Why is the CWS always in Omaha?

because they support it ...

FANNY PACK

Is that it? I always assumed that there was some historical reason, not just that Omaha is wildly into college baseball.

I always assumed it was there to insure that no school ever got to have a home field advantage in the tournament.

Maybe, but isn't there a University of Nebraska, Omaha? Admittedly, they might not have a team. I honestly don't know. Not giving a home field advantage seems reasonable to me.

Congrats, Miami has a good shot in Omaha. Good luck.

NO SNARK

Congrats Canes. Cards crapped the bed again.

2nd the motion

Congrats Miami. While the Cards have company in the fact that so far only 2 of the 5 home teams have won their Super Regionals, UofL really choked this weekend.

Nebraska Omaha does have a team. They are a member the Summit. Creighton is also in Omaha, and the University of Nebraska is only an hour down the road and undoubtedly has a ton of fans in Omaha. None made the tournament this year.

Good luck to Miami!

Go Canes!

Did any other ACC teams make it to Omaha?

Winner of FSU vs UF today goes.

Florida State still has a chance, if they beat Florida. However that game turns out, there will be only two teams combined from the ACC and SEC, despite the dominance of those two conferences in the pre-tournament RPI rankings.

The NCAA assured the ACC of at least one spot in the CWS by pairing BC and Miami in the Super-regionals.

SEC could be shut out. Go Noles!

The Noles & Canes were the 2 best teams in the ACC this year, in my opinion.

That just goes to show you how difficult it is to make it to Omaha.
