    Yep. EOB today is where it's trending. I doubt we see and official University release, but the big names will have it. I know they are finalizing some stuff now and working on a release. Have to get Keenum and Selmon back from Destin as well to meet with him.

    University plane is a little tougher to track. You have to know the tail number and look on different sites.

    This is how you build a legacy, Burt. Wrong 90% of the time but write 10% when it actually counts. Never let them know you’re next move. Always keep them guessing.

    Can confirm all of this. It is amazing what we can do when the right people get together to get things done. Kudos to the Baseball Alums and others who have put their money where their mouth is and are helping to make all this happen.

    Will C. Getting more involved and being a presence midseason showed me that we were cooking with grease. This has been a long time coming and I agree on being thankful to them.

    He's part but other parts came from other guys not so famous that have done very well for themselves. It really helps that we have a agent on our side to see us thru these things now. The majority didn't trust enough to get involved until more recently.

    This is so good, it feels like a mirage.

    Next thing yall are going to tell me is that Coggins will be the BOC hitting coach and Kate Upton is going to dance on the dugout between innings.

    He's bringing Kevin McMullan with him. McMullan is one of the top hitting coaches in college baseball. He's been with Oak for around 18 years or so.

    From what I've heard, the only assistant he isn't bringing with him is his pitching coach Drew Dickinson. He is apparently bringing all of his off the field staff as well. I'm curious if he brings is "Mindfulness and performance consultant."

    Brandon Guyer. Do you think he would not bring him?

    The PLAN is to bring McMullan. He will get serious consideration for that HC job.

    I doubt it. He will be like a 58 year old first time head coach.

    Bumping a question from someone else:

    Does having BOC repair the John Grisham situation.

    BOC did give a roster spot to the Grisham's kid. It would give MSU an additional billionaire alumnus so that Adkerson and Coach34 aren't paying for everything.

    No because he does not get along with O’Conner either as of about the last 15 years. We also have repaired that relationship some in years past. Not saying he will be giving us any money but the relationship is better than it was in the late 90s-early 00s
