The only conclusion I cab draw from this is we are capable of playing with anybody on any given day. This team has a high level of resiliency which allows itself to put the past behind them and concentrate on the game ahead. I do think we have a nice mix of veterans and youth that brings a high...

I don't see any way Alabama or Auburn will allow their coaches to jump conference rival Kentucky. They both have deep pockets and will find the money to keep them. I also don't see Hurley making the jump. He's a northeast guy with established recruiting lines up there. I don't see him wanting to...

Nice news today that we signed the top Juco libero in the country. Her name is Sofia Velez and she is from Colombia. She led all of the Juco ranks last year in digs. A big get after losing Pimentel to graduation.

If Jarros and/or Giesler can continue to improve that gives us three viable options at 3b along with Kerce. Of course we still have other options at 2b like Denby, Neises and Senese that haven't gotten a shot yet. Along with Bechetti and Kerce at 2b all we need to find is one guy that can get...

I believe so. Our ladies won all thee matches. In the photos it looks like Liv Mogridge didn't dress out. Does anyone know if she had offseason surgery for the injury she suffered last year and that's why she didn't dress out?

Did I miss an announcement by Coleman? I had not seen him say he was leaving anywhere, or is it speculation on your part? Just curious.

Why is this news when he has said the same thing all season long?

I think he means Amaree was given the first chance to seize the point guard position. Unfortunately for him he wasn't successful. Fortunately for us it opened the door for Nait to show what he can do.

There are several examples of coaches, particularly newly hired coaches, building an entire team from the portal and being very successful. I think Steve Forbes did that at Wake. Of course there are probably just as many examples of that approach failing miserably. I believe the coaches that...

Did anyone see the video of CDH dancing with the hardhat and broom after the sweep of NC State? Decent moves by the old man. He certainly looked reinvigorated.

Have we seen the last of Giesler? The way Kerce is playing at 3rd base there is no way they are going to sit him unless he goes into a prolonged slump. Bobby Z seems to have a lock on the DH role. I guess if Cam J goes to the mound he could be a late game replacement at first base.

What I like is the young arms that we have. Guys like McKee, Ballard, Kovala, Gaudette & Stanford just for starters. In the past when guys like King and Busse went down we were toast. With these young guys we have so much more depth. Then add in veterans like Jones, Patel and Thomas who are new...

My 3 are: 1. Never buy cheap toilet paper. 2. Never buy a cheap mattress - a third of your life is spent in bed. 3. Never back the person that tells you what they are going to do (some people will just tell you what you want to hear to get your support)...back the person that tells you how...

Wake took another one on the chin yesterday losing to UVA 16-10 and are now just 1-3 in conference play. UNC also dropped from the undefeated in conference by losing to Miami 14-1. Seeing these scores makes it seem like maybe our pitching isn't so bad this year.

I believe he has done some women's basketball games before. Does that count?
