"Notice the lack of Florida teams"...?

First time in 30 years. Your point is...? FSU and Miami are in regionals, however.

I'm officially a fan of ALL the ACC teams from here on out. If my Seminoles can't get to Omaha, we have a few candidates who likely will show up at Rosenblatt.

The SEC leads all conferences in the number of teams in the championship field with eight, followed by the Atlantic Coast and Big 12 with seven each. The Pacific-10 and Conference USA have four teams each.

Twenty-nine of the 64 teams were not in the field last year, including Lehigh (automatic qualifier), UNC Asheville (automatic qualifier), Prairie View (automatic qualifier), San Francisco (at-large) and Sacred Heart (automatic qualifier), making the championship for the first time. Manhattan was last in the field in 1957, while St. Louis is in the field for the first time since 1966 and Ball State's last appearance was 1969.

Miami is in the field for the 34th consecutive year, extending its own record. Florida St. is making its 29th straight appearance, second all-time. Other long consecutive streaks: Clemson (20), Cal St. Fullerton (15), Stanford (13) and Rice (12).

Of the 285 championship eligible Division I institutions which sponsor baseball, Rice has the most Division I wins with 49. Twenty-five other teams won at least 40 Division I contests and 24 are in the field.

my huskers are 2 & 'que...which is incredibly sad and frustrating...

they just hit a slump so bad starting about 5 weeks ago. We had a HR against Okie State after coming all the way back that would have won the game for us get overturned and it seemed like after that we were a different team. The bats went so cold, that I probably could have surrounded a keg with them and enjoyed cold beer for days...(I'm not sure where that came from)...

Seriously, when you have a player who through the first 2/3 of the season was hitting about .380, and his final average for the season is .260, something is whack.

Ditto that, Beta. I, naturally, was rooting hard for Nebraska. I went to the series finale at Austin in April, and that sadly was the last series Nebraska looked good...we pulled out a 6-0 win that day, and took the series 2-1 from Texas.

I'm rooting for all the Big XII teams now, except Texas of course
