I wouldn't mind the drama if we had him here, and still wish we would've gotten him, although I'm not completely sold that he can get out of his own way and put together a complete season and win a championship.
I am definitely a fan of Sumrall, but also acknowledge that we "settled". I'm 100% on board now, and absolutely say "let's see what this guy can do in the fall?"

Got the sweep against LSU, not putting much stock in that but the offense did what they needed to, scored a lot of runs.
Now on to the winner of KY/Vandy game in Hoover.

Lot of delays over the weekend and short turnaround for game 3 but they got it done. Now time to go into Baton Rouge and sweep!
Yep, I was right there with you. I don’t see this team making any kind of run in the post season with how up and down they’ve been all year but hopefully they can get a little hot streak going and surprise us.
Great series win against OU this weekend. Bats got hot the last 2 games after blowing a late lead on Friday. Hopefully we can finish the season strong against UK and put the final nail in the coffin of LSUs season with a sweep the last weekend of the year.

This teams ups and downs are pretty epic, definitely weird win/loss resume.
We were in DC a couple weeks ago and there's TONS of construction and repairs being done all around DC. We talked to several people that said Trump is pushing to have DC in tip top shape for July 4 and is spending a lot of money to get it done.

I'd like to see where Florida was on the fielding chart before this past weekend.

Just got the sweep against Arkansas!! We did leave 33 men on base over the weekend, but bats definitely looked better overall. Great series!

Beating #4 Arkansas is pretty sweet too

Dude, please get another schtick. This one is played out.
Another W against the Noles, and pitched another shutout. Maybe we’ll figure it out ??

Freaking disgusting.
Very shitty weekend. Thought they were gonna pull it out today but they imploded.
So, Tran starts sriracha company, sriracha company blows up so he sets up a shell corporation and tries to strong arm the farm to sell to the shell company at an extremely reduced rate? Why did he think this would work?
Not being able to find sriracha has sucked for sure but frick that douche.
Beating the Noles definitely helps, but we got a long way to go if we plan to make any kind of run.
Very much a chicken shite decision by Miami.
Great series win against the Canes. The Canes were averaging 16 runs/game coming into this weekend, UF pitching has held them to 2 and 4 runs in the first 2 games.
Hopefully we can wrap up the sweep this afternoon.
Buncha whiney bitches in here. Go buy some gifts and give them away, that's what makes you feel good. Or grow the frick up and don't do it if it's so "stressful".

What does a GM do? Just wondering


Not sure what our GM will do but while watching the Texas Tech game last weekend the announcers said their GM had the power to sign/offer NIL money to recruits. The announcers said this left the coaching staff to focus on the on field product. Not sure if their GM is fully responsible for recruiting but I like the idea of a GM having that as at least a part of their responsibilities.
