[QUOTE="CINCYMETJACKET, post: 585998, member: 4003"] Interesting to me that you pick 2000-2005 as your postseason "collapse" years. I started following Tech baseball in spring 1996 when I started grad school, and for the first few years Tech was a regional participant in a 6 team regional on someone else's field that never advanced to the CWS. If I recall correctly, 2000 was Tex's 2nd year when he was the player of the year, we hosted a super at RCS and lost to USC. Was disappointed at the time, but we faced a couple of pitchers named Mark Prior (who pitched in the world series for the Cubs later that year or the next, I believe) and Rik Currier who was drafted by the Yankees. Not a collapse. Sometimes you just get beat by great pitchers. The next year, 2001, ranked #1 to start the year. Tex broke his ankle against Elon (I was there) in game 6 to 8? Tech played reasonably well throughout the season, Mark returned in a series at UNC (again, I was there and he hit a BOMB), but couldn't put it together and lost to Coastal and UGA in a regional in Athens (I was there). Don't have as detailed memories about the following years, but we made the CWS in 2002 and in 2006. We had some tough losses in the CWS in those years, so if you want to claim those as "collapses", more power to you. But I would say that the 2000 to 2005 (or 2006) time frame were the glory years of Tech baseball. [/QUOTE]
