CS Fullerton dumps the Big Ten out of the CWS..
In the end, the Cal State Fullerton baseball team proved it had the depth to win four games in three days.

Nick Ramirez hit the go-ahead two-run homer with two out in the sixth inning, and the top-seeded Titans won the Fullerton Regional of the NCAA tournament with a 9-5 victory over the fourth-seeded Gophers on Monday night.

The Gophers (32-30), who were trying to get out of the regional round of the NCAA tournament for the first time since 1977, won their first two games of the regional, including a 3-1 victory over Cal State Fullerton on Friday night. However, they couldn't come through on their two chances to beat the Titans (47-16) one more time, losing 7-2 Sunday night to set up Monday's game.

Minnesota was the ONLY Big Ten representative in the original 64 team field. And though the Golden Gophers played tougher than expected, in the end Big Ten baseball was shown once more to be lacking..

3. Nobody..just like the Big Ten..
if the Big Ten expands by only picking up a Big East school or two, they might as well abandon the sport of baseball..

2. Let's go a little further, Upton.
Please list the super regional teams and let's see how they fall geographically.

5. I don't think gloating is necessary
IIRC, Condem predicted Cal State Fullerton to win.

6. Check it out..
Giants picked Fullerton star Gary Brown in the first round...I'm now a Titans fan. At least temporarily.

Oh, and btw, gloating is a Sports Forum tradition. Face it Jon, it's not as if we don't hear from all the east coasters when the Pac-10 has problems..

7. Not really
I really don't get the point of the gloating about conferences. Too many diverse schools in each. I only do it when you annoy me with your "East Coast bias" stuff...:crazy:
