That was the narrative about a month or so ago.FIRE ERSTAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Isn't that what is SUPPOSED to be in this thread????
Not sure if that is a realistic expectation or sarcastic, but I'm curious, if the team wins the regular season conference title, why anyone would really think the guy who coached his team to FIRST PLACE (basically better than any other team) is somehow a failure.Still gotta win his first conference title, perform well at the conference tourney, and make it to a Super, which is far from in the bag.

Try to enjoy the ride.
Correct. I meant to say "or". If he wins the conference, or the conference tourney, in my mind, Erstad should be commended for a great year. If he does neither, and we still finish in 2nd, it will be disappointing, but if they win a regional, I think most on this board would still think the season was a success.
We'll just in case the April 2 tie against Indiana would cost the boys the title just in Case I might add, which would be no fault of their own and you would still hold it against him.

Our series loss to Iowa or blowing Game 1 vs Ohio State would be bigger reasons than the tie.
No fault of their own? How did you come up with that? Erstad knows the rules. Their record would put them in 2nd place, based on their performance. I don't deal in 'what ifs' and 'buts.' Especially with what has been an extraordinarily average baseball coach.
If he finishes in 2nd place, doesn't win the conference tourney, and bows out in a regional...in one of the weaker Power 5 conferences...the year shouldn't be considered what we are looking for in year 6 of his tenure. Simple as that.

FIRE ERSTAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I will gladly take the Indiana tie. In my mind, there was extremely little chance we sweep on the road against a team of that quality. So 2-0-1 is better than 2-1-0.We'll just in case the April 2 tie against Indiana would cost the boys the title just in Case I might add, which would be no fault of their own and you would still hold it against him.

Like Charlie Marlow said: the Iowa series and Game 1 at Ohio State have a much larger impact and are much less excusable.

Granted but if it comes down to that tie blame it on the B1G not Erstad.
After all at this is far gone conclusion, but they did win the series against Minnesota.
If it ends like last year, will anyone have enjoyed the ride enough to overcome a disappointing finish? Gotta finish the year out and win something of significance.
That is why I said granted, but as of now that tie arguably could cost us the title.
Go back to the baseball board and I even said weeks ago they losing the series to Iowa and losing the rain delay game hurt at the time.
But if both teams win out it's all going to come down to finishing that game in Bloomington.
No and's if's or butt's.
I realize I am one of the resident wet noodles, but just want to restate what others here have said: just enjoy the ride, dawg.If it ends like last year, will anyone have enjoyed the ride enough to overcome a disappointing finish? Gotta finish the year out and win something of significance.
