Jim, as a Duke alum I can tell you that I had been rooting very hard for your school the past two days.

The funny thing is that I usually complain about OSU (funding, administrative decesions, etc.). But the baseball team is one aspect I really enjoy.

A CWS championship and beating USC in football (didn't that happen?) equates to a really good sports year.

Hey JimB,

I was cheering for the Beavers ferociously the last 2 days...and they pulled it off!!
Congrats, a rare feat nowadays!

The irony is the natural enemy of the baseball bat in the beaver. Just as the natural enemy of the volley ball is the porcupine, and the natural enemy of the hockey rink is the broken thermostat.

One of these day the University of Oregon Ducks will wake up and add college baseball. They are the only team in the PAC 10 that doesn't play baseball. Kinda like Wisconsin which is the only team in the Big 10 that doesn't field a team.

Kinda like Illinois, which a few years ago decided to stop fielding a football team.

Oregon State gets much credit, as it's no doubt a difficult thing to win consecutive championships in the NCAA. Both the basketball and baseball formats are difficult to overcome.

Do you know why it's so hard to win two consecutive NCAA baseball championships? Because it's so hard to win one NCAA baseball championship. (Also applies to Superbowls, World Series, etc.)

you're right,Jeff!
I did a PhD there in the late 70s and early 80s.
When were you there?
The ole Emory eagles were pretty good at soccer and that was about it,
if i remember correctly.
thanks for the memories!

best,
barry

A repeat in baseball is particularly tough since they lose players to the pros at a much higher rate than football. Basketball is becoming more like baseball in this respect. If someone is still around in their senior year, it is highly unlikely they are going to the pros.

Barry, I graduated in 1987. Fun place, lots of drinking, not much studying. Very pleasant few years I must say.

Quick, alert Leon. This Oregon State thread has been hijacked by a bunch of Emory graduates.
