How can we not finish in the top 5 and make the regionals on a consistent basis? These damn state schools in our conference make it easier with lower tuition.

Then we could have hired Augie's assistant coach George Horton who was just as good as Augie but let him get away to Oregon and we know what he did there. Then another Fullerton assitant, Dave Sarrano took UC Irvine to the college world series but we didn't hire him either. All three great baseball coaches and we didn't hire any one of them when we could have. All three could have had their pick of Southern California talent.... Garrett was a terrible AD!

However, I concur with your frustration over the current and long standing demise of our once grand baseball team. We did indeed, let several potentially great coaches, go elsewhere. And in the interim, LSU introduced gorilla ball which I detest and the college game hasn't quite been the same since.
