What you said was , " means Pac12 had a good team get hot, Not a great conference." You attribute the success of the most accomplished baseball conference to teams getting hot, and that it isn't a great conference. You are wrong. global moderator- can you help me get my money back from Ikea? |

Orange colored, west coast style, glasses on.
Pac 12 is the best conference at baseball because the beavers are in it. Anyone that has faced us has left bruised by the door on the way out!
go beavers

What you said was , " means Pac12 had a good team get hot, Not a great conference." You attribute the success of the most accomplished baseball conference to teams getting hot, and that it isn't a great conference. You are wrong. Not actually... what I said was a good team doesn't mean the conference is good. So, who won last year's title? Was their conference good? Pretty simple. Teams win championships not their conference. The conferences claim the members successes. Being in a great conference doesn't assure successes. The so called "conference of champions" hasn't won a football title since? Hoops? Zona was not that great of team early last season. The Pac12 wasn't the best conference. But, Zona the team got hot at the right time and made a run. By the way... the last 10 years of Pac 12 goodness of runners up/ champs has been 3 teams... the other 8 haven't sniffed that level. The 10 years before that it was 3 different teams and no others were close. In that same last 10 years the ACC has had 6 teams in the runners up/champ mode with 2 champs... SEC 8 teams and 3 champs/9 champs in last 25 years or so. The "bias" seems to have some validity. |

No, what you said was what you said. Next time, explain yourself better, like you did later in the thread.
I don't disagree with much of what you're saying. The way you deliver it needs work.

Baseballll: You are right. I have predicted a NC. And I stand by that prediction. I have NEVER pretended to know everything there is to know about college baseball. But, I have lived and breathed it for the past eleven seasons. I have learned a lot about what it takes to win in the regular season, and what it takes in the post season.
Unlike some people, I choose to look at the positive in my team. I do not waste time worrying about what might happen. Especially this year, when they have done an incredible job, week after week, of staying at the top of the heap. I do not believe in luck. Teams win because of their skill, because the are mentally tough, because they are prepared, because they are opportunistic, and because they have a fire that burns from within. The 2017 Beavs are all those things.
I have hitched my wagon to this column. They raise a mighty trail of dust behind them, that all others eat and will continue to eat. Omaha is calling to Beaver Nation. They love us there. We will take no prisoners, no truce. We have waged a three month long war, and have vanquished all of those that have dared to take us on. Woe be to those that await. We will not be denied. It is our time. GO BEAVS!

Here's a stat for you: The Pac-12 conference win-loss record that we broke today was set by the CWS winner that year. Coincidence? I think not.

But, your usage of "prisoners", "war", "vanquish" in depicting a athletic season is both naive and insensitive. It's a baseball season, not a battle, not some romantic story. Second, I've lived baseball and athletics for 40+ years. Luck and the wherewithal to take advantage of it when it presents itself has prevalence in every successful athletic season. You may or may not believe in it, but it doesn't mean it is not true. |

You may or may not believe in it, but it doesn't mean it is not true. When I was much younger and played sports regularly, I always viewed the playing field as a field of battle. I wanted to destroy whoever I played. I hated to lose, and I still hate to lose. Sometimes luck did give you an opportunity to win. The prepared and skilled would seize it. All others would fail. Maybe I have too much Testosterone in my blood, but I make no apologies for the warrior analogy. I believe it is valid. This is why many sports teams have warrior-like names and symbols. Winner take all. Nobody remembers the losers. |

to quote my middle school football coach
"The more you sweat in peace the less you bleed in war"
every game is a battle and every win is a win and the season easily constitutes a war.

And the idiots who equate athletics to war have never been in war! Or,if so shouldn't be coaching kids of that's their belief! |

Ok, this thread has degraded into a waste of my time. I will not debate the usage of terms that might offend someone. And I refuse to be PC. Either grow a thicker hide, or do not read my posts. |
