Pretty sure we lost in the final game in either 51 or 95. Before it was the best of 3 for the championship.

Lol, had to double check, for sure I thought this was a @VolPack22 response.
Exactly something he would say.

Consider Blue Blood programs like “old money” and teams like Vanderbilt would be considered “new money”. Typically old money folks are pretty down to earth people, whereas new money folks tend to be more assholes than anything else….JMO

Sounds like the way Tennessee baseball fans act...

Just like in hoops it's how many titles you have won,and not just getting to the dance.

Vandy is nouveau riche. Tennessee leads the all-time series with the Dorks and we have been to the CWS more times than they have.

That same coach averages the exact same SEC record as CTV, that same coach took 9 years to get to Omaha, it took CTV 3 full seasons, it took that same coach 12 years to reach Omaha 2x, it took CTV 5 years. I'll give him credit that he's made the most of it when he gets there and if we only measure success by the last one standing then he's been the best in the SEC but there's more to it than just a national title becuase of how hard, unfair and quirky baseball is. Sully has been to Omaha nearly 2x as many times as Corbs and owns an average SEC W/L record of 2 games better than Corbs, yet doesn't seem to get the same recognition and reverence. I don't like the guy but he's fielded the most competitive program in the SEC over the last 15 years IMO.

Can't stand Vanderbilt but the poster is right it's all about how many trophies in the case

Corbin was able to essentially cheat his way because Vandy was able to have every player on full scholarship. Those days with all those advantages are done

 

[a vol n tears]

Doesn't seem like baseball has the same "blue blood" stickiness that football and basketball have. It shifts more over time, maybe more similar to women's basketball. LSU and Miami are who immediately come to mind for me, but neither have won a title in quite some time. USC has the most titles, but none in the last 25 years, so are they really still a blue blood?

During the 90s I believe LSU had 5 titles in 10 years. They started the rise of SEC baseball.

I'm a smart azz also.

One thing that can be said about this list. College baseball is the warm climate sport. Few programs in cold regions ... Only 5 schools from really cold climates, several in the middle and a lot from warm regions.

Baseball is different than football. Football, everyone gets a full ride no matter what until you get past the 85 limit. Nobody wants to go play for that trash program whenever you will have everything taken care of at a much better program. Baseball programs have always gotten the short end of the stick whenever it comes to the major college sports. Football and basketball run the show.

This has a WNBA "pay gap" feel to it.

It’s actually a Title IX issue because they want the women’s athletic scholarships to match the men’s. Football accounts for 85 scholarships and there is not an equivalent women’s sport to counteract that.

National titles is not the only metric that measures the success of a sports program. By this absurd logic, it could be argued that Vandy baseball is superior to Florida State or Mississippi State Baseball, just because Vandy has two titles to FSU's 0 titles and MSU's 1 lone title.

 

[99gator]

Teams that have been to Omaha 15 times or more....

Texas
Miami
Florida State
Arizona State
Southern Cal
Oklahoma State
LSU
Stanford
Arizona
Cal State Fullerton

Next closest......Florida with 13.

7 of this list haave 4 national titles or more. Florida State (0), Oklahoma State (1), and Stanford (2)

Agree to disagree

So your saying winning National Titles and Conference championship isn't the expectations of College Sports Teams?

 

[VolDaddy61]

So, exactly who are the college baseball blue bloods?

I know that Tennessee would be more nouveau riche at this time, but who would be considered a blue blood other than LSU and Texas?

LCSC

 

[Sheik Yerbouti]

Surprised LSU's budget isn't way higher.

You assume they are accurately reporting their financial numbers?
