LOL. It was in top of 5th with trick play. 12-6 bottom 5.

I want us winning many more games this year, but to me rewarding Lemonis for so many losses this season that might have cost us better seeding is really sad.
We have 10 of 14 SEC teams typically getting in the tournament each year.
And we reward the coach for just not finishing 11th or 12th in the conference.
meh- only gotten 10 teams in 4 out of the last 10 years
We arent going to finish freaking 10th. We are top half of the SEC. Right where we've been the last 30 years
And I'll add- nobody is going to want to face us in a Regional with our 2 SP's. Plus we have Auger really coming on now as a 3rd option.
Huge win today. Needed it. Glad to see the team step up. Let?s do it again tomorrow
If we can take care of business in the governors cup and win 2 of 3 against Bama and 2 of 3 against Mizzou we are in a regional. Puts us at 15-15 and I doubt they leave a SEC team out with that record
I'm thinking 13. Our RPi is 35 right now. The only opponent with a worse RPI going forward is Mizzou at 90. Again I highly doubt we play North Alabama.
Win and our RPI goes up. Lose and we really won't take too much damage. It's probably going to take us tanking including losing 2/3 to Mizzou to keep us out.
We're probably closer to hosting than we are not making it.
Vandy has exact same Sec record as us, 11-9. Biggest game of the year for us and them.
Yeah- I don't get fans worried about next year. Especially with the portal.
One thing I have learned about the draft is it's never as bad as it could be or as good as it could be. It seems like every year I have MSU fans tell me that all of our players and recruits are going pro and it never is like that.
100% right. It seems like theirs more negative about next year than enjoying this year. You know like i do at the college level the team is generally gonna be vastly different every year. We've got a good core of position players and lot of good pitching returning. Get some in the portal and go from there. And like you said the draft is never as bad or good as folks make out. I'm just enjoying this year for now.
Great comment CC24, and I am guilty of pointing out the rebuild next year if we were to lose Chance and Mershon also. I think the past 2 seasons and seeing squandered chances this year started to piss me off about Lemonis. I want Lemonis to build, and for us to keep our CWS winning coach and see more success.
Parker has made the biggest difference, not Lemonis. Next year I am already catching myself telling friends "I trust Parker to have our pitching staff strong". When is the last time we said that about Lemonis.
So...I want to see us go on a heck of a run this season, and use it to get portal players. We need it. Maybe you guys that know the program better can say if Lemonis has changed to the good on being involved or not.
Great post and Man I can understand completely where you're coming from! These last 2 years have been huge disappointments and I can understand why people have angst with Lemonis.
Parker is so good. As Earl weaver used to say if you ain't got pitching you ain't got squat. Parker has totally rebuilt our pitching staff and letting kids use their strengths. Obviously we've had some growing pains but guys are getting better now worse and that's the sign of Parker and the players making adjustments.
I know we all just want our program to be elite again and hopefully we're back on track.
