What do you mean exactly? Jay coached the 22 season.


Ah yeah, I got the years mixed up, they weren’t already signed. But they were already committed to LSU when we hired Jay.
quote:

How do you figure that? Jones and Frey were freshmen in 2023.


Do you think they just popped up on the radar and committed and signed with LSU after Johnson got hired?
quote:

In the end, he has to hit it out the park in the portal this offseason or next season wont be any real different to this year for him.


They kind of need to take the Florida State/UConn approach. Link Jarrett uses every smaller conference school in Florida essentially as a feeder program for FSU. UConn does something similar but with like D3 schools in the Northeast.

There are enough players in the Carolinas that make it to smaller schools and then blow up that they should be able to get a decent portal crop each year.
quote:

Reckon how much more of this he can take? He probably should re-retire at season’s end.


He looked checked out during the Clemson series. And they hadn't even reached SEC play by then.
quote:

Because of the new transfer rules and NIL more players are going college, players are migrating to the larger programs and the top programs are flush with talent.


He took over a program that players should be migrating to.

If they aren't, whose fault is that?
quote:

We all knew maneri thought the ideal baseball prospect was 5'8 150 lbs.


He's the one that brought in Jared Jones and Ethan Frey.

ETA: Regardless, his comments are complete bullshite. Even if he underestimated things, he had several assistant coaches who were not retired for the last 3 years.

Maybe you're just not getting it done Paul.
Omaha just defeated Big East leading Creighton in a midweek tilt.

Every non-conference opponent win is a good thing for us, however small the impact may be.
Current team – Plays Southland top dogs Southeastern Louisiana. At the very least, there will be visual evidence this game is being played. Can’t say the same for games in Hammond, America.

quote:

Same is true for the conference as a whole.


Definitely agree
quote:

No, buddy. That’s not what that means. It means that in the aggregate two games we were outplayed. That does not mean we were outplayed in each of the two games. Again, your comprehension is at fault.


And here you are being dishonest.
quote:

How does having all 16 teams reduce the fan experience?


They're reducing the incentive to travel to the tournament by increasing the number of teams that will only be there for 1 day.
quote:

project, do you know his contract situation?


He's on a minor league contract, so he'd have to be added to the 40 man to be called up.
quote:

Geez, you went off the deep end, man. Sorry for upsetting you.


Go frick yourself you lying retard.
quote:

Hint: I never implied we were outplayed in game 1.


Correct, you did not imply it. You said it directly.

quote:

This is no doubt true, and is the reason the first two games we were outplayed.


quote:

but this format is clearly to give #13 or #14 a shot


Which I personally find dumb. Though I know that may not be the majority opinion.
quote:

You're right. My bad, It's Friday/Saturday starts for the regional, not Thursday/Friday.


Friday/Saturday starts doesn't begin until the Super Regional round.
quote:

I saw it. It was poor sportsmanship.


No it wasn't. It was celebrating. You saw what you wanted to see, which was something to bitch about.

Because that's all you are is a fricking bitch.
quote:

This is no doubt true, and is the reason the first two games we were outplayed.


Either you can't read, you can't think, or you can't make your fingers type what your brain is trying to say.

Because your response was really, really fricking stupid. And choosing to die on the hill of we were outplayed in game 1 is also really, really fricking stupid.

Every single run in the game was scored after some sort of defensive miscue that would have otherwise prevented the eventual runs. All of them. Theirs and ours.

You fricking retards that want to seem smarter than the room by being negative all the time is fricking tiring.
quote:

possible wreck their pitching for the regional that may start on Thursday.


False.
quote:

Will the new format hurt attendance?


I hope so.

But in hoping so, I also hope they realize the single elimination is the problem and not the location.

Don't let these jacklegs from Texas con people into thinking the tournament should move away from Hoover.
