Message: [QUOTE="Carnac, post: 4368499, member: 5798"] I agree 100 % !!! IF Geno does not extend UConn's national championship total to 12 and beyond, it's conceivable that Tennessee could possibly catch/pass this record in the next 10-30 years. The one dynamic no one has mentioned here is that ALL of the current WCBB records were set BEFORE the advent of the transfer portal. College basketball players are now transferring [U]every year[/U] at an alarming rate. That means lots of player turn over. Five players ARE NOT going to win 111 games consecutively. They must have help from their reserves. That means roster consistency for a minimum of 3 years. Of course this also means two back to back undefeated seasons (national championships) along the way. THAT in itself is a monumental challenge. In my very humble opinion, [B]the 749 career complete games is the most safest athletic record on the books. [/B]In today's era of MLB, it's rare for a pitcher to go 9 innings. The philosophy about the game has changed dramatically in the last 25 years. Starting pitchers were EXPECTED to go 9 innings unless they were knocked out of the game. Today, if a pitcher goes 7 innings, he has done his job, and the bullpen takes over to get the last 6 outs. A pitcher would have to pitch 25 complete games every year for 30 years to break that record. Folks, it AIN'T gonna happen!!! There are lots of other records that are also safe and regardless of argument or cases of extreme optimism, will NEVER be broken. Johnny Vander Meer's record of 2 back to back no-hitters in 1938 has stood for 83 years. It will stand for another 83 years. Stop and think for a moment how many GREAT Hall of Fame pitchers NEVER threw a no-hitter. And you want/expect somebody [B]to break the record[/B] by throwing 3 in a row? :eek: What are you smoking?
