CSNbbs - Today’s Baseball Luncheon

This was the last of our three Baseball Luncheons this season. Coach Curry brought two players with him today. Justin Steelmon, our First Baseman and Stephen Chandler, one of our right handed pitchers. Both are seniors and great representatives of UALR Baseball. If you went to any UALR Volleyball games last year, Justine was the loud Baseball Player wearing the Trojan Helmet to most games. He also went to San Marcos to cheer the Volleyball team on to win the Sunbelt Tournament Title. Going to miss Justin’s spirit next season.

As you know, if the Sunbelt Tournament began today the Trojans would be in the eight team tournament. We have 6 conference games left this season. We need your support. We have a very important series this week end against ULM. If you can make it out to the Fri, Sat, Sun series to support the team it would be most helpful. The last three conference games will be at Arkansas State.

Coach Curry continues to be a very entertaining speaker and those that missed the three luncheons this year missed a treat. Hope you will consider attending one of his luncheons next season

Coach also talked about a few of our recruits for next year and it sounded great (help is on the way). Also New Basketball head coach Chris Beard was at the luncheon as were new assistant coach Brian Burg and Coach Ted Crass.

After the meeting I found out that UALR has requested their Scoreboard Tech to come out to the Ballpark and see if they can fix the score board lights so that you can read the scoreboard when the sun is in a bad position.

Also found out that UALR is going thru a fund raising campaign to try to build a baseball stadium on campus property although Gary Hogan Field is a very nice park but it is off campus.

That's great news. Gary Hogan Field is okay, but it's in a bad neighborhood. It's adequate, that's about all you can say about it.

Just got through checking every baseball facility in the Sun Belt on the internet, and as I guessed, ours is the worse in the league. I'd say by looking at the photos, ASU's may be second worst in the league. Some are very nice. Our field looks like a high school facility compared to most of the others.

Was anything said about our supposed hiring of Wes Flanagan? Isolator says he was told by Josh and Mo that Wes was hired, but no announcement. Maybe it will be in the Demozette tomorrow or Wednesday if it's accurate, which I have no reason to believe it isn't. Was anything said about basketball recruiting?

I doubt much of anything would be said about basketball at a baseball lunch where the team is entering a couple of crucial series.

Nothing said about basketball except me acknowledging the basketball coaches at the luncheon. Coach did talk to a lot of fans during the luncheon. You should have been there and asked questions.
