I'm not getting my "panties in a bunch". "Lacked expeience"? They returned 6 starters from the year prior and one of the Regions top pitchers from the season before and the rest had experience through out the season. This season they return 7 starters (Counting D. Vanhoose, cause he was a starting pitcher last season), and a bunch of kids that got lots of experience last season and some good young talent.

Your remark came off as not a bragg. The rivalry has always been there. And always will be.

The above statement is a little contradicting. You talk about having 6 returning starters for the 2011 season. So if the 2011 team had "experience" and their record was 15-14 (1 game above 0.500) then how would returning 1 more experienced player this season going to make such a huge difference in wins and losses. Especially without Jackson, who may have been the best pitcher in the region last year.
