Well actually I am from Monterey, in between Cookeville and Crossville so I keep up with the local college and they aren't too aweful bad this year I think they 20-7 and have played everyone pretty close. We just didn't play very well at all yesterday. Some wild pitches in the sixth changed the momentum to Tech. Fun game to watch tho.

will people finally start to believe that delmonico left the cupboard bare and it's going to take 2-3 years minimum before we can ever truly see any effects of the Raleigh administration?

Didn't Delmonico have some worse losses the last couple of years with more talented teams? I can't think of the games but I'm almost certain there were a couple.

Since I live in Cookeville, I hear a lot about Tech, and like the earlier post said they're not a bad team. Still, losting to tech if your Ut can't be considered an ok loss. Hopefully over time things will nget better.

I'm just not sure with the way Baseball schollies work, that we'll be able to improve the "cupboard." How are you supposed to convince top talent to come when you basically cannot offer them a full scholarship? He will get players to fit his system though, and you would have to figure that would help.

Each school gets 11.7 scholarships and they are "splitable", meaning a coach can offer X player 1/2 a scholarship and Y player a 1/4 scholarship. As you can guess, the level of player you are determines how much you get, although there are other factors too.

it's not the law's fault, it's how school's are handling the law. Instead of making sure it's equal by addition, schools are simply making it equal by subtraction.

Yeah, its the school's fault for not wanting to go more in the red.

we both know that UT isn't coming anywhere close to the red in the athletics department. Plus, I'll add while making a profit is nice, it's not what collegiate athletics should be about.
