[quote author=Jacks02 link=1179606929/0#12 date=1180058365]Hmm, now long now until Reggie starts getting looks by more established programs?

You did see that Chicago State is 4-51?  The Bandits could probably beat them.[/quote]

Yeah I did, and obviously he wouldn't get looks based on one game or one season, but he has completely turned the program around and has it going in the right direction in just his 3rd season as coach.  

I pretty much said the comment as a joke, but its not completely out of the question that we could compete next year in the Summit and a make a run at the conference title.  The Jacks could finish this season with 35 wins, you can't tell me that won't catch some attention from people.

OK, you got me!

Don't get me wrong, 31-18 vs. D-I schools is better than 18-31, but that record against D-I competition is good for #217 on Warren Nolan's baseball RPI rating.

Our schedule hasn't exactly been filled with top-tier D-I teams. Nolan ranks our strength of schedule at 292.

I'll definitely agree that if Christiansen manages to steal a Summit title from Oral Roberts, he'll certainly be a coach to be watched. But I'm not sure that he's quite yet in the same category as, say, AJ was coming off of last year. He's got SDSU baseball going in the right direction, though.

Re: Division I Independent Baseball Tournament

Coach Reggie has without a doubt got SDSU going in the right direction, but I not sure how much. The inclusion of 7 Post 22 players from Rapid on the roster is a real first, but it takes much more. We have to find out how good we are when we play next year in the Summit. I am with Filbert, we are probably are not there yet in losing a good baseball coach.

I caught the tail end of a interview on KJJQ sports show this morning between Scotty and Tyler Merriman. They were discussing Chicago State and how they won 2 of their last games and were close in others.  Apparently the guys did not take Chicago State lightly as they could have. Its been a great season and hopefully a better one will occur next year.

Re: Division I Independent Baseball Tournament

I think Reggie is doing an outstanding job with the team. I would love to see what he could do if he had a full 11.7 scholarship (we are at 7). As a side note, if we were in the Mid-Con/Summit League this year we would have the second highest RPI only trailing ORU (although we are well behind the Eagles, currently they are the Kings of Mid-Con Baseball -- something like 10 conference titles in a row).

Go State!

Re: Division I Independent Baseball Tournament

Very impressive stuff. I've seen them play a couple of times this year and this is a talented team. They will compete in The Summit League. About time ORU has a rival on the diamond.

NDSU's head coach resigned the other day.  Too much travel and stress.
