If Stanford could come back and win, it'd be Stanford, Ole Miss, Arkansas, and likely Auburn. That's a tough regional for Ole Miss. They haven't had much competition to this point, but if they make it to the championship, they'll earn it vs this group.

Yes well said and I agree that would be a tough bracket. Arkansas playing as well as anyone right now.

I have a feeling Auburn is gonna blow it and OSU will be in. I still think Stanford is gonna win it all…

Oh and just think if we had Yeager leading off, Montegomry hitting 2nd and Hines hitting 3rd this year. That’s a hell of a 1/2/3…

It?s wild to think Montgomery and Hines were on the same high school team

No chance we were getting Montgomery. Unfortunately. He was the best player on Madison Central's team last year.

And Ross Highfill who was an UA All-American. Not surprising they won 6A and the HS National Championship.

Never said we were getting him. If you read I said just “think”….

If I had an offer from Stanford I wouldn’t come to State either. Eventually baseball ends. It makes life a little easier when you have a big time degree behind you.

I hope Vitello is still wide awake and cursing loudly.

I can't believe Tenner lost. They have 5 star hearts.

You comment begs the question: Does Stanford make their student athletes "earn" their degree? Does MSU not make student athletes "earn" their degree? Is a Stanford degree worth more, market wise, than the same degree form MSU? Are there too may academic "distractions" at MSU vs Stanford? Why the difference, athletic performance wise and academic wise, when a player goes to Stanford vs MSU?

When I was a student at MSU, MSU Electrical Engineering was rated #8 in the country. That is one reason why I chose MSU.

Yes, Stanford student athletes are the real thing. Stanford kids even have actual majors, unlike the Vandy kids that are nearly all "Undecided" or "Media Studies". Pretty cool that Vandy has a major for watching TV all day.

At MSU baseball, it is the real thing too. Will Clark was a Petroleum Engineering student, 4.0 GPA. Preston Brown (pitcher in 2015 or so) went from Friday nights to Med School with a Bio Engineering degree. Sam Frost (2013) was a classmate of a friend of mine at Carnegie Mellon MBA, top student at MSU.

At MSU, the rigor of the degree is sport-by-sport it seems. Probably, this is true nationwide. My boss was a Duke graduate, says the Duke Basketball players don't do academic work unless the individual player absolutely wants to.

Stanford is recognized as one of the top educational institutions in the world. A sample: #2 in the World University Rankings, #1 in Bloomberg's Business School Ratings, #2 on Fourtune's list of best MBA programs, #3 in US News Global University rankings.
And yes, a degree from Stanford is likely "worth" more as the average starting salary for a Stanford grad is $93k a year vs. $46k for MSU.

Stanford has always invested in sports and has a $37Billion+ endowment - 4th largest in the US. They are essentially an Ivy League School academically with Texas' investment in athletics.

I hope ND goes 2 & 'Cue. Nothing against ND (at least in this instance), but UT is so unlikeable I don't even want them to have the consolation of thinking they lost to a really good and/or really hot team.
