When Jim Schlossnagle left TCU to become Texas A&M head coach in 2022, many skeptics in the Lone Star State criticized the move as the Horned Frogs “program was ahead” of the Aggies.
“It was an incredible night,” Schlossnagle said postgame Sunday. “The 12th Man was amazing. Obviously super proud of our players for all of the adversity we’ve been dealt in the last 48 hours, actually the whole week, between Hayden getting banged up a little bit, Braden going down, whatever happened to Shane today. Guys just kept playing and the 12th Man played a huge role in that.
“I definitely want to congratulate Oregon on a great season, unbelievable opponent to play, incredibly well-coached. Coach Was is a very dear friend and his team was more than prepared to do this. Congratulations to them on a great season.
“I couldn’t be anymore proud of these two guys, (Schott & Sorrell). I’m just honored to be here and to get back to the pearly gates of college baseball: Omaha, Nebraska.”
Following this season, it’s safe to say that Texas A&M is the better team overall after clinching its second College World Series appearance in three years under Schlossnagle.
