It's a damn good thing Ray Tanner didn't think that way because I would have Jewelry Warehouse shirts that say Sec tournament winner instead of Back to Back National Champions.
Again, many, many teams have done both. How many times did Ray "save the team" and still didn't go very far in the NCAA? How far do you think we'll go this year? It's simply a dumb argument to think they can't be done the same year and to be okay with the idea that it's fine just sitting out trying to win a conference championship and embarrass ourselves in Hoover every year.
And yes, this fan base would remember this season a lot more fondly if it won the SECT and bombed in regionals than if it scrapes by a few wins to get to the Supers only to go 0-2.

No. No, they wouldn't. You play the season and conference tournament to get into the NCAA tournament. Your goal is to go as far as you can so wanting to win a lower prize is willing to settle for less. South Carolina baseball has built it's reputation by it's NCAA tournament play not it's Sec tournament wins. Even if you go 0-2 in the Super Regional you still are one of the 16 final teams playing and that is the goal. Our baseball fans remember the Super Regional s we are in but don't remember sec tournament wins and.

Answer this did we win the SEC tournament in 2010,11 or 2012?
2010- 0-1
2011- 1-2
2012- 1-2
We have won the SEC tournament 1 year 2004.
This was Ray Tanners approach and it worked damn good. He sucks as AD but you can't question his baseball coaching ability.
