I would like to see these guys start mashing the ball and score more runs. We have been less than stellar batting against a far inferior opponent

No foresight at all. There won't be a SEC or Big Ten in 5 years. Just one league called something else. Being a founding member of the SEC won't matter at all at that point. We better get respectable in football in a hurry or the good folks of La Tech and South Alabama are gonna really enjoy our baseball facility for conference series.Quote:

Yes, 18 straight across 22-23 sucked. And Lemonis got fired. We may have given him a year too many - but it's hard to justify firing a coach who won a Natty without giving him a chance to correct things. Either way, when the time came, our folks stepped up and we got a top line coach
When we end up firing Lebby, we will fight for an OC who is flavor of the month, rinse and repeat. Maybe we can try to find someone with ties to The Bear like used to.
Why do you post random bullshit? Cohen went 6-24 one seasonQuote:

The new football league you guys keep clutching your pearls over if it happens doesnt want to be a league of Titans. They dont want to have a Natty type game every week or teams will get beat to shit and back. They have to have some easy games here and there in the schedule. Nobody wants a league where the playoff teams are all 9-3 to 7-5 because its all Blue Bloods
Stop the pearl clutching and enjoy baseball season.
One of the big reasons we don’t succeed is because our fans like to stick their heads in the sand instead of understanding the future.
Exactly. There will be a realignment and football will be the sport with the overwhelming weight. The SEC will be comprised of the teams that don’t make it into the Super Leagues that are created. Yeah…we won’t be kicked out of the SEC but the SEC will be a glorified CUSA at that point.Quote:

Big 2 sports*. NO ONE CARES ABOUT BASEBALL.Quote:

The SEC does. 9 of the top 10 teams in attendance are from the SEC. Since 2017, the CWS champ has been from the SEC every year except 1 in 2018.Quote:

And for the record, hockey factors in to Big 10 decisions too. They care about it like we care about baseball.
It would be good for college baseball for the Big 10 to make the decision to become the 2nd best conference rather than the 4th or 5th best like they are now. Michigan, Nebraska, and the West Coast additions are taking it seriously, but baseball needs Ohio State to start caring.
It wasn’t that long ago they and more of the big 10 did, right now it’s Michigan and the west coast teams that do. But baseball is a sunshine sport.Quote:

Just because it's cold in the early part of the season doesn't mean you can't attract good talent and have competitive teams if you're able and willing to fund them.
34 is right MSU will be around after you and I are gone. Some people are just dumbasses, and they can't help it It's all in the DNA!Quote:

The Big 10 has never committed to baseball. It's their fault. No different than Mizzou in the SEC if you think about it.Quote:
