Before the 2023 Arkansas game: "I haven't been this excited to watch our offense in years!"
After the 2023 Arkansas game (in which we scored 7 points and had 205 yards): "I was right! We were almost on pace for 300 yards for a while in the 2nd quarter!"

Those 2 were truths until after midseason

Lemon will never make another Regional
No way we will be one of the top SEC teams in draft picks
Hugesak is not an SEC hitter
No way the 25 team hits more HR's than the 24 team
No way the 25 team is better offensively than 24 after losing its 3 best offensive players
Ligon is not an SEC SP
We dont have any talent
We're getting abused in the portal signing guys from SC Upstate
I could go on as well....blah blah blah

Have you been there lately? It ain't the same place. For example - one of my good buddies here that played pro ball has a son pitching at lake Travis as a sophomore and highly recruited. He ain't committing to Texas just because he and his family are ready to get outta there.

And that our strength would be our Bullpen

The young man just hit .400 in sec play. Ponder on that for a few moments. Im not letting anybody poopoo on my excitement for next year. Lets go!!
I think Ace will be a lot better defensively next year. This was his first year playing third base and he wasn't too bad. Also, I wasn't really impressed with Gautreau as far as defense goes. Or Cheesebrough if you are talking catchers.
Going on a small tangent here- I think the biggest difference our fans will notice under O'Connor is the improved fundamentals.

Lemonis (and maybe lack of NIL) lost all momentum that we had and now we have to rebuild our reputation as one of the top 4 or 5 programs in the country.
Most portal players want to get paid and win right now. We need to get back to winning at a high level and then getting the top players will be easier. Right now, I?d say that lsu, ark, Tenn, texas, vandy, and even Georgia are all ahead of us in the ?attractiveness? category. That is just in the SEC. If we can win at a high level next year, we will create a lot of attention for ourselves and possibly get back into the discussion to be in the mix on many of the best players.
All of that said, we currently have what, 3 of the top 6 portal players? Yeah, they came with OConner, but we have them. I don?t think we are doing as poorly as it seems to some.
Right now we probably added the top pitcher in the portal in Valinicous AND he has two years of eligibility left. Nunnalee and Teel were really big adds as well.

Lol it don't work like that chief. I was going to be a professional baseball player until I wasn't. That doesn't mean me being a pro baseball player has any truth to it.
Keep trolling though, it's amusing to the 20 people here.

I cant change the truth. We got 10 figure donations to the baseball program over halfway thru the season. Shit changes Chief. We had guys say **** this and make some calls then write a check. Our boosters stepped up this April. But sorry Biff- that shit wasnt there in March.

I'd like to sincerely thank Va for forcing out a top Coach by telling him we aint gonna fund baseball to be a top program. They gifted us a coach that was ranked #2 in the country preseason that missed making a Regional after we fired a coach that built teams that made Regionals the last 2 years. BOC's players at Va are top portal transfers yet nobody asks why they didnt make a Regional with all that damn talent???
BOC underwhelmed more in 2025 than the ****er we just fired. Talk your shit but that is straight up facts. Va didnt lack talent in 2025 and still couldnt make a Regional. But keep talking that shit boys while top portal guys not from Va dont sign with us

Nobody remembers or cares whether you were right or wrong on any of those things.

Him crowning Bucket Coach a King over BOC is ridiculous, His King Coach has a history of winning off other recruits then being below average overall. It's pretty easy to see. Time to ignore his take as his predictions lately have been way off. He used to write good post but now he is bitter and negative on Msu and small-town Vegas! But he loved smaller town Cleveland, LOL!

Proves he'd rather be right than MSU succeed. He's a "Poor Ole" in every sense of the word.
