I don’t understand why anyone acts like he was some 5 star WR. He wasn’t great (good yes) out of high school and competed well in a relatively easy conference before coming here

At the bottom of the article it lists their best remaining for day 2.

Yes. That’s the difference

I’m with Project. I still haven’t seen any argument saying why they aren’t legit.

It’s a silly discussion. Yes they are for the time period they were in. To debate that would be to debate ours.

Wasn’t Fullerton led by Augie for a while?? I think he won 3 CWS with them

Ridiculous. USC is still good in baseball. It’s just ridiculously more competitive now. Thus my comment about how amazing it is that we won it this year. Think about what happened. We won the majority of games against the best rated competition in the country throughout the year.

Exactly. Thank you. I agree. “Oh. It was 1943. The World Series win doesn’t matter because it was 1943.”

These people bro

I agree. You can “but” all you want but the NCAA recognizes it so it’s legitimate.

I’m LSU through and through but if we try to discount the NCAA recognition then well we’re saying what we’ve done as a university has no meaning.

They have 12 according to the NCAA rules of the time. We have 7. They win.

Now- the real debate is competition. 2009 and 2023? Nothing USC did can compare given the current competitiveness of college baseball. I’d even argue that what this years team did was beyond any that Skip’s teams did in the 90’s simply because of how even the field is now.

Agree. It’s a dumb discussion. They won. Period. According to the rules of the time.

We also won some with the 1 game format. Are those not valid now?

If the CWS goes to a best of 5 does that diminish our accomplishments? No

They have 12 or whatever. They have more.

We are probably last in the SEC at double plays turned but yes it does help
