Since CU has no baseball, which Pac-12 baseball team would you adopt as your team?

Utah, Minnesota, BYU, Pittsburgh, Boston College, UConn, Nebraska, Indiana, Penn State, Creighton, Gonzaga, Kansas, Wichita State, Maryland, Illinois, Purdue, Eastern Michigan, St. John's, Ohio State, West Virginia, Maine, Notre Dame, Cincinnati, South Dakota State, North Dakota State, North Dakota, Rutgers, Harvard, Yale, Northern Illinois, Buffalo, Iowa, Northwestern, Michigan, Air Force and Northern Colorado all have baseball teams. The PAC-NW schools aren't exactly bastions of warmth, either.

CU would spend the first 2-3 weeks playing games in CA, TX or AZ. Tons of teams do the same thing.

I'm not arguing that... I'm just saying the "elite" teams seem to all be in warm weather states.

What about Uconn?

Why go to Omaha when you can sleep on Junctions couch and watch the JUCO World Series?

If Oregon State can win back to back CWS ('06 and '07), then CU can be competitive. It involves the same thing as any other sport - recruiting CA and TX.

1 of 25 isn't exactly a great number. I would be in favor of a baseball team if it wasn't a drain on the AD and was actually competitive. And I don't see someone coming out and giving a $50+ million donation to get the program started

Technically you can see both tournaments, since CWS starts the week after Juco.

Realistically, you ****ers can NOT sleep on my couch.

Could careless about Baseball but Utah since a friend plays for them.

My best friend was the first day starter at Cal for 2 years before he got drafted. Went out to Berkeley all the time. The thing is, he loves CU. He even rocked a CU shirt when we went out to see the CU Cal game in Berkeley. Plus, good story about them almost losing the progam and alums coming together to save the team. Berkeley is the baseball team.

do you even need to recruit those states that hard? I thought Colorado had some serious baseball talent.

Not enough to build a team off of. We'd have to hit Texas and California pretty hard.

That was one heck of a story...Cal deserves respect from its baseball peers for that.
