re: How many times has your team been in the CWS finals?

It's really incredible how only a couple of games can impact a legacy or perception. As mentioned by an earlier post, 3 of our 4 finals losses was under the 1 game finals format. 2-3 more wins in the more than 2,500 our program has we'd be considered as one of the top 4-6 programs of all time rather than the top 8-11ish.

Yep.

In football, if not for:

2002: Arkansas goes 81 yards in 31 seconds, including a 50-yard bomb and a 26-yard TD pass by a QB who was 2-for-13 before that drive to pull out a 21-20 win, the Miracle on Markham

2004: Auburn gets a 4th-and-long conversion and then gets two tries at the extra point in the final drive to win 10-9

2006: Auburn takes advantage of several very controversial calls by the officials in a 7-3 win

LSU wins the SEC West seven years in a row, from 2001 through 2007.
