If we didn't beat Notre Dame last year......
Would they have won it all? I remember in the supers thinking they were legit...
-
I honestly think Texas would have won it. They were legit.
Notre Damn and Texas would have been playing each other to see who would have beaten Vandy. They tried to hand Vandy the title and we were just a little too hot.

Agree to all. ND was good last year. I hope they do well this year. Wouldn't hurt my feelings seeing TN lose
-
I have been saying this for almost a year. I really believe at the end of the year Notre Dame was the 3rd best team in the country behind us and Texas. That team was absolutely legit and just ran into us in the Supers.
-
No no no. The storyline is Notre Dame is not that good and thus TN losing is a wonderfully embarrassing humiliation. Work with me here folks.
-
Coach34 .. "We're not hiring the ****ing Pirate at Miss State. GTFO"
-
Hope they can hang on and expand that lead.
-
Notre Dame bangs four HRs and takes Game 1 over TN 8-6.
TN center fielder and also pitching coach ejected in the 5th and thus will be suspended for the game tomorrow.
Vitello can not afford to get tossed in the 5th with his pitching coach already gone and has to STFU.
College baseball is fun again.
-
I remember asking who was thought to be the best team that we played and most folks said Texas, I think that ND would have won had we not beaten them.
-
I'm tellin you, last year, that game felt like an Omaha game
-
Texas was the 2nd best team in the country last year. Our games with them were for the championship.

If we playing the what if game, what if NC state hasnt gotten infested with Covid? I still think Covid did us a solid
ETA... I'm certainly not saying we would've lost to NC state. I do think it woulda been a great series. I thought us and nc state were the best 2 teams there at that point.

NC State is who we were all hoping to face. Vandy would have beaten them.

No way vandy beats them twice healthy

Last year we had the bats to pretty much contend with any elite pitcher. Rowdy Jordan was our Jake Mangum (we don't have that this year). Tanner Allen made pitchers scared. Cumbest didn't swing at everything. We were clutch. I have no idea what happened this year, but we desperately need a Rowdey or Mangum. Just somebody that will usually put a ball in play.

State beat Vandy 13-2 and 9-0 in the last two games to win it all. NC State was not going to beat us in the finals.

We would have beaten them in 2 games. I was pissed at what happened to them because I wanted Vandy to have to play another game. I never entertained the idea they would beat Vandy.

Maybe. Vandy beat them 3-1 when they only had 13 players available

IMO keeping your kids up to regulation health standards is part of sports. They failed to keep their entire team from COVID. We did the opposite. That sucks for NC State, but they weren't as rigorous as every other team in Omaha.
They knew they were in a COVID year just like everyone else. But didn't isolate infected players, or prevent necessary exposure like every other team from all over the continental US did. These coaches get paid up to millions of dollars. If COVID means you don't win it all, then you need to bend over backwards to prevent your entire roster from being infected.
If you can't field a team....who else is to blame?

"We did the Opposite" is a little far from the truth. We had a lot of players that were out at bars throughout the entire time the CWS was going on, even after the NC State debacle.
