Welcome to a fall season episode of this week in UNC baseball.

I'm Tommy Ashley, we're sponsored by Johnny T-shirt and Congruity.

Thank you. That there is head coach Scott Forbes of the 24 Omaha Bound College World Series, North Carolina Tar Heels. Scott, great season last year. It didn't end exactly like you wanted, but it ended

in Omaha, which is never a bad thing. But does that even matter at this point as you head into the fall season?

Because Hope Springs Eternal and every season's different, you've got a lot of different pieces

this year.

Yeah, no doubt.

It definitely matters.

Anytime you finish the season in the college, you know, baseball pinnacle, getting to the

College World Series is so difficult. The longer you coach, the more you realize how difficult

it is. Some of my best friends in coaching have coached a really long time and haven't even

made it to a super regional. so I don't take that for granted

momentum helps you the guys coming back got that that experience of being in Omaha so they want

to experience that every year they are here and that's very powerful obviously it's a new team it's a new challenge uh but you know

there's nothing there is something better than the falls in chapel hill that's going to omaha in june

for us but they're still pretty special and we enjoy those as well a couple questions about

just sort of peeking back what What did you learn most about yourself

and what did you learn that you may have not already known about your team in those last

couple weeks of the season where you had such a thrilling wins across the board?

And I don't want you to leave out what you learned about yourself, but just sort of go from

there because I always find it interesting how, you know, failure creates growth, but success

can too.
