While the end of the season was disappointing, dude… they won the SEC regular season championship. No easy feat. That in a transitional, new coach season.

I guess that's one way to look at it, but when you accomplish all that Texas accomplished, I didn't expect to lose how and who we did in the post season. My comment wasn't one of disappointment, more like one of deflation. Baseball has two seasons, it's unique in the sense it's not like football or basketball where all you have to do is win one game to move on. After the regular season and all the accolades they earned I expected more. That's all I'm saying.

Incredible season to win the SEC by 2 games. Won almost every 1 run game and most series.

 

We had some injuries that took a toll and we were not at our best for play offs. Look at power of SEC baseball in initial '26 rankings. Flying that championship flag from last year,  is meaningful

Too many late season arm injuries derailed the season unfortunately.

I forgot about how we lost our ace and pitching went down the drain. I stand corrected and maybe I was being a little to hard on the guys. 

It was still disappointing especially losing to UTSA in the regionals at home, but makes a little easier to stomach at least.

I agree the end of the season felt deflating, but man I’m pumped to see what this season brings 

I think most of us knew they were over achieving during the year, but we just didn’t expect them to burn out against UTSA

Expectations going in were middle of the conference finish. The team overachieved all year long. They were fun to watch and played hard all year long. They ran out of gas at the end of the season but underwhelming was not how to describe last year.

Honestly they should have burnt out a little before. The fact they did what they did last year was amazing.

I never read any of the write ups after UTSA whooped our butts but what was the reason for them handling us so thoroughly? It seemed like they knew what pitches were coming

I think Texas should be in a better position for a deeper run. But it's a long season and injuries are part of sports. I'm not going to predict Omaha but I'm really looking forward to seeing how this seasons team comes together.

Definitely going to have more top end depth on the mound this year.

IMO, Texas just ran out of gas. Injuries piled up. That’s why I say it’s crazy they made it as far as they did. It should have happened earlier.

Kinda surprising to hear that guys like Grubbs and Riojas are not penciled in to the rotation. Sounds like there's some guys like Flores who made big strides in the offseason. Sounds like at this point Volantis will be the Friday night starter.

Surprising in a good way (for me at least). Shows the staff thinks the young guys have made enough of a jump to surpass them.
