All this talk about Bianco and OM baseball passing State..some fact.
Since Bianco took over.
NCAAs: State 6 OM 6
Supers: State 2 OM 3
CWS: State 1 OM 0
Some say our CWS appearance was a matter of circumstance and luck with the top national seed in our bracket falling. However, when the nearly same scenario happened for the Rebs in 2006 with Nebraska falling and hosting a non-national seed, they failed to advance. Also, the Rebs failed to advance in 2005 when hosting a non-national seed and they were the #5 national seed.
I would hardly say a program that had nearly the exact same scenario as we did, TWICE, and failed to capitalize has passed us by. State deserves some credit for last year.
