First time in program history to ever get to Omaha.

So I was always selling the hell out of this place to recruit saying,

Hey, we're going to do things that have never been done in program history before.

And that was really easy 10 years ago when we hadn't been to a regional.

We're going to do things that have never been done.

Win a Big 12 title.

We're going to go to a regional for the first time in 20 years.

Our first super regional.

We're going to host for the first time since 1965.

I'm starting to run out of shit to say, really.

But pretty soon you got to go win a national title, right?

So this program hasn't done that.

So we firmly believe that we're capable of doing that here.

And there's everywhere's got obstacles.

You guys know, like every school, there's more money, there's more whatever, but everywhere's got their issues.

And so what we got is unbelievable facilities.

beautiful people, the best fan base in the country, and really good recruiting around this area.

West Virginia is not exactly ripe for recruiting.

There are not enough folks here, right?

It's 1.8 million people in the whole state.
