We really need an Omaha run for baseball to get us thru early summer. College football with the portal/NIL makes me want to not pay attention until September.

Doubt his entrance is NIL related.

DL and OL are the most over inflated positions in the portal market. Why? Because everyone needs them and they know this and leverage it in negotiations. Getting one isn’t guaranteed quality as that carcass has been picked and cleaned. Is the quality in FCS not good enough for us to pluck or are we...

3,600 players entered the portal in the 2023-2024 academic calendar year. College Football is toast. Is the portal a study in todays world of instant gratification and discontentment or a fear of missing out? I don’t think that college football is toast. Rather it is moe likely entering a perpetual...

It will likely get worse before it gets better.

Until these kids get solid advice from adults on consequences that linger by transferring by choice, it isn’t going to get better.

You have much more faith in those " adults" than I do.

Sadly, I do not.

G5 programs will be a feeder system for P5 programs. Many of our better players will take the leap for cash. NIL and portal suck especially for programs like APP. Since 2022 we have gained 14 players from P5 teams and lost a total of 4. McLeod, Noel and Roof. I reluctantly count Everrett in that gr...

Fair. But if we have McLead, Nate Johnson doesn’t get the reps that he did.

You can see it late but it looked to be well past the fence.

Our shifts on defense are pretty aggressive. Still walking batters. A lot of them. 12-9. Whew. T7. It’s getting interesting! Can the aggressive shifts be a contributing factor to our walks? You are defending against strength but it also requires that pitchers hit their spots to induce contact into ...

Bottom line is that losing an extremely talented player hurts.

True, but with all do respect, we haven’t lost anyone that wasn’t replaceable.

Maybe there is a reason.

There is always a reason.

Bucky to the Chargers

3rd base coach cost us that inning. Never should have been a decision to send him.

I’ve noticed it. I just assumed that my IPad was slowing down.

No one is claiming dark deception. I’m using my eyes to see that he isn’t close to home in Dallas. There are many reasons to transfer and the getting closer to home reason was trumped by one or more other factors.

Whatever makes you sleep better at night there Sunshine.
