[QUOTE="Fighter of the Nightman, post: 2084721, member: 590800"] I have alluded to this before, but MAN it is my dream to see the Illini in the College World Series one day ... we had a shot in 2015, but we ran into defending champion Vanderbilt and lost in the Regionals at home, IIRC. The CWS just seems like such a fun event, and my two friends who live in Omaha absolutely swear by it. I get that weather holds back the Northern schools, but man ... sucks that it is always warm-weather schools there. FWIW, this is the last CWS appearance for each Big Ten team... Michigan: 2019 Indiana: 2013 Minnesota: 1977 Iowa: 1972 Ohio State: 1967 Michigan State: 1954 Wisconsin: 1950 (no longer has a baseball team) Illinois: Never :cry: Maryland: Never Northwestern: Never Purdue: Never Nebraska last made it in 2005 (bet that was crazy in Omaha!), but they were obviously not in the Big Ten at the time. Similarly, Rutgers made it in 1950, and PSU made it in 1973. The future Big Ten schools from out west have fared better: Washington: 2018 UCLA: 2013 USC: 2001 Oregon: 1954 [/QUOTE]
