Other College Baseball 2023

Oklahoma is the Alabama of women's softball?

Maybe, but I think the portal will make it hard for them and Georgia football to maintain dominance. It is already doing that to bama football and UConn women hoops. Kids don't want to wait their turn and develop.

With you on DVH, it will be a team we don't except that does it but we gotta have some pitching depth and bring back bunting, safety squeeze, and moving runners over - old school DVH offense

Agreed. If DVH wins one, it'll be one we didn't see coming.

The two teams that he got the closest with were one that didn't win an SEC road series all year (2018) and a team that seemingly fell apart down the stretch and ended up not hosting (2022). The Ole Miss-Arkansas elimination game was the de facto CWS final.

That said, I've resigned myself to the fact that if we win the CWS it'll be a random one after DVH is gone, either with his successor or a few coaches later, similar to how MSU went to Omaha a bunch under Ron Polk and ended up finally winning one with Lemonis.

I've said this before, but college baseball is the weirdest, most random sport in terms of its postseason. It's one where Mike Martin, Ron Polk, and DVH can have 35 combined trips to Omaha and zero rings between them, while Mike Bianco and Chris Lemonis each have a ring.
