Bobby sets a low bar, and has just cause for doing so. In 7 seasons at UL, Bigfish's teams are 42-82 against teams in the top 200 RPI. (We are 69-20 vs RPI 201 or worse.)

If you consider the teams from 101-200 in RPI as our peers, Bigfish is 33-49 against our peers. (19-16 at home, 11-30 on the road, 3-3 neutral).

Mediocrity is good enough for Bobby, and seems to be good enough for much of the fan base.

I would wait before setting any high expectations. They have never proven to come through yet under Marlin.

Sure, like fourth with a generic postseason tournament bid.
