Shy where do u get your info from is it boydsworld? I go by warrennolan and Lamar SOS is 83, give me the website so I can look at that one too, your right way to early to go by this, after about the 25th game we will get a better look at it.

[AshlyHasBeen]

I look at both. Those were from warrennolan. But it updates throughout the day so it probably changed.

I love how some people continue to dog Gilligan and the baseball program even after someone posts FACTS about them having played one of the tougher schedules in the conference and being the highest ranked team thus far in the conference.

[Guest baseball25]

Actually, texas st ,utsa,nOrthweStern st, and southeast la are ranked better than Lamar right now

...and who really cares if their RPI is higher...I am way more interested in how it plays out at the END of the season...if Lamar wins the conference and gets to the NCAA's with a 5,276 RPI, then I could care less

RPI doesn't mean much this early in the season.  It does matter at the end of the season for tournament seeding or if LU needs an at-large bid just to get to the NCAA playoffs.  The baseball team hasn't been to the playoffs since 2003 so while Gilligan has done a lot of great things for Lamar, you would think he'd schedule tough teams so they'd be ready for conference play.  Upsets do occur so you can't just count on the automatic bid to get in.

Also, attendance is important, and nothing hurts attendance more (besides losing) is playing against no-name teams.  It just seems to make the most sense to schedule tough teams.  I know a lot of schools won't come to Beaumont, but I bet Gilligan could schedule better than he does now.

Hopefully the $5 million or so in upgrades to Vincent-Beck will happen soon.  That should help in attracting good teams if Gilligan wants them in Beaumont.

Hope your right, I wanna see Lamar back in regionals, but the schedule they play isn't preparing them for conf, I hope i'm wrong but the last 5 yrs shows.

[Guest baseball25]

RpI now 70, SOS 196, Lamar rpi was 24 on Monday morning and SOS was 83 Monday morning, playing a  horrible non conf will bite you in the butt.

[LU Baseball Fan]

I have decided that thinking about RPIs today is like looking at someone's batting average the first 15 at bats.  No indication on how the rest of the season will be!!!!!

Rpi  96 , SOS 220
