No. I’m referring to the cavalcade of excuses fans give as to why baseball at App pales in comparison to other midmajors in our region.311neers wrote: ↑Sat Sep 21, 2024 3:41 pmI know this is sarcasm.

Re: JMU is wearing out UNC
Clearly, the problem is the Sun Belt. Every D1 sport at App forced to play as an affiliate in a different conference than the SBC is currently that conference's defending champion.APPdiesel wrote: ↑Sat Sep 21, 2024 3:56 pmNo. I’m referring to the cavalcade of excuses fans give as to why baseball at App pales in comparison to other midmajors in our region.311neers wrote: ↑Sat Sep 21, 2024 3:41 pmI know this is sarcasm.

This is the climate of college sports now. You never know who is going to show up and play and who won’t. Paid mercenaries have no country to fight for. It’s just about the money.

Re: JMU is wearing out UNC
Like we are the only baseball team in the nation that plays in high altitude? I remember all the excuses from Laney and a few others. It is so funny. I really am amazed at what we have accomplished with so many excuse makers and incompetence at our school at times.APPdiesel wrote: ↑Sat Sep 21, 2024 3:34 pmIt’s not just football.

Re: JMU is wearing out UNC
Was at the game. Our daughter is a UNC freshman. JMU nothing special but much better than UNC today and us thus far for season. Other daughter graduated from State so our family is O'fer this weekend in embarrassing fashion. On the bright side we took the luxury of leaving at halftime today with the rest of the mass exodus from Keenan

Re: JMU is wearing out UNC
You were saying the same shit last year and look how it turned out. Clearly Clark isn’t the guy to get App to the playoff, but it doesn’t mean JMU is going to come into Boone and cake walk. South Alabama got 2 weeks of prep and rest to App’s 3 days. Let’s see what happens moving forward before casting too much judgment.
As it turns out, Clemson is really good. The UGA game got away from them but it doesn’t matter. If Miami and Clemson continue to win; both will get in the playoff. The UGA game was nothing more than a preseason exhibition with the new playoff.

Re: JMU is wearing out UNC
Indeed. Baseball is doing well now and we have had good seasons. There were several who said we could not ever be good at baseball though. Just laughable at all the excuses we get.

Re: JMU is wearing out UNC
I don't expect JMU to cake walk us. Depending on how Liberty looks tonight I expect us to beat them but I still think we go 7-5 or 8-4 unless I see a lot of improvement over the next 3 games though. I do think the SBC is down this year and our champ might be 9-3.ericsaid wrote: ↑Sat Sep 21, 2024 6:42 pmYou were saying the same shit last year and look how it turned out.

Re: JMU is wearing out UNC
Barnett figured something out today. He had been garbage in every start and then today comes in with almost 500 yards of offense and 7 touchdowns.AppStFan1 wrote: ↑Sat Sep 21, 2024 6:45 pmI don't expect JMU to cake walk us.

I just think the doom and gloom here is a bit much. There is a huge amount of attrition on the defense already, to the point where freshman are playing at every level.
On offense, you’re really lacking speed. Ponce has always had one or two speed guys to stretch the field and that is missing right now. At the ECU game, receivers couldn’t get off of man coverage. At ECU, receivers couldn’t get off of man coverage. South Alabama seemed to play quarters a lot which is ideal for stopping the deeper routes, and they were able to win up front despite being outmanned in numbers.
So how do you fix that? Speed.

From what standpoint? I don’t think it brings in much money to the University but probably the wrong person to ask.

Re: JMU is wearing out UNC
The baseball team is not a revenue generator if you are talking from a net positive cash flow...The stadium is very rarely filled to 1/2 to 2/3 capacity. The games are enjoyable. However, it is not a net positive cash flow is my guess.

Re: JMU is wearing out UNC
Part of my concern on the speed issue is that we either did not go out and try to get it or we just missed out and got beat by our piers for it.
