Y'all the only G5 team that's got a shot at the P5 is SMU and it's b/c they have the money. They are loaded to the hills and using the left over to wipe their butts. I see it first hand living here in Dallas and listening to their alums If UCF and Boise can't make it then we can't either. Football ...

https://d1baseball.com/postseason/2024-d1baseball-field-of-64-projections-may-8/ 5 Sun Belt teams in the field of 64. This conference is really good! Louisiana 2 seed Coastal 3 seed- need y'all to finish strong to get our Q1 wins back. Southern Miss 3 seed Troy 2 seed JMU 3 seed (Man, I want that se...

G5 will become feeder program for P5 in the NIL era. I don’t think coaches look at that way. They want players that want to play. They aren’t interested in guys looking for cash. Here is an article on Brian Kelly’s approach on transfers. https://blondiewithlove.it/2024/05/08/bl-wlv/RTsd245818LtCu40...

Didn't know what to do without a midweek game.

IF funds were to be reinvested in other programs baseball might be one to look at closely. We play in a marquee conference and there is a ton of interest in college baseball. Not sure how additional funds would really make a difference but in my opinion we aren't very far off from becoming a progra...

We’re 49-166 in Sun Belt conference play since we joined. It’s been better in 2021-2022 but that is putrid. Baseball was putrid in the Sun Belt for a while, even in the first 2ish years or Kermit, and we had MLB-level talent on the team. Correct, stated above a few posts ago. We were heading down a...

Softball had a winning record in 2019, 2021 and 2022, and likely would have had one in 2020 if the season happened. Two years ago we were three outs from winning a series versus Louisiana, who hasn't lost a Sun Belt series in years and years. Softball isn't that far off the pace IMO. We’re 49-166 i...

Probably shouldn't be spending millions on a new stadium for a team that is 8-38 in conference the past 2 years and is up against the "difficult weather" every year.
Can't recall but maybe that's grant money or state funded money.
This could probably be said about a few teams over the years though.

Did Pollard or Smith have a stated goal to win the College World Series? Can we go 12-0? Sure Can we win the SBC? Sure Can the players and coaches do tangible work to reach those goals? Yes Does achieving those goals guarantee that they make the CFP? No. It certainly helps their chances, but it is ...

I don’t think the playoffs are a pipe dream. Difficult task, yes. For now, one G5 team gets in, so we might as well aim for the stars. I will never just settle for conference championships, but it would be nice to win one again. I admit having high aspirations leads to disappointment but it’s the o...

I’ll take a wait and see approach on all of these guys. One would hope that the staff wouldn’t take someone if they didn’t feel like they could perform in the scheme. I get that they are shiny new toys from P5 programs but what’s in the name on the back of the jersey that should level set expectati...

Huge series win! Best pitching day of the year.
Go Apps!

Now score another Td!

Let’s have a quick one here just to get to 4.5 innings. Then we can score another touchdown.

Church on Sunday. 12-0.

Maybe we should tap the breaks a little to make sure this goes official.

Yes sir. Don’t want So Alabama “slowing it down”, so it doesn’t go official.

What a day.
12-0 Apps! Bombs over Boone

Weather popping up in the area. Anyone know our “drop dead” time for travel? Do we have to get thru 5 to call it a W/L/T? 9-0 Apps! 4.5 innings, so long as we have the lead. Georgia Tech pulled that on UGA this year. They were down 9-1 in B5 and decided to call it haha. No registered game. Just hea...

Think we’ll play a home game with leaves on the trees? This one kinda, but last series of the year for sure. It’ll be looking great for the stink series. Feels like a late bloom this year. I fully expected to see a full bloom today. If that’s the only disappointment I will be ecstatic. All these ho...
