Re: ElAyeTechBaseball at Western
Coach's show is at Noon tomorrow. With any luck the buses will pull into Ruston before dawn.

Crazy play for sure. After out number 2 was made you could hear a WKU fan yelling, "Go! Go!"...sure enough the player at 3rd held up longer than it took for Taylor to make the Tag at 2nd. That was REALLY bad base running on them.

Good grief! The traffic jam was bad enough, but then the bus would not start yesterday or today. Dave mentioned that they were told, "DO NOT turn the bus off again!" I wonder if it was Mayo Tours.

We had a problem with a Red River bus earlier this month. It would not shift in to gear. They finally turned it off and restarted it. Technology!

After beating UL-Lafayette last week we bused at the crack of dawn to New Orleans to catch a flight to Charlotte to then bus 4 hours to Beckley, West Virginia where we were playing Marshall. We had travel delays on the return trip and then looked flat as a pancake on Tuesday night. I've heard one story that said we practiced on Monday and another that said we did not.
We did not practice on Monday, lift only, as usual when we return from road series.

Then we bused to Bowling Green from Ruston on Thursday. What was supposed to be a 10 hour bus ride plus a stop for a meal in Alabama turned into about a 13 hour bus ride after being stuck in traffic for more than 2 hours where the bus didn't move. We got in late into Bowling Green and the decision was made not to practice, which would have ended around midnight.
We gave up a homerun to the WKU's first batter of the game (I think it was the first) and it was all down hill from there.
As the parent of one of our players told me earlier this season 'if we could take charter flights to just a few select series it would make a huge difference. Not even a jet. A 50-seat prop plane would work just fine'.
I think these 2 series would have been good candidates.
Gotta pay for T-Mac's raise somehow. :rolleyes4:
I'm so glad he signed a long-term contract with that raise. I don't know what we'd do if we lost him.
