Id probably pick us over Ole Miss and Alabama. I admittedly havent looked very much into the other teams. But i think Ole Miss is in a situation like ours is plus finished rock bottom last season, and Alabama lost a lot in the transfer portal.
Agree. I think Mississippi is in even worse condition than we are. I don't think we finish last. But we won't be far from it.
Gin Blossoms: If you don't expect too much from me, you might not be let down.
Hines should be somewhere. He and Jordan are as good a 1-2 punch as anyone else
Apparently not. They're good. But there's a lot of good players in the SEC.
The point is he is an all sec caliber player so having just Jordan doesn’t really illustrate what kind of lineup we have. And some
You're thinking of the old UPI coaches poll in football. I would be surprised if the coaches aren't actually voting in the SEC preseason poll.
I get your point. But im sure there are other teams that have players that "just missed" being on it as well.
It happens all the time. We're talking 18-22 year olds, many of them (not Will Rogers) change a good bit in a year. Plus, other teams' guys graduate or get drafted. College athletics is a constant churn, so I have no idea why so many don't expect young teams to get better. That said......
No, it will suck, like you originally said. We really need to find out if Lemonis is an elite coach/recruiter or just another guy who made some good decisions in a few years when he had some talent. We don't need to go 3-4 years marred in mediocrity like Polk did, that kills the fanbase. Either suck and get a new coach or win big. Obviously we can't always control the outcome but we are talking ideals here.
Maybe because this one has gotten worse instead of better the last 2 seasons?
That's pretty much what I do with all the major sports.
2022 was an upper class team that got hit by injuries. 2023 was a truly young team. That team has now grown up some (hopefully). I mean I’m not gonna sit here and argue this vehemently but I’m just providing the other viewpoint.
Would disagree here. No way last year’s baseball season equates to a 6-6 football season. We were next to last in the SEC and had the worst pitching season in school history.
Look at the percentages man. We were 29-26, winning season. Not sure the SEC record but compare the percent wins vs 2-6 or 3-5 in football.
You aren’t factoring in the most important thing. State baseball has elite resources. State football does not. You can’t compare the two like that using straight math.
Fair enough. If he doesn’t host this year I’ll be right there with you.
That’s asinine comparing last year’s baseball debacle to a 6-6 football season.
That's an OOC schedule a coach who doesn't think he has a good team schedules.
I agree and it really ticks me off to see what is going on with our baseball program. Here we are a week from opening day and we don't have a published roster and are one of two teams that hasn't announced when the games will be played. Lemonis has got to go.
