Sarah Patterson's girls had a couple of bobbles on late routines and slipped to 2nd nationally.

Mick Potter's girls had a bad last day and finished 7th.

Patrick Murphy's girls didn't even get to Oklahoma City this year.

In spite of Scab's histrionics, no one is screaming for their heads. I didn't like the 9th inning in Tallahassee any more than anyone else did. Cold, hard reality says that even had we held on, our exhausted pitching staff wasn't getting past FSU. Had the game not been televised we wouldn't be hearing much about it at all. The kids who could turn a program around immediately went straight to pro ball via the MLB draft.

Recent history suggests that most of the fan base wants respectability in all sports (hence Wendel Hudson is gone) but are staisfied with being competitive in sports like baseball, women's basketball, even men's basketball.

For those who insist that coach Grant should already be contending for NC's, here is Duke's legendary coach K's WL record.
