Status Quo or Changes

[ManAboutTown]

Ashamed of what ? The truth ? Talbot WILL still be involved with the offense. Mark that down. And none of this is an attack on your boy Robe. You need to face the hard cold statistical facts that this baseball program is going backwards. Yes this program did really well from 2013 thru 2016 but you can’t and won’t make me believe that we have grown as a program off of the recent success. We haven’t recruited squat since Talbot has been here. If you can’t see that then you’re blind. I’ve been a season ticket holder now for several years and probably have forgotten more baseball than you know and just because you come on here like Mr. King of the Message Boards and disagree with people doesn’t mean we can’t state an opinion. You ask WTF is wrong ? Look at the last 2 seasons. Once you start accepting mediocrity, you’re done. Right now, this program isn’t near ready to play with the big boys. Not even close. Tell that to your sources.

So you’ve been following the program only since 2013? There’s a big part of your problem.

I have posted here that we are in decline the last 2 seasons. There’s no denying that. But the idea that Robe has won with smoke and
mirrors or lucked into a couple wins is moronic. “My boy” has built a legit, nationally respected program. “My boy” is fixing the problem that all of you have been crying about since the last pitch of 2018. “My boy” makes mistakes and will tell you himself.

Again, he’s the only proven winner employed by this university.

Season ticket holder since way before that clown show of 2012. Remember when Matt Deggs came in and saved everybody’s ___ ? Yeah, way before that. I’ll leave it at that. And where in my previous post did I say anything about Robe winning with smoke and mirrors ? Again, this is not an attack on Robe but things need to change and change in a hurry. I respect Robe as a person as well as a coach but as someone posted earlier, the ship has grown much larger now and the heat is on in the kitchen. When you have past and current players that are concerned, even you can’t come up with an excuse for that. That’s called “reality”.

It’s not actively trashing MAT. No one is saying Robe hasn’t done good. That tweet was disingenuous at best considering the last two seasons. This is a message board open for opinions. We aren’t in that circle, period. Tennessee Tech is a handful of wins from being in that list.

This is one of the dumbest posts I’ve ever read on this board. That tweet is a fact that the coaches are using to sell the program to recruits! Would you rather them tweet out “hey we’ve been an above average baseball team the last 2 years, come get u some!!!”
It seems from the outside You are so entrenched in your position you would rather be right than see the program do well. That may not be your intent but that is what I read in your posts.

Agreed! The same is true for a couple of others.

Not sure I'm getting why past players being concerned is some sort of tell-tale sign of something. I mean Andy Gros is just a fan like the rest of us, y'all. What am I missing? LOL

Speaking of Deggs...maybe he can come back...rumor is SHSU fans are not happy that they went from Supers to missing postseason...no contjnued growth and they want him out now that their bar is set high...we’ll see!!

I think more coaches should use the Pentahlam to promote the University.

Hilarious dude. I’m sure you’d be one of these fans that really think that 2013 and 2014 just happened, right ? No common denominator here at all. None.

Look, I don’t want to get sideways with good baseball fans more than I already have. I understand former players are wondering what’s going on and I get that. I understand that fans want answers and I get that too.

I’m just posting what I’ve been told by people that I trust. People that have very rarely steered me wrong. Roster will be totally different, coaching staff decisions were made before the end of the season and JT will not be our hitting coach.

These threads always devolve into people taking shots at Robe and what he HASNT done for this program. I’m just reminding you all, even the Robe haters, what Tony has done here (with regards to sustained national success, not just 2000 & 2014) is nothing short of a miracle. I refuse to bash a guy that literally looks at our program like we do. With passion and love.

Don’t worry. Like I said months ago, we will all be happy with the end result.

Please Lord Baby Jesus, make football season get here QUICKER!

I dont care anymore about the non-announcement, but I still feel like the loyal fans (top 10 in atendance) deserve more than what he's giving us. I regard it as a slap in the face.
