1977 baseball - started 3-7 and rode a 31 game win streak to regionals
Back-2-back regional berths in1976 & 1977. Regional field was equivalent to super regionals now. Team was struggling at start of 77 season, but rode the 2nd longest win streak in college baseball history to go back. Joining Big East killed chances to go back as only the conf champ made it and FSU knocked us out in early 80s (despite VT having 2 teams with 50+ wins). It's the 50 year anniversary of those 76-77 teams, so just win, baby.
