Very good interaction and respectful disagreement. Thank you for that as well!

You know, you can express concern with a direction without it being an overreaction, right? Not everything is good, nor does everything happen because Texas wants it to.

I get what you’re saying. I know a couple people who are decently close to baseball program people and I’m not kidding you about the financial commitment baseball gets. It’s not as much as you’d think. Combine that with losing the key recruiting guy who built those A&M teams for Schloss, and yeah, I think we may be in for some trouble. I’m not saying we’re going to lose everything, but I am saying that we may lose recruitments we should win (see Bino + Clemson catcher). There was a reason things “didn’t work out” with Bino.

Because the guy did all of the recruiting. That’s why it’s a big deal. You’re basically bringing someone new into the fold who doesn’t have the recruiting connections Cain did. You’re now starting from scratch in the middle of portal season. Now you also have to defend from Cain poaching from us. It’s a big deal. As for funding, it’s no secret that there are other schools with bigger financial commitments to baseball. A&M commits more from an NIL + Rev share base, same with Miss State. We’re top quarter of SEC, but not first. Not saying you need to be at the top (see OU), but we do not have the biggest baseball war chest.

I don’t have a problem with that at all, tbh.

Nolan Cain can take anyone he wants EXCEPT Ashton Larson. PLEASE DON’T TAKE ASHTON LARSON.

I fear it’s time to defund the Disch. It was a good run, let’s pack it up. Give the money to Sark to go buy the best money can buy!

Football and basketball getting an additional $3 million each would mean we’d get another difference maker or 2 in each, I.e., natties. Sorry I just want greatness and don’t settle for mediocrity like some!

I, for one, would be all for defunding baseball and giving to to Sark and Sean.

Was this a surprise to anyone?

Was this supposed to be a shock?

Nobody can quit me, not even @Jeff Howe

I bet @Joe Zura won’t post his address so @Bunk Moreland can do us all a favor and kick his ass

Jeff just took down another post of mine, what the hell?

Unbelievable - I’m the first kid
