Should Kentucky hold on to win the SEC title these 2 weekends

[Coach34]

That would mean since 1990:

Kentucky 2 SEC Season titles

State 1

#StateStandard

If we are nit-picking stats - how many hot dog eating contests have they won since 1975?

But really.....

Yeah. It's not even worth discussing.

[BrokerDawg]

There is a lot of dumbassery on this board but this comparison may be one of the dumbest yet. #tryhardernexttime34

[Coach34]

Good- got the responses I expected. Glad you guys are admitting to all the dumbass posts and asshatery we had during this season with all the "State Standard" posts early on in the SEC when things hadnt even gotten halfway into the season. That "State Standard" crap was just that a month ago (yes- it was only a month ago)

What happens in the postseason matters. Appreciate you guys

I hope you get laid this weekend, I think it would help* LOL

[Quaoarsking]

How convenient to start the window the year after we won the SEC

[Brobi-wan]

LMAO this regular season champs stuff reminds of all the Tennessee BS over the last few years. Mustard throwing POS fanbase.

[BrunswickDawg]

1990 marks the first time an SEC team won a natty. You can argue that it woke up the other schools to baseball and established a new era leading the SEC to being the top conference.
Since then all but 3 schools have an SEC title (Auburn, A&M, and Mizzou) and 7 schools have won nattys.

Looks like a hell of a Standard was set before bucket butt arrived. And it is His job to maintain it! Not create a new standard of 1 really good season followed by 2 sucky ones, then start all over!

All of that still actually equals exactly 1 SEC championship and 1 national championship since 1990, 34 years. Anything else listed about that after that date is just patting yourself on the back trying real hard to make you feel better about what you are. We are upper middle of the road with great facilities and fantastic fan support. Fan support mostly due to it being a social outing. Spin it however you will it is what it is.

So making it to Omaha is just a pat on the back. Cool. Noted.

You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to Coursesuper again.

Hit the nail on the head. Teams that have had the same, or more Omaha appearances (5) during the same time frame: TCU (6), Louisville (5), FSU (6), UNC (7), Arkansas (7). That's just to name a few that are in that same boat as us, good to occasionally great programs. I could've added Florida, Vandy, LSU, Oregon St, etc. But they are all on the level above us because they have multiple national championships.

[Coursesuper]

There are no trophies awarded for getting on the field, it's a great year, but it is what it is. All this "Standard" bullshit is just that. We are a school that has to fight for every resource and bust its ass just to compete in a very very tough league that if you haven't noticed just got a lot tougher. So I'm glad for you that it makes you feel better about your school and yourself. Good on you.

People big mad.

I pointed out about how after all offseason of hearing we were gonna suck- We were 5th in the SEC. Lemon haters came back with this "State standard" BS saying 5th was nothing to brag about and was below our standard.

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.

Adding Texas and Oklahoma next year makes this conference insane in baseball. But because we grill in the outfield during games- we supposed to stay Top 5 no matter what

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.
