6-2 for teams not named UGA. Just a bad luck draw for us in the supers.
We went 6-8 vs CWS teams this year
- Thread starter blacklistedbully
- Start date
Ah yes, I forgot to add the SR games vs UGA. Corrected.
4-0 Ole Miss
0-6 UGA
1-2 Texas
1-0 Troy
So, 6-8 vs CWS teams, still 6-2 vs those not named UGA.
You mean an on purpose draw. Most matchups are set up for the storyline. Ours was having to beat the team that had our number in the regular season to get to the CWS.
There was no effort to match up SEC teams. Just luck of the draw. There were only 3 non-SEC top 8 seeds for us and A&M regionals to match up with. They got North Carolina, we got Georgia. Same with the CWS, 4 SEC teams in one bracket was not the way it was drawn up. It was drawn up to get Auburn & Florida in one bracket and Georgia, Texas & Bama in the other.
Or 2-8 vs CWS teams not named Ole Miss
Don’t get swept by Tennessee and we aren’t having this discussion. Shitting the bed like that at home has consequences
Or 1-8 vs. teams in the CWS that were actually there to win it, and 5-0 against the CWS imposters.
Especially when every 17’n game was competitive to the very end. It just wasn’t our year when it came to Georgia.the odds of a college baseball team losing 6 out 6 games in 1 season to the same team is something like 1.6%
And I know few here care, but they’ve had some epic flameouts in recent years by good teams. Karma seems to be smiling on them this season.
Our games vs UGA were nothing like OM's games vs us. We could very easily have been 5-1 vs UGA. We played UGA almost dead even, but just fell a fraction short again & again.
Ole Miss was not competitive with us other than the game we won 5-4 (and we didn't have McPherson). We were clearly a MUCH better team than OM, while UGA was about as close as it gets on the field-of-play.

Damn, that's the 2nd time in this thread I made a mistake like that! Didn't get much sleep last night, so my brain is in an even greater fog than usual.
Fixed it. Thanks!
Again, could very easily have been 6-3, given the way we lost those games to UGA.
Well, that might have been true way back in March and early April.
Unfortunately, they were better when it truly mattered, and ended up having a better season to show for it.
Whoa....whoa....I'm on your team. I just dropped in the facts even though I look at it the same way you are explaining it. Context matters but so do facts.
Now, what's often overlooked is we lost McPherson on March 20th....that's when he left the game. We did go on to sweep Ole Miss but the GA & UT series were within 2-3 weeks of officially losing him.
Now, you've probably played team sports before and if so you know how deflating it can be when you feel like you've lost the man, the alpha, the Friday night SEC type guy. I believe that's part of what caused our funk but I could be wrong. Anyway, the way I see it, barring those two weeks Oak brought the team along at the right pace and if not for a bad luck match up (which it's easy to blame on a series that occurred within weeks of losing your guy) I think we make some real noise in the CWS.
