Is 1 CWS in 11 years considered great?

To be considered amongst the best programs in the nation? Corbin is a good coach, but they really struggle in the NCAA postseason. Delmonico managed to go to 3 CWS in 16 years at Tennessee.

What's more silly?
Flaming Vandy, or expecting to find Vandy fans on the SECr?

Well they sure as hell can't flame their football team.

I keep hearing about how great Corbin is. They flop every year in the postseason. 1 CWS appearance for a program that thinks they invented baseball? Giggles all around for me.

I hate to say it, because I have nothing against Vandy, but their postseason failures have become embarassing at this point.
That said, this particular year, Louisville is no slouch. Louisville is a strong team with lots of arms.

They are approaching FSU, Mike Martin like futility with 20 less CWS appearances.

No. Not with the talent they have had.

What else were you expecting from a Jack Leggett protege?

Vandy is a top 10 team easily this year. I wouldn't consider them great though.
I guess i'd put it like this. If you consistently make it to the regionals, and host a few. Add in a trip to Omaha every 10 years, you can be called top 25.
Being top 25 =/= great... Just good.

They had the best record in SEC history this year.

I see your point when you look at a 10 year history, but I would think even a top 25 program over a 10 year period would be considered great, when we know there are 298 Div I NCAA teams. That would put them somewhere in the top 8 percentile of programs.
If we look at what Vandy did this year, they beat the Cocks record for most SEC wins, and that's pretty phenomenal. For some reason, they just don't play great in the post season, but they are consistently a 40+ win team.

That means nothing. Baseball, like basketball, is 100% what you do in the tournament. If you win 50 games and flame out before the CWS you aren't an elite program...you are a good program. IMO the only elite programs in the SEC are LSU and USC. There are bunch of good programs that put together great years here and there in the sec. Vandy is one of those.
