CWS musings

Are y'all watching the CWS now that the Horns are out?

I haven't watched as many games as I'd like (work and other stuff getting in the way). But, I've enjoyed the games I have managed to watch. After watching them play in Round Rock, I was really rooting for UCI to go all the way. They went quite a bit further than a lot of people thought they would. Sadly, it looks like they ran out of steam this evening. Too bad.

So the first team in is Oregon State...defending National Champ! Did anyone really expect them to be back? I know I didn't. Wow. They'll go up against Rice or North Carolina. I tend to root for Rice as long as they're not playing Texas. But, suddenly, I find myself rooting for a rematch. I looked things up a few minutes ago and found that the last time the same two teams played for the championship in back-to-back years was in 1972 and 1973. USC beat Arizona State both times. That was part of a 5-year run for USC.

By the way, one of my favorite things about watching this year has been seeing all those teams sporting traditional "high socks" uniforms. I love that the teams from out west are doing that. I wish more would.

Ah well.

It's too bad the Horns aren't in Omaha. There's always next year, though. Hook 'em!
