Adding to that his territory during his time as a Washington Nationals scout was partially Big 12 territory. (Missouri, Kansas, Arkansas, Iowa, Nebraska and the Dakotas)

Wrong! The intro to Gilligan's Island was way better. But only this version, the one that refers to the professor and Marianne as "the rest."

Which of the three theme songs?

Conference Pitcher Of The Year Landon Gartman announced he is headed to Mississippi State. Can’t say I blame him? Much better baseball program and conference. Tough loss for the new coach. [/i]

Coach is going to have to prove himself quickly. We're losing a lot of seniors and I don't believe this is going to be the only portal loss. The cupboard could be bare if he doesn't do a lot in recruiting.

Recruiting is basically done for next year except for the transfer portal ..... unless he's going to try to convince some JUCO commits to flip ...

How worse can it be? Is it really a bad thing when players off a losing team transfer? Our basketball team lost a ton of players off of a round of 32 ncaa appearance

The guy was on the mound for 30% of our wins this year so yes absolutely it can get worse and the way its looking it is.

Depends on if they were solid players that you could build around or players that would be getting replaced with better ones.

Steve Carlson went 27-10 for a putrid Philadelphia team in '72 as an example.

Hell, so did Steve Carlton. What a one-two punch.

If this was a 10-40 team then you would have a point.

We lost two pitchers we were looking at as starters early.

A few breaks with injuries and this easily could have been a 35 to 37 win team

yea yea, I know we tend to roll our eyes at anything coming from Knoxville. But I feel like comments from the coach of the #1 team in the country hold some weight.
Also did not know the connection with DeBord being involved in both hires.

I am super happy to have a new coach who is excited about his new team.

Memphis baseball has so much opportunity!

Go Tigers Go!

^^^^^
TRUTH!!!
