So, I don't know of I would call them a "great" team, which is the point to which I was referring.

You are arguing semantics at best. That was a very talented team who won a regional @Miami and then came in Alex Box and took 2 from LSU. They beat LSU despite having the unfortunate circumstances (rain) of facing Gausman to close out game 1 (extras) and in game 2.

I'd consider getting to Omaha the mark of a great team, especially in their fashion. Not to mention they went 21-3 in conference play and 43-11 overall, which was the best record in the NCAA. They had 7 players drafted in the 2012 draft alone

As for the rest of your post, that's a non sequitur in respect of my point.

You didn't make a point. You posted a fact then didn't expand on your "point" at all. And it really isn't. I'd consider last year's team to be a great team, yet 1-2 in Omaha.

Crazy thing about the term "great" is that it has different meanings to different people.
