  1. Yeah, so much irrelevance that we have enjoyed deep postseason runs more often than not during his tenure. We have been a couple of bad breaks away from making another trip to Omaha and from winning it all. This season was a fucking disaster on paper with the roster and the team has persevered to be in a position of relevance this postseason. We may flame out or go on a run. But I am not giving up on them the way all of yall already have.
  2. That isnt what he said. He said you better make sure you nail the fucking hire. Because if not you will slide into a deep pit of irrelevance where you wish you could have Pierce era success again.
  3. So one fluke run is your standard for success? Time to go get Gary Gilmore. Since 2016, the year he won the title, he too has 4 regional losses under his belt.
  4. That is a factually incorrect statement. Since 2017 he has been to one CWS and lost in 4 regionals.
  5. Ooooo I can play this game too. Bakich record in the tourney says he'll never win the tourney. A guy with one CWS appearance and a whole bunch of regional losses?
  6. Ad hominems are always a sign that you are constructing a good argument. Keep it up.
  7. Yes I do think he can win in the SEC. Yes I do think he can win a title. We almost did it in 2021. Do I think it is likely? No. But it is hard as fuck to win multiple titles as a coach in baseball. Again, he better be replaced by someone with some serious skins on the wall or we are going to fuck ourselves.
  8. This x1000, remember when we fired Mack Brown because he wasn't our "standard" (in a season where we were one game away from winning a Big 12 title) and then we turned around and royally fucked up the hire. We proceeded to wander in the desert for a decade. I can put up with the results of Pierce for another couple of years if we are just firing him for some Charlie Strong level chump.
  9. Okay, look people. I am not convinced of the trajectory of the program but you all need to get this shit through your heads because you are missing some things. Pierce took over in 2017. We have made it to Omaha 3 times in that stretch (and COVID robbed us of an appearance in 2020). He made a regional in 2017, missed the playoffs in 2019, and in 2023 we lost in the supers. Dave Van Horn in that same stretch from 2017 to now has 3 CWS appearances, has lost three regionals, and lost two supers. Tennessee has appeared in two CWS in that same period of time. LSU has been in two of them. He has been effective at achieving postseason success. He is far from a shit coach and most teams would kill for our success the last few seasons.
  10. He's bad but he definitely has a better pedigree than Terry. Omaha is basically like making the Elite 8 in basketball. Terry has one Elite 8 that carries an asterisk and then a flame out in the second round.
  11. SOS and RPI are repeated twice. Interesting
  12. Go look at our resume and then look at UL, we have a better team. If we lose to them on Friday. I will be full steam ahead on the fire Pierce train.
  13. Tbh, we are a 2 seed that got fucked over and given a 3 seed. WE are better than UL. They have beaten precisely nobody this year. I expect us to win that game.
  14. Texas would host. But if it is San Diego, they would host most likely.
  15. Texas as a 3 seed is laughable. But you get what you deserve with losing to shitty teams. That being said, we are an extremely strong 3 seed and I think UL is not good. That is an easily winnable game. Get Game 1 and the pressure shifts to the Ags.
  16. Nadal got screwed on the draw. Getting the 4 seed first when recovering from injury and trying to find a rhythm is brutal.
  17. If things play out the way I am thinking then OU is gonna have a rough ride and the winner of Texas/OSU is going to be sitting pretty. I anticipate that Texas and OSU will be playing each other after they both win their first game. Loser of that game will bracket switch and end up playing OU. Winner will have a clear and easy path to the final. Going 2-0 is the key.
  18. One more game to get injured and one less week preparing for your QF opponent. Hate the automatic byes. Beyond fucking stupid.
  19. NCAA tourney should never have a run rule. Period. Any team that is int he tourney should have a chance to come back and win it. Regular season it is fine.
  20. I disagree. They will get the bracket switch loser between Texas and Okie Sate, so I think that they will face a tough path.
  21. That is only for the supers and generally only for 2 seeds.
  22. Yeah, womens sports are Volleyball, softball/basketball.
  23. That series will pay dividends in OKC. These types of series are great for the teams that win them. Otherwise, yeah, if we had lost, that wouldve been some shit.
