No doubt. Lost the first game of a Regional, Super, or in the CWS and suddenly you're on the chopping block.

For example.

the 2000 Gamecock baseball team was 55-8 (25-5) going into the Supers.

In contrast our 2010 title team, while having a good record (21-9 in conference play) had to actually travel for the Supers.

Apples and oranges here but our softball team was 63-2 (25-1) going into the 1997 WCWS. Lost our 2 games there and were eliminated.

Don't get me wrong. The Aggies should be excited about this year and at this rate they're more than a lock for a top 8 seed which is huge in getting to Omaha. But I've seen some mighty teams crumble.
