Congrats to our Pac-10 brethren from Corvalis, who are the national champions in baseball.
While it’s a bummer Arizona (and my alma mater, Stanford, the team Oregon State steamrolled in the super regional) didn’t advance (or in Arizona’s case, even make the postseason), you’ve got to be happy the Pac-10 took the crown. And if our fave teams couldn’t do it, who better than Oregon State, arguably the least-successful school historically in the Pac-10?
Ya gotta be happy for them. Congrats, Oregon State.

The OSU Beavers and the North Carolina folks played great baseball. It was fun to watch and both deserved to win — it was that type of series. Congratulations to both. Nice to see both baseball and softball titles in the PAC 10.
