2023 CWS

[R1Letterman]

8 out of first 10 CWS finals had a team from "the north" AND 5 out of the first 10 had a team that would today be considered from a NON P5 school.


So did the ncaa make a change to help the south at some point. If so Should be easy enough to change it back

[R1Letterman]

It's not a delay if it's scheduled.

No one says the Superbowl has been delayed a week.

Why not? It was scheduled.

I was trying to HELP YOU, I've learned my lesson.

[R1Letterman]

Maybe it's not a delay because it was putting it back how it used to be. Checks notes: not the case with cws

“The two-week break before the Super Bowl started with Super Bowl I,” Greg Aiello, an NFL spokesman, told the Guardian.

It was winner take all one game over 30 years ago when Wichita state still never got a second loss but were not called champs

As it should be!!!

In concacaf gold cup, 7 days between group stage match and knock out stage match for USA, but then just three days in between knockout stage rounds..... ruhoh, will we see double digit goals?

[CajunVic]

. . . surely have lots of HS players taken in the first round of the MLB draft that are far from being from the south . . .

[R1Letterman]

Doesn't seem very patriotic to recruit someone away from serving their country

The part of this thread about there only being baseball talent in the south is not aging very well in the first two rounds of the MLB draft . . .

"They may have some talent up there, but they don't have the work ethic and the grind, and their contribution to the team chemistry in the clubhouse is lacking to gel with their teammates from the south"- signed anonymous southern sportscaster
