In the words of the great Morris Buttermaker from the Bad News Bears, these guys swing like Helen Keller at a piñata party.
Sully will be gone just like MW and DM here in a few years. Top 3 sports with openings. Can't just come to UF and win 9-11 games in football, get to the NCAA Tourney, and/or get to the CWS every year. Have to bring in top recruits and win Nattys while destroying the competition like SOS, Billy D, and UM. THAT is the Gator Standard and we can't accept any less as we are ENTITLED to be the very best.
Go be a mediocre fan so where else if you don't like the standard. I'd remind you that this team was the consensus no.1 pick before the season started and to say they underachieved is putting it kindly. We should at the very least finished top 3 in the SEC and had a 1st round bye. Instead we have to pound our way through the bracket. I got news for you, in big boy land that falls on the HBC. Lets see if he is smart enough to pitch arms that haven't had alot of work first round and rest Jack, Tommy, Franco, and some of the arms we will need for the real tourney.Sully will be gone just like MW and DM here in a few years.

It was in the remake, and as remakes go it’s not too bad.You know I don;t recall that line by Walter Matthau as ButterCrud (as Tanner so politely called him) in the ORIGINAL Bad News Bears. If perhaps this occurred in the "remake" I will have to plead stupidity as I refuse to watch remakes.
@Spurdog98 you miss what I am saying. I am saying that our standard is MUCH higher than what we are seeing. Sully with almost 600 wins at UF, 7 CWS berths, 1 NC, and 8 SEC titles and he should have at least one more NC. Probably half of those wins we were probably lucky to win so he actually only has 300 wins and over 500 losses so he is not a very good coach at all with a losing record here at UF according to most of us here. Most wins feel like losses with Sully at the helm, just read the threads just like with MW and DM. Sully has taken our program to heights never seen before but that is certainly not enough. With the talent that he brings in, he has to do more and win more so he has to go. Mullen turned the football program around but that is not enough. He has to win 12 or more games a year and it just isn't going to happen. MW followed a legend but can't coach a lick and every year is predictable with an NCAA berth but not much after that. As fans we demand much more excellence and NCs, we are ENTITLED to it at the University of FL.
Can one of our resident baseball experts post all coaches they think has a better resume than Sully's? That guy at Tampa, who's a Tampa alum, done fantastic, but no one that names him could tell you why someone else hasn't hired him already.
At the end of this year, we will still have won 1 National Championship and 2 SEC championships in 4 seasons. Who is going to want to work here when they think that's unacceptable? Nobody that could actually do better, only big check collectors.
EXACTLY Sporks! We HATE all of the coaches and are quick to get rid of them with every single loss. We dismiss every win and each loss is magnified cause we should win every game in dominant fashion but that is par for the course.

Guscette got hurt and has not played in months. Guess Hickey only throwing out 2 of 40+ base stealers this year finally took its toll on Sully, not to mention Hickey struggles with simply catching a called strike. Also saw that Mace is starting so clearly Sully thinks team must win a game or two to be assured a region host. Just a disappointing regular season all the way around from the quality of play (lack thereof) to the actual finish.
Like I said.....showcase ball. One trick pony, if that ain't on that day, you lose!
Yeah, they should since they are the same one's that had us as a consensus No. 1VERY interesting commentary by the announcers during this game when they said that UF has been to the CWS 7 out of the last 10 times and that Sully has certainly taken the UF baseball program to heights never seen before. BUT they also commented that there have been grumblings by fans that Sully just simply hasn't won enough and that he should have won at least 2 more CWS titles with all the talent he brings in. Announcers went on to say that the Gators need a strong showing in the SECT and Regionals or else it may be time to re-evaluate Sully at UF. So even the announcers have taken notice at when is being said about Sully here in this very thread. VERY interesting to hear these announcers talk about the state of the UF baseball program.
