Obviously anyone believing this team folds has not followed this season. Want to think what we saw in Hoover was a very weary team. Even at that we had a chance until the final bat swing. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Butch is motivating them to play beyond what should be reality; however, slim depth will probably be one of our biggest challenges in regards to the gauntlet of games teams have to play before hoisting a trophy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LPTiger 5,153 Posted May 26, 2023 Share Posted May 26, 2023 I can promise you the players were gassed. Bryson was quoted today as saying they were not there mentally or physically. against Bama Over the season you build a routine. No routine involves back to back games that end after midnight. By the time you get back to the hotel at the Galleria, shower, get treatment, hydrate/snack, you ar looking at 1:30-2:00AM before you start to sleep. If your routine involves waking up at 7am, you are going to wake up around that same time regardless of when you go to bed. One day of that is tough, two in a row is next to impossible. I think the SEC should consider bumping the start time for the tourney to 8AM instead of 9:30 and reduce the time between games from 30 minutes to 20 minutes. Those 2 changes have the potential to alter the end of the last game by 2 hours. Ending at 10 or 10:30 is much better than 12 or 12:30. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Love the 8:00 start idea. 9:30 start is not even fair for the fans. Old people like Golf just can’t hang in much past 10:00. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Team finishes 3rd in the SEC, Penta wins SEC Pitcher of the Year, they were gypped out of hosting a regional, eventually lost to Clemson 1 game to 2 in the Clemson regional (Valerie Cagle of Clemson is a finalist for national player of the year and should win, IMO)...and yet people show up in the thread to say the team is mediocre/the coach has accomplished nothing, berate the officials, etc. Sad indeed. Surprising to me how few people here seem interested in any sport other than football and, to a slightly lesser degree, men's basketball. I guess that's why we struggle with NIL for the other sports. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed. I follow baseball, softball, and basketball much closer now. Anyone can beat anyone on a given day. The opposite in football. Watching 5 or 6 teams completely dominate football is boring and bad for the sport . I enjoy the other sports because it’s a reset week after week. And yes, I wish more NIL dollars went to the other sports. We can contend for titles consistently there if that happens. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Golden E I think it is a legitimate question regarding Coach Dean as to can he take AU to the next level -- super regionals and WCWS. In his 16 year HC career he has been almost automatic in getting a post-season bid, but he has been even more automatic with not maximizing that opportunity. In 16 years he has 0 WCWS appearances and has only been to one super regional. Compare that with a guy like Clint Myers who went to the WCWS 9 out of 12 years. Granted Myers is an outlier. Coach Dean is a solid coach, but at some point you are who your record says you are. You are spot on with your comment about lack of interest. A football recruit thread on a 2024 kid who narrows his list to 10 schools gets more interest that us winning back to back series against the #1 and #2 teams in the country. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
