I'm surprised, with all the scattershot blame and coach-from-the-hip advice flying around, that no one has focused on one of Tony's comments in the radio postgame:

We could have made a difference on defense and kept it much closer.
We didn't pinch hit as well as we needed to.
Ensley plays the game the right way, and younger players need to take note of that.

We had two spots in the lineup that we didn't get anything out of.
McElvain looked like a major leaguer out there tonight.
AJ threw the ball as well as he has since coming back.
Probably will start Teagan tomorrow.
AJ's work allowed us to have a few fresher arms for tomorrow.

----------------------------------------

Well, time for me to put this cold/flu/death rattle to bed for the night. Not that sleep will occur. It's just a little game me and the rhinoviruses play each night.

I put my head down... close my eyes... count to 10... then they go "BOO!" I think they call it "Hide and Go Sneeze."

Prayer for a Victory over yer cold. Rest well brother…
 
After tonight, I can conclusively say that LNS is no longer a Hornet’s Nest. Other than A&M, I’ve been to every home SEC series and probably 70% of the non conference games, so this isn’t a knee jerk reaction. I’m hoping it’s due to being a transitional year both on the field and in the stadium, but it’s not the same intimidating, loud, home field advantage of 21, 22, 23, and 24. LNS has lost its stinger. The crowd simply isn’t what it used to be. Perhaps it will come back…

Granted LNS is a construction zone and the team replaced 7 position player starters, the entire starting rotation, and most of our stud relievers. I think the expectations were way too high for the 2025 team. As CTV has said, this team was never the #1 in the country. They are a good team but not elite (and that’s okay—it’s impossible to be elite every year). I expect them to win a Regional and get to a Super. I will be cheering for them to make it to Omaha but admit that is unlikely. I hope they prove me wrong…

With that said, I‘m hoping a completed stadium, no more cranes or hard hat areas will give the stadium a new buzz in 26. Not the least of which is to give the students some actual seats and show them some appreciation by doing some promotions for them. GBO.

👆🏾Hear, hear! 👆🏾

A rowdy, near riotous ground swell of student support is difficult to manage and certainly something that cannot be purchased. It’s damn near got to be something along the lines of a secret mission…
