Yes, I am a bit bitter.

Rice baseball lost to the eventual college champions - AGAIN!

I agree with others. It may have been tough to beat LSU on a neutral site. I give us a good chance at home.

Still it would have been nice to get do it in the finals at Omaha.

Rice would have won as a road team in at least half of the superregional home sites. It would have been no problem.

I'm told we beat Texas, the runner-up, twice this year 2-0 record. I thought we lost to them once, but I did not look. Texas has gotten better and some of their hitters went crazy hot in the post season but Rice has also gotten better as the season progressed. We got our two starters back for the post season.

Texas' vaunted pitching held LSU down for two games but could not do it in the third game. Rice did not go as well.

But I think Rice would have beat those other teams. I think you can easily make the argument that Rice is the second best team in college baseball this year. SIGH.
