The two recent acquisitions at OL have caused me to consider my Spring predictions more thoroughly. Frankly, the addition of Lucus is huge. At the same time, Cryer will definitely be part of OL's future. Hall has done a good job.

GO EAGLES!!!

ULaLa has scored 5 runs with two outs in top of 7th.

No heart attacks today at The Pete, lol. Game time tomorrow is around 11:00 AM.

Odom is the only change in the lineup.

There is a small typo in the article. For those not in the know it is a British slang term.

Looks like ULaLa is about to get 10 run ruled unless they score some runs in 7th

Hitting looked good with 7 runs on either 14 or 15 hits.

All of us have had disappointments, some small, like not getting a good prize at the bottom of the crackerjack box, while others more serious and personal. Last football season ranks high on the list for me. I predicted we would have an 8-3 season if the OL improved, but that was a wee bit off. Why was I, as well as others, so far off? Looking back, I put too much weight on Hall’s comments regarding the OL. He said they were “coming along,” and I inferred they were improving. That was a little short of the full story, and I fell for it. Fool me once, and I will pull your nose. Fool me twice, and I will hit you with one of Georgia State's baseball bats. Also, I did not expect numerous injuries on defense, and finally, I was caught off guard by the two QBs that came in.

I have studied for the test a little longer and harder this year. It appears this squad has and is facing a great deal of competition. In general, the talent level is up. There is much more depth than in past years; coaches will not have to put up with attitudes. The players seem focused on playing as a team and winning. Hall did a good job of recruiting and is still searching the portal. He needs an RB, two O-linemen, an Edge, and a WR. If he can obtain those players that have his particular needs the roster will be a good one. We had two QBs that have left (Wiles and Gonzales), but we have three that could step up and do the job.

Special teams will be in great shape with returning solid players. They did a good job this Spring and will be a strong point.

Now for the QBs. As we all remember, several years ago, we went through quarterbacks like crap through a goose. Injuries one after the other until we were down to an assistant coach. All of them faced live-action this Spring, and all came through fine. Likewise, Rodemaker, Crawford, and White had good Spring training. Picking a starter is a difficult one, but Chip Long has a chance to make every defense nervous. His use of motion, shifts, tempo will be a site to see The QBs are hitting receivers releasing into their routes at full speed, this will be a nightmare for defenses. One option is to use Rod.s short passing ability to move down the field and let Crawford dance into the endzone. Of course, it is overlooking White who may end up one of USM’s finer. We may want to save him. The mystery remains until Fall but I look for Rodemaker to start.

IT'S TIME TO WIN!

I will be back in a week or so with game-by-game predictions.

other than Hall? Was there another player who sat last year other than Yat?

I dont know if Creel is a good hitting coach or not, and neither do any of you
Hitting is about adjustments, Teams/pitchers learn pretty quickly what you can and can not hit
Its the player responsability to readjust to what they are doing to them
Just because one hits 300 one year does not guarantee continuosly success
And there are plenty of examples in the big leagues For instance last year NL rookie of the year is hitting under 200 and there are many more examples
Now, Im not saying that Creel is a good coach or not, but to blame him because Wilkes swings at pitches up in his eyeballs is just unjustified and wrong

Just saw an email from the Athletic Department that Sunday's game has been moved up to 11am due to Coastal Carolina's travel plans.

Did they just now realize what time the game was scheduled to be played????

Here it is
