First off, f*ck USA and what they think. That is completely irrelevant and doesn't even deserved to be mentioned. As a matter of fact, I want the opposing team be pissed. But, I'm going to go out on a limb and guess that USA wasn't pissed, they will probably take the win just like we would if we could.
Second, an embarrassment to the university, the team, and the fans?... No. Lose a game to them in football and its embarrassing to the university, team, and the fans. Last night might have sucked, but we'll get over it.

Not talking about the loss as an embarasement, talking about how we went about the loss. down 3-0 in the 7th inning and sending 4 pitchers to the plate is pretty much conceeding the game, if not then we should expect to see them in the lineup this weekend. Look, if they can hit and help this team win, great, put them in the lineup and lets go, but I suspect their not great hitters overall or they would have already been playing

Once again you have no clue what you are talking about... Let me break this down for you so maybe you will understand it. Listen carefully now....
He didnt use the pitchers because they are better hitters than what we have. THEY ARENT BETTER HITTERS THAN WHAT WE HAVE. He used them to send a F*#*&%^ wake up call to the guys. IF you dont give me your all, I will find someone that will. This has nothing to do with him trying to find the best hitter the other night. IT was a jolt to the team. It meant no one is above the law except the coaches. If Rooker doesnt give 110%, he will yank his ass and put in someone who will... Same goes for Mangum, Stovall, Gridley, LA, Poole, Bragg, Lovelady, you name it.... The loss to South Bama should have been a wake up call to the guys. If they thought they were gonna walk in and whip their ass and then go back home and wait on Bama, they thought wrong. Thats the great thing about baseball. Anyone can beat anyone at any time. Look at Coastal last yr. How many people picked them to win it all?? Not many, if any... All it takes is to get hot at the right time and have a decent regional/super regional draw. If the guys come out this wknd and go on a tear, we will all look back at this and say, "DAMN, Cann is the man and knew exactly what he was doing.." Now as far as him throwing the players under the bus, I have no 17in clue what your talking about. I watched all the pressers and never heard him say one word about the guys personally. I heard him say your gonna give me your all r sit by me on the bench. He never called out a specific player. We all knew who he was talking about tho. It wasnt that hard to figure out. You will not see the pitchers in the line up this wknd, so stop asking about it. Its that F*&%in simple dude.

So if we need another wake up call this weekend down 1 or 2 runs in the 7th inning we should say the heck with trying to win the game lets pinch hit someone who is not a better hitter to send another message. Plus, I'm not pissed about who we lost to, South Alabama is a good team and are always competative, and I agree with you, sometimes the better team does not win and the likes of the Coastal Carolinas do, anything can happen and on any given night anyone can win, that is part of the beauty of baseball.

The wake-up call Tuesday night was for this weekend. Midweek games and SEC series are not the same thing. I don't know what Cann will do if they need another wake-up call this weekend but every damn player in that dugout knows that if they aren't giving maximum effort they will be sitting on the bench next to the coach and that's the way it should be.

Every game should be played to win at this level, every time, not just on SEC weekends, period. Do I believe Coach Cann wants to win, absolutely I do, but don't concede a game to prove a point.

Exactly, and the players weren't putting in the effort to win so the coach made changes.
