I'm of the thought process that sponsoring NCAA varsity sports shouldn't be solely focused on making money. Other schools, including those who could afford non-revenue-gaining sports, have made cuts using the revenue excuse. Athletic scholarships are publicity and opportunities for students who mayb...

We’re 49-166 in Sun Belt conference play since we joined. It’s been better in 2021-2022 but that is putrid.

Baseball was putrid in the Sun Belt for a while, even in the first 2ish years or Kermit, and we had MLB-level talent on the team.

Softball had a winning record in 2019, 2021 and 2022, and likely would have had one in 2020 if the season happened. Two years ago we were three outs from winning a series versus Louisiana, who hasn't lost a Sun Belt series in years and years. Softball isn't that far off the pace IMO.

Was the cause of death ever disclosed?

Not publicly. At this point, the family should be the ones to tell that story or authorize telling of that story if they want to. And right now, they got services on Thursday and Friday.

App will remain in 5th place as the teams we could have caught this weekend haven't lost yet. But now we're 2 losses ahead of 7th place and the play-in game with 6 to go. App is 13-10-1 and ODU is 12-12, so next weekend in Norfolk is another one big. JMU, who is in 6th and a half game back, is about...

Pretty sure that HBP was intentional.

Before the 3rd, App pitching had retired 21 straight Jag batters going back to the 5th inning this morning.

Baseball is now 5th place, half a game behind Georgia Southern and Southern Miss who are tied for 3rd, but also half a game ahead of Coastal, ODU and JMU in 6th-8th.

Stealing that tie in Jonesboro could be of great benefit at the end.

6-0-1 in the last 7 games.

I would stress patience. In situations like this, information comes out at a trickle.

I know Britt's an aggressively third base coach, but when when left fielder has the single in his glove before the runner from second touches third, you might want to stop windmilling the green light.

I see one common factor in all the transfers: the coaches. Many of you have waxed on about NIL and whatnot, but in the end, relationships are very important and in some cases more important than money It was pointed out very early how together this team was. Could it be that they were together again...

I’m glad we can be candid about these players now that they’ve transferred.

Or that coaches are leaking out info once players announce they're leaving.

Faith Alston jumped in the portal this week, so this team will have to be built from the ground up. Bit surprising after Faith attended Sharp's introduction presser. Maybe it wasn't a good fit?

Helmet comm was already on the road to approval before the Michigan controversy. It was tested in bowl season.

Our bullpen has to figure something out in a hurry. We're right in the battle for a top six position. Our offense is top three but pitching is dead last. We have the 2nd most RBIs in the Sun Belt. If the team ERA was 5.0 instead of 7.0+, we'd be in 2nd place nipping at Louisiana's heels right now.
