2018 Baseball

We're been estimated exactly where we should be. We've done nothing but finish last since joining the Sun Belt. Up to this team to show otherwise.

Can't argue with that. Until we prove otherwise, no reason to assume we're better than we have been.

Time to order rubber dog masks for Kermit & his boys of summer!

Based on recent performance, I totally get why App is getting no mention and not on anyone's radar. I just have to think that we are so much better coached that we will make up some ground. It will be fun to watch our progress.

The other thing to keep in mind is the number of NCAA tournament appearances for some of our conference mates. South Alabama comes to mind as a strong program that seems to stay that way. There's no doubt in my mind that Kermit is already making a real difference in our program. He gets it - from recruiting to player development to public interaction. I'm looking forward to seeing progress this year ... and to making it to more games once tax season is over.
