Florida Baseball Old Takes Exposed: Plenty were wrong about the Gators
When the NCAA Tournament field was announced last week, Florida Baseball drew the most ire of any team in the country as many felt the Gators weren't worthy of a spot in the field.
After making their way through the loser's bracket of the Stillwater Regional and knocking off 11th seed Oklahoma State to secure a spot in Super Regionals, it's time to hit the flashback machine to see just how wrong America was about the Gators.

Just goes to show with a little hard work and being a game over .500, you too can make the tournament when your AD is on the selection committee.

Helps to have the AD on the committee. What a sham.

Getting bounced 0-2

Least deserving team. Sickening.

It’s a joke Florida makes the tournament with a 28-27 record, but I digress

Nebraska is coming out of this regional. Florida 0-2 to finish with a losing record.

They're is no reason that uf should have made the tournament.

Unbelievable. 13-18 in conference and committee thinks they deserve in the field.

Horrible, horrible look

Absolute joke, but completely expected. It’s like the head coaches in the SEC drew up their own regionals. Even in baseball it’s all about looking out for the SEC. I’m sure SECESPN made sure of that.

There are countless other tweets we could surface as well as countless comments on platforms like Reddit who didn't feel the Gators should have been in the tournament.
Whatever helps people sleep at night because the Florida Gators are off to Super Regionals against Clemson.
