From The Bubble to Tallahassee. A long, but fruitful journey.

idk, it seemed to me like the analysts believed we were locks anyways.

I am ready for FSU. Hopefully 3rd time is the charm in Super Regionals.

Please!!! I'd love to see them make the CWS. How funny would it be in maybe one of the more adversity-filled seasons in quite a while is when we finally break through for the first time since the late-70s?

Really wished we threw Sully there. Ideally we beat FSU game 1 with Cooke, and can save Quiggers until game three.

Beating Oklahoma by 6 on the road and complaining about pitcher usage is truly first world problem territory. Cannot believe we reached a Super Regional and am prepared to ride with this team till I die.

Afthim was sick. Same stuff Garbo had. Him and Quinn were both up in the 9th just in case.

I have YouTube TV, and it's a disaster when it comes to recording something that's not listed accurately in the system's channel guide. There's really no practical work-around, because you can't just record what's playing live on some channel and be confident it'll still be there when you go to watch it later. YTTV will delete it and replace it with another "recording" of the program that was listed in the channel guide. I learned that with the UConn men's basketball coverage on channel 3 when they returned from the airport after winning natty #6.
 
I will be so happy to go to bed before midnight tonight. But I won’t be going to bed nearly as amazed as I have been going to sleep. Unbelievable that we got 3 out of 4 starts of that quality. :Unbelievable that we played defense like we did without any errors until the 36th inning. And unbelievable that, in a regional of that quality, Korey Morton was the best player in the field.

we have some internal questions to answer before even worrying about FSU. Can we get rid of the damn flu bug and be healthy? Ryan Hyde will not deliver his share of offense, but the way he handled the staff can you possibly go back to Garbo? Do we give Simmons more chances and sit Studley, at least against righty starters?

A lot for Penders and staff to deal with, but the bottom line is they pushed enough buttons for us to be going to a Super Regional, while folks like me thought there was no realistic chance of it.

Unexpected or not, what a run to get to the Supers. Solid pitching and some timely hitting, add in some confidence and it’s off to FSU.

No matter the outcome, as a fan, it’s a freeroll. Completely satisfied with getting there given how long it took to figure out this roster. But they did. I’m all about taking the next step to the CWS but this is a successful season and I hope they capitalize in the off-season.
 
Still have the Supers this season, however, the 25’ core, on both sides, especially the pitching can be set up for a regular season run to host a regional should 3 key arms and the core bats plus Padilla decide to come back. This year’s run should be extremely helpful when adding thru HS or portal.
