Congrats Beavs on an improbable two in a row as World Series Champs. (apologies to goldengirl but this takes nothing away from LSU's two in a row).
To replace as many players as OSU did and win in the convincing fashion that they did, well, you just gotta give 'em props. They just dominated. And that ain't easy to do these days. I like Casey. A tip of the ole ball cap to the Beavers.

All their fans were great fun and seemed to enjoy being in Baton Rouge. They almost pulled out an OT win. I don't think I can ever remember with so many new strong programs that exist in College Baseball. Now that Coach Wells is moving on from Bama I'm sure he will build another winner somewhere else. I see the regionals getting more competitive then ever. No one is guaranteed anything anymore. The hot team is the one that is gonna win it.
Oregon State fans are about the best in the Pac10. They are competitive but friendly and lots of fun whether playing at their house or elsewhere.
