Stanford eliminated with a late comeback by Auburn. Top two favorites gone early. Crazy Man, I honestly didn't think Auburn would beat Stanford....but I'm glad they did!! I knew Oklahoma was hot coming in and going to be tough but didn't think we'd see Ole Miss at 2-0. Clearly both now front runners to be in the finals. Gonna be damn tough for anybody to beat them twice in a row.

Texas parted ways with their pitching coach who is also one of the lead recruiters. Some of the chatter on Longhorn message boards want Pierce to pursue a former great who pitched for Texas …. Not named Roger, but has Coastal Bend connections.

Not named Roger, but has Coastal Bend connections. Do you think this was the right move? I know there were some seriously high expectations for this year's UT pitching staff and they fell short. Was a really BAD year to have this happen with an offense like they'd put together.

Was a really BAD year to have this happen with an offense like they'd put together. I've read some commentary both pro and con and it seems to me in most of it, there was some agreement that something was off with the depth and game situations where pitch selection was putting pitchers in the hole early in games which ended up costing Texas games they should have won which was the difference in them having to road trip for a Super Regional and getting a higher national seed. You actually had a few pitchers who took steps back from last year's production as well. Flip side he was good recruiter. I don't know? It could be also a chemistry issue where the formula went wrong and instead of letting it stew for another year, it was time to cut bait. This is what gets most HC in trouble in any sport and before they know it, the Boosters and fan base make their voices heard and it often doesn't end well.

When you are the HC of UT baseball, getting to the CWS is NOT ENOUGH that is for damn sure. Auggie set the bar DAMN HIGH

You enter the Disch and you get reminded of how many times they've made it to Omaha right away.

I know Texas and a few others had impressive numbers. With the exception of LSU, South Carolina, and Florida, I'm kind of surprised the numbers are lower from many of the SEC schools. Of course Arkansas also earned some of those trips when they were in the SWC which was a pretty darn good baseball conference itself back in the day.

Prior to 1990 the SEC was pretty much non-existent as a powerful baseball conference. LSU then and some great runs through the 90s but it is just the last 10 years or so where the SEC has asserted some real dominance in college baseball. Since 2009 the SEC has claimed 7 of the the 12 titles. In that same time they've had 14 teams in the championship series. In the last 10 CWS, 12 of the 20 teams in the finals were SEC teams. So, add in UT & blOwU in the near future and it is really going to be lopsided towards the SEC vs all other conferences.

Which means if the NCAA sees that this is a possibility, look for them to tweak it enough to where some teams who should be national seeds end up not being seeded and having to travel for regionals and /or supers to UConn or some non traditional baseball conferences. Or the mid majors like ECU more often.

Exactly Hell, if UT & blOwU were already in teh SEC just look: Texas A&M - SEC Oklahoma - SEC real soon Texas - SEC real soon Notre Dame - Who Cares Stanford - Who Cares Arkansas - SEC Auburn - SEC Ole Miss - SEC And if Tennessee hadn't have choked in the Regionals, wow! Could have been 7 of 8 teams SEC/Future SEC team. Crazy!

Dbu and Gonzaga had shot to host regionals but fell apart late.

Arizona State: 22
Southern California: 21
Oklahoma State: 20
Those three programs have not been nationality relevant in 20 plus years. Okie has had a few flashes here and there.
Untill the PAC invest in facilities and coaches they will keep falling behind.
There's good talent out west to bad those conferences don't make the the effort to keep the kids home.
