: Absolutely. His crappy record here speaks volumes about how far this program has fallen. The question is, how much more mediocrity will anderson and the boosters tolerate???

Ray Anderson:
"Bobby Winkles and then (Jim) Brock and then Murphy, had some success. Last World Series here was in 1981. Murphy didn’t win a World Series, Esmay didn’t win a World Series, Brock I think won one or two but that’s a long time ago. . . .It really doesn’t matter what I think of the expectations of the fans. It’s the fact that the fans here at ASU baseball believe that this is an elite baseball program and should always be."
". . . it doesn’t matter whether or not I think they’re realistic or not. Our fanbase believes they’re realistic and that’s what we have to work towards."
Ray does not see ASU as an elite program and will not commit to making it into one. Tracy, "Good Enough For ASU", Smith is just an extension of Ray's attitude.
