Also forgot to add about Grae. Talked to him at end of dugout about 5th inning and he wanted to go back in the same inning he came out but medical said no. Honestly I saw no reason to risk it myself, but just showed how competitive they were. He said he hasn’t been 100% all year and was fine. As you can tell by his run and jump on the dogpile.

It really speaks volumes to how laid back these guys are. Knowing they will make it to the show, but talking to me openly after meeting me just a few times. They are 100% team oriented and lay it out for each other every day. Usually you’ll have one or two on a team that has a big head, but I have yet to meet one. Even coach takes time afterwards to talk.

In my many years of following them, this has to be by far and above my favorite team. Dillard is 100% dedicated to Christ and not ashamed to talk about it. Carracci is also very humble. Anyways just thought I would mention that. And like others have said, we made it through the SEC, we should make it through regionals. My only thing that hesitates me is we know our league and our guys. Now we take on teams we haven’t faced and have to get used to them in a couple of days. We have a big target on us. But I believe the Swayze crazies will handle that. Good luck to us all. And I also don’t have any fingernails ha

ETA: Nvm

Yea it gets hard for me at times because me having my daughter full time. I try to take her as much as I can but when my parents are feeling ok I let them watch her while I sneak away. I don’t have a lot of time to myself but I wouldn’t trade it for the world.

Got a reply. You can start buying books this evening of any reserved seats that have not been claimed. Just a heads up, stay away from sections C & D which are for visitors. Single GA tickets will go on sale tomorrow sometimes. I believe 5:00pm. Book prices for throughout regional is as follows:
General Admission: $60
Grandstand: $70
Box: $80
Diamond Club: $200
Dugout Club: $215
Parking: $30
Season holders have had since last week to start buying and claiming theres but did say that some will be available they believe. Good luck and hope to get there myself and maybe we all could meet up. Trying now to see if I can be there all weekend. Depends on if I take my daughter or not. Going to be a wild weekend at Swayze. Teams don’t have a clue what they are fixing to walk in to. I would take Swayze any day over others for crowd support. And also for ragging the opposing team in outfield lol.

I like Bianco but if we don't make it to Omaha with this team and all the talent we have, we need to reevaluate whether we want him going forward. Especially if we can't get past fricking Tennessee Tech and Saint Louis. If we can't beat those schools then he is a pathetic coach

Usually I disagree with how you feel about most of the sports hires. But I do believe this has to be the year. We don’t have a ton of injuries holding us back and can hit from 1-9. Plus have the pitching. I agree it needs to be this year.

And also I’m the same with you on the Luke hire. I’m ashamed of what we did, but I believe it’s only a bandaid. I’ll support the team but not the hire. I believe he’s a good guy, but not what we need permanently. We need a deep cleaning of the staff.

Also we need our old guys back around here for this baseball run. Need to find Dmagic, McRebel, you, Swayze, and I can’t remember right off the others. I’m sure they’ll pop in my head later. I remember us having a blast on here around the 2013 recruiting cycle. Wish I could have remembered my email and account of when I was using it back then. I also remember us going and creating our own chat room when we were trying to find a different coach, before Freeze, so rumors wouldn’t be flying here. Good times back then.

Lol. Its baseball. All it takes is SLU's ace having an insane night. Bianco is putting us in the right sports. Just have to be on our game and have a little luck to get to Omaha

Also I went back and watched a few highlights, and our major complaint all year was base running. From the ones I could see, a lot of the times it was base coaches waving the guys. And at points it would show Biancos face and he wasn’t happy at all with the choice. Other times the runner would have his head down and not even look at the coach holding a stop sign or waving. Could base coaches be changed? Sure, but you really don’t want to during the year. And I’m sure the guys who never checked with coaches got their ear full afterwards. I’m not taking all the blame away from coach because he did have some questionable base calling.

That's some fricked up thinking. This is baseball we're talking about. Every year the winner of the MLB World Series loses something like 60+ games, sometimes in streaks. And it's not like we play a best of 7 series against a single team. It takes a little luck in addition to just being good in order to navigate through a 4-team regional and a super regional.

HJJ come on man. This is 100% Biancos most talented team in the last couple years but that doesn’t mean if we don’t reach Omaha we don’t fire him.

Y’all keep thinking we’re gonna walk through this regional. Don’t be surprised if it’s a 3-1 ball game come Friday night.

Fire Bianco? Come on now, it doesn’t matter how good you are you always need a little bit of luck to make it to Omaha.

Yes we do have a very talented squad and one that can do something special, but we have it because of Bianco. After a season with the most wins in school history, a division title, a conference tournament championship, and a top 5 National ranking I think we should be thankful we have him as our guy.
Some of y’all are forgetting that college baseball takes a lot of luck around this time. It’s mostly about who gets hot down the stretch.


Besides, who would you replace him with? He’s easily one of the best coaches in the country imo. And he’s what, 3rd-4th best at worst in the conference? Not too damn shabby imo. Especially considering the ones above him ain't leavin their current jobs.

Yeah. That was damn near 20 years ago and we have 1 visit to Omaha and two SEC tournament titles to show for it. I know we were shite when he got here but in almost 20 years of being somewhere you should be able to do more and not choke when it comes time to play for what really matters

Do you know how you get good coaches to not come to your school? Fire a coach with the success that Bianco is having right now. Who would want to come here and follow that up? Firing Bianco is not even in the discussion. Even if we went 0-2 in this regional. His seat is ice cold
