There had to be something the voters saw, or thought they saw.

A&M told everyone they had the best players and best coach. Somebody must have listened.

Their offensive lineup was supposed to be amazing. I don’t think anybody expected the fielding to be completely terrible and the offense to fall off a cliff.

It’s truly amazing to watch the car crash

We got the yips batting right now. Have like 5 new starters. Batters need to stop putting pressure on themselves, it’s mental. Pitching is good enough, but need offense.

Speculation I suppose.

It reminds me of when Petrino got the boot here and John L was handed the reins. With the same assistants and with the talent coming back what could possibly go wrong. I believe we started out in the top 10 and disappeared with the quickness.

shite happens…

Polls are lazy.

But returning so many players who had performed well was it, compared to other schools.

They were in the CWS final last year and my understanding for the #1 ranking was that their whole team was returning or something like that. Turns out the players weren’t actually that good and it was all Schloss.

You guys are really confident our bats will stay dead all season? Thing is I’ve seen Ole Miss, even LSU get hot mid year and go on runs. That’s my hope at least.

you asked completely the wrong question. everyone knows why. the question is why this team is what it is right now.

Our pitching just may be better than last year. but our hitting, which on paper should be equal or better than lastt year, is ABYSMAL.

ironic since we promoted to head coach our supposed national "hitting guru" coach.

what makes you think they’ll turn it around? They played the OOC portion of their schedule already and only averaged 6 runs/game and in the meat of their schedule now in SEC play and down to 2 runs/game. Yalls OOC was so poor that finishing below .500 in conference won’t get you a regional bid and you’re already 5 games in the hole.

So yes, I think yall are fricked

All our batters are trying to murder balls to get out of this rut, and it’s like, just play the field. Also, everyone is playing the shift on us.

The season for us rides on the bats figuring it out soon and getting out of their own heads.

Well we know they have hit before. The preseason hype might have had them trying to do too much. They can improve if they quit trying to overswing.

He’s basically implying that Jace isn’t good now bc he’s in a rut. Close minded.

I think it was a Desmond Howard relative that had us at #1.

They paid their alum Kendall Rogers a shite ton of money to pump the hype train, just like douchenozzle Billy did with football.
