July 3, 20241 yr It will be interesting to see it play out. Considering they are running it back largely with the same lineup the coaching job will be noticeable year over year. I heard today that the NIL pool for A&M baseball increased to over $2 million. That is in LSU territory. About half of that probably went to Laviolette, Grahovac and Sorrell, but still.
July 3, 20241 yr Lots of Caden/Kaeden/Kaiden on this Aggy roster. 90's gave us great music but also this dumb name.

Sunburnt as shit and wore my Texas baseball jersey because it’s sexy and fits loose, 4 times while walking around had some form of aggy ask me if I felt shame for stealing a coach and being what’s wrong with college sports. I laughed and said if I’m what’s wrong then we have bigger problems. Dorks all of them, but the stadium is nice haven’t been back since I was stationed at NAS 16 years ago I've never watched Finebaum on purpose and I've never thought about quoting him, but he said something amusing the other day and he's the ags favorite on espn: Actually, bro, it's so SEC. “It screams SEC,” Finebaum says amid Sunday’s festivities...“We are going to body bag our biggest rival immediately after their glory moment by hiring their baseball coach. It’s so SEC.”

July 3, 20241 yr Going to be amazing when they don’t go as farBecause they got their players (at least the majority) back, plus “their guy” they are already penciling themselves back at Omaha with their new “buddies” from the other UT. Baseball is a very fickle game. Or as Augie, loved to say, “a cruel mistress”. They have the players, but the pressure is heavily weighed on them to do next year what they did this year. Lots of responsibility for a guy two years out from being an unpaid assistant. We wanted their coach, which we got plus 2/3 of his staff and Tulo back. We even now have a PITCHING coach. Wasn’t expecting any of their players once Early went back. We need a little help from the draft (players dropping) and a bit from the portal and things will be good for 2025.

They won't have enough NIL to make up for that. UT is going through that a bit with the new DL coach not having many skins on the wall to point to. Multiply that by the entire staff, and that's what will end up biting them in the ass. However, once these guys are gone, so is Earley, I would bet.

July 4, 20241 yr This is classic aggy. They made it to the final game last year. Bringing back a lot of the same players, but a very different coaching staff. Based solely on the players being older, they will get better than last year. All other teams will either regress or stay the same. Only aggy improves.

If not, he'll wish he stayed put soon. I’m still trying to figure out why aggy hired him. Even in his bio aggy has on their website. Other than fundraising for Nebraska’s stadium renovation and getting rid Nebraska-Omaha’s football program to comply to Title IX , nothing shows he was a knock out hire. I guess his hire of Matt Rhule will show fruit this season if it follows how Rhule did at Baylor.
