simply b/c its a crapshoot and the odds are against you. You can build a great team, the team you've always wanted and never sniff Omaha. See MSU 89 and
Ole Miss 05.
The current format makes it even harder. You need to be pretty hot for a month straight. |

for the same reasons 8dog stated. I would think we have a good shot, but I cant buy it.

and thus the reason for the 10 year spread. I think we will have a couple of teams that could win it in that time span but don't. Over a 10 year period,
I think we get one though.

If we don't win one in 10 years, I'll never post here again.

That is catching lightning in a bottle. See 1985. |

Coaching wins out when the field is fairly even. Polk had several CWS attempts with the best team and couldn't get it done because he refuses to play
certain parts of the game (bunting, changing pitchers before the damage is done, swinging at the 3-1 underhanded pitch, etc.).

Ill wager you don't even make the CWS in the next 10 years. Cohen is a good coach, but what has he done?

the guy has hosted a regional at possibly the worst program of any of the 3 big sports in the SEC. He's taken them to 2 regionals in 5 years when they had
previously been to 4 in school history.
We haven't even been trying the last 7 years and we got to Omaha. Im baffled by people who aren't impressed with Cohen. It shows a lack of knowledge about college baseball. |

Better coach than Polk, who got us there how many times in his last 10 years of coaching us? If Cohen can recruit more pitching depth than Polk did, this could
be done. We already know he'll have us hitting better than Polk did.

as the question was first posed. A whole lot of really good programs have failed to win a nat'l title in the last ten years to include ASU and FSU to name just two. This premise is absurd. |

So it's absurd to talk about the possibility of us winning a NC in the next 10 years? | #19 | ||

Oregon friggin State won back to back titles for goodness sake. It is conceivable for State to win a title and is therefore a totally legitimate topic to
discuss. Now, I personally am not going to bet on it happening. But, by the same token, I'm not going to blast people for believing we could win a title,
or even just discussing the possibility. A team gets hot at the right time and they can blow through to the title. We've seen it happen before. State was a
freak injury away from the championship game in 1985.

State was a freak injury away from the championship game in 1985.And you didn't win and the college baseball landscape has changed a lot since then. There are just too many good college baseball programs around today to reasonably think it is a 51% probability (which is what a buy sell is after all) that state wins a title in 10 years but you are free to dream. |
