Tragic number is 5.
However, we cannot be eliminated this week because we do not play a conference series.
If Middle gets a sweep this week-end, we will be down to 2.
We will make it to the month of May before elimination.
Middle Tennessee wins... Tragic number down to 4...
After all of week-end action, tragic number is 3.
Only by the grace of the CUSA office are we still alive the first weekend in May
''Don't be a bad dagh..."
There is still a possibility to drag this out a while longer though.
Marshall and Charlotte are both on the outside looking in and we play those two in the next two series. Middle is playing .500 ball on the season.
Stay alive for two more weeks and then all we have to do is sweep Rice in Houston the last week-end of the season.
Middle lost last night too, so the Tragic Number is down to 2.
That means... today could be the day. Basically to the point of winning out with a whole lot of losses by a whole lot of teams. Frankly, we may be already mathematically eliminated based upon who plays who from here on out. I just don't have the inclination to look it up because I think it is safe to assume the inevitable.
Playing for pride now. We don't have to finish in the cellar. Go Dawgs!
Florida Atlantic wins... which means Tech is officially eliminated...
