Our commish sucks!
OH! my goodness !
Sorry! Just tired of some of the silly decisions. Especially the appearance of favoritism played every year.
Most of the "silly decisions" are actually just following conference sport procedures as agreed to by the ADs and presidents. But we don't know that because the conference is not transparent about it. Making the conference handbook publicly available would eliminate most if not all of the speculation regarding "silly decisions" and would make conference officials accountable if their decisions are contrary to the published procedures.
Nothing about 9 inning games to be complete in the C-USA baseball rules. It's like they just pulled that out of the air.
4 game series was just another in the long line of idiotic decisions by CUSA. But I guess it’s to be expected with a woman commissioner. About all she’s good for is making sandwiches.
Already a light sprinkle in Ruston
I remember when we were in the WAC they did the 4 series games. I worked for the athletic Dept as an intern then. One weekend the Friday night game was postponed cause of rain in the bottom of the 8th inning with the game tied up and tech had a runner on 3rd. We resumed the game at 12pm on Saturday, which was already scheduled for a double header. The game resumed, Tech first pitch hit scored the run. Next hitter hits into double play and goes to top 9th where tech gets 3 up 3 down and ends game. Game lasted maybe 15 minutes. Then there has to be a 1.5 hour break before the next game. The 2nd game is played and it was average time 3 or so hours. Than a break. The 3rd game was a drawn out game and it goes extra innings. We were at the ball park from 10am until almost midnight. After that season the WAC placed the rules only 2 games in 1 day can be played. I love baseball but that day was exhausting.
Halted GameSECTION 40. A game that is stopped at any time after its start and is to becompleted at a later date (see 5-9).
No GameSECTION 11. “No game” shall be declared by the umpire if play is terminatedbefore five innings have been completed by each team.Exception 1—If the team last at bat is at bat in the last half of the fifth inningand equals, before the completion of that inning, the score of the side first at bat,the umpire shall declare the contest legally tied.If the team last at bat shall have made more runs at the end of its fourth inning,or before the completion of its fifth inning, than the team first at bat has madein five completed innings, the umpire shall award the game to the team secondat bat; and it shall count as a legal game.Exception 2—Teams previously have agreed to play by the halted-game rule(see 5-9).
I guess none of the big donors want to get publicity by loaning Marshall their plane for the trip back. .hmm
Just a little thing, I’d like to see the BullDawg’s pregame video updated with some of this years recent highlights. I don’t want to have to wait until next year to see Garcia’s walkoff celebrated over and over. Maybe at least by tournament time the powers at be can pull that off.
....and exactly WHO is responsible for making the handbook publicly available? (Come on.....say it!)
Who is this announcer for today. He is very low effort. Come on man.
We know Judy is no Britton Banowsky or Mike Slive.
The latest handbook I have seen posted online is for the year that Banowsky stepped down from C-USA. But that decision likely requires the approval of the ADs and presidents. Not sure when Judy goes to a restaurant that she can order without consulting the ADs and presidents.
So, let's quit making excuses for her. It's her job to LEAD, and bring ideas to them (the AD's & Prez's). Not the other way around.
The Defense rests, your honor.
