Anyone hear anything about the Notre Dame coaching search?


They hired Luke Montz who was the Padres AA affiliate manager

Seems like a home run hire
Looking for fresh that I can throw on the grill

Thanks in advance!

It’s been oddly difficult for them to gain traction on the right type of guy to hire.
Still open

Went to the Tennessee Saturday game
First game in quite a few years and I quickly remembered why I quit going. Unless you are sitting in the premium areas, it is tight, crammed, and uncomfortable as hell.
Honestly, an awful place to watch a game save for the amazing fans and top notch baseball. Hence it stays packed.

What i don't like is dads from the stands stealing the signs and then hollering out loud for everyone to hear.

I’ve stopped a game over this. Unacceptable.

If the kids pick something up awesome. For the adults to intervene is unacceptable
Don’t know exactly when to start.
Certainly high school but I’m a bit uncomfortable with stealing signs before that for the coaches to do it.
I purposely do not look at other team’s signs on an 11 year old team because everyone can steal signs at that age. They have to be simple for your own team to remember them.
Now if my players pick it up I don’t know.
If a pitcher’s body language gives it away that’s fair game at all ages in my opinion
Give me the guy who really wants no part of and has no benefits from being in office all day

I want major reform/cleanup, but I know I won’t get it in my lifetime. I’ll settle for a re-energized Catholic community doing goods things here. I think we could use more of that.


I’m with you
The reform however will NOT come from the papacy. The Church must reform herself from within. Priests and ultimately the Pope are simply reflections of the people in the church. The guy in the golden box is still the point. When the men of our church are set ablaze and are unapologetically Catholic, the church transforms.
I’ve witnessed it on a local level twice now. It starts at the Parish, grows to the diocese, and ultimately spreads from there
The one thing that I need to finally help me completely divorce myself from any joy related to college sports is a presidential commission.
Total political points play.
I voted for the man twice but I gotta admit he’s a two bit Huey P Long wanna be.
I mean
You have those just hangin around in your history and you choose to wear ANYTHING else???


Those hit all the marks for amazing uniforms
This one was easy to see coming
Question is will the next guy get enough NIL support to build an roster there that can win to their desired level
I agree with you almost completely.
The one thing I’d say is that the SEC is ridiculously tough this year.
We have enough pitching to get out of a regional. The issue is the super regional draw
Can we all just take a moment to appreciate just how good of a coach Jim Schloss is?
I mean from what I can tell he’s a tool but dang it his teams are always immediately better when he’s on the job

LSU better not take this one lightly.
The Pokes are VERY physical and throw a lot of big funky arms at you. LSU is obviously the better team here but they are not to be trifled with

Name me 8 better SEC ballparks.

The only thing making this close to not being bottom half is the addition of UT and OU. Finally expansion helps LSU out

1. Baum Walker
2. Dudy Noble
3. Swayze
4. Bluebell Park
5. Founders
6. Lindsey Nelson
7. Plainsman Park
8. Floridas new park

If we’re strictly talking looks nicer and we ignore capacity then you can go ahead and add Vandy’s park to that list too.
I’m not confident at all.
I’m pretty sickened by it in fact. I’m not rich at all. Midddle class built a nice nest egg but it’s getting hammered. My only solace is that I have time to recover

owners. Might be a bad owner, but sounds like a nice guy.


May be a nice guy but they don’t make money on parking because their location does t allow for them to have their own parking facilities very easily
quote:

It does seem insanely risky, though. Hopefully, markets settle down soon.


It has much more risky implications than the markets.
It is if you’re talking about culture.
No one on this board will say it because it feels too much to them like they’d be admitting that the conference is close to the SEC in quality of play (it’s not).

When you consider location, competitive balance, what sports are valued, and the relative quality of play it is SEC lite
