Will play Luisville in the Super Regionals for a shot at Omaha and the College World Series.
Not bad for those kids from Cobb County
Makes me feel a lot better about losing to them during the season

Good for them. What in the heck happened to UGA baseball?

One of my roommate's friends went on and on one day about how bad our baseball program sucked and how KSU's program was far superior with vastly more talent. While knowing this was true, I had enough of it after a while.
I explained to him that KSU had never done a damn thing in the postseason and less than a decade ago we were stalwarts in NCAA tourney with a 2nd place finish. I told him while they may have had more talent, most of that was due to us not being able to get our more talented guys actually on campus (MLB draft). I told him that in a 3 game series with each team's top 3 pitchers throwing (not a BS midweek game) that I wasn't convinced they could take 2 of 3 from us. i told him they played in the Atlantic Sun or some bullshite conference while the SEC was annually one of the top NCAA baseball conferences.
Yes, I was talking out of my arse, but I actually had this guy backpedaling: "Well, I didn't know all that about our signees. I didn't even know how successful we were a few years before I got to Athens (it was his 3rd year in Athens and my 8th, so Gordon Beckham, Josh Fields, etc. were in my time)."
I concluded by saying that until KSU made some postseason noise against a team from a legitimate conference, then they would never be superior in my eyes.
Well, frick, I hope I don't see him again.

UGA, Tech, the GSU twins, etc. better get used to KSU winning. In a county with over 700,000 people, in a hotbed of baseball, KSU is on the rise. Across the board they can't compete right now, but baseball and women's soccer should be dominant sports for them.

Real talk they need to rename KSU.
Nobody will take them seriously until they have a normal arse name
