While they haven't dominated for several years, they still had more pitching than anybody else in the conference every year. They suffered a lot of injuries to their pitching staff 3 or 4 years ago that kept them from being an elite team. Now I just don't think they have the horses they normally do. They still have talent near the top of C-USA, but not nearly enough to dominate the way they did for a while.

And they just lost one of their weekend starters for the season with Tommy John surgery.

I bet Tommy John would like to be known or his 288 wins, his unhittable sinker ball, and his 4 all star appearances...instead of a surgery.

No doubt. Today's players probably have no idea who he is. They probably think he was a surgeon.
