That's an Omaha contender basically.

The reality is no college baseball team in the modern era has ever gone 56-0 and then run through the postseason undefeated. That would mean we went 69-0 if we did that. And before anyone says it- yes that would be nice. This team will not go undefeated either. Doesn't mean I'm settling for average by saying that.

Believe me I want to win National Championships worse than probably anyone, want to be a national seed and host all the way, win the SEC Tournament, win the SEC, win the Governor's Cup, and win the most prestigious preseason tournament that is out there. But like Mississippi coaching legend Stacy Hester said once- all it takes is a ball to hit a rock on the infield and that can be the difference in a win or a loss sometimes. And he has gone undefeated before- so he knows.
I’m not knocking you. I understand and I agree. I’m a huge fan of your baseball takes. I just can’t say “I hope to only win one game of any series”. Just letting out some frustration with alums, leadership, etc. that think “pretty good” is good enough.
