Proof of Randomness in College Baseball

[AustinCane6688]

We might not be a tournament team anymore, but at least they still mention us when they show Warren Morris in the crowd. Go Canes!

Yes. One time means anymore. Never again for us.

We're Wake Forest. We will occasionally make it, but that crazy tuition is going to hamper our recruiting efforts.

I'm just happy that they mentioned us during the CWS.

This may the most idiotic thing i've read on these boards in some time.

 

[Jaromir Jagr]

^^^ True. Wake Forest was a super regional team.

I see not much has changed with hockey guy over the last month....

^^^ True. Wake Forest was a super regional team.

Insert one sample argument.

You're anything if not predictable.

But this is a funny line given what you said just last year.

Kevin O'Sullivan would like to know when he can get Wake Forest, Duke, Boston College, Pittsburgh, and Virgina Tech on the schedule.

In order to explain why Jim Morris had a better record than Kevin O'Sullivan since his hiring in 2008, you made this claim.

Of course 2+ months later Boston College was in a Super Regional and now this year Wake Forest found themselves in one too (pushing O'Sullivan's team to 3 games in Gainesville).

The examples are infinite of Jagr botching things and twisting himself into a human pretzel to make his arguments.

LMAO. Kevin O'Sullivan would love to have Boston College and Wake Forest on his annual schedule. Quit using one year sample sizes to pump up these teams.

While we're on the subject of Kevin O'Sullivan.......

 

[Doppelganger]

Wake Forest has been to more than one Super Regional.

That's more than Kentucky or Missouri and the same as Tennessee (which O'Sullivan sees every year). That's half the teams that Florida plays in the SEC East.

So you think O'Sullivan would love to play a team that his national championship squad almost lost to in a home Super Regional?

That sounds like something that would come from a guy who thought Rob Cooper was a future star.

Wake Forest went to a Super Regional in 1999 and 2017, therefore they are a quality program. Jim Morris went 0-2 in a home regional in 2012 and completely missed the tournament in 2017, but he is still a phenomenal coach. Let me guess which one is a "small sample size".

 

[Doppelganger]

Wake Forest went to a Super Regional in 1999 and 2017, therefore they are a quality program.

Which is a strawman that nobody said.

You do this all the time. It's breathtaking.

You make a stupid and inaccurate claim that O'Sullivan somehow plays a way tougher schedule than the weaklings in the ACC.

Wake Forest is merely a program as good or better than half of those in the SEC East.

 

[Doppelganger]

Let me guess which one is a "small sample size".

What's not a small sample size is the fact that Missouri, Tennessee and Kentucky (and Georgia for that matter) kinda suck.

So your claims about O'Sullivan wanting to sign up Boston College and Wake Forest is laughable in it's ignorance.

 

[Jaromir Jagr]

Boston College has made it to the NCAA tournament twice in the last 50 years. Literally. Kevin O'Sullivan would absolutely love to have them on his schedule.

Miami used to make the tournament every year, but Florida owns us and would play us 56 times a year if they could. So your point that Wake makes a Super Regional once every two decades doesn't quite drive home the point that they are a tough opponent and that UF should be leery of ever playing them.

 

[Jaromir Jagr]

By the way, want to know how lucky Jim Morris was in 2016? In his Super Regional he drew the team that had one single NCAA tournament win since 1967. Their last win before 2009 was a single win over UMass in the Amherst Regional in 1967.

 

[Doppelganger]

Boston College has made it to the NCAA tournament twice in the last 50 years.

Which is actually twice in the last 9 years too (2009 and 2016).

Listed below are the number of Regional appearances since 2009:

Kentucky - 3
Boston College - 2
Wake Forest - 2
Georgia - 2
Missouri - 2
Duke - 1
Tennessee - 0

But, boy, that O'Sullivan would love the reprieve that he'd get playing those weak ACC teams you mentioned, huh?

 

[Doppelganger]

Literally. Kevin O'Sullivan would absolutely love to have them on his schedule.

He'd absolutely love to replace a perennial non-Regional team (like Tennessee) with an occasional Regional team (like Boston College)?

Sure, pal.

Keep pushing those delusions.

 

[Doppelganger]

Miami used to make the tournament every year,

And one off sample size....

 

[Doppelganger]

So your point that Wake makes a Super Regional once every two decades doesn't quite drive home the point that they are a tough opponent and that UF should be leery of ever playing them.

That wasn't the point at all. You get these things wrong frequently.

You made the silly point that O'Sullivan had a worst win percentage than Morris because his conference competition was tougher.

I merely pointed out, with facts, that you severely overrated his opposition and underrated Jim's. That's typical for someone with as much surface knowledge as you do.

Again, not luck at all.

You might want to read up on national seeds and what they entail.

But you're the same guy who claimed that Florida State and Texas A&M were chalk this year despite playing Sam Houston State and Davidson in their Super Regionals.

Anything you can do to diminish Miami and celebrate someone else, you'll do.

The College World Series champion would love to feast on the BC's of the world, yes.

My statement was true. Miami used to make the tournament every year.

O'Sullivan coaches in a tougher conference. Therefore, his winning percentage would stand to be lower, even with an equal or better team. Pointing out that BC and Wake occasionally make the tournament doesn't change anything.

Drawing Boston College and Virginia Commonwealth is the only thing that pumped any life into Jim Morris' legacy. He was a failure from 2009-2014 and again in 2017.

I don't have to do anything to diminish Miami. Jim and Gino did a great job of doing that for us. Looking forward to the upcoming 20-year reunion of our last championship team. Maybe those guys have kids who are old enough to be recruited by now.
