. I had an oppurtunity to see part of the UH/ua
    game here on PSN on Sat. The Houston hurler had the hogletts chasing
    everything he threw. 
    
    I agree, the a&m Maggies (tm) should have been invited to a regional having
    been in the top 25 most of the year. 
    
    Cadzilla  

	Aggies weren't even good enough to make the SWC tournament,
	having ended up 5th behind Rice.  A&M started out playing well,
	but faded in the second half of the season.

	Of course, so did Georgia Tech.  They shouldn't be in there
	either (I'd have picked New Mexico State).

    
    Stanford has drawn some team that was something like 14-29 this
    season in the 1st round.  The team from some small southern school
    lost 15 in a row at one point, but somehow won its leagues playoff.

    According to the Colegiate baseball Top 25, the West II Regional is
    by far the toughest draw, with five teams in the Top 25 (Arizona State
    #2; Oklahoma State #9; Loyola Marymount #14; Washington State #19; UC
    Santa Barbara #23), and all five have at least 40 wins.
    
    Miami has by far the easiest draw in the Atlantic regional, as they
    are the only Top 25 team in that regional.  Stanford in the West 1
    Regional also has a fairly tough draw (after 15-31 Campbell).  Three
    other Top 25 teams are in their region.  The only other region with
    four Top 25 teams is the Northeast, with North Carolina (#12), Georgia
    (#15), Iowa (#17), and Maine (#22).

    Looks like OSU won convincingly over ASU in both games too!  Pretty
    good when you can do that to the nation's #2 team in their backyard!
    
    Mike

    I hope that if Oklahoma State wins the CWS we don't end up reading
    about it in more than one or two notes in this conference please,
    Cowboy.  It was really annoying when they won the wrestling title.
    This one and the Big-8 note would be fine.
    
    John

    re:-1 
    But if they win the baseball and golf titles that would
    be three (3) championships this year!  I don't think
    I could control myself!!!!!!!!!  Besides, noters should
    be informed of the news from the Greatest Sports College
    of the Modern Era.  When Greatness is achieved by the
    Great then the Gospel should be spread like the wake of
    a sperm whale, bro.  NO SOUL should be exempt from the
    GOOD NEWS of Great achievement of the elete athlete.  
    Hold your head up so that you can witness the Gospel
    and the cheer shared by Oklahoma State athletic supporters
    throughout the land.  Remember, live in fear of Pistol
    Pete and his followers.

	Citadel defeated Miami this afternoon to take the eighth
	CWS berth.  Only two of the eight teams that were the top
	seeds won their respective regionals (Stanford and LSU).
	Two fifth-seeded teams, Citadel and Georgia Southern, won
	regionals, as did #2 seeds Oklahoma State, Georgia, and
	Mississippi State, and #3 seed Cal State-Fullerton.

    Re: -2
    
    OSU and ASU have the makings of a great rivalry.  They've been beating
    on each other the last few years for championships in various sports.
    Seems like they're always up there in wrestling, baseball, golf.  
    
    Mike

    So, the SEC has 3 teams in the world series.  Not bad for a football
    conference...

Just kind of busy Hawkster...

Yes, I'm impressed.

Eastern Connecticut State University picked up both the Womens Softball
title, and the Men's Division III title.  

Needless to say, the town of Willimantic, where the college is located,
has been going nuts the past two weeks.  It's normally a quiet little
town, about 15 minutes east of where I live, but now, people are
really up.  

I guess another sign is going to be going up on I-84...


I also wanted to comment about UCONN's showing in the tournament.  While
they did not do very well, and there is no such thing as a_excellent
loss, I liked the coach's attitude after their elimination.

He said that no one on the squad had been to that level before, so they
didn't have any experience with it.  He also said that now that they've
been, he'll be looking to his returning players to pass that experience
on to the incoming freshmen.  It will give them all incentive to try
and return, doing better the next time.


Without a doubt, the folks in Connecticut are quite proud of all the
Husky efforts this year....

    This "rivalry" also includes football.  A few years back an unranked
    OSU team went to ASU for a season opener.  ASU was ranked near the
    top in preseason polls but got badly.  Seems like 42-10 or something.
    That may have been Thurman Thomas' senior year.
    
    Your right about these two schools having the makings of a good
    rivalry.  They both have similar strengths in the same sports and
    have been running in to each other alot lately.

    Johnny Keane?
    
    NAZZ

    re:-1
    
    What's that got to do with Oklahoma State winning their 1st baseball
    title???

    Johnny Keane was Yankees manager in 1965 and part of 1966, way before
    the Yankee Stadium renovation, which took place in 1974 and 1975.
    Ralph Houk stepped down after George's first year in charge, 1973.
    Bill Virdon was manager in 1974 and most of 1975, before being fired
    and replaced by Billy Martin, who lasted on this tour until 1978.
    So Bill Virdon is the answer to the question.

    Yo Jeff,
    
    	It is not a true double elimination.  The winner of the
    	loser's bracket only has to beat the winner of the winner's
    	bracket once.  I think Texas lost in the champeenship game
    	a couple of years ago.  It was their only loss of the CWS.
    	I don't like this setup FWIW........
    
    Claybone

    
    re Clay
    
      Texas lost last year to W.State. It was UT's only lose. The new
    format must have been set-up for the major networks. ESPN broadcast
    all of the games except the final. Then CBS and Moosebooger came on
    to give us the other side of the game!! What a crock, they took a format
    that had worked  since 1948 and changed it for the good of the
    networks and not the Athletes or the Fans.

    Do any of you technoweenies out there know how we can insert
    dots into the previous note and have races to the finals?
    
    Looks like three or four competitors can race through the maze.
    
    Should be fun!

    Aw, I didn't remember the scores, just that there were two
    blowouts.
    
    NAZZ

.184 is the clearcut favorite for the 1990 Sports Analysis Note Of the
Year or the famed SANOY (tm).

TTom

	Mississippi State scored 11 in top of first, beat GSC 15-1.

	Georgia, trailing 2-0 after 5, scored 11 in top of 6th, beat
	top-rated Stanford 16-2.

	Georgia Southern was robbed in their opener.  Trailing 3-2 in
	the top of the sixth, Eagles' catcher Rob Fitzpatrick hit a ball
	over the fence for what should have been a two-run homer.  However,
	the ball hit the scoreboard (which is a home run) and bounced back
	into play.  The umpires said they "lost the ball" in the white
	background of the scoreboard, and called it in play.  GSC doesn't
	score in the inning, and ends up losing in extra innings.  Tough
	loss for starter Joey Hamilton (18-4), who won both games on the
	last day of the regional tournament against UCLA and South Alabama
	(for which he was named regional MVP-he also started the 13-inning,
	4-2 victory over Wichita State in the Midwest Regional opener).

    Can anyone tell me anything about Mike Mussina, the Stanford pitcher
    who the Orioles drafted in the first round yesterday?

    RE: the CWS "modified double elimination" bracket system
    
    Anyone know what the reasoning is behind this system?
    
    If Stanford beats Georgia which means they play each other
    again.  So, to get to the championship game Georgia would
    have to play Stanford 3 TIMES and 1 other team ONCE.
    
    Same goes for Oklahoma State.  They could play LSU 3 TIMES
    and 1 other team ONCE.
    
    Why is the bracket system set up this way?  Why not set it
    up where a team never plays the same team twice--unless its
    down to the championship game?

	This was the only way they could determine to have a nationally
	televised championship game for network TV, while still retaining
	a double-elimination format.

    Yesterday:
    
    Stanford gave Georgia their first loss, 4-2, to force another
    semi-final matchup Friday.  The loser goes home and the winner
    plays in the Championship.

    Since I vacationed in Oklahoma last week and was able to pick up
    the local sports every day I could find out some background on
    OSU's baseball team.
    
    * lost 8 of their first 13 games
    
    * lost their top 3 starting pitchers early in the season, none would
    	start another game this season
    
    * unbeaten in 7 post-season games and batted .369, averaging
    	nearly 12 runs and more than 14 hits a game and totalling
    	an 83-24 run margin
    
    * during the CWS OSU won their games 14-0, 17-9, 14-4, 14-3
    
    * CWS Final game: victims of 10 strikeouts and 3 double plays,
    	only 5 hits and 1 run.  Even with only 5 hits in the final
    	game OSU still set a new CWS batting average of .349
    
    
    Sour Grapes:
    
    1)	Georgia's phantom double play that killed an OSU rally 
    in the 8th.  (It was questionable if Bulldogs 2nd baseman
    Alfonso had touched 2nd base for the 1st out; there was no
    question Daniel beat the throw to 1st base for the second.)
    
    2)	OSU still should be playing. (How could a team with one
    loss be eliminated from a so-called double-elimination
    tournament?

    HA HA.  I'm sure that most of you out there think that Oklahoma
    is paradise in the summer but it's not the time to go.  It was
    mid-nineties with humidity probably also in the nineties.  The
    fact is that after living in Colorado for 2 1/2 years I cain't
    handle the heat down there.  We drove around alot with the A/C
    on--a good 1000 miles after we arrived, just to stay cool--that's
    a 1000 miles--NO LIE.  Gramma doesn't need A/C in her house for
    some reason.  She *did* tell a good story about the local drivers
    in Ringling, tho'.  "I had to do 75 just to git 'round that
    slo' poke!!"  Better stay outta her way!
