Serrano is so tone deaf. This fan base doesn't want to hear "if you take away the 0-6 start in SEC play, we've been pretty good" kind of talk. At least I don't want to hear it.

Sure, Dave, if you take away the first 6 years of your career at UT things haven't been so bad.

I think it's a heck of a valid point that outside of that Friday to following Sunday this team has been an NCAA tourney team. I think it's relevant

It might be valid but a fan base doesn't want to hear it after 6 years of bad baseball.

I also didn't like the Champs of Life and 5 Star Hearts but maybe those were right up your alley too. Losing stinks, we need to get rid of the culture where losing at Tennessee is acceptable.

Nope. I just want a coach with a 6 year awful resume to be held accountable for his poor record and roster management.

I get so sick of hearing on our TV broadcasts "he's one of only so many coaches to lead 2 teams to the CWS". Who cares? He's barely led us to a 12 (of 14) team SEC tournament.

Fwiw I wanted him fired a few years back for playing a terrible west coach style allowing the fool Bergeron to run things. Once he was retained and the fool left I look at is a completely different style and regime. I see this new style turning the corner.

It is accurate, and it should be considered along with the context of the entire six year run and the context of this season.

It's improvement in two ways. The team has improved during the season, and this improvement, if sustained, is different from past seasons when we tailed off or nose dived in the final month.

Is it enough? To have a realistic shot at an at large bid, an SEC team needs to win its home series, avoid being swept on the road, and pick up a couple wins to offset all or most home series losses and road sweeps.

Since the 0-6 start, we lost a home series to Georgia and offset it with a road series win at Florida. Then we lost a home series to Auburn and held serve by avoiding sweeps at aTm and Vanderbilt.

We have to start winning some series at home. We have two home series left. We should win or sweep the Mizzou series. If we win the Arkansas series and steal a game at UK, Serrano will have a pretty good talking point for his postseason meetings.

Should it be enough? If we win 5 of the last 9 SEC games and end up 11-12 over the final 8 conference weekends, that would represent an improvement that would make me think harder about the coaching issue.

Will it be enough for the AD? I have no idea.

Let's see them win those games and find out.
