Along with that, comes 8 winning seasons, 2 losing seasons along with multiple off court incidents from DUI's to drugs. Along with this, comes the highest budget of any sport on campus, a budget that increased to almost 1.4 million dollars from 753K in 03-04.

Since the title of the thread is A-Sun era, one of Bartow's NCAA appearances was in the SoCon (with a team he inherited).

I should've been more clear, by A-Sun era the meaning is the time we knew that the SoCon was no longer an option.

I am not shocked at all by LetsGoBucs defending them and making excuses here. Not in the least.

My expectation is consistency and winning. You've made excuses about the A-Sun being tough in baseball, no money yada yada yada. The only sport that was really funded well that's a stick and ball sport was men's basketball until football was dropped. Every sport benefitted from football getting cut, yet the only stick and ball sports that won were men's and women's basketball. We just "retired" the women's coach when the baseball coach has been on the job 14 years and hasn't won anything. Stop telling me about the labor, show me the damn baby. Bottom line, .476 winning percentage since the funding started to increase. Anywhere else in Division I and Tony Skole is the most popular history teacher at Wise County Central High School, same with Devine. They both saw the funding increases to help them compete, and we've bottom line had MEDIOCRITY. All the excuses in the world, better competition, facilities, whatever cannot excuse a losing record as a head coach and being on the job for 14 years, not when they fired someone else for the same deal.
So yea, they've got the money to win, and have been mediocre. I expect more as a fan, hell we rail on Bartow on here all the time and he's won at a much greater clip than Skole and Devine.
As for Sayers, he's been there two years, so yea, the jury is out on him. If he continues down his path, he won't be around long.
As for Calabrese yea he's won more than he's lost but at what cost? Like I said, the jury is out.
The comments have nothing to do with my personal feelings for soccer but based strictly on numbers.

And LetsGo, I'm sure if you keep telling the previous regime how great they are sniff their butt some more, they'll give you a hat, and if you're really nice you'll get some Little Caesar's pizza and stale cookies.
