I get what you're saying but firing a baseball coach midseason without cause is extremely rare if not unheard of.

Definitely curious to see how he pitches. Can we have one decent pitching performance this weekend please???

Yes, me too. The older I get the more perspective I have, I think in the heat of the moment you give your all just like that. After it's over you reflect and try to figure out if you gained from it in any way or if there is a way to gain. It's like 2014 football - great season and I don't see...

Great answer. It's one of the things that bugs me about sports today, that if you don't win it all you've failed somehow. I was talking to a Penn State fan about it... they won 10 games and the Rose Bowl but there is an element of their fandom that thinks the season was a failure.

Looks like King is getting the start tonight. Let's start the climb today!!!

Right, and I think that through BC anyone could see what they wanted - good or bad, development or slipping. Your take then was certainly defendable to me, esp because I see what you write on a consistent basis and I value your opinion. The thing about Hall is he has evolved through time. There...

I don't know about most but my gut tells me to flip UNCheat and the Hoos. C-ville tends to be a nightmare for us for whatever reason and it seems like even with the worst coach in our history we have UNCheat's number. I'll take 6-6 overall, with a possibility of hitting 8 if things go well.

I take that back, a few weeks ago I do recall one poster mentioning how much we lost and that we should have expected some growing pains. IIRC that post went on to state that we SHOULD look better by season's end. That's true on both fronts, we had young talent that for the most part hasn't...

Coach Hall? Yes, many believe he deserves to go out on his own terms. I do too for the most part - but if we collapse further and the team stops playing for him then all bets are off on that. Like Nuke, I would want any 'push' to be behind closed doors though. It definitely shouldn't be a messy...

I feel like this is a strawman. I haven't seen one single person defend our performance this season, it's disappointing to say the least.

It could be as simple as the weather in terms of his worse outings. I could be wrong but I believe all the bad ones (and certainly the Miami one) were in freezing temps. He may have a hard time gripping the ball or perhaps the movement is subdued the colder it gets. He pitched better as the...

That was fun. A bunch of lucky guesses got me to 19.

My first thought when I hear bat warmers is 'hats for bats, keep bats warm'

Because you could easily move Pitt or Wake over there with the same $ and keep F$U at our house. It worked with BC there so clearly Pitt or Wake would be fine. To me it's not so much moving the game as it is the game that was chosen.

Paging @kg01 :p

He SHOULD have been the successor to Ross.

FWIW, we always honored four years. Plus any SAs that came back later (went pro, didn't finish for other reasons) got tuition support too. To the best of my knowledge, that continues.
