We were only a play or two from pulling it out.
I thought we had a chance until that last FG.
Yeah, it's never a good sign when you baseball team loses lots of games by multiple TDs.
Someone has to burn for this. Zero excuse for our baseball program to be where it is.
I feel sorry for our players. Management decided to burn a year by giving the job to guy who was out of the game for three+ years, and there obviously wasn't any kind of plan or effort to make this year a decent one.
Kingston should have been gone, but sweet Lord, what a cluster hump this turned out to be. Recruits must be running away in droves.

Did anyone see what happened today? Much worse than yesterday. Up 12-2 and lost. Up 12-5 in the 8th.
Impossible to plan or effort to make this year decent as you mentioned. He was hired in JUNE. Basically playing with that other coaches players. Time will tell if coaches should be changed.
I get that he didn’t have time to build roster. But this roster was able to get a 12-2 lead. Anytime a 12-2 lead is blown, everyone deserves blame. That’s pretty freaking awful.
June is six months before the season begins, a half a freaking year. That's far, far, far from impossible, but because they hired a "legend" who's been out of the game for 3+ years, HE may not have had enough time, but that just makes his hiring more stupid not less so. Within a short period of time a great baseball coach who's up to speed with the times could have better evaluated our situation. He clearly could not or just did not. It's a wasted year.
We know he wasn't hired as a long termer, he's 67 going on 68. He was hired as a temp to right the ship in the short term. In light of that, he's already failed, but of course we'll make excuses for him... more time... better players... blah, blah, blah...
Recruiting just got a LOT harder.
