D1 College Baseball

If anyone can guess the D1 college baseball team with the most all time wins- I'll buy you a gallon of chocolate milk. I wasn't even close.

Ivy League update:

Harvard is at its best standing in more than a decade right now heading into this weekend. 8-4 Ivy, 18-9 overall. We share 2nd with the Quackers right now, and behind Columbia.

[PaladinFan]

Wouldn't have guessed. Also wouldn't have thought of Michigan in the top 10 either.

The rest of the top 10 I probably could have guessed.

[BisonFan02]

I wouldnt have gotten it right, but I kinda assumed it was gonna be a NYC school because time and baseball history in the region.

I had never heard this about Larry Bird batting .500 for Indiana State baseball on this date in 1979.

Ivy League update:

Harvard earns its first berth into the Ivy League championship series (currently Ivy League Playoff Series) since 2006. The Crimson also earn a share of the Ivy League title, its first since 2005. After Brown, we will play Columbia in the ILPS in two weekends.

Harvard gets the first Road to Omaha autobid since 2005! We beat Columbia in two ILPS games to get it.

The Ivy and the Patriot baseball champions faced each other in a tune-up game for the Road to Omaha. The latter, Army, beat us today, 8-3 in Providence.

Meanwhile...

Auburn may be shut out of the Road to Omaha with their last game's outcome... xsmhx

Ugh. Louisville closer may be suspended 4 games (including all Super Regional games) for saying strong language to an umpire. It's not even foul language. ("that's horrible" were his two words) xsmhx

Four games??? I've been an umpire- seems like overkill. One would be plenty for this.

[bonarae]

And...

Only Campbell and Illinois State remain in the Road to Omaha among the FCS participating teams. They will both play at 1 PM EDT today.

Surprised to hear this. Erstad retires from coaching Nebraska baseball.

Interesting post about Power 5 teams that haven't won a national championship in some NCAA sponsored sport since 1998. Hard to believe. And Mississippi State and Texas Tech were basically both a shot away from women's and men's basketball titles, respectively.

Baseball and Track & Field are still active for 2019, the following schools need a win to break their 22 year streak of failing to win a NCAA national championship. FYI, some of these schools have longer active streak, but the data I have starts with the first BCS championship in 1998 fall season. Texas Tech, Mississippi & Mississippi State are ALL still alive in the super regional.

ACC : Pittsburgh
ACC : Virginia Tech*
ACC : North Carolina State

Big Ten : Rutgers

Big 12 : Iowa State
Big 12 : Kansas State
Big 12 : Texas Tech

Pac 12 : Washington State

SEC : Missouri
SEC : Mississippi
SEC : Mississippi State

[Laker]

I started researching.

I know that Mississippi State has never won a national championship- not just since 1998, but ever, according to the announcers in the 2018 women's basketball title game. Virginia Tech hasn't. K-State-none.

Rutgers claims a women's basketball title in 1982. Iowa State has won a number of wrestling titles, the last in 1987 and a pair of cross country titles. Mizzou- baseball in 1954, indoor track in 1965. Wazzu won a cross country title in 1977.

I've watched Pitt win one in football- 1976, NC State in basketball-1974, Ole Miss in football- 1962, Texas Tech- women's basketball-1993.

So it looks like three Power 5 schools haven't won a title yet.

[Laker]

I don't pull for Michigan very often, but I did tonight as they beat #1 UCLA on the road 3-2.

Texas Tech beat OK St 8-6, Louisville pounded East Carolina and Duke leads Vandy 8-5 in the top of the 7th.

Has Pitt or Ole Miss ever won a title recognized by the NCAA? Football championships (above the FCS level) are unofficial as the NCAA doesn’t sponsor a championship at the highest level.

Rutgers’ basketball was under the AIAW. That was the last year for that group while the NCAA also sponsored a women’s tournament for the first time.

Pitt- no

Mike Martin has won at least 40 games for 40 straight seasons. FSU just beat LSU 6-4 after trailing 4-0 to accomplish that feat in the super regional. Amazing.

[Laker]

Cross Texas Tech off of the above list- they won the men's track championship.

[PaladinFan]

Vandy's Kumar Rocker (Georgia boy!) strikes out 19 and pitches a complete game shutout against Duke.

Hard to believe a team wasn't able to sign him in the 2018 Draft.

[Laker]

If I've ever seen uglier uniforms that what Vanderbilt is wearing today at the CWS in Omaha I thankfully can't remember.

[Laker]

Vandy wins over Louisville, Auburn led Miss State 4-1 in the bottom of the 9th but the Bulldogs score four to win.

Are you on CSNBBS?

[bonarae]

Meanwhile...

Rep me if you also want Michigan and Vanderbilt for the CWS title.

[Laker]

Are you on CSNBBS?

Yes but just as a lurker. Many years ago I actually had a password. Then I wasn't active on it and forgot it. Now I tend to check it almost daily. Some things are interesting- I wasn't too fond of the imaginary posts that some people dreamed up, like Rice going D3. The comedy of reading that Upper Iowa, who is in our conference, could be going D1 makes me think that they should have a contest to see which program will be the next "predicted school to move up.

Three games today.


Louisville eliminates Auburn 5-3


Vandy hands Miss State their first loss 6-3


Texas Tech eliminates Florida State and Mike Martin 4-1.

Michigan is through to the CWS finals. One left ...

[dbackjon]

First Big 10 team in the finals since Ohio State won it all in 1966.

First "Northern" team in the finals since Eastern Michigan in 1976

[Laker]

Michigan is through to the CWS finals. One left ...

I liked it when the cleanup batter laid a bunt down third baseline to beat the shift. NO need to make a rule that you can't shift- if he can do it others can too.

This team sure puts up a lot of runs. Hopefully the championship series is exciting.

[dbackjon]

Fun game going on between Vandy and Louisville

Louisville was up 2-1 going into 9th.

Vandy scored 2 to take 3-2.

Louisville just hit 1-out double

[Laker]

Michigan v Vanderbilt in the finals. Louisville left the starter in too long.

[dbackjon]

Vandy wins

Vanderbilt-Michigan Best of Three starting Monday.

BREAKING: Chicago State has cut its baseball program, the athletic director just announced during a call with Board of Trustees. Tough day for @CSUBaseball. Vote has been officially approved to cut baseball after Mr. Charles presentation. In its place, men’s soccer will be added as a reported competitive and cost savings measure eff 20-21 year.

It makes no sense to me to drop baseball and add soccer because they didn't say what the savings would be. CSU is a messed up place.

Very logical move, and one that I predicted :)

gives the Summit 6 baseball schools, preserves the Conference as a multi-sport, provides a closer home for UNC Baseball, against teams that are more familiar with the Bear fans, and for the most part have the same or worse spring weather as UNC (in the WAC, they have to face CA/AZ/NM teams that can play year-round
