People need to stop acting like losing midweeks is something unique or new to this season and Lemonis.
1992 was my first on campus season. We had a solid team that went 40-22/15-9 and hosted.

I watched us lose to Bellhaven (NAIA), William Carey (NAIA), South Alabama, Mississippi College (DII), La Tech, Jackson State (SWAC), and North Alabama (DII) all in the same season. That's with our HOF coach in his 19th season.
We lost 13 OOC games that year. We had no business playing NAIA or DII schools - and we lost. Baseball is just a weird sport where those things happen.
