I think we are drawing bad conclusions from one bad crop of portal players. We need the portal; we just need to do a better job of scouting and recruiting them.

100% this. The only thing I think he should change up a bit is not going to the small schools for hitters. Pitchers are fine because if a guy has good stuff that will typically play no matter where hes pitching.

But hitters from small schools is always a crap shoot. Are they good because they may only face 1 quality starter a week? Or will they be productive against SEC pitching as well. I just feel like taking hitters from the power 4 conferences is a much safer route.

Should've moved it up earlier cause its likely still going to get delayed starting at 3

Yeah the big bats he brought in Yorke, Dardar, and Simpson haven't worked out but the lineup still has talent without those guys and can be serviceable.

But him thinking Evans and Schmidt were going to replace Anderson and Eyanson was the biggest mistake. Yeah yeah I get it was going to be unlikely to replicate their success but I never thought Evans was going to pan out as a Friday night starter. He may have the stuff for it but not the stamina. You need your Friday night guy to give you 6-7 innings and 4 or less runs consistently because thats what other teams Friday night guys will do. I did think Schmidt would take a step forward and be a serviceable Sunday starter which is what he is at this point but nothing more. Obviously Moore getting hurt has been an issue but his SEC sample size is small so we really dont know exactly what he can be in SEC play.

Last season LSU was 30-8 in games Anderson and Eyanson pitched. This season barring a comeback today LSU will be 10-10 in the first 2 games of each series.

5 of the runs were gifted off walks/ errors.

Well I would rather them take the walks than swing at trash and get themselves out. If the other team is willing to walk you take it. We sure as shite have given teams plenty free passes all year so it was good to see the tables turn tonight.

Yep. Probably won't win another game.

They were never going to call that on a Hail Mary but any chance they would have went out the door once the pass was thrown basically out the back of the endzone.

I mean if theres one team in college football I would compare Miami to its Georgia so I wouldnt say its a bad matchup.

I would say its actually a bad matchup for Miami cause if the Ole Miss offense goes off can they keep up?

Was he banking on a flag ?

No it was the perfect call with the defense they were playing to hurry up and get 5 yards and a spike.

I was surprised to see them beat DePaul by 30 yesterday. DePaul isnt some great team but they arent terrible either.

But with that being said I've been fooled by the soft pre conference schedule before thinking we were better than we really were so im not believing they are any good until they win some conference games.

I think he really loves Ole Miss.

I dont know that its this as much as he loves his team and wants to finish the season with them. The good think is originally it seemed like he would be bashed in the media like crazy for leaving his team. But now it seems more like they are putting in on Ole Miss for not letting him. They understand LSU is a much better job and its hard to bash someone for wanting to take a better job.

This motherfricker just needs to go the frick away man. Dude is a complete jackass.
