Good listen as always:

They are. And have been. Now perhaps the risk when scheduling Uconn or the lack of national respect when it comes to seeding and tournaments will begin to dissipate.

If you schedule a 3 game series against Uconn at home in the SEC or ACC or B12 no longer will it be a knock. Beating Uconn in a series is now worth it. Regionals in Storrs happening, not sure how else otherwise.

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.

The defense was superb!

That was one if not the most difficult regional brackets. Great win.

 

[Husker Husky]

Call them small conference sure - they were a 2 seed.

Not sure about Indiana or Illinois, but Husker hitters were uncharacteristically undisciplined. Everyone went up to the plate with one thing in mind. Trotting around the bases with their fist in the air at that bandbox. It didn't matter what the situation was. You could count on one hand the number of times they followed the ball all the way to the bat. Their pitchers also picked a bad time to crap the bed.

Lack of depth was also a factor. It always is.

The only thing better than beating the home team in a tourney is.......... beating them twice.

 

[The Viking]

When asked to discuss the successes over the past 10+ years, he dove right in to talking about the portal starting while they are still playing (again, I'll never know why they just can't wait to open the portal until the season has completed), and the fact they need more NIL money and hoping this run opens some peoples eyes in CT who have some money.

Who were previously unbeaten at home, no less.

Who were previously unbeaten at home, no less.

And UConn hit more homers which was shocking to me.

10:00 minute is NIL discussion:
