If we win the national title this year, do you think it will translate into another or even multiple national titles in the years to come? I'm curious as to what the "never won a national championship in any sport" mantra that is often cited about MSU plays on our baseball program? I'm sure for some of our players they don't even think about it but I will be surprised if it's not brought up at least once on tv if we make the finals.
I would like to think once the first one is won, it will allow future teams not to carry that pressure of being the 1st team to win a title. Not saying the road to the title is any easier, just the added pressure of being the 1st team to do it would not be there.
I compare it to LSU. Bertman started in 1984 but didn't make the College World Series until his 3rd year. Then they were regular participants in the CWS. When they won their title in 91' it seemed to have a trickle down effect to the following teams and they won 4 titles in 8 years. I realize a lot of that may be attributed to gorilla ball but nevertheless they still won the title.
Just curious what others may think.
