Melky....you're right about the sustained success. We took the tough road when other schools such as TCU, Utah, Houston and Boise figured out how to play by the new rules. That was a fatal mistake in my opinion although the intentions were good. The other fatal mistake was ignoring basketball for so many years. I've always though if we had focused on basketball more (way back) we'd probably have been in the BE in 2003, at the latest. We're the only school I can think of that puts more pressure on baseball than basketball. I believe we have learned a valuable lesson with football scheduling.....hopefully. I can think of several seasons we'd finish ranked or with a winning season if we'd toned things down a little. 2008-2009 come to mind.
