Electric there tonight for the regional final against the U.

I hate having to live vicariously and feelings of envy. Our university is as irrelevant as it’s ever been. Thanks McPhee and Smith.

And look at what Murray State has done, or UTSA. Or there in Hattiesburg and at Coastal Carolina with them hosting too.

All of that is available to us as well with the right people in place......

I'm a big believer of comparing ourselves to our peers.

The dream of a truly competitive playing field is never going to happen, the big programs just won't let it. There's no sense in comparing us to schools/programs with the resources of the big dogs, and probably not even the Memphis's and even someone like South Florida. At the end of the day, the $$$'s just aren't there.

But we're far better funded than Southern Miss. Those guys are the opportunities we need to look at and ask hard questions. There will always be ups and downs, good coaches and bad coaches hired, and sports are hard so you can make a good decision and it not work out.

But over the long term, we should be competitive in the big 4 sports (FB, BB, WBB, and Baseball) with schools like So.Miss. There's no reason for our Baseball team to have been as non-competitive as it has been. Tennessee's a great baseball state, with plenty of talent to sustain two title-winners and a host of other contending programs.

Leadership needs to look at that program and ask are we really getting what we're paying for with our $$$'s.

The leadership doesn't need to look at anything other than their separation papers. They are the sole reason we are in this predicament. Until the entire bunch of incompetents are gone this University will continue to be what we are, IRRELEVANT.

I was thinking same thing. We have the most incompetent leadership in the history of leadership.
