Has us at 25

ETA: Could've posted this in the thread. I apologize. Got too excited this morning.

Ags need to prove they belong first. Don't get swept by the worst team in the history of the league this year for starters.

I like it.

Being in the Top 25 is an acknowledgment that we are a viable program.

Being ranked at #25 should fuel the team to excel and be better.

We're not just 'good'.

Looks like we will be playing D1 Baseball's preseason No.1 in Arlington on Feb 28th...

Can't wait, chase for #9 starts soon

Again, why did we give Earley a $900K a year?

UCLA coach John Savage, #1 team in the country, is paid $800K and has won the CWS.

If we're going to use preseason rankings as a gauge for a coach"s salary, A&M was last season's preseason #1.

Yes Savage won a CWS in 2013, he also had 3 sub .500 seasons since that Natty. One thing that can be gleaned from last season, Aggie fans have little to no patience for bust seasons. Savage has had some fantastic seasons at UCLA, some truly horrid ones but mostly mixed with meh ones.

Who cares how much Earley makes? If we miss the postseason again this year he's gone. If he wins big then it's worth it.
