Graves field was sad. Husky Ballpark was around 1997, and finally "finished"a few years ago. The Huskies were good when I got here in 1995, and a good methadone for missing Texas baseball. They've been fairly mediocre since the school fired Knutson. I'm going to a game this weekend against Stanford and I'm gonna wear my Stanford shirt I bought the last time Texas played in Palo Alto.
Evans diamond has its charm. I was also there in 2014 for the Texas series as well as some Husky games when work let me get down there. Getting in and out via bart is fantastic.
The thing that made Washington/Washington State great was the pac north. Portland, Eastern Washington, Gonzaga etc.. Oregon dropped the program. Washington took over dominance in the 90's until the North/South was dropped. It used to be the winner of the south division would host a regional and know they were in so of course the North "champ" would win the three game series for the auto-bid.
I do wonder if the Pac north/south thing was to shield them from USC during their dynasty.
All I can say is thank god for texas.leanplayer.com and the Longhorn Network for baseball.
