    The former Jets quarterback

    LOL. Former Jets Quarterback? Yeah like Brett Favre is a former Jets Quaterback. Joe Montana, the great Kansas City Chiefs quarterback.

    Anyway pre-game and post-game shows are an artifact for an era where we were desperate to hear some football chatter. Now that we can hear it any time we want on the internet, they are just a waste of time.

    Bullshit.

    Just look at the state of Texas.  A&M, Tech, TCU have all had better runs in the past 10 or so years than they’ve ever had.  DBU, Texas State, SHSU probably the same.

    More guys hitting 95/100 MPH than will be stocked on top 10 teams.  Hitters that have seen hundreds if not thousands more pitches than the generation before.  More kids that can hit it 400 feet and more consistently.

    If the goal is to be the best in Texas, sure. But if the goal is the CWS I disagree it was easier to get there in the past. California used to be loaded with elite teams that regularly ended our seasons. Oklahoma State was a dominant dynasty for decades. The Southeast was, as it is now, loaded with elite teams. Sure the State of Texas might not have had that many great programs in the 1970s or whatever but last I checked the CWS isn't just teams from Texas.

    I’d be surprised if any Texas baseball fan likes a mediocre team.  The goal is the CWS.  Every year but the landscape of making it 50% of the time is not realistic.  Because that’s incredible and built over time in a less competitive world.

    Nonsense excuse. The world was just as competitive, if anything it was harder back when there were fewer teams in the tournament and more teams overall.

    And no one else who had 12 rounds had more players drafted. 

    Yeah but I was saying this year's class was probably more impressive for us for that reason.

    Texas had 11 players drafted, the most for Texas according to ESPN since 1984, the year when Texas had 17 players drafted, which is STILL an NFL record.

    Yeah but there were 12 rounds back then.
