I certainly don't belittle those schools which are successful at college baseball. It's just not a sport I enjoy watching. I do agree with you that UF's program clearly should have performed at a higher level over the years given the talent resources in the state. I didn't go to the baseball games in Gainesville, and I don't here in Columbia either.Heath Clinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18246298709118406880noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1995185573026568076.post-5250545008493394292009-04-22T00:10:00.000-04:002009-04-22T00:10:00.000-04:00I wonder out loud, Heath, if your comments about c...I wonder out loud, Heath, if your comments about college baseball aren't somehow reflective of the fact that the University of Florida has never won the College World Series (despite a very nice run in '05). In fact, I would argue that UF has horrifically (yes, horrifically) underachieved in this sport given the level of talent in the state. Seriously: Texas, California and Arizona schools completely dominate this sport (Oregon State and LSU notwithstanding). What do they have that Florida doesn't? (Hint: absolutely nothing.) When Rice University and North Carolina have far more successful programs than Florida has ever had and those that champion the University of Florida are nonchalant about the sport, the B.S. needle gets pinned to the right (with smoke pouring out of the meter). It's not about metal bats or about pitchers' arms. Sorry, Heath; your followers know better...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
