Dan McDonnell is setting his sights high for Louisville baseball.

“When a young man commits to the University of Louisville, he knows we’re trying to win championships. The goal is to get to Omaha. More than than ever, I’m talking about winning it. When we get to Omaha, I want our kids to be prepared. I don’t want to get to Omaha, take a deep breath and say, okay, we accomplished our goal.”

In other words, the coach wants his team to win the College World Series.

The 2010 baseball season begins for U of L Friday at 2 p.m. against Bowling Green University, defending champs of the Mid Atlantic Conference. Thanks to Shannon over at Cardinal Dominance for the video snippet:
