    100%! That State team almost seemed to me 10 foot tall and bulletproof. You just always had the feeling someone was gonna get the big hit or make the big play, and they always did during that run. And If we had the lead at the end it was game over, with Landon. That was our year to win it all and we did. No one was denying us that year!

    Arkansas is the big what if. That was the one team I did not think we matched up great with but at the same time you have to ask where their pitching would have been by the time the championship series rolled around. I mean they were stretched so thin in the postseason that Kopps threw 10 innings in the span of 24 hrs in the Supers.

    Yep,They lost their #1 starter in sec tournament and that killed them. They had to use Kopps as a reliever AND a starter in the supers. They just didn't have enough pitching to win it all after #1 went down.
