Why? You think they'd qualify? Ever? It does suck to not have baseball, but to think ISU would be there is foolish.

Couple of thoughts here:
1) We had a pretty decent program, last I remember.
2) It's the Big 12 tournament. I've got to think that we make that one.

To borrow a term from Roger clemens, you are "mis-remembering." And it's not a given to make the tourney like in basketball. I am not against ISU having baseball or down on the former program. In fact, just the opposite. I am however a realist. And yes, I was one of the 10 or so people that actually attended games when I was in school. The simple fact is this. College is to prepare people for their professional life. The fact that they took away a sport that offered athletes a chance to prepare for a profession and keep around some nonesense is amazing to me. Not to mention baseball is America's past-time. However, my initial post has merit.

Only 8 teams make it to the Big 12 tourney (Nebraska and OSU didn't make the cut this year)

Who cares? I want ISU to have baseball, success may or may not come.

Give me a break.

Heading out to cheer on the Tigers and Sooners in Session 2 today. It should be a nice day to sit in the bleachers and watch some baseball.

On a side note, OSU is rumored to be filing a complaint with the NCAA regarding the fact that they were not able to play the final game against Baylor...They're hoping to be given special consideration in the selection of regional teams...

OSU was always my least favorite team to play and this is an example of why.

ISU qualified 6th in the final year, and had one of the best recruiting classes in the country coming in, not to mention a solid returning cast... In contrast, K-State was BY FAR the worst program in the conference, for years... Now they are a top 10 team...
