re: Men's College Baseball - Has this been a successful year?

Not really. The question before the season was would this team even lose double digit games-- not whether it was the best team in the country-- that was a given. We have the 2 best players in the country. We have a roster more talented than 6 MLB farm systems. We're losing our top 2 pitchers and 5-7 hitters. It's been 14 years since a national championship. We didn't win the SEC. We didn't win the SEC tournament. I can't envision a scenario in which not winning the national championship will be considered a successful season. I think the players would say the same thing. I'm not being negative about the 48-15 record thus far. I'm just saying, this team's season will transpire over what happens in the next 2 weeks-- not what's happened to this point. Going to Omaha was considered a given before the season started.

Going to Omaha and winning a title should always be a goal but should never be a given. It's been proven every single year that the best teams don't win and don't always make it. They made it. It's absolutely considered a successful season if you leave it all out there. Winning a title is hard. In no way is it considered a failure if they don't bring it back. Fans who think like this are sad. Take a second and consider having some perspective on the season. We aren't the only talented baseball team playing this coming weekend. To say it's championship or failure is pretty sad.
