Well shit... It went a lot further than anyone on this earth but our players and coaches expected. It was a gut punch to lose to OSU. but that lineup is damn talented and we almost came back in the end again.. Just wasn't in the cards for us. But that's a team and season I won't ever forget. It's tied for our 2nd best appearance in the CWS with the 1985 team. I know Yall will yawn, but 2 trips this decade to the cws. 1 to the finals, 1 to the semi-finals, 3 straight years of making the super regional's and now we have the great majority of this team coming back.
Now the great unknown.
The new head coach that will be named is Indiana's Chris Lemonis. Who is 137–87–2 in 4 years, Has never made the CWS or Super regionals, Never won a conference title or tournament. His claim to fame is he helped McDonnell take Louisville to the CSW 3 times in 8 years.
Our hitting coach Jake Gautreau will stay on though. Unknown who the pitching coach will be...
if we hire an excellent pitching coach, we can possibly make another run to Omaha based on the talent returning.
Oh. and Go Oregon State. screw van horn and the hogs.
