Lot of hypotheticals there. Maybe we can cut off South Carolina's and Florida's last 20 years too and bring them in to this

There was one hypothetical which was the last part of my statement. Arkansas and A&M were pretty much identical as far as program success up until you hired Van Horn and committed to baseball. Starting facility upgrades doesn’t move you up the latter and overcome lack luster results on the field.

Arkansas is very much a better baseball program then A&M now, what I am pointing out is that all the things you are clowning them for trying to get better at, letting go of a tenured regionally successful coach with little National success, upgrade facilities to try and elevate the program to new heights, very much describes what Arkansas was doing in the late ‘90s early ‘00s.

Same could be said about any program with recent success that had little to no success prior. Never said erase the history, you said that, but that history has to have a start date.
