NCAA Regional at Oregon

Re: NCAA Regional at Oregon

I came on on this board today for two things. One is in another section, the other was to congratulate the Jacks on their baseball season. Then I read this and I want to puke. On occasion, you are going to beat the big boys, but 99% of the time it will be during the regular schedule. The likelihood of SDSU or USD for that matter winning a NCAA post season match at this point in our voyeur into D-1 is very unlikely. You are playing against teams and cools with much larger budgets, better coaching and conditioning staffs, etc. For you to expect to win all the time is flat out nuts. I give you credit for your skills with the pen and word processor, but your expectations are bonkers. I wished you had won, I certainly didn't expect it. And in closing, please no lectures about USD willing to just get there, blah, blah, blah and SDSU fans expect to be the best all the time. That's nonsense.That being said, to those fans well grounded, congrats on a great season and very impressive showing in the NCAA.

I think you're looking at this wrong. If it was just about any other sport than baseball then I'd agree with you, but in baseball it takes one good outing by a pitcher to win a game. I believe Nova is looking at it in retrospect of how the games played out and I agree with him. It was disappointing because both games were winnable (for that game, that night, etc.)Would SDSU win 7 out of 10? Most likely not, but those games were both winnable this past weekend in Oregon.

Re: NCAA Regional at Oregon

I'm of the school that these were two winnable games that we should have won and that we should still be playing, and that coming close isn't good enough. It was a triumph to be there, a disappointment that we didn't find way to win.

Agreed. The sports establishment tends to write off relative newcomers to D-1 such as SDSU, but the Jacks have proven several times and on multiple fronts that they belong. Winning is the next step. That and convincing fans in the Upper Midwest to get over their inferiority complex.

A.). You lostB.) I was referring to men's sports. Congrats to your women, do disrespect was intendedC.) Where does WE come from. I don't believe I used the word weD.) I know you think your coaches in every sport are the absolute best in every sport. Wrong. Again, no disrespect to them, but I would bet the farm ( and yours) that the coaches at the schools in the NCAA field would be rated higher than yours. E.) If you think for one moment your facilities are better then the University of Oregon, then I want to smoke what you are smoking. Get a grip.F.) I asked you not to go the the WE WENT FIRST argument, but after being 5 years ahead of us in this so this so called magical world of D-1 sports, do I need to remind you that we each won the same amount of games or matches in competition with each other, so I wouldn't exactly be bragging and puffing out my chest how fricking superior you are because reality is you're not. If you insist on seeing it through your eyes, then I must insert the argument that maybe, just maybe, USD has superior coaching, let alone Oregon, because with such a head start in going D-1, you are even with us.G.) I know USD doesn't play baseball. Again, where does this we comment come from. I merely came online to congratulate you and your team on a good season and you take it another direction. Again, I have done my homework on you, and I will never win the power of the pen argument, so I won't try. To the rest of the Jacks fans, congrats on a good season in baseball.

Knock it off.

Refers to both yoteforever and NoVa.

Although yoteforever's comments are borderline time-out-able for being smack (don't even try to tell me that calling SDSU fans "nuts" or "bonkers" isn't smackish).

Re: NCAA Regional at Oregon

Where to start?A. We lost two one-run games, one in 13 innings. B. We have already won NCAA tournament games; See SDSU women's basketballC. Where does this "we" come from. Jacks are how many years ahead of USD in the conversion?D. Quantify better coaching, please. I want to hear that one.E. Quantify the better facilities and conditioning, please. You do know that Oregon did not field a varsity baseball team for 25 years before 2007, correct, and has been playing D-1 baseball in its current incarnation fewer years than the Jacks have, correct? F. We went through the "just great to be here" phase five years ago, while USD was still Division II.G. USD doesn't play baseball. Where does the "we" come from?You want me to go on?

I agree, but there is always next year. We will be back.

Re: NCAA Regional at Oregon

It sure was fun to watch the team compete the last two days. A hit or a hit there and the Rabbits could be sitting in a great position to compete for a regional championship. Congrats to Coach Schrage and his staff. This a great building block for SDSU baseball.

GO RABBITS!

Re: NCAA Regional at Oregon

Big ballpark plus good pitching equals low scoring games,we fit into that scenario pretty good,just couldn't quite get over the hump.I'm real proud of the team,and the experience gained will be invaluable in the future for those returning,(why do you think ORU was so hard to beat in the Summit Tournament).Let's also make it a tradition to go to the NCAA tournament.

Rice defeated Oregon 1-0. USF will play Oregon to see who gets a shot at Rice.

Re: NCAA Regional at Oregon

Very sharp pitching by the Jacks. Batting was tough. PCA park ate a LOT of long balls that Jacks hit. Jacks definitely were very competitive.

Re: NCAA Regional at Oregon

Valiant effort. San Fran 4, State 3.

Really proud of this team. Jackrabbit baseball is in great shape and poised for even greater things. This team's efforts makes recruiting easier. Go Jacks!

Great season particually if you consider all of the obstacles with weather, road games and lack of practice. The Jacks certainly proved that they belonged in the tournament.

Looking forward to the future.

Re: NCAA Regional at Oregon

Interesting point: Oral Roberts did not make the tourney this year. They were taken out by Central Arkansas for the Southland Title. UCA lost in its regional opener but won today, 6-5 in 11 innings, against Mercer.
