Team ERA keeps dropping.

it really is possible to get this thing down to under 2.00!! Wow!

that's really hard to grasp. agree with others, it won't stay that low, but still to even go down under that mark is incredible.
 
Yup, I'm very intrigued to see how we do against KSU. The Wildcats have been very good at home, so this should be another good challenge/character building opportunity for the team.
 
Forgot to mention another reason ERAs go up in the post-season is the competition tends to be better.

Here is part of what I meant regarding "what lies ahead" for this pitching staff: Our past three trips to Columbia:[pre]Year Runs Allowed
2004 4 / 8 / 0 [12 / 3 ==>4 runs per game*]
2006 6 / 8 / 7 [21 / 3 ==7 runs per game]
2008 31 / 13 / 2** [46 / 3 ==> 15.33 runs per game]
Total 41 / 29 / 9 [79 / 9 ==>8.78 runs per game][/pre]

I didn't do a breakdown of earned versus total runs.

* Third game was seven innings because we run-ruled them.
** Chance Ruffin's famous first conference start.
 
Remember that no matter what a pitcher does on any given day/night, the bats must do something or it's a loss. I've known of many great pitchers with very low ERA's that have more losses than wins because of NO help from the batters. We have to get those bats coming around. We have a great team, but you can't depend on your pitchers for everything.
 
using the 2.12 number. There is one team within .88 of Texas, then there are 20 more teams from 3.00 to 3.88!

Now that is staggering!

I think the statistics experts can tell us exactly what that means, but I think it means a big time outlier. Can't remember exactly what Standard deviation means, but I bet it's more than 2 or 3 of those suckers away.
