Soccer thoughts:
1. Players should be able to use their hands briefly; similar to hockey players.
2. Offsides should be eliminated.
3. Teams should be rewarded with a PK per every 5 corner kicks.
4. Yellow cards should put players in a penalty box for 2 minutes.
Kevin Schnall has hit the ground running.
Here's my predictions.
ENERGY and TOUGHNESS will be restored.
The best players in our state will remain in SC.
Founders will be packed.
Gamecock baseball will rise from the ashes.
Great hire! Let's go! 😎🔥
@GowagsKyle My favorite is when a kid swings at a high pitch and everybody in the ball park (including the coaches) aggressively point out that that the ball was over his head.
@Schoat I'll agree that big time college baseball should never be played at 9:30 AM.
So, maybe I should rethink my initial comment. 🤔
But my overall thoughts on pitching depth remains the same.
I hear coaches complaining about the NCAA regional format being flawed.
Personally, I thought the regionals were electric!
Coaches-stop complaining, and develop more pitchers throughout the year. Nobody is forcing you to overuse your pitchers. You are choosing to do that.
@KDSplawn Regional teams must win their fair share of midweek games as well. Develop more pitchers, don't be afraid to put them in tight situations throughout the year, and you will be better prepared for the regional. It's called a 'pitching staff' for a reason.
Our Gamecock baseball team in 2000, was ranked number 1 in the country for the majority of the season. We went 25-5 in the SEC and 50-6 overall 😳. We lost to Louisiana Lafayette in game 3 of the Supers. It was devastating at the time. That being said...UCLA... What was that?!
