My top three disappointing teams

[basedog]

Here you go:

3) 1989, we were #1 most of the year, we were loaded with depth and talent only to lose on Sunday in the regional at the Dudy to North Carolina. I think we had 6 total losses for the year!

2) 1985, 4 major league all-stars, a wicked shot off the bat into Gene Morgan's leg pretty much cost us Natty.

1) 2022, season isn't officially over but it seems to be over. After winning a Natty, celebrating like it was going out of style, injuries to our pitching staff plus the high expectations with "most of the line-up back except pitchers, we have been so inconsistent and total flop thinking we would make another run to Omaha!

89 was 54-14 but the point remains that one stung.

This is baseball, but 2018 football is easily the most disappointing of all state teams. I love mullen, but I'm really disappointed he left such a great team

God only knows what a coach with half a brain coulda done. Mullen & STATE Fans will regret his hasty departure fo a while.

He'll always be an asshole to me for that. But hey, karma is a bitch because the decision ended up ending his career.

True about 2018, but 2001 broke my heart. Broke my spirit. I was up there believing with Rosebowl and I might have even made hotel reservations in Pasadena for New Year's Day. I have never been ALL IN for football since.

Narrator: He didn't need the reservations.

This by far followed closely by Mullen choking in T Town in 14 and then om in oxford........that will be sickening for many many years......

Mullen's playcalling in the 2014 Bama was absolute garbage. One of his worst at State. People want to blame Dakota and his 3 picks- but Mullen did him no favors.

I mean it happens...I've been there. But he picked a bad to stop sniffing glue.

Still think it'd have been near blasphemy to keep a 1 loss team with the year we had out of the playoffs that year had we just handled business in Oxford but no of course we lose to them then get trounced by Georgia Tech.

Most of my circle says no, but if Mullen & & Geoff don’t mail in the egg we make the playoffs.

And he was so damn nervous looking that day the players had to lead HIM. Hell, Dan at least fake confidence if you?re scared as shit.

That said the no call DPI just before half still pisses me off, and One more stop in the fourth and I think we come back.

ALSO, they fumbled the ****ing ball on their opening TD drive in the 1st quarter at the 50 and we recovered but jackass refused to ask for a replay which was protocol back then. That was a big frigging deal in that game. It was a hell of a strip by somebody too.

My memory may fail me , but what I remember is Mullen trying to run on Bama when he shouldn’t have and passing when he shouldn’t, especially the first half. Seems Bama defense was way ahead of the play calling, but again maybe I was just so upset my memory has failed.....

Let's add 2006 baseball, which was ranked #1 early in the season, but missed Hoover. We did actually make the NCAA Tournament anyway though.

That team was always fools gold early on.

Man I still have nightmares about that. I was at every game of that regional and still can't believe we lost.

I still say the '89 team is the best team in school history. Yeah, I know they didn't make the cws yada, yada but they were nasty. Tommy Raffo, Pete Young, Jody Hurst, Winford bros, Richie Grayum, Brad Hildreth, Cohen, Burke Masters, Tracy Echols, Jon Shave, Bobby Reed, Tracy Jobes, Chris George, Chuck Daniel, Rob Norman, Chuck Holley. Turn around and made the CWS the following year but that team was not as good as the '89.

I think so as well, the lineup could swing the bat, seems like 1-9 all hit .300 or better. Bobby Reed was a true ace and Chris George was very good as well. Depth was the best ever probably.

Best lineup and it's not even close. Pitching wasnt deep. That was Achilles heel.

This is why I say Lemonis isn’t given enough credit. He won a National Championship last year with an an average lineup but with some incredible pitching performances.

He did get it done when he had the players to do it when no one else has.

ETA Kellum Clark, Tanner Allen & others got timely hits where this years team just hasn’t.
