Allow me to ask the question Metro wants us to ask :biggrin:.Metro, how many games do you think you would have won if you had pitched in this league? :biggrin:
(sorry, but I had to ask)
lolâŚat the risk of sounding like Cornbread, Jerry Rice, and Jim BrownâŚI decline to answer. All I know is Va Tech, USF, South Miss, VCU, and Tulane were constantly in and out of the Top 25. I donât see any A10 squads sniffing that level.

A10 is now 19th in the RPI
CUSA was 4th or 5th the final year the Niners were in it, and remains there currently

Southern Conf 8th. Hmmmm.
what is really scary, is that if the Niners left the A10 one day, it would sink into the 20âs.
[QUOTE=hootie;315547]Southern Conf 8th. Hmmmm.[/QUOTE]
Eggzactly. The A-10 is a short-bus league with the exception of us and maybe Richmond and Xavier.
Southern Conf 8th. Hmmmm.Still pushing us for football/Socon?

Yep- as a starting point. Then on the SEC. Probably more like C-USA though.

Metro, you kind of missed my point. The ONLY point I was trying to remind people of is that the old teams/players didnât necessarily have a tougher schedule ALL SEASON LONG (you guys acted like the 1990s Niners played only CUSA-level competition and todayâs Niners only play A-10 level competition ALL SEASON). Remember, the season is split roughly in half, between nc an c games!Granted it makes the overall/season long stats easier now, but it does not automatically mean the guys playing today could not have done it then as well! Thats all I was saying!
As for how many games I âevaluatedâ from 1992-2005, I couldnât tell you, but I certainly followed the team then, as I do now! I even saw you play a few times!
[QUOTE=919R;315503][B]uh, you do know weâre in the A10, right! Are we pathetic?[/B]
[B][U]Some of your points are valid, but you lost all credibility with me due to the SAC-8 comment! Puhhhleeeease!..Dang, we couldnât win the SAC-8, huh?[/U][/B][/QUOTE]
Seriously dude, go watch some A-10 baseball and then some SAC-8. Iâm obviously NOT including Charlotte. We would destroy the SAC as we do the A-10. But that is a valid comment for the rest of our league.

Charlote : A-10 Baseball :: Memphis : C-USA Basketball[/QUOTE]
More like
Charlotte: A-10 Baseball:: Davidson: SoCon Basketball
If we donât win the A-10 tournament, weâre not in the NCAAâs.
Wasnât last year the first year we won a series in the NCAA tournament in baseball? If so, how can one say this team isnât better than the ones in C-USA?

We didnât win the regional, GK, but we did win GAMES for the first time.
Metro, how balanced was the pitching rotation in the 90âs and early 2000âs? It seems like a big part of our success last year was having three starters who could bring it day in and day out.

OHHH, OBBBBBBBBBVIOUSLY you were not including Charlotte when you typed "I would be surprised [SIZE=5]if any A-10 team[/SIZE] could win the Div II SAC-8 league that Catawba and Carson-Newman are in." Sorry, my mistake!!

Read TFâs post earlier in this thread.
[QUOTE=UNCCTF]WE could. I donât know about 10 of the other teams in the league, though. I think that was a totally legitimate comment, and I donât think N1ner was including us in that.[/QUOTE]
He seemed to know what I meant in that post. But he knows what heâs talking about.

well in 98â they were the most balanced ever. You had 2 first team All Amer hitters, and 2 stud pitchers in Jason Stanford and Ryan Baker. Also a AAA shortstop in Joey Hammond.
If the 98â team played the 07â team 10x, Iâd say the 98â team wins 6-7 of them. Just my .02
-disclaimer, I did not play on the 98â team.
and to answer your question TF, last yearâs team lead the nation in ERA and agree completely with youâŚof course having healthy arms always helps
