  1. The S&D hire just confirms to me that Pierce is going to have to work some magic over the next 6 weeks to keep his seat. CDC is money whipping the best of the best for sports like Beach and S&D, he isn’t going into the SEC in a revenue sport with a guy who can’t build a roster or a coaching staff.

  2. The conference is bad enough and we're talented enough that the "this team might have it figured out", "Pierce has to go" whiplash will continue all year. 

    RPI is free-falling towards Q3. Weather warms up after tomorrow in Manhattan. We'll take the series and then get swept by BYU next weekend

  3. Hottest team on campus right now. Fun to watch today. Love to see Spizz want to fight back from a set down when he could be in the locker room instead

    No, the reason I never take these conversations seriously is because the names floated around either aren’t realistic or are guys with worse resumes than Pierce

    Bakich has 1 CWS appearance in 14 full seasons with 0 conference titles.

    Walter has 1 CWS appearance in 27 full seasons with 4 conference titles (3 at George Washington).

    The only thing they have on Pierce is youth and Walter has a cool pitching lab.

    What have Bakich and Walter done makes you believe they are going scorched earth on college baseball with the same resources Pierce has had?

    If Pierce has resources, someone should probably go let him know that

    Just to get a little different discussion out there. I’ll attempt to turn it into a little more college and less Texas sucks.

    FSU is #1 in RPI. 4-0 in quadrant 1. No games in Q2. 8-0 in Q3. 7-0 in Q4.

    Baylor is 0-8 in Q1. 4-4 in Q2. 0-1 in Q3. 4-0 in Q4.

    OU is #4 in RPI with a 14-7 record. Only 1 Q4 game. UCF is #11 with a 2-5 conference record. Only 2 Q4 games. Then you have TCU with their 2-5 conference record. TCU is undefeated in non-conference but is 9-0 in Q4 games.

    Quick count had 5 SEC with 9 or more Q4 games. The Big 12 had Tech and WVU with 9 or more.

    Texas is #54. Only 2 Q4 games. OU is the only team with 1 Q4 game in the top 54. There are only 3 others with 2 Q4 games. Only 5 others with less than 5 Q4 games.

    The Big 12 is 3rd in RPI and currently closer to 2nd (ACC) than 4th (PAC). The Big 12 isn’t weak but some do not play the Q4 teams that other conferences have loaded up on.

    Someone smarter than me needs to explain how RPI and SOS aren’t incestuous nonsense. The Big 12 basketball metrics slant this year really highlighted this. 

    Back to the point, do SEC baseball teams have fewer Q4 games bc they’ve played fewer terrible teams? Or do they have fewer Q4 games because they’ve started to play other SEC teams which raises their SOS. And if their SOS is higher, the Q4 teams they’ve played start to look better on paper and move up to Q3. 

    The opposite for TCU which has bad conference losses. Round and round in a circle the math goes until the SEC fills the top of the RPI
