When you point our that our "standard" is really about 5th in the SEC and Kentucky is about to surpass us in recent SEC titles- ohhhhh well suddenly its not about the regular season finish. Now we have to change metrics to postseason success. All while ignoring Lemon is the King of postseason success at State

Gotta love State fans.
The notoriety State baseball has is from post season successes, i.e. CWS apperances, regional championships, etc.. Our regular season sec titles and success pale in comparison to our post season success. Baseball is different. Winning SEC titles in football is awesome. Winning SEC titles in baseball, while awesome, is not the same as football. Post season is where a baseball coach makes his mark. Sure you have to have regular season success to get to post season but finishing in the top 3 or 4 doesnt mean anything if you can't have success in the tournament. Heck om was the last team taken 2 years ago and won it all. Would that ever happen in football or basketball? Nope, heck in basketball if a 16 or 15 seed beats a 1 or 2 seed it's considered a historic event.

ETA and you're right the goal post for Lemonis this year has been ever moving.
