btw, TCU is now 2 wins away from winning the whole...fucking...thing.

Nah. They're two wins away from going to the championship series. And they have to take those two from defending champ Vanderbilt. But yes we should have beaten them.

6/19/2015 11:15:24 AM

this thread continuing to be at the top of sports talk just makes me sad about this time of year

6/19/2015 11:20:52 AM

Hey look another talented Avent team not living up to expectations.....but let's keep this guy around.

I'm sure most of you don't have a clue but we lost a series to BC at home last week and lost one today to ND we should have won easily.

3/19/2016 6:15:23 PM

oh noes...chicken little the sky is failing!

3/20/2016 4:05:09 PM

foh mane, good baseball teams never lose games they shouldn't

3/20/2016 4:51:49 PM

We are 3-3 after home series with the time worst ACC teams.

I swear you guys are content with anything. Avent can coach till he dies I guess.

3/20/2016 7:26:29 PM

if Boston College is one of the two worst ACC teams, I wanna know when Duke and Virginia Tech were kicked out. BC isn't terrible... they got votes in a least a couple of the most recent polls

3/20/2016 10:07:26 PM

traditionally BC is bad...this year's team is solid, i thought.

3/21/2016 7:29:52 AM

you mean there's a chance packboozie is completely full of shit ?


you don't say ....

3/21/2016 8:11:49 AM

How'd I know that packboozie would be the one to bump this?

3/21/2016 9:10:26 AM

Only TWWers would say BC is solid at baseball.....they lost to North Dakota State and Butler

[Edited on March 21, 2016 at 10:50 PM. Reason : I'll never understand why you guys defend Avent so much]

3/21/2016 10:50:15 PM

Even though Oregon State is the #3 team in the country, they should probably fire their coach for losing to 11-10 Utah Valley and 7-15 San Francisco

3/21/2016 11:40:31 PM

I don't think we're defending a series loss to Boston College as just pointing out how absurd you are to get on your high horse after 5 ACC games.

3/21/2016 11:50:32 PM

We are going to be a .500 ACC team, 3 seed NCAA, and another year of not winning the ACC after being preseason top ten. You do realize how long he has been here right?

BC will go 10-20 in the league. We probably go 16-14. Some things never change.

3/22/2016 8:28:48 PM

Ugly last 2 weeks. Incredibly inconsistent offense and a pitching staff that doesn't seem to have as much depth as it seemed we were gonna to.

3/22/2016 8:59:45 PM

boozie, have you ever considered that in being such a shitmonger you invite these results on a karmic level?

3/22/2016 10:45:40 PM

quality post/observation

3/22/2016 10:58:50 PM

avent hasn't proven boozie wrong... so there's that

3/23/2016 12:07:35 AM

We're ranked 14th in the nation? Based on YOU people I figured Avent had us in the basement.

4/11/2016 8:41:36 PM

still credible

4/11/2016 9:53:56 PM

6 in a row and win 23-3!!!

4/14/2016 12:01:56 AM

look, we can't talk about this shit, get excited, celebrate, or otherwise pay any attention to baseball.

as soon as we collectively start caring, we go right into the shitter.

4/21/2016 1:48:45 PM

Keep throwing DeJuneaus in games we could possibly win coach

6/5/2016 12:18:41 AM

You got some balls posting in here after we ended up hosting a regional and BC ended up making the NCAA tournament. 

6/5/2016 12:23:40 AM

He just needs a few more spawn of HOF players. Then we'll be on our way to Omaha.

6/5/2016 12:29:10 AM

I said BC would go 10-20 they went 13-16. Had us 16-14 we went 15-13...well 16-15 counting ACCT.

We have not lived up to expectations. Really shocking around these parts I know.

6/5/2016 12:32:50 AM

You called them one of the two worst ACC teams, they weren't...discussion over. Living up to expectations is a matter of opinion, we ended up effectively being the #9 national seed which seems pretty dead-on compared to the preseason rankings.

Fact of the matter is that you were going to complain regardless of the results this season.

