SO, FSU is the most underachieving team on the list. Fan-frigg'n-tastic!

Even though FSU hasn't won the CWS in all those attempts, their consistency under Mike Martin has been amazing. I think he's won at least 40 games every season. Something like that. And they've been playing great baseball of late.

Here's a random Gator note, while we're waiting for Saturday. Austin Maddox heading for the big leagues. Congrats Austin! This guy was the original JJ Schwarz, hitting 17 bombs as a freshman, before Sully turned him into a pitcher. Sully's done that with quite a few of his better hitting position players. Brian Johnson comes to mind. It will be interesting to see which way he goes with Langworthy and Milchin. His preference for pitching is probably part of the reason why his teams always pitch well but struggle to hit (relatively speaking). Can't really argue with the results, though.

Speaking of JJ Schwarz, he went in the 38th round to the Rays.

I think a breakout senior year would significantly improve his draft position.

You've been 21 times without a title. Seriously, who is going to be called a bigger underachiever?

What I liked about the information shared is that of the seven other teams in the CWS, Florida has faced two of them 3 times each and came away with a 5-1 record. No other team has as many wins.

FSU is 3-3. LSU is 2-5. To be fair, TCU is 2-0.

UF has had the hardest road out of all those team during the regionals and super regional. This IMHO gives them the best chance out of all of those teams.

I think he elects to come back next year because he was drafted too high to obtain a good contract.
