So what were you doing on Mother's Day, oh, about 4 pm?
I know I wasn't watching MSU losing to Ole Miss 6-0 in the 6th inning en route to a probable sweep that would ruin our hosting chances and catapult them into the hosting picture.
Looking back, I think this is the game that swung the season. Yes, we started 17-0, dropped a tad starting off in the SEC, did some good things, hit a low vs. Vandy when most of us just figured we were barely Top 25 caliber. When we dropped that DH to Ole Miss, I thought it was over. Season would end in Mobile or Tallahassee. Good season, but nothing special.
Then this happened: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x90o_7COCh0
Then we beat South Carolina 3 of 4 times.
Then we host our first regional in 10 years and turn the tide against a nemesis in UCA.
A team that went 4-0 vs. us (and almost seems unbeatable to us) gets eliminated at home.
Then our bats come alive and we sweep the #6 overall seed at their place. These guys were 50-10! Beat overall #1 seed UNC 2 of 3 at Chapel Hill! Went 4-0 vs. #7 overall seed Florida State. I don't think it's sunk in what we just accomplished.
I'm not saying we're going to win it. But I'm saying that we can. Oregon State used similar luck to this to win it all in 2006 and 2007 especially. Fresno State did it the following year. I feel like the only teams we don't stack up well against are the seasoned teams with high level elite talent, ie. UNC and Vandy. We can beat LSU and I hope we get a shot at them in the Finals.
