If we keep improving, yeah a super or regional host looks possible this year.

If any program can go from so bad to hosting regional, MSU is one of them. Just being reasonable, we are a two year climb up from the bottom of pit because that is where we have been.
I completely disagree with this. Being awful for two years should not lower our bar for Lemonis; if anything it should raise it. Yes, it takes time to build something up. But he has had more than enough time to build it. Barely making the tournament once in 3 years is terrible. I would need to see a very good year with a SR to actually be on board with him remaining our coach. Obviously it will not take that in reality for him to stay, and that is fine. But the bar actually needs to be raised, not lowered.

If you win a national title, you get a pass for a while, as we have seen. Well, if you do the opposite, you should not get a pass. You should have to do more to prove you are still worth keeping.
