You've all seen the beloved episode of It's Always Sunny, "The DENNIS system", but what few of you may know is that the episode was based on Mike Bianco's tenure as the Ole Miss baseball coach. Here's a rundown.
D- demonstrate value: the Rebs have gotten off to a fast start in the non conference. People are wary, but starting to sprout wool nonetheless.
E- engage physically: After a surprising effort in Columbia we have a sweep of Mizzou and find ourselves tied for first in the league. Perhaps the wool isn't unwarranted.
N- Nurture dependence: An uneasy an exited fan base finds themselves jubilant after an unlikely series win at a tough Alabama squad.
N- Neglect emotionally: The heroes return to Oxford only to lose the series to Auburn. The next weekend we also get swept by State. Much gnashing of teeth is experienced.
I- inspire hope: just when we think all is lost we pull out a series win against LSU, and a sweep of Kentucky. Everyone is back on the bandwagon.
S- Separate entirely: After narrowly missing out on hosting, we find ourselves as a #2 seed in a easy regional. We win the first 2 days and use up all of our good pitching, only to lose 2 in a row to the mediocre 3 seed. And we pack our bags for home for yet another CWS.
This is Ole Miss baseball, enjoy the schadenfreude.

Ole Miss is finally winning close games.
That's the key to hosting which improves your chances.
Maybe this is the year Bianco finally makes it but MSU is still the most impressive in SEC play so far. LSU's lack of offense and still searching for 3rd pitcher will keep us on road for super regional play and Omaha will be tough to get to through someone else's regional. I'm sure ULL will be the matchup somewhere in postseason.

Hopefully they send that squad to Rice .... If a Mississippi school hosts neither of us want Lafayette in our Regional.... There's always the possibility that they end up hosting themselves of course.

Yeah, ULL is scary. Best team in Louisiana at the moment.

That'd be some shite if they sent LSU to Lafayette.

Freudian slip, no doubt.
