Copped this relic from Goodwill today. It tastes like the first day of pads in 5th grade. Water cannot get colder than this. I wonder what kind of player Andrew Clark from Marietta, GA was!
Tough way to end the season, but hats off to Oklahoma. And congrats to our players and their families for a tremendous seasonโฆ even though it stings now.
Tomorrow, a large group of former @GTBaseball players and supporters of the program are launching a series of initiatives to get behind James Ramsey and @GTBaseball in a way that builds a lasting competitive advantage. Not a mild competitive advantage, but one that is almost impossible for other schools to match.
It starts with having funds and strategies that will ensure @GTBaseball competes at the highest levelโฆ year in and year out. It culminates with 34 funded scholarships, over-the-cap funds for special projects and elite roster construction, and investments in advanced hitting and pitching technology. It also involves connecting our tremendous network of business executives and former and current professional baseball players in a way that no other school can. We have never really leveraged this network to drive athletic success, but we will going forward.
We should have learned some lessons from this regional series. Although our lineup was superior, Oklahoma had at least 8 pitchers that threw 95 or above. And each of them had good command of one or two off speed pitches. At the end of the day, their pitching was the story of the tournament. They kept a generational lineup off balance just enough to scrap out enough runs to win two games. Our pitching was really good all season, but their pitching staff was elite, especially their bullpen. And that was the difference.
We are going to come together to give James and @RGAlpert all the tools they need to consistently compete for National Championships. Itโs easy to get mad and swear off GT athletics after another heart-breaking loss, but that is what losers do. Winners dust themselves off and get back to work the next day. Thatโs what we are going to do!
If you are a GT graduate, former athlete or fan who wants to be a part of taking our program to a consistently elite level (inclusive of unique perks ๐), then please reach out to me to learn more.
If you are a GT graduate, former athlete, or fan who wants to expand your network in a way that will advance your career and connect you to GT Athletics in an โinner circleโ way, then please reach out to me.
We are hosting a series of educational webinars over the next two months that should help explain how we are going to break through to elite status.
We have tremendous momentum already.
I hope you will consider being involved.
Go Jackets! ๐

The egos in amateur baseball, all levels (all), are way too big and we are reinforcing them.
Yes, youโre allowed to pimp homers and bat flip, but the pitcher is allowed to put one in your ribs
Finished the last interlude today at 5:21.ย That is a wrap: Wind and Truth, Book five of the Stormlight Archive, is finished. Tomorrow morning, I'll hand it off to the proofreading and copyediting team.ย 491k words.ย The first file I have in my folder for this was dated March 2021, though active writing started about a year after that.ย So two years and a few months spent working on this full time, with another year of working on the outline.ย Feeling great about this final version!ย See you all December 6th.ย The book, finally, is DONE.
The best in college golf!
