    Fall Ball Schedule

    That sounds promising although I'm not sure what the opponent was like for that game. Still only giving up one earned run in 13 innings is impressive no matter who you are facing. DH mentioned they were throwing strikes also which is a nice departure from what we have seen in the past. It gives...

    If anyone was able to attend the scrimmages I would love to hear your feedback.

    2024 offseason

    Not sure what criteria On3 uses to grade transfer classes but my suspicion is it must have something to do with sheer numbers because Louisville's entire team except for one player is made up of transfers. And since their entire team is transfers and they are supposedly the #1 ranked transfers...

    Fall Ball Schedule

    OK I'll try. The 11 games he started as a freshman were mostly as a replacement for Jadyn Jackson who got hurt at shortstop. He also got a little time at third base. The next year we brought in Payton Green at shortstop and Mike Bichetti at second base. He wasn't going to start ahead of either...

    2024 offseason

    How often are the media right with their preseason picks. Outside of the blue blood programs and the other top 4 or 5 teams I doubt these media types have any idea of the rosters put together by the other teams other than who they have coming back. For example, how in the world is Louisville...

    Fall Ball Schedule

    I have to disagree with your "hypothetical". No matter how well the GT system develops players there will always be some freshmen that are coming in that are simply more talented or might develop faster than the upperclassmen. That was evidenced last year when we had as many as 4 or 5 freshmen...

    Fall Ball Schedule

    I forgot about Jarros. He had a lot of potential and did pretty well when given a chance to play. Unfortunately he found himself playing behind some guys that were not coming out of the lineup because they were also top performers. Had he stayed I feel pretty confident he would have started this...

    Fall Ball Schedule

    Curious which veterans that were major contributors were lost to the portal? As far as I can tell the only underclassmen we lost to the portal were not getting much if any playing time so they decided to move on to seek playing time elsewhere. The only exception might be Busse who mysteriously...

    UNC 2024 Post Game

    We also have one of the best red zone TD percentages in the country. Why bother passing the ball in the red zone if you don't have to. The goal is to score TD's when you get to the red zone. We do that better than most teams do so why bother throwing the ball in that area if you don't have to...

    King Injury Factual Updates

    I don't disagree. My point was that he would have a greater chance of returning to the game if it was a dislocation because it can be popped back in. A separation is a torn shoulder and you aren't coming back from that.

    King Injury Factual Updates

    Coming out of the tent without the helmet simply means he knew he wasn't going back in the game. It doesn't necessarily mean he had a concussion. I watched the whole game and never once saw him take a hit on the head.

    King Injury Factual Updates

    At the time I thought it looked more like a stinger than something as serious as a separated shoulder. If you separate your shoulder you don't continue playing...a dislocation maybe....but not a separation. That being said I took Key's comment in the presser to mean they will wait for an MRI...

    Offensive Play-Calling

    It makes me laugh at all the speculation that King has a hand injury when there is absolutely no proof of that being true. All the talk of that one overthrow in the end zone being due to a hand injury is ridiculous. Every once in a while even the best QB's in the NFL can overthrow their...

    Duke postgame

    I don't understand. The wide receiver screen is one of our most consistent and successful plays and you want us to stop calling that play so much? Would you also prefer that we stop scoring touchdowns?

    2024 offseason

    I think opposing teams had more tape on him by the second half of the season and realized he was a player they had to worry about on defense. The first half of the season Nait came out of nowhere and probably wasn't a focus of defensive game plans. Maybe he wore down some physically but these...

    Quiet in here. Off season check in thread

    I thought I read an interview with Stricken somewhere where he talked about how happy he was joining an excellent program like Tech and working for a Hall of Fame coach like Hall. Anyway, I agree this will be Hall's final year. I don't think Stricken was brought on to be his successor. I think...

    GT Vollebees

    I heard she had to have surgery and will be out for another few weeks. Hate that not only for her but I believe we are a better team playing in the 6-2. So either we will have to rely on a second setter or stick with the 5-1 like we did against UGA. Offensively we are fine but it hurts our...

    Uniforms vs Louisville

    If we win Saturday will anyone really care what color pants we wore? If your answer to that is still yes then you really have your priorities screwed up and might want to start watching Project Runway again.

    Perfect Games top classes of 2024

    So with such a highly ranked catcher coming in the fall we have a dilemma. Does Rogers start at catcher? If so, what do we do with Lackey? Assuming his hitting improves does he remain at catcher because of his superb defensive skills behind the plate? Do we get both of them on the field by...

    Ummm the AVCA rankings have us at #13. Not sure what rankings you are using but the AVCA is usually what everyone refers to.
