Who wins?

the funny thing about this sport is that this is probably ucla's weakest team of the last 4-5-6 years, and yet here they are. if oregon state in 2007 or fresno state in 2008 or arizona last year or this ucla team has shown us anything, it's that the biggest key to success is just getting yourself into the postseason year after year, playing your best ball in june, and a little luck can make up for all sorts of shortcomings. ucla is a freaking oregon clone (or vice versa, whatever), but whereas we dropped out early they're playing for all the marbles. it's all such a giant crapshoot. as long as you're in, you've got a chance. how many national seeds made it to omaha? two? just qualify for the postseason, and you never know...

speaking of past champions:

2004 fullerton
2005 texas
2006 osu
2007 osu
2008 fresno
2009 lsu
2010 s. carolina
2011 s. carolina
2012 arizona
2013 ?

if ucla can bring it home, 6 of the last 10 champions will have come from the best coast. considering how title starved we are in football and hoops, that's not too shabby.

The storyline ESPN wants to sell is that another SEC team is the title game. /yawn.

Congrats to UCLA, show's me that Horton pitching and defense method can win it all if they get hot at the right time

Pac-12 representing again. Yeah no reason Oregon can't get to a CWS next season, just need to get hot at the right time like thomastime said.
