    Dobson comments on commitment to Gamecocks (wet blanket alert)

    Correct. I have never been a big follower of recruiting for a few reasons, and this is one of them. I don’t even fault the kids, they operate in the system that’s been built for them. Add to it now that most will transfer out anyway.

    It's Schnall

    Certainly looks to be a good hire. Makes more sense than the last two for sure. But as Preston mentioned above why would he want to take this on? I’m interested by this. Money is always the obvious answer, but I wonder if that is the deal most of us think it is? He’ll definitely be paid more...

    5 of 8 CWS teams are from the SEC...

    Doesn’t necessarily have to be. Didn’t check this year, but it’s not unheard of for SEC teams with slightly sub .500 to make the NCAAT. I know just making it, isn’t what we all want since that used to be a given but that feels like a long time ago, but I don’t think we’ll see another era like...

    Since about 2008 it’s been the dominant football conference until very recently. And it’s always been in the discussion of the best football leagues. But I think it’s been a better baseball conference for some of the very things you mentioned. Football, understandably, always gets more...

    Mike Elko: It's ok for it to be hard to get into the playoffs

    For fans, its entertainment. If you're making the decisions it's money. Since I'm not making any decisions I'm squarely in the former so bring back the BCS because it made people more upset than any other format of post-season play. And that was entertaining.

    All Time super regional appearances still tied for third despite our problems the last 13 or so years

    Saw this yesterday. Stuff like this is why is so frustrating to be a Gamecock fan. We know or have indicators of how good these programs can be and sometimes it’s like they just won’t. For roughly the first half of the Super Regional era SC was arguably “the program” in college baseball. They...

    In regards to your post that got this particular discussion going- Agree 100% on Holbrook and will add that he was key in building the roster for those CWS teams. But beyond that plenty of fans questioned the other hires at the time, some much more than others but it hasn’t been armchair...

    What the hell?

    Nope. Never will understand why people pay for sites like this. Guess I don’t have to though. If the free board goes away I guess it’s just one less thing I will do
