Friends and fellow M over S family,
Quit being so damn nervous. This program is just fine no matter what happens with the perennial bed shitters to our North. We should all use this rare postseason downtime to look deep within ourselves and exercise a little baseball self awareness. That’s what successful programs do. That’s what blue-bloods do. It’s time to shed a little arrogance and see reality, which is ******* terrifying.
There are 6 future SEC West schools mucking it up in Omaha, ALL of them filthy rich with good weather, ALL have gigantic fan bases, MOST have fan bases who familiarized themselves with the joys of college baseball in the past decade. ALL saw us do it first and are willing to spend the money it takes to catch up. ALL want to win just as bad as you and I do. In the past 2-3 years the sport has really taken off and the arms race has ramped itself up quickly. We’re a blue blood and have been for a long time, but if we don’t use this time to better our program, some of these teams will leave us in the dust before we can blink. Complacency is not an option anymore. I hope our administration understands the gravity of the situation, and the need for innovative, consistent, and well planned upgrades to our stadium and program in general. I now understand why people say winning a national championship just makes things more complicated.
Watching the super regionals from home, I decided I was going to be a better fan next season. That’s the only piece of this program I can control and make better. No reason to be arrogant if you can’t capitalize on success because there’s someone out there who will.
I love you all,
GOJ
