    What are the rankings of our opponents to date? I know St. Marys was 304 of 305 when we swept them.

    This is a perfect example of the mindset that has held State back for so long. Instead of comparing our teams to winners and seeking to improve our fanbase and big boosters compare our teams to losers and make excuses. Until we filter that out of our fanbase and boosters we will remain at the bottom of the conference.

    We are not at the bottom of the conference. We won the CWS 3 years ago

    I've heard that some of the smaller schools are teaching Drivers Ed and Sex Ed in the same car.

    Been teaching/coaching 28 plus years. I teach US History(one for lower level students) which is state tested. Also, coach football and baseball without an off period. I know some coaches like some of y'all speak. They give us all a bad name, and are useless as teats on a boar hog. They aren't smart, barely certified, but because of who their daddy or uncle is get jobs they aren't certified for and suck at it. Off my soapbox now.

    To get us back on topic, I do not give a rats ass what our non conference SOS, RPI, Net, Nitty Gritty, PWI, SVQ, or whatever the hell metric they decide is important this year. It is very simple, perform in conference play against actual teams and we will make the tournament. Fail to perform and we will have a coaching search in May.

    This is what it all boils down too. I guess that's why i don't have much angst about it. It'll all resolve itself. We either win or we have a new head coach next year. Pretty simple.
