In a previous post I claimed that not winning 3 of our last 6 conference games would be a "melt down." According to that definition, and pretty much every other reasonable definition, we melted down. I should be hardened to this ending. It is one, as and Aggie, I know well. The media hypes us up a bit, we buy into it and start making claims about going .500 in our last 6 games and then we crash and burn. But maybe this one was worst. Day 1: A VERY bad ninth inning (2 runs off 1 hit) gives them a road win. Day 2: An unearned run in 8th gives them series and the Big-12 title. Day 3: They crush us in a game where they really had nothing left to play for. Childress is a coach, so he says things like "a new season starts tomorrow and we're 0-0 right now."

All of that said, it was a great season for us. After missing the Big-12 tournament the past two years, we finished 5th in conference at 13-13. The first game is against Nebraska. We won 2 of 3 in a home series against Nebraska this year.

Our women beat Houston twice in a row, 13-2 and 5-0, to win their regional. We will host Floria in the super regional this weekend.
