Rollercoaster Baseball

Think I heard Bryan use that 'description' on the B&B Show this morning but it sure describes this team, this season and this weekend perfectly.

I had doubts after the 1st game loss in Tallahassee but the team kept finding a way.

Head to Vandy and win the 1st game in a heart stopping walkoff .. lose the 2nd in another walkoff .. up by 3 in the 9th in deciding game .. only to get tied .. endure extras as the visitor when 'any' mistake loses it .. go up in the 11th .. Stovall adds insurance .. walk the 1st batter.

Endure ~30 innings of the 'whistler' .. play at the crappest venue in the SEC .. live through the epitome of worthless officiating .. players that you think you can count on, let you down and players come through in heroic fashion.

Don't know when I have been prouder of a MSU team. To reach Omaha after the adversity they faced is one of the most remarkable feats in MSU sports history.

I’m the first to admit I wrote their asses off after the first week and didn’t pay any attention until late April. Improbable does not even begin to describe it.

If you go back to March 31st, we had lost 9 of 13 including Ls to Nichols and SE Louisiana. I believe that we were 14-15 overall, our lineup was a mess, and I don’t know what the postseason odds would have looked like at that point, but I think it’s safe to say that most didn’t think this team had a prayer.

To now be headed to Omaha is mind blowing, and no matter what happens from here, this group has made it a season to remember

I was in and out on keeping up with the team. U guys kept me up to speed more than anything. More than anything I remember the chatter about what it would take to just make post season much less make it to Omaha. At that point it was pretty dismal and seemed to rely on beating Florida which was not happening at the time.

I was off and on all season. It seemed whenever I would go back to watching, they would look awful. I figured I was bad luck. Whenever I stopped watching, they would win. I'm the anti-juju!

Yep. That's when the season turned around. Since April 1, we've been one of the best teams in the nation. 27-12 overall, 13-8 SEC, 6-2 in NCAA postseason games.

All I can say is- I have doubted this team too many times this year. I have to admit it. I am done with doubting them now. Let's just go ahead and win the whole enchilada.
