Just blows my mind how these pitchers get here and can't throw strikes.

THIS! How do you give a cent of scholarship/NIL to anyone who consistently walks and/or hits batters? I get it if you are a little rattled on the road, but we have seen this far too often on our home field/mound. It's inexcusable, and those who can't throw strikes need to be purged from the roster. This is basic fundamental pitching...pound the zone.

Looks like he started it

All the footage shows he absolutely started it. You can see Dawn and her staff repeatedly say "don't say that". Not a huge fan of DS, but she was right getting back in his face and not taking that crap from the prima-donna. He is NOT use to getting his arse beat by a more talented and athletic team....and does not know how to handle it.

Personally I'm glad she fired back. :cheers:

at least he only got warned and not ejected

Exactly. I LMAO when I saw the bat flipping high in the air as they were tracking the ball towards RF. I said out loud, hope he does not get ejected and they scratch his run. GREAT W for the Tigers. Build on it boys, and don't look back.

Wade GOOD but not ELITE

Fair point. While at LSU I thought his tourney teams had warts that led to early elimination. The lack of discipline to stick with & run their Offense often led to panicking and getting off bad shots.

With that said I think he knows what NIL and the portal can do for a program and he has seen firsthand what it takes to compete & succeed in both the SEC & ACC.

Things are going great

That is what he keeps telling you....like the downtown mob scene in Animal House, "remain calm, all is well" and he gets trampled. :lol:

Yep, the son replacement is a more hard-liner than his father and the Strait is now a mess, total mess which Iran has clearly learned they can leverage as key terrain as they desire. And all the while at home we have unidentified drones flying over our military installations. :rolleyes:

Love it, I remember the big barrel showed up in LL for the first time in the late 70's (78 to be exact). They were different and had some pop.

My son and his teammates, 14-15 years ago, were big fans of the Demarini Vodoo models. They were BBCOR, but they had some flex & pop. Around that same time Demarini was blazoned on the LSU dugout wall.
Good stuff.

It's lame that the administration is continuing to sell this dumbed down "they were going to attack us first" thing as a defense to Kent's statement.

Spot on! The more they even try to explain it, the more incompetent they sound.

We gave up 13, 11 and 9 runs.

No doubt, and we HELPED them all weekend with a combined 28 free passes over a 3-game series. Tell anyone you are going to give the other team 28 free bases, and you are going to get swept, by crooked numbers.

We played better on Sunday for a W, and I believe most would agree we should have won the Friday night opener. The team has much work to do. The core-players (Milam, Brown, Curiel, Stanfield, etc) of this team need to pull & push the others with them, and we need to figure out the pitchers who can consistently pound the zone in SEC play. If you can't, have a darn seat.

Let's build on the Sunday W and keep moving forward.

Yep the Iranians will have NO nukes

That capability was supposedly "obliterated" last year.....

Objectives, Measures of Effectiveness (to include the ability to pivot to branches/sequels, i.e closing the Strait of Hormuz) and Endstate (with exit strategy). We'll see, but the almost daily changing narrative does not help their case, the financial markets, and the confidence of the American people.
