He's coming around. So losing to Florida 100% of the time in the postseason is actually an issue and is no longer random. Baby steps.

Sure, but I also know that going 1-8 wouldn't have mattered. Or 2-8.

Advancing is what matters.

Who cares if the 2011 team had beaten Florida in extra innings that one time? They still likely would've lost the Regional. Or if they beat Louisville in 2013 when the game was tied in the 8th?

Irrelevant.

You're the same guy who whined about losing one game to Columbia and Boston College.

So you're only grateful if it's one of the greatest 15 year runs in the sport?

If it's 25 years with 1,000+ wins, 13 CWS Appearances, a perfect 7-for-7 mark when a national seed, a 14-2 record in home Regionals....

It sucks?

Have some perspective for once.

Lies. He would have had a great run in the first 15 years with even less than that. The last ten years, though..........

So in a post where you dismiss sample size, you then proceed to prove that you don't understand randomness/sample size.

Yeah, randomness and sample size. There you go deflecting again. You're determined to prop up 2015 and 2016 no matter how mediocre those seasons were.

I'm also the same guy who wondered why we couldn't beat a higher seed one single time in ten years. But now that you're on board that we declined as a program, that's no longer a source of debate. We were the lesser team for ten years, every single time.

But I thought a one game sample size is completely random. If we manage to win a game in Gainesville or Louisville to force a deciding game, wouldn't we have a 50/50 shot of advancing?

Three ACC teams get eliminated on their home field: random; small sample size.

But Miami would have no shot in Gainesville in game three of a Super Regional. The better team wins.

How is this deflecting?

You clearly don't understand those concepts which is comical since you keep smashing into the same sliding glass door.

You'd think that you would at least try to educate yourself after years of whiffing on this.

Miami in game three of a Super Regional: probably won't win. Florida is better.

The ACC, which is the "best conference", gets completely shut out in Omaha while three tops seeds lose at home: it's random. The better team doesn't always win.
 
Clemson blows a national seed at home: random. Small sample size.

Miami in a game three at Florida: no shot. Better team wins at home.

"There are high expectations because it's a good program."
"The people who had high expectations in 2017 were delusional."

This is what I'm dealing with.

This is among your dumbest arguments and always has been.

The reason the 2011 and 2013 teams were in those positions was because they didn't have good enough regular seasons to deserve a better draw. But what makes you truly unique is that when they did deserve the better draw (2015, 2016) you whined that they played easy competition!

How is it that you don't seem to understand how any of this works?

For the millionth time, programs (and coaches) don't make a living winning road regionals at national seeds.

Random simply means unpredictable.

How is it that you still don't know what it means? It's stunning, really.

Why is Miami the only team that can't ever win against a higher seed? Road teams win all over the place, every year.

Except, of course, for the coaches who went on the road to play ACC teams in 2016.

Then why wouldn't it be important to win game 2 at Gainesville in a Super Regional? You literally said that it doesn't matter if we win game two since Florida is probably going to win game three.

Next sentence: Baseball is random, unpredictable.

I never said that (shocking) and 2011 was a Regional. Not a Super Regional.

But in 2010 (which as actually a Super Regional) we definitely would've had a chance in game 3 because we had a good club.

Something that you will certainly deny and claim was mediocre or worse.
