A lot of pressure this year. It's going to be tough to watch this team on the road for regionals.

Tough as it may be, I'd welcome the improvement*

I hope it turns out to be right but preseason college baseball polls are usually pretty bad at predicting success top to bottom. I just can't figure out what its based on. Sure we had a good recruiting class but we've supposedly had those for the last few years and that yielded us a dead last finish in the SEC and the only team to finish with single digit conference wins last year. It is very interesting looking at this poll that we are the only team in the top 40 that posted a losing record last year.

I am very anxious about this upcoming year after last seasons unmitigated disaster. I don't know if our AD shares this sentiment but I believe Cohen should be coaching for his job this season. Unfortunately roundball does not appear likely to provide much of a diversion in the run up to the season.

I'm certainly in watch and see mode. I feel confident that our pitching staff will be one of the better staffs in the country. However, Cohen needs to improve the offense. I wouldn't be shocked to see this team barely get in a regional but at the same time I could see this team hosting. I do believe our pitching will give us a chance against anyone.

Me too. Nothing would surprise me from this team. From CWS appearance to a repeat of last season. I do think if we miss a regional, it's time to move on to a new coach.

Only team in top 40 with a losing record last year. Must really be viewing last year as an anomaly.

 

[MaroonNation]

I'll assume that is #11 in the SEC.

How many uniform combinations will we see by the end of February.

If State doesn't host this year, I'd support that.

You would support firing the most successful baseball coach we have had in the past four years because of something he can't control?

Al Davis said it best, "Just Win." We all know that he doesn't control the RPI - only the baseball gods do that.

Simple math: 11<16. Experts say State's great on paper, just not in wins n loses.

Uh, he's the ONLY coach we've had in the past 4 years. And whether or not we host is definitely something he can control. I don't think we should fire him if we don't host this year, but he damn sure better make a regional.

 

[MaroonNation]

Yes. Probably a year too late. Think Sherrill. We have a tendency to let a coach completely destroy a program before we pull the trigger. I guess Cohen will benefit from the fact this year that he can't possibly make us worse than we were last year.

Hopefully we can get Raffo back****

Yeah -- that top 5 recruiting class = utter destruction!!1!11
