I was at the last game before the streak and would have put money of that team finishing at bottom of the SEC. Let alone be a National Seed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cute, How about $20 says they don't make a regional and $50 says they don't make it out of one? Edited April 20 by Big T Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a sure winner for me because they have no chance regardless of who or where they play. They could gift them a regional at the Box and we still wouldn't get to the Supers.

The team probably isn't as bad as they seem but they have no leadership and if they haven't found it by now it isn't coming. Next year will be even worse!

I'm not saying that this is '21 or even that they'll do what '21 did. just pointing out that you can't make a definitive statement like that in baseball. crazy shyte happens all the time in this sport. it's one of the things that makes the sport so damn great. 12 hours ago, Big T said: The team probably isn't as bad as they seem but they have no leadership and if they haven't found it by now it isn't coming. this team isn't any where near as bad as their record says. and I have no clue how someone that doesn't even watch the games can make any remarks about leadership (or anything else). this team right now lacks the "clutch gene" that last year's team had. they also haven't been treated very kindly by the baseball gods. too many times we've seen guys come up with runners in scoring position and the batter smokes one at over 100mph exit velocity, but dead at someone. we've seen balls take weird spins away from the catcher. we've seen opposing players nub one off the end of the bat that barely squirts juuust far enough away that nobody can make a play on it. our record looks like hell, but in reality, we're not that far away from being middle of the pack in the SEC. which is still below where we expect to be, but not nearly as bad as what we are currently seeing. 12 hours ago, Big T said: Next year will be even worse! you have absolutely no way of knowing that right now. the roster will look a LOT different next year. you don't know who we're going to lose to the draft, what recruits end up on campus, who we get in the portal, etc. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought we had a shot, we were still top 5 maybe top 3 in the country and hadn't lost a series. Now we aren't ranked at all and can't buy a series. Tanks will be gone and no one to fill that void. Seems like a great recruiting strategy to me. I'll double down and now say it's probably closer to 3 years before we don't smell like a dead rat behind the dry wall.

You just aren't sharp enough to understand the method of my madness I'm not buying that "reverse jinx" didley-poo this year either. and to prove it, despite being a ridiculously over-superstitious baseball guy, I threw down on the team winning.
