Some people are raising the bar

You may be right, but just "making the tournament" is an extremely low standard for our baseball program and it's sad that so many of you are willing to be pleased with that. You make it sound the same as making the tournament in basketball, and of course it isn't. Hosting is our standard. Beyond that I accept the results of wherever we go, but not having post-season baseball at Dudy Noble for 3 years in a row is not acceptable. If we go on the road for a regional this year, Lemonis better damn well give us something more than that. A super regional at least.

Getting in should be good enough. It always has been at State because before him we never won a title. Making the Tourney was enough. If you keep making the Tourney you will advance from time to time- as we have done in our baseball history. We only have 10 CWS appearances in the last 45 years.

Now he makes it this year- keeps his job. He misses the Tourney next year? He needs to be fired- thats 3 misses in 4 seasons. Getting in this year doesnt start everything over. But getting in is the standard at State. Not some made up arbitrary view of Tourney success.

I agree with this post

I just want to point out that there aren't very many teams that have been to Omaha that many times the past 45 years. We're tied for 12th all time as far as CWS appearances go. With the vast majority coming since 1990.

Which is why for me our standard is making a SR. If you do that you are an elite team by today's standards. The NC raised our standards because before 2021 there were many that didn't believe we would ever win one.
