I don't have vandy and lsu expectations. I expect to make a regional every year, a super regional every 2-3 years, and be in the CWS every 4-5 years

It doesn't matter what your expectations are. The point is Vandy and LSU are two programs that have both been considerably more successful than we have over the past decade (and in LSU's case more like the past 2 decades) and have built themselves into college baseball super powers. Whether anyone who still thinks its 1985 wants to admit it or not, they are both solidly above us in the pecking order right now in terms of the talent they have been able to bring in and overall program stature. And even they would be having the same struggles with what we have been dealing with in terms of injuries and turnover in the roster and coaching staff. Its not the end of the world if we tank this year, as a lot of really unusual circumstances have had to align perfectly for this current shit storm to ensue. I'll start judging Cannizaro and this staff in 2018, but not before then unless we somehow do make a regional this year. If that happens, we need to take the current highest salary for a college baseball coach, double it, then write him a check.
