Has to be the highest level of play by any of the sports in the socon. Teams from socon consistently beat ranked teams. Citadel beat #14 Louisville today. Western beat #4 Mississippi state yesterday. CofC (not socon anymore) beat unc today.
Pretty dang impressive. It happens every year too. Very high level of play in socon baseball
We are in need of someone to take over the maintenance of the MMB. Yosef has done it for a long time, and we are grateful for all he has done, but life happens and he no longer has the time to devote to its upkeep. If anyone here is interested in helping to keep the board running, please let me know via DM.

Re: Socon baseball
SoCon baseball is very strong, but th Sun Belt is historically stronger. With the SoCon losing GSU, CofC, Elon, and us that gap just got bigger.

I also forgot. Ga southern beat Uga (although Uga isn't very good, it's still an sec team).asu66 wrote:Just for brief comparison, fwiw...SunBelt Baseball...

Don't you think beating acc and sec teams is more impressive than beating Illinois, creighton and michigan?

Re: Socon baseball
I think you play the teams on your schedule, it is week one. Go back and look at conference RPI the last five years. Now subtract four of the top six teams from the SoCon over that time.
The Sun Belt may not be for everyone, but the numbers will prove it is a step up in all three major sports and even more so when you consider what the SoCon is losing.

I initially mentioned nothing about socon vs sunbelt. I said BASEBALL is socon's strongest sport.
I will reserve my opinion on move to sunbelt until a couple years after the move. I simply just don't know how it will work out, and neither do you. Too many unknowns.
