    Same here. If you're not reaping the winner's reward you didn't win jack!

    If we can claim a championship, we need to claim it. There's no such thing as too many championship banners. Plus, if we tie for the championship, we have earned that tie.

    I said the same thing after watching them pummel us three days in a row. They were my pick to win the whole thing.

    Then we might as well hand out bowl participation rings in blowout losses, too.

    Come on, if we are tied for 1st then we are co-champions, the difference is only in seedlings. Aggies would have lost to teams we beat such as Florida, you don't diminish being tied as "You can't claim being co-camps as a title".

    Hell yeah put a banner up and give the guys rings, they would have deserved it!

    FL made A&M look silly, and we took 2/3 from FL so I don't concede they are unbeatable. We could hit better than UCLA last time we were at CWS, but they beat us because of small ball and 2 top notch pitchers. I believe good pitching beats good hitting in the tourney. That is what scares me about the tourney our pitching depth.

    If that's the case then we could never make fun of tsun for their sec west co champ banner in football.

    A&M will choke like they do every year. They fold when the going gets tough. We just don't match up well with them. We may not have beat them but we beat the team that did beat them so with a little help if a team that matches up better with them plays them and knocks them out we have a chance to make a deep run if we can stay healthy

    I could care less what they do or other schools, nothing wrong acknowledging accomplishments.

    As years go by most want even remember who we beat or who beat us. Hang the banner, put it in the record books and buy the players ring!

    A&M won't even make it to Omaha much less win it.

    Missouri also had won 4 of their last 5 before playing us. Would you rather be playing USC and Ole Miss to close out the season? Come on....

    I like our chances, but the games won't win themselves.

    Heck, it could come down to Ole Miss and us tied for the SECW. I don't think A&M wins the series against USC since it is a road series and that final weekend could decide it between us, Ole Miss, and A&M.

    There is no "co-champion"...either you win it or you dont. Thats why there is a tiebreaker.

    The SEC's official record book says otherwise.
