College baseball was very different in the 90s to what it is now. Skip was a fantastic coach but I don't believe he would have won 5 championships if this current format was used in the 90s along with the bats currently being used. I, for one, never expected this team to host a regional or super regional this year. I thought it was a rebuilding year at best. To garner a top 8 national seed and get this far was a top effort from the coaching staff and players. It is disappointing to lose 2 games back to back at home and not make it Omaha. I will take a loss in super regional to a Coastal Carolina team over a Tulane team where Skip lost in his last season after LSU won the first game in that SR.

Skip was a winner and it would not have mattered whether he needed gorilla ball or small ball to get the championship. He always made the right decisions with hitting and pitching.

Example: with Skip there is no way in hell Romero doesn't come to the plate with the bases juiced in the 9th
