This year's schedule is weakness. Niagara was almost the worst program in the country last year.
No weaker than any schedule on average the last 15 or so years. Yet those teams couldn't win much against those schedules. As of this week Massey has BYU at #52. I would guess they've been in the 200s in recent years.

Heady stuff. Not certain they are that good, but it is nice to see success after so many years of ignominious defeats.

we long argued for BYU's return to good baseball. But that ignoramus dumbass Indy Coug always argued that it was impossible for BYU to be good at baseball because of the recruiting rules changes.

The new coach, and yes I realize he is not brand new but he came from a winning program, has cleaned house and brought a new attitude. He recruited well these past two years. BYU has a great field, and simply needs to snag a few pitchers. I like what I read about the coach and his players.

The won again tonight despite not playing their best ball. Mind you I don't believe it is a top 15 team... yet. He can develop into that if he continues to get players.

We believed BYU could be good because we remembered when BYU actually was good and we could watch BYU baseball on ESPN.

I had so much fun attending baseball games when Corey Snyder and Wally Joyner were playing there. It broke my heart when BYU wilted in the Arizona sun during the regionals.

BYU was the top seeded team in the entire tournament that season yet was made to play on the road right away. I have never seen that happen to any other #1 team in NCAA baseball. Top seeds almost getting a free pass to the super regionals is more or less a given in the NCAA baseball tournament. Weird how it happened like that, but I'm sure it had something to do with the crappy field BYU's administration made BYU play in for so long. I'm glad to see the admin today is finally supportive of the team. For years I couldn't understand what the heck they seemed to have against the baseball team.

15-1 BYU goes against 3-10 Utah tomorrow in Provo. PLEASE Cougars, beat the royal crap out of the stupid utes. I think they will. Utah lost to the same Kansas team that BYU swept.
