Bill's Baseball Thread [Experts ONLY]

My only point here VFB, is that I think the waters were troubled prior to the Giants coming calling. I think the allure of the show coupled with CTV not "believing" he was getting a fair shake lead to this decision. I'm not sure that any effort put forth this week was going to change his mind. I believe that it was already made up pending the Giants meeting his demands. I don't believe it had anything to do with his personal paycheck either.

I get your point. I just don’t think it’s any different than any other sport. Even football. They all want more. There’s a finite amount of “more”.

Edit: to be more clear, yes he was always begging for more. No, it wasn’t a source of animosity between CTV and DW imo

I do not disagree at all there. I do believe that the new unlimited scholarships needs to be recognized though and I dont think we are there yet. I also agree that the be all school isn't really possible if it ever was.

I mean, we won a natty in baseball. We were a playoff team in football last year. Fringe this year so far in what’s supposed to be a down year. SEC champs in men’s basketball. Back to back elite eights. Women’s basketball is rising. Women’s softball is always a contender.

I'm a little less level headed about this than you are. Still making plans for 2 or 3 series next year.

The people mad at CTV about the timing (not the tsio part just the In October in general) are the ones that really stand out. Like he has a say in when MLB teams do their hiring

@NorCalVol67 are you sitting down with booze in hand currently? I’m making sure you’re prepared to see something before I share it.

And, no, it’s not for that thread. It’s more for the things I’m mad at thread

It would be hard not to end all ties to the university if this happened. I don’t think it will, but just saying. Moreover, he retweeted it saying he’d be more than interested. But I’m not giving that racist POS any clicks
