        I don't have an opinion any way or the other. Other than softball is WSU isn't enjoying great success.

          May be less than we would have hoped, but any sport that we're in the top 50 should be considered successful. I know there are different metrics, some probably better than NCAA RPI, but we are #41. This kind of thing is based on who you have beaten (how good or bad they are) and who you have lost to by the same measure. Other examples in softball are # 37 Illinois (8-9), #33 McNeese (14-11), #17 Charlotte (12-9).

          We also have a key injury.

          • The failure to get Phase 2 of the Cessna renovation going is not good look.

            We like to cut down nets and get sized for championship rings.

              It was simply a joke.

                  You should watch the baseball team.

                  • If I'm Saal, my main priority for the next two years is NIL. We simply can't compete if we're not shelling out the big bucks. Simple as that.

                      Totally agree. And let's face it, everything other than basketball is secondary. Unless you're winning a baseball natty then you're pretty much judged on the success of basketball.

                        Wish ADKS would've swung for the fences on a new coach. Maybe PM will turn into something in Wichita but out of the gate...I ain't seeing it.

                        Above all, make the right call.

                          Yep, and that hang was 150% all due to personal reasons. FADDB didn't like FAHCCJ so......here we are.

                            • I hate all the “we coulda had [Pitino][Matta]” because in that same vein we could have coach k too. But CJ was what we really lost. He could have come in, kept Lou and Isaac, maybe rolled GH back in, and WSU would be rolling.

                                He also would have rallied the donor base. He was my #1 for that reason. Just had to find out what we would have needed and I bet we could have come up with it. I just don't think the question was ever asked
