    Tourney Central (It’s time for ball!)

    Guy is an imbecile................ We are going to have great seasons during the next two years and that should muzzle this Gator. He is the dumbest poster on the Board. "Frost to Gators. I heard it from the AD himself. Wait! Wait! The AD called back and said Chip Kelly!" When we smash...

    USC Trojans just hired the former Head Coach at Loyola Marymount. There are a multitude of excellent articles on how difficult it is for USC to compete on an even scale due to the 11.7 scholarship restrictions. Swann talks extensively about it. He specifically mentions how certain schools are...

    The average aid PER student given by Vanderbilt is $51,787. If baseball players simply receive the average payment, they are basically attending Vanderbilt for free. The lottery awards, coupled with state tuition, provide Florida, Louisiana, Tennessee and Georgia baseball players with free...

    Watch him return........... Really dislike the guy and the way that he treated Morris. I was concerned that the fates would grant him the Series this year. Glad that they did not!

    That he is! Same evil just a different form.

    Am breathing a little easier tonight. I was sure Martin would win it all this year. (Now if we could only get rid of the gnome.......)

    FSU wins this year....... We better beat the Gators in August (sorry gnome/troll) but this is a Hurricane board!!!

    I stated it mid-season that the West Coast teams were not competitive. UCLA has elite talent, but they are facing too much weak competition during the season. Stanford and UCLA were the only truly robust teams on the West Coast this year. RPI was remarkably prescient this year. Strong...

    These ******** are winning the Series. We need MSU or Vanderbilt to step up.

    ******* is going to win it all and ruin my year. I have been saying it all year. Am going to go bet that at Vegas for $10,000......

    Utilizing Gates was a smart move based on his 0.330 average. Using Crosbie made zero sense. UM has a history of making heroes out of ordinary players in the post-season (Ellena, Jimerson), so maybe Di Mare decided that Crosbie "was due". Gates played very well this season, but batted poorly...

    This is beyond the pale....... When a (previously drafted) freshman bats 0.330 in the ACC, he is indisputably a great recruit............ You overplayed your troll hand! Good try, though.

    Tourney Central (It’s time for ball!)

    It is a colossal disadvantage. If we hit on more than 3/4s of our recruits, then it does not matter. The class with Abreu and Collins is a great example of that. If we lose our top recruit due to homesickness, it is a big problem, but it then becomes a huge problem when your best player...

    Stanford is now replicating OPeration Vanderbilt in which all students receive some form of scholarship aid. Stanford will now surmount the 11.7 scholarships through: universal merit, ethnicity and need-based scholarships. Vanderbilt's former AD split duties as President of its Law School...

    Tourney Central (It’s time for ball!)

    As everyone on the Board knows, the scholarships are my biggest concern. It is not fair to force athletes to opt for state schools due to arbitrary scholarships restrictions. The scholarships were at 19 in the early seventies and are now at 11.7. That is ridiculous. Why force an economically...

    That is actually quite good...............

    Tourney Central (It’s time for ball!)

    Well............ I am happy! (I kid, I kid.....) Am fairly certain that we will have 9 players batting over .300 next year. Look at how much Toral improved year-over-year..... We may have too much production and may suffer from attrition after "Fall Ball". There will be at least 3...

    If you asked anyone prior to the season if they "would be satisfied with 7 players batting 0.300, winning ~41 games and losing to the #6 team in the nation in a close Regional", they would have expressed satisfaction. All services universally laud our recruiting class, and this year's...

    Not in baseball with 2 years of eligibility left. I have never seen that occur. Erickson was much more highly touted than Admitis. They drafted Erickson, he asked for unreasonable amounts and returned for his Junior year. Players that are juniors leave at a 99% clip, but not sophomores, and...
