I apologize in advance for reporting the latest news that some of our “fans” don’t want to hear. With today’s win against UNA, JSU Baseball completed the sweep of the weekend series. The Gamecocks are now 14-7 in conference play, are tied for first place in the Western Division, and tied for the overall lead in the ASUN. Go Gamecocks!!! Seriously?! TUNA is 9-32. They have been swept repeatedly and are one of the worst teams in D1. Good thing for us because they are responsible for 5 of our conference wins. We are 21-21 overall and without TUNA we are 9-7 in conference and 16-21 overall. We’re lucky to be in the western division. Liberty, Kennesaw, FGCU, and Jacksonville are better than we are. We have a 3 game road series at EKU and a 3 game road series at Bellarmine left on the schedule, in addition to games against UAB and Bama. Bellarmine is bad, but we will probably finish with a losing record…again. Some of us don’t like wallowing in mediocrity year after year. We want to support the team and believe they deserve better coaching.

UNA seems to be handling the transition to D1 as well as we did.

My sentiments too JSUSoutherner. We have several.

Southerner, it seems sarcasm is lost on some.
I feel about Case the same way I felt about Captain Jack. He did what he was paid to do but it is time to upgrade.

JSU fans historically do not (and should not) desire to be big fish in a small pond.
If winning the OVC were all that mattered to us, we would never have left for the ASUN, and would certainly not have accepted an invitation to move to an FBS conference. We DID move to the ASUN, though, because in football (and in most other sports) the ASUN was a decided upgrade. Despite the anomalous performance of Murray State and Belmont this past season, the ASUN even managed to be a higher rated basketball conference than the OVC. CUSA will be a major step up across the board. Moving to where the competition is, historically, is what makes Jax State ... Jax State.
Settling for "OVC Contender" status will make us a mid-tier team at best in CUSA. In some sports, it'll put us squarely in the cellar. Absolutely no self-respecting Gamecock fan wants that.
And that's why settling for "Hey! We swept UNA in baseball!" is not good enough for most of us. When this team wins the conference tournament and upsets a couple of teams in the NCAA Regional, we'll talk. Until then, they need to improve whatever weaknesses have led to sweeps and series losses against the likes of USA, UCA, EKU, and Mercer before we start high-fiving each other for being so awesome.

I think the issue isn't that people desire to be a big fish in a small pond. It's that they're oblivious that they are in a small pond to begin with. Southerner, it seems sarcasm is lost on some. I feel about Case the same way I felt about Captain Jack. He did what he was paid to do but it is time to upgrade. Sure seems that way.

As you can see there are differing opinions among fans regarding our just completed weekend sweep and our position today atop the conference standings. Mine tends to gravitate toward being happy that we are in this position going into the last month of the season. Go Gamecocks!!!!!
“Everybody’s got such a high expectation for what our team should be. I was just happy to see our players be happy about playing a game and winning. It really, if you want to know the truth about it, pisses me off when I talk to people that have this expectation like they’re disappointed that we only won the game." - Nick Saban

He's the same guy with the legendary rant about only beating Georgia Southern by 4 scores, right?

I'll add he started off with saying Georgia Southern ran through them (Alabama) like shit through a tin horn!

Nobody is blaming the players. They should be happy to win, and I guarantee you they would love to be put in a position to do it more often.
