One week ago, our collective mental states were in a much better place. State was waiting patiently to play the winner of Stanford and Vanderbilt, feeling as though they had a clear path to the CWS Finals. Then it all went sideways.
I have no plans on rehashing all that went down on Friday morning and beyond…
What should have been memories of a lifetime, turned into the “What If” of this State fandom’s generation. We felt disrespected and hoodwinked by the big brother organization. Some of us watched the remainder of the games, although I suspect, it was simply to ensure one school in particular was not crowned king.
