They're up there with FSU, Miss St, and Georgia Tech as those teams that are so consistently in the discussion as being a top program that it's hard to believe they've never won a national title


Nobody has shite on FSU. 21 Omaha appearances and 0 titles. Clemson is 2nd with 12. Florida and MSU at 9, Arkansas at 8.

Florida probably with 10 now, doubt it was updated.

Yeah, I don't think we're in much of a position to call Florida underachieving... Won a grand total of 1 game in Omaha with Aaron Nola and Alex Bregman

We didn't have the bats this year. And it seems like every team in Omaha has got some nasty pitching. I didn't expect to win it, but was hoping for a win or two.

Another disappointment but we kept the clown college from going there and the filthy animals from Corral Gables booked their flight home before us. And we were the only SEC team to make it to Omaha so there's that. Still sucks. I thought this was gonna finally be the year.

Watched Florida take BP in Hoover. Sully was standing there watching. Not one player was saying a word. Usually there's some joking and grab-assing going on around the cage. They acted like they were scared shitless to say anything.

I don't think they can play loose.

Well, they made it farther than us. Actually they made it to where all the prognosticators said they would - Omaha.

And how many SEC teams have actually won the whole thing?
Four ??
Florida has really only been a serious consistent NC contender for maybe the last 10-15 years.

They're not Florida State, by a long shot...

they lost the game yesterday when their CF did not make the play
lost it today when the TT CF made the play

sully has a team that did not hit , he has the same arse"t for 9 years
when his pitchers get into trouble - he pulls them - never lets them battle thru it
he gets the players - but you see no hit & run, stealing!

The football, basketball and baseball teams all had great defense but no offense this year. That's crazy

Presumably, right around the time to win the CWS they realize that football season is just around the corner and they stop caring.


you have absolutely zero knowledge of baseball players. they give no shits about football. hence, they play baseball. you bama frickers think football is the only thing. guess what, it's not.

But for Bama, the conference has totally underachieved in primetime sports. You are welcome.

As a fan of a team that has used five straight national seeds to win one loser's bracket game in Omaha, I wouldnt be speculating

Because like most every other athletic department in the country, they don't care.

Maybe we should be like Clemson and only be happy to make it .

Maybe we should brag about coming in 2nd place like Clemson does.

Every baseball game is pretty much a toss up.
