No mid-major can. UA didn’t and Buffalo won’t. No one in this league can. Hell our baseball team hasn’t even been able to. It just isn’t possible. That’s why you enjoy the ride when it happens.

What made it tougher on KSU was it allowed the rest of the league to catch up a little bit and we never did anything to re-invest in the program. The arena looks the same (new videoboard and chairbacks notwithstanding) as it did in those years. Other teams have dramatically renovated their facilities or built brand new ones.

But as we’ve seen the rise and fall of other MAC programs like UA, UB, OU and WMU, look at what Kent State has been able to do. Despite five head coaches in an 11-year span, the program has remained a perennial contender for the league. It hasn’t had a sub.-500 season since the nineties. Look at the season WMU is having. Look what’s happened to OU since their 2012 run. Hell, look at that brutal stretch for our women’s program. Nothing even remotely similar has happened to the men’s program.

I know Senderoff has his detractors and isn’t the charasmatic fun press conference guy some others are, but he’s at least kept this program at a pretty darn respectable level for a long time, while also threatening (and winning) the league crown. The hoops program has vastly different expectations than others on campus. And I think that’s fair. It should be held to a higher standard than, say football.

But the program’s consistency over a two-decade stretch deserves and demands respect.

Preach!
