Great season without taking "injuries, etc..." into consideration. Swept Houston Classic, shared Big 12 regular season title, Big 12 Tourny semifinals, national seed and at the very least hosting a regional. Frogs are as well-positioned as they can be heading into the NCAA Tournament with every game at home 'til Omaha (if they can make it). Now they just need to rest up and play the games and see what happens. No need to be negative about this season.
Tournament was as positive as it could be without a four-win championship. Great starting pitching, secured national seed, won three games when Skoug gets only two hits in five games. Holding breath on Brown.
Still pissed we didn't start JJ or Howard 1st game....
He must be hurt - not showing up in UTA stats (on the roster).

Outstanding season, up to this point. I'll draw a comparison to hockey and my favorite team, 4-time Cup champs Pittsburgh. Got much further than anyone expected last year. Only the biggest Pens homer would have thought they had a chance to win the Cup last year. Even if they hadn't won last year, considering they fired their coach in December and used a goalie throughout the playoffs who never played an NHL game until February, a first round win would have been outstanding.
Flash forward to this year...preseason favorites to repeat. 19 returning players from last year. Veteran leadership. Two world class goalies. Then came the injuries. Then came the disappointing losses in games they had in the bag late. Sucks not to win the President's Cup but it's all about the post-season. Game 7 victory at Washington. Game 7 victory at home against Ottawa. Monday night they begin their quest to repeat. In February I would have told you this team needs some help and a lot of luck. Now cash dem outsigh, how bout dat?
Moral of the story: 1) Get to the tournament and ANYTHING can and will happen and 2) never underestimate the heart of a winner.
Outstanding season all things considered. Now it's time for the grownups to take the field. Go Damn Frogs.
Sorry..don't follow all the forums constantly; Phorm are you from Pittsburgh?
Thinking it's precautionary or maybe neck strain because it didn't appear concussion like
That girl got so far into his head he basically went Rick Ankiel on us. Hope he can pull a C Wan and turn a one and a half season slide around and return to form next year. I'll be surprised if he's still on the roster next year, though.Go back and look what he did last year, crazy good stats...I said all fall no way Lodolo would take his spot.
Biggest disappearing act I've ever seen.
