It doesn't give me any confidence at all that he is keeping Thompson. This is the third CWS and including the supers last year that the bats lost the game putting a lot of pressure on the pitching.

Second year in a row we’ve had shite bats that have hidden behind good pitching when it mattered most.

Last year we had a great starter in Wick and two other pretty good ones in Pallette and Lockhart. Our pen was arse, and because our bats often went cold we’d have to stretch Kopps for 6 and 9 out saves.

This year we had shaky starters outside of Noland (talking regular season, not postseason), but our pen was nails and quite deep and they carried this team all year. Yet again, bats regressed and often went quiet at the worst times.

In 2021, the only .300 hitter we had on the team was Welch, and he was a 1 year transfer bench player. In 2022, the only .300 hitters we had on the team where Turner and Lanzilli, again both transfers.

Hobbs earned his keep this season, especially in being able to piece together a staff after Pallette went down before the season. Something has to be done about Thompson, though.

Our practice facility costs more then OU and TNs stadium expansion plans.

naw dude, that's the bullshite that began the long road of bringing this athletics dept down. Broyles was being run by a corrupt real estate CEO, so basically a corrupt real estate CEO was dictating to Hog coaches who their assistant coaches should be.

then those massive egos multiplied by 10 and we had the mess that sent us spiralling, including the hiring of Long

Not one fricking 3-inch swinging dick in the bunch was ethical, including Lindsey, of course, or Malzahn or any of his scorched earth crybaby handlers, or Nutt losing count of all the dicks in this throat, or the virtue signalers running basketball hiring decisions. ET fricking Al

Dictate to DVH who his assistants are?

Do you really want to make Hunter hit the transfer portal? Because he was already pissed to fricking high heaven on the overreach of his football hire, and only Hunter saved the day on that by hiring Pittboss.





We have a hellacious good mix of AD and coach in every sport right now. Stop fricking talking that old style bullshite Arkansas whiney baby dictation from the GOBN BOT egos and the chicken egos and whoever else throws their massive fatass weight around because of the money in their pockets and the fried chicken grease dripping out of their arse.

I swear I won't go back to that again.


there's an entire group ready to declare war on Hunter and Pittboss at any opportune moment, and they're the same fricktard mother frickers we've seen do that shite before. Scorch the earth if they can't get their way.

FSU and Mike Martin is known as a good program, but they could never win one. That's where we are at. Hell, that's where I'm at with my view of our program. I think DVH is good enough to get us their consistently (as has been proven), but something else is lacking with him that prevents us from ever accomplishing the ultimate goal.

I realize that it's incredibly difficult to win one in baseball, but we've had multiple opportunities to AT LEAST get one, but we can't do it.

I'm just incredibly frustrated, and maybe even spoiled a bit.

Dig up Augie Garrido.

The comparisons to Mike Martin, like it's some knock are hilarious.

First of all, if not for a blatant frick up by the PLAYERS in foul territory, DVH would already have a NC.

Secondly, Martin coached in a much easier conference, so regionals and supers almost always went through Tallahassee.

Once he got to Omaha, his teams rarely won more than 1 game.

DVH has us where we need to be. He might not be the best gameday decision maker, but the overall program status can only be matched by a couple of schools.

That foul still created two strikes and put their batter behind. Seems like it would have been a great moment for a trip to the mound to settle everyone down. Didn’t happen and our coach sat on his hands and we pissed it away. And to someone earlier’s point, we keep getting there and that’s a great milestone, but outside of Florida State, I’m not aware of any HC who has made it to Omaha 9 times and NEVER won (I’m sure that there’s one or two, but it still says a lot).

I do agree on the loyalty to upperclassmen comment. I constantly got tired of seeing Ramage and Vermillion come in over the years without giving much of the young guys a chance especially in midweek games. He pulls the youngsters way too fast and would Ramage and other fight their way out of the situation.

Also, his loyalty to Gregory. I get Gregory had a decent OBP, but that dude was basically a guaranteed K in any crucial AB the last month and a half. Such a waste of a spot in the lineup in what should be one of your top offensive production positions.

I know during this Fall Ball and Spring practice, I won't believe any of the hype that may come out about offense. After the complete letdown and our shitty offensive approach all season, I'm just going to wait until the season actually starts.
