C'mon, Coach...That's the most bush thing I've read on here. 

Coach,
I'll assume that's rhetorical.  However, I still find the remark about previous recruiting classes...well...classless (and still pretty bush as well) .  Happy Holidays

I was not making a remark about previous recruiting classes.  Go back and reread.  I was responding to a comment that catfan28 made.  He said that it was going to be worse here than the basketball board because our pitching was weak and had no experience.  It was going to be a looooog season.  I said if that happened, again IF, IF, I don't necessarily believe that it will, but If it did, then that would be just as much a reflection on the previous staff as the current staff.  And it would.

Now I get it.  There is a group of people on this board that are not happy with the hire.  I understand.  That is always the case when there is change.  I just don't get their desire that the baseball program crash and burn because of it.  I don't necessarily believe this will be a real great year (but OK), but I do believe that year 2 will be much better and year 3 will be real good.

By the way.  Talk about classless.  It is classless and condescending when responding to me as coach.

Sorry if my salutation sounds condescending or classless - that is entirely not the intent.  Once again - the screenname thing really rubs me the wrong way.  Not just you, but everyone.  That's why these are toxic most of the time.  But it's easier to take shots that way.  But anyway, I'd refer to you as 6-4-3 (or 4-6-3, what about 5-4-3?  Or, maybe 3-6-1?  That's the one that doesn't get the proper recognition...) in the future but regrettably I'm self-imposing a ban on my posts indefinitely beginning immediately.  And, not to mention, I think it's silly to address someone as a type of double play.

I took your advice and reread your comment.  I even quoted it above, and, I think you said "to move on" somewhere.  I'd find it but I'm on a deadline here.  

Just for the record, I'd never want ANYTHING at Ohio University to "crash and burn."  I spent way too much time in that program and on campus to categorically dismiss any loyalty to it.  That goes for my entire family as well - which began in Athens.  To assume that some scrutiny directed towards a hire in some way would diminish my passion for OU baseball is ridiculously pretentious.  I undertstand that change occurs all the time ("Without contrary there is no progression" - William Blake).  It's healthy.  

I mean this...seriously - congrats on the job.  Now do it.  There are hundreds of former players and coaches counting on you.  

With all due respect, stop worrying about what you cannot control.  It's not advisable to troll message boards either.  In addition, to start threads and then become passive agressive when posters don't do cartwheels, say, when new hats are unveiled.  When you worry too much about what fans think you end up sitting with them in their seats. 

Again, sorry if you misconstrued my sarcasm in posts. It won't happen again.  Happy Holidays and Go Bobcats.
