I would probably put State over A&M and Auburn over State but overall I can see that panning out.

We shall see which A&M team shows up..

The one who quit against Mizzou?

The one who won series at Tennessee, at Arkansas and vs LSU.

State is hot right now though.. so that will be an interesting game no doubt.

Those along with the Texas series were their biggest 4 of the season bar none.

The team has mailed it in according to my ag super fan buddy he says Earley knows he's out and so I think everyone just wants the season to end at this point but we shall see.

I can see the team being ready for the season to be over, but I don't think any of their big-money people are prepared to dump Earley and cough up his buyout, or the buyout of his replacement. I'm not sure that they could even get a decent replacement for him this year.

Hope Tony pitches Doyle against Alabama but he's probably going to save him for the Texas game and that will probably knock us out.


You are probably right that they throw Doyle against the 'Horns, since they broke rotation and pitched him game 2 (Friday) at Fayetteville. I think you guys can hit him. He gave up 11 hits, 8 runs (6 earned) and 3 home runs in his last outing.

Earley's buyout is $3m and Bakich for example would be less than $2m and so that $5m is a drop in the bucket compared to what they're paying Bilbo. I'm not saying it is happening I'm just saying he is reporting Earley is out and knows it.

20% chance of rain tomorrow.

The way this spring has gone, I expect all 20% to sit on top of Hoover Met

A spring training stadium makes perfect sense. Designed to work with the same kind of crowd that college baseball tournaments tend to attract.

But that is really far west, and like you said it’s insanely warm. If the conference tournament was in February it would work. In May it will be unbearable.

I can see Georgia making a run in this one.

Can't wait. One of my favorite sporting events of the year.

Eh. We’re probably pitching someone who hasn’t started this year vs OU/UK and our offense thrives on places where the longball is feasible (that historically hasn’t been Hoover).

We can compete, I just don’t think we will (especially since Wes as a pitching coach doesn’t really value Hoover and would rather be back in Athens prepping arms)

Miss St hit 8 HR in 1 game against Mizzou and Arkansas hit 4 in a game against Texas in Fayetteville.

4 teams hit over 100 HR, (Georgia,Tennessee, Arkansas, Ole Miss).

Texas only hit 79, including 19 in the 15 SEC games at Disch-Falk

The SEC opponents hit 11 HR in 15 games at DF, which is similar in size to Hoover & Omaha.

Texas offense is pretty good. Your pitching is better, true.
