Re: College Baseball - Do any of you follow it much?

I've watched college baseball for a lot of years now. The changes to the bat have completely changed the game. The homeruns are way down. I think there were three homeruns in the whole College World Series. In fact, they're going to change the ball next year to try to increase homeruns. I saw at lea...

Re: Game 17: Brewers vs Pirates (Loshe 2-1 vs Morton 0-1)

If Ike Davis can get it turned around, it won't really matter who the PTBNL is because the Pirates will have gotten a steal. His potential is to be a .275 hitter with 30 homers a year. He's just been completely lost at the plate for a few years now. The potential is there and maybe a change of scene...

Re: Mac Brown

The rumor was that Briles wanted to be hired without interviewing for the job and that got his name crossed off the list. Who knows if that's true or not. Charlie Strong is the hire and it's an interesting one. I'm not against the hire, but I'm not jumping up and down with excitement about it either...

Re: Mac Brown

Art Briles does not get enough respect and I'd love the hire. I just don't think the big money donors at Texas would love it. They'd be reaching down to a "little brother" school to hire a coach. I think he'd be a game changer, though. Also, he coaches the type of offense that is appealing...

Re: Mac Brown

As I said previously, Graham is not an option due to his ties to Patterson from his previous job. Also, he doesn't fit into what Texas is looking for at all as far as a media friendly guy. Graham will kiss you and then stab you in the back when you turn around. Just ask Pitt fans. Cutcliffe is a nam...

Re: Mac Brown

Mora at UCLA and Franklin at Vandy are two of the lesser names I'm hearing right now that could be very interested if Texas strikes out with the big guns. As far as the bigger names go, there's no been no leaks of any interest from any of them to this point, yet. My guess would be that it will be so...

Re: Mac Brown

Chip Kelly would do really well at Texas, but he comes with a "show cause" still attached to him. I can't imagine Texas risking that. As much as I'd like to see his offense in Austin, that will probably force them to stay away even if Kelly would be interested in coming back to college alr...

Re: Mac Brown

That was pretty good, S Cube. I've read that Patterson has an agreement that he will not go after any Arizona State coaches since that's where he came from. Graham will have to look for another job by next season. haha

Re: Mac Brown

Mack did the right thing tonight by retiring. It'll be very interesting to see all of the names that come up for the job. They can offer more money than any other college program and the recruiting comes pretty easy at Texas. It's going to be a really interesting next month or so. As far as Todd Gra...
