be a top 5 program, and maybe we shouldn't, but the fact is, we aren't. Just because some clown grills hamburgers on a beatup truck, doesn't mean we are. What's happened over the last 20 years has completely changed college baseball. Hell TCU is #1 in the country. Coastal freaking Carolina won it all. People seem to think that because we were good, 30 years ago (when nobody gave a ****) that we somehow should automatically be good now (when everyone does give a ****). If we want to be a top 5 program, it's going to take a number of factors. Consistency being the main one, and Cohen started to change that (and yet folks still clamored for his firing).
Maybe I need to be more clear. I don't think we should be a top 5 program right now. I'm happy with the status and direction of our program right now. But after the new stadium gets built, and Cannizaro is able to do what he does, expectations of a top 5 program are completely realistic. We have an AD that is obviously dedicated to spending money on sports, we have arguably the best fan base in the country, we will have one of the best stadiums, and we have recruiting in roads to all the southern states including the panhandle. With all of those things why can't we be a top 5 program? It's baseball so I'm sure we will have sub .500 SEC years but those should be few and far between.

I always take these reported revenue & expense controls arising with a big grain of salt. I have a hard time believe waving UM's baseball revenues are twice what ours are. I think there are some huge differences in his things are accounted for.

It is. You might not think it -- but you aren't paying attention. For sure ticket revenue is double ours.

I would imagine the lifetime seats alone account for a lot of that. It's criminal that some folks straight get to keep those seats for zero contribution when everybody else pays. Especially when most people with lifetime seats are not of the generation that paid up.
