5/3 Baseball Top 25 Rankings

I was afraid we might fall further so that is good. We can keep top 5 if we sweep this weekend and win 1 against Arkansas and win USC series.

Notre Dame being #2 in the Baseball America poll is the biggest pile of crap I have ever seen.

This organization is TERRIBLE. I wrote before about their ACC and Carolinas bias but this is just insane. They chronically overrank EVERY ACC team

It would be one thing if they were every proven right when all the cards are dealt but this is a complete farce

Not just A&M in general here, but generally speaking, if a big-time job comes open and they want Vitello, it's going to be hard for Tennessee to keep TV. WTS -- Tony loves the culture at UT and maybe he's a different person in that regard, so you never know. My best advice for UT would be to be very aggressive with a contract extension and let the chips fall where they may.


Somehow I missed this last week. Would royally suck.

Not a surprise we dropped in D1 after an ugly loss to Lipscomb, but weekend series are all that truly matter and we won ours this weekend. Still in good position for a Super if we take care of business.

You missed it but we didn’t. Someone posted this and it was discussed in depth the Mon/Tues after the A&M series. Get your ass in the game Bigun.

Why is the administration sitting on its hands? This would be a great time for a proactive approach.

It's not sitting on its hands. The meetings have already started.
