Speed up the change
But who's gonna feed teams after they beat us? For just .$25 a day, you can sponsor a winning baseball player- Call 1-800-LFL-PRTY
It's likely gonna be over at the end of the season. We aren't competitive in nature.
No we don't. Just time for Zac to do his job. Send Lemonis out. Sooner rather than later.
AgreedQuote:

No argument from me. Nobody likes to see that crap, especially in person.
Going to baseball games is now like going to The Grove for our fan base. They could care less what the score is or is going to be. It is just a social club.
I agree! And that is very sad! I don’t know if winning will cure this. I would hope our new coach will help bring the old culture of the Dude where our place was he## to play at!Quote:

That is a great idea. Lets withhold the money we need to hire our new coach.
And we have folks basically saying we can no longer be competitive in college sports. So if that narrative actually plays out, our games become social entertainment instead. Or alternatively our program dies.Quote:

Let’s also get rid of Lemonis and save monies on having to over paying of elite players because none of them want to come play for him! Just saying!Quote:

That?s what happens. Teams start losing and fans stop going.
This isn?t revolutionary.
And maybe you are right. But people used to AT THE VERY LEAST, pay attention to the game. Now you can go out there and walk up to 10 people, and I am not talking find sorority girls who do not look like they give a crap, and 8 of them will not know the score of the ballgame or what inning it is. That is sad.Quote:

If what I've heard is accurate, I think fans better understand, baseball is no longer the priority it once was and coaching changes are less likely unless it's so bad boosters want to throw their money at it.
I get it but it still sucks knowing we won?t realistically ever compete in the sports the money is being allocated to now.Quote:

And we would go right back to the bottom. We have talent now in baseball but it's obviously poorly coached and we don't play with a drive to win. If we are not going to emphasize winning in baseball then it's pretty clear we are satisfied in athletics just trying to be somewhat competitive in everything but elite in nothing. Our baseball program should be elite now and long after Selmon has left for a different job.Quote:

Some more serious with wins and losses but most there to enjoy the social aspect. So it is a big social event and everyone is even happier when Dawgs win.Quote:

Ok for sure back in the day it was somewhat a social event or like tailgating. But I also remember me and my buddies would live and die on every pitch. As did most around us. I help start leftfield lounge. My pickup most of the time was dead center leftfield backed up to the fence. This was the Bruce Castoria era and before the rigs and permanent spots were established. I still have a home run ball hit by Bruce that crashed thru the back windshield of my truck.
Then years later I owned 4 seats behind home plate. And the people around me there sure the heck did not regard the game a social event. Most there were the most intense win or lose. That is the reason the Dude is known for such a special/hard place to play. Yes there were losing seasons. That?s what I want back instead of our fans sitting in church pews.
Well if Bo Bounds is saying we won't fire him or can't fire him then that means they're leaning towards staying out of the way for now.Quote:

Attendance will remain strong. As it should.
Lemon needs to start winning games. It's highly unlikely any move is made before the end of the season. We play SC, Bama, Fla, and Auburn the next 4 weekends. We could go 9-3 in the stretch. 8-4. Lots of meat left on the bone this season
I wouldn't care if he runs the table, which he won't. And highly unlikely needs to happen real soon or we'll need a HC and an AD.Quote:

I like Lemonis and am rooting for him.
I hope he turns it around.
rosebowl say there is no smoke to this fire........
If he makes a regional I'll put it 90/10.Quote:
