Kevin got fired after that season if memory serves. Tom had success fairly early but the last years were painful. Good guys though.

Things went South for Apke the last two years. He also had the misfortune of being at App during ETSU’s hey day.

Are we including Bobby Cremins hmmmmm …. In my time in watching App state basketball, I would put it as this... Cremins Kerns Buzz 1st time Fancher Buzz 2nd time (just in terms of coaching that team -- not what he did to the program after) Cantwell/Apke (both the same in my book) Capel/Fox (same as...

Texas State is not the powerhouse we thought they were, apparently.

My understanding is that neither Wright nor McHugh has done much to give a great deal of confidence to their status as the backup.

Who are the APP baseball announcers on ESPN+ ?

Matt Present does PBP. He has experience calling minor league games in Florida at the AAA level. He’s also the radio guy for men’s basketball.

Only 3-8 on the night…UGLY Tuesday! BUT, we won handily! Gotta love that!

The conference played four P5 programs and took a pretty solid beating in each of them.

Has their coach publicly announced that he is coming back? Surprisingly, I don't believe there has been any type of announcement :lol: The only announcement myself and others expect is a reworked contract with Kerns. According to online articles he was only paid 325k plus incentives. He needs to be...

Any word on the search to fill the vacancy?

Didn’t Burns play his double A ball at Winthrop ?

Yes. Started at UT, then Winthrop, and finally State.

The only communication that I would expect is if there is an extension to his contract. He still has two years left so it isn’t necessarily going to be done. While it might provide stability, I don’t necessarily believe that it will be a factor in some guys taking their names out of the portal. It ...

Nineteen of the 40 starters in the elite 8 began their careers somewhere other than the team they started for this weekend.

Did anyone other than Duke have all original starters?

Tennessee had 4 originals. Purdue might have 5. I should have posted the link.

Spillers has Wake and LSU among his schools.

In his entire coaching career of seven years, he has had only one losing season, and that was his first season. He took over a program that was in dire straits and proceeded to provide five years of at least .500 ball each season. He has secured three postseason berths in that time, though no wins i...

Maybe he didn’t get the offers we thought he would.

I certainly could be proven wrong, but I never thought he was the hot commodity some have thought. Certainly not for any high profile job.

JMU has hired Morehead State's coach. He has a string of 20 win seasons and two NCAA tournament trips.

Frankly, I really don't see Kerns being the choice of a previously successful peer or above program. There might be a program out there that has the resources but just hasn't found success. I just don't see a program like Charleston putting Kerns in their sights.

Here is an interesting article on student fees, primarily as it applies to JMU.

Which building is Wey? When I was in school Herb Wey was the Chancellor (President at the time). Was an existing building renamed in his honor?

It's on the back side of Newland.
