    I’m not sure why would should think he can’t win a championship here. We were Bednar away from winning one a couple years ago. Do you think it’s impossible that he gets there again? And if so, why?

    Every game 1 starter in Omaha has punked Pierce lineups. Nothing special about 2021. And if hypothetically MSU didn’t have Bednar, we were going to walk past Leiter and Rocker?

    Uhhh… this might be a little hyperbolic. Third-best RPI conference. 

    TCUs Pac 12 heavy non conference had people thinking they were the #1 team in the country. Big 10 is Big 10. There’s 0 competition for 3rd best RPI conference

    Good. Hopefully our fans will stop being pussies about playing a school that’s never accomplished anything 

    It’s an ideal scenario. Either we win a regional or we can land a manager who can build a championship program

    Doesn’t play in Omaha either (which plays like a MLB park with the wind usually blowing in). Always been my fear these last few years. Lots riding on the long ball for offense.

    2018 and 2022 both leave Omaha with 0 total homers and ~2 runs per game after mashing in Austin and ECU. Think we hit a decent amount of homers in 2021, but losers bracket is losers bracket.

    This team will win a regional in the right park or be starting the offseason quickly in the wrong one. At least we set regular season home run records

    We are due for a regional like this and I wouldn't mind it. Obviously there are much easier regional matchups but this would be a fun one

    Pretty true. We’ve had cake walk home regionals for nearly a decade and some convenient supers matchup upsets. ECU the lone exception.

    Miami and Stanford are about as tame as they come last year. Avoided Oxford and Gainesville (or would UF have come to us?) recently. 2014 the last true hostile regional. 15 was tough, but not hostile.

    Feels like we do this in May almost every year after playing with our food a little bit in April.

    I can’t believe Duplantier has turned into a reliable arm. You place this year’s version of him on any previous team and it’s a game changer. I had completely written him off headed into the year.

    The man can’t build a roster, but he can sure as hell maximize what he gives himself to work with
