Couple things. One of the other finalist was Brett Bretti, head coach at Columbia. Also, Billy has landed on his feet with an assistant's job at Tulane. Bretti? I haven't heard his name at all through this process. Glad someone hired Billy, so we don't have to pay him. Tulane will be in trouble if ...

Yessir. It was a big Pollard philosophy. I heard him say at several functions , "We gotta be the best cold weather team in the nation".

If I'm not mistaken, dillman was at Florida with muschamp. So that prob had a big part in it.

You're not going to stir up an MMB ruckus with me, Mr. BlackandGold. I'm as BlackandGold as you are and probably have been for a lot longer. You apparently didn't look very closely at the title of the thread. In fact, no one said the meeting was for a new baseball coach. I entitled the thread "Hiri...

Correct. When muschamp was hired at sc, he hired dillman.

Who said the meeting was for the head baseball coach? I don't see anywhere that gives that info out.

Hmmmm

What Pollard did at App, it took him half the time to do at Duke. Imagine what he could do at Texas I think you'll see pollard moving on up again within the next 3 years. How about Texas next year? Idk if he's done enough for Texas to hire him, but my gosh, he'd dominate there. Texas is going to hi...

I haven't seen this in print, anywhere. Just in case the word isn't around yet, Assoc. AD Lindsay Reeder left the athletic department effective May 31. Off to a new career in the health and wellness profession in Watauga, I believe. There's a new sheriff in the Chancellor's Office Admin Bldg; and a...

it would be an increase in the P5 scholarship offers thus they would take players currently on SBC team rosters leaving us with less talent to play with. I don't think so. They'd keep the same guys they have now, and just give them more money. Obviously to keep it fair the ncaa would have to establ...

To anyone who says we can't get quality players to come to App, we came close to making a super regional just several years ago. Plenty of quality on that team and several others in that time frame. Those were years when you went to Columbia, Chapel Hill, Raleigh, Clemson, etc. and expected to win....

I hope baseball one day goes to 25 schollys From a scholar athlete perspective I agree, but that will only further widen the gap between the ACC, SEC, PAC 12, and everyone else from a competitive perspective. How so? Maybe you're looking at it from an angle I haven't thought about. If everyone went...

I don't think we have to go after a "big name". Other than a very small number of people, does anyone really know "big names"? I think the beauty of baseball is that really good players go to smaller schools and can go from those schools to the majors. Those schools can have really smart baseball g...
