Beavs Earn #3 Seed

The Oregon State baseball team will enter the 2013 NCAA Tournament as the No. 3 National Seed, the NCAA selection committee announced Monday morning.

The seeding is the highest ever for the Beavers, who were the No. 8 national seed in 2005.

Agree with the sentiment in the other thread that the Beavs got a good draw. I don't have much issue with the Ducks at #8. They've been tough and scrappy all year, and they'll have to get by Rice, which is a tougher opponent than anyone the Beavs face. Overall pretty fair. I think Oregon – Rice is intriguing…definitely will be watching that one. Only thing I'm worried about with the Beavs is a starter possibly imploding. Short of that, they should be fine this round.

Let the mayhem begin. Saturday and Sunday will be broadcast on TV. I have a crappy feeling the Ducks take 2 of 3 as I don't see the Beavs scoring many runs versus them…it will come down to OSU pitching outdueling those guys.

Oregon Sanctions

Let the moaning begin: Article

The Ducks will lose one or two scholarships for three years, have some restrictions on recruiting and be placed on probation for five years.

They'll avoid the hammer, penalties like a bowl ban, rescinded titles or vacated wins. Those "looming sanctions" will no longer loom so ominously.

Fans of other schools around the PAC-12 will be moaning that the Ducks got a slap on the wrist, but the ruling feels appropriate and reasonable. The investigation took so long that UO deserves some credit for time served.

Appropriate and reasonable? So they get to a title game and 2 Rose Bowls with those players, yet only lose 1 or 2 scholarships, and this is reasonable?

UO deserves credit for time served? What time served? Scruitny for cheating and (negative) public opinion now count as time served?

That's nice.

Go NCAA.
