Thanks for the stats, CT. I think it's also fair to point out that in several of those seasons our overall staff numbers were significantly bolstered by one ace who was among the best in the country. While it's true that every staff has an ace with the best stats on staff, my gut says that the dropoff between guys like the Beck brothers, Alex Williams and Quinn Matthews and the rest of our staff has been steeper than most programs. This over reliance on an ace has come back to bite us in June as seen in Williams' dead arm and B. Beck having to throw the 9th of the Vandy CWS game despite clearly running on fumes.
