I am asking for some help here. For the last few years, there has been a lot of criticism on this board about the performance of baseball. In reading this board, no excuses are allowed. With that in mind, can someone explain why the favorite candidate in the "experience group" is someone whose team did not make a regional this year and was eliminated in regionals the previous 2 years by the team you say was average? What about his experience convinces you that he is hosting and winning regionals at Rice?

Note: This post is intended as an honest question of why people believe that Riser is the best candidate in consideration of all of the other people available with experience that would want the job. This is not an endorsement of any candidate. Also, maybe mrbig can comment if SEL is able to "get extra scholarships" for baseball thru TOPS.
