First and foremost if you ever get the chance to go to a CWS  do it-you will love it.  If you like college baseball and want to rub shoulders with real college sports fans then Omaha is the place to be. We met some really  great people from South Carolina, Arkansas and Alabama who wanted to know more about SBU. The folks from South Carolina knew all about us from football and winning the Big South last season and congratulated us for football and baseball. These are the same folks that have a two time national champion baseball team. No attitudes, no looking down their noses , they were true fans. I cant  say enough about the people of Omaha a really great bunch and most had SBU gear on.
   As for the game with UCLA as you saw it was disaster I really felt for our guys. The worst time to go into a total slump was then. I would have traded three losses to UMBC for a better showing.  But we had a great run and drew plenty of attention just getting there.
  Big question now is will our drafted juniors go pro or will Carmona , Tissenbaum and Jankowski stick around one more season to try and repeat ?  If they stay and with our three super freshman and a good class coming in we could just be back in the hunt in 2013. I wouldn't blame them if they go for the money but minor league ball has alot of pitfalls.  But Im proud for our team and the instant fame it brought to the school and our athletic department.  Hopefully a few our guys will return as Cantwell did this year.
