Jeff should send our folks to see what they do. The other questions re the BSC. I have heard the Staff and AD say they have got to get out of the BSC it was not good for them. Due to one bid conference and the low RPI of the other schools. The Coaching staff was upset that the BSC tournament was at GWU last year. The comment made to me was no BSC should host but LU and CCU. In a nut shell the baseball culture is that of entitlement and they would learn from the boys of summer from the 70's and 80's. I'm just saying the Stuff is not what it's about its the culture. I would suggest bring some of the old guys back.
I wish I could say this personally. You can't put inflection and tone in something you write. I will say this respectfully, you didn't really answer any of my questions. There is a big difference in saying that the BCS is holding us back and that we are too good for the BSC. I don't see where you heard anyone saying that we had the "best stadium in the world".
I have only been to one game at CCU and honestly I wasn't overly impressed. I am not saying the LU games are real impressive either, but then again, baseball is pretty boring to me. I follow one MLB team closely, but wouldn't watch any other team, if you paid me to watch. I am the same way about LU. Would never watch college baseball, except that I am connected with LU personally, one of the REAL OLD guys too.
I totally disagree with the entitlement
affecting our play or standings in the conference. Did entitlement hurt us when we won the conference a few years ago in baseball? Did entitlement have anything to do with the WBB team winning or not winning the conference almost every year? How about the track teams? Cross-Country? You can't have it both ways. If the sense of entitlement hurts us, it should hurt us in every sport, all the time. It clearly doesn't. The only way it could be a problem is possibly with a specific coach. And so far, that is not applicable, because the two sports that we complain about the most are football and baseball and both programs have had recent success. (MBB has sucked for so long, it is just expected that we will suck). Obviously, that seems to be in a solid turn around mode now.
