Message: [QUOTE="huskymedic, post: 4537538, member: 549"] [MEDIA=twitter]1625901803807072256[/MEDIA] -> … A program that finished better than sixth in its conference only once in the first six years of Penders’ tenure is now a heavy favorite to make it five straight trips to a regional and not an outlandish pick for Omaha. <- -> “I wouldn’t say just Omaha. Coach preaches every day that our goal isn’t to make Omaha. Our goal is to come back from Omaha with the wins and to win a national championship,” Huber said. If the Huskies do it, they will likely do it relying on underclassmen from the Northeast or transfers getting their first taste of Division I, much like last year’s team that fell one win short of the CWS. Many of these Huskies, however, remember how close they came and what it must take to get there. “The last game David Smith played was a game for Omaha. The last game Bryan Padilla played. T.C. Simmons, Korey Morton, Matt Garbowski, Ian Cook—the last game they played was knocking down the door to go for the grand prize,” MacDonald said. “There’s a lot of guys back who are hungry for that grand prize.” <- [/QUOTE]
