Gotta tell you what happened tonight.

There, of course, are co champions. This has happened in the past. Only one trophy, of course, was on hand as they couldn't possibly get another one in just a couple of days.

What they COULD do, was put the school's name on the trophy they had.

And, they did.

South Alabama was recognized as the co champion and the trophy was presented to them. Pictures were taken and they started to walk off the field.

But then were told they had to give the trophy back.

It was presented to us. With our name on the trophy.

As it should have been, being that we beat them (in Mobile). Awesome.

Btw, how many freshman of the year's have we had the past 6 years or so? Feels like a lot.

For the past 3 years I have been telling people that Dylan Butler was also Freshman of the Year, he wasn't. I guess I was remembering Jay's article.

My All-Sun Belt Conference Baseball Team – From the Bird's Nest
"FRESHMAN OF THE YEAR–DYLAN BUTLER–LOUISIANA
When you consider he led all Sun Belt Freshmen in RBI playing on a team that didn't score many runs, that's pretty impressive. He didn't hit for a great average, but slugged eight home runs playing most of his games in a pitcher's park. And, the most impressive thing about his numbers is, his league numbers and overall numbers were about the same, which means he was pretty consistent. There were several freshmen who could have gotten my vote here, but I'm going with Butler."

That's alright, I would have done the same thing perhaps with a little less alcohol!

That's just recent recipients. We've had more Pitcher's of the Year previously. Surprisingly, no earlier Players or Freshmen than those listed.

Full List Pitcher of the Year
2000 Dohmann
2005 Faught
2006 Moody (co-Pitcher of the Year)
2014 Baranik

Robe has won Coach of the Year 4x

It still irks me that Ridings with WKU beat out Osborne in 2010 for Pitcher of the Year, but that's just me being selfish. Ridings was great that year too

Yes because that is all I do, sit around and drink.