[Edited on June 5, 2016 at 12:40 AM. Reason : .]

6/5/2016 12:37:20 AM

Fact of the matter is Avent is a good coach, but we will never be a serious contender. We couldn't win with 2 first round MLB picks. In fact missed the postseason one year with them.

20 years and no conference titles. Imagine if Herb coached for 20. Team is clearly not well coached. Anyone that knows baseball can see it in our team. Not clutch at all. Last year against TCU was one of the biggest choke jobs ever.

Avent will keep us winning and making NCAATs but not much beyond.

[Edited on June 5, 2016 at 12:46 AM. Reason : We were not the 9 seed don't kid yourself. We were the last host team. They don't seed 9-16.]

Hey dumbass, we got paired with the #8 national seed for the super regionals, effectively making us the last team out for a national seed. Why would they pair the last host team with the weakest national seed? It's all dumb luck right? Fuck off you moron.

Your Herb comparison is too dumb to respond to, we have never won a national championship in baseball and our facilities suck compared to other baseball powers.



[Edited on June 5, 2016 at 12:55 AM. Reason : .]

6/5/2016 12:51:12 AM

Hey dumbass it doesn't work that way. They don't seed 9-16. Already tried to tell you. Whatever.

6/5/2016 12:55:12 AM

According to who? I realize they don't technically give out the seeds beyond 1-8 but you're being obtuse.

And let me address this little gem:

Quote :

"Not clutch at all. "

So beating GT in 12 innings in the ACC tournament last week wasn't clutch?

And beating Miami last year in extra innings in the ACC tournament wasn't clutch either?

Do i even need to bring up the Rice game in the Super Regional a couple of years ago?

You have some kind of special memory to be able to ignore that.

6/5/2016 1:05:44 AM

Quote :

" Had us 16-14 we went 15-13"

Did you have the ACC hosting however many regionals as we hosted? I know you made some big rant about how UNC got robbed of an NCAA berth...

6/5/2016 1:20:51 AM

Your three examples of us being clutch are when GT dropped a routine fly ball with 2 outs in the 9th to give us two runs to go to extras, a little league HR by Palmeiro, and a home series win we were favored in over Rice. That's sad actually.

^Not sure what you are getting. The ACC was the best league by any metric and UNC got hosed.

6/5/2016 1:40:57 AM

I wasn't aware that coaches were able to coach clutchness in any sport

Quote :

"So beating GT in 12 innings in the ACC tournament last week wasn't clutch?"

that's legitimately one of the dumbest things I've ever seen on this board, though

[Edited on June 5, 2016 at 3:20 AM. Reason : I happened to actually watch that game]

6/5/2016 3:17:48 AM

I want to second when the fuck "Clutchness" became a coachable metric. WTF

6/5/2016 10:23:24 AM

Quote :

" I happened to actually watch that game"

If you watched that game you'd recall that we didn't score any runs on the dropped fly, that just kept us alive and put another man on base. Pitarra still had to get a hit with 2 outs to score the runners, and Deatherage still homered over the blue monster in the 12th both of which i'd call clutch but i'm sure you have some dumb reason for that not being the case.

6/5/2016 11:34:24 AM

they benefited from an absurd dropped fly and won in extra innings

were they told to be extra clutch?

did that dropped ball activate their clutchness?

[Edited on June 5, 2016 at 2:32 PM. Reason : .]

6/5/2016 2:30:08 PM

GT opened the door, but we had to walk through it. Not arguing Avent has done anything in particular to make our team clutch, just that we've won our fair share of games late in improbable fashion.

6/5/2016 3:17:52 PM

Quote :

I thought that was false because they have to account for things like conference plus even if they don't always say it travel as well. Although there might be a rough correlation to the pairings it doesn't mean we were def. 9 on the board.

6/6/2016 8:11:25 AM

+1 for that tirade and ensuing ejection

6/6/2016 3:24:23 PM

^^its definitely false, they wont pair conference opponents in a super regional. state was one of the last few teams picked to host I guarantee. Can be noted by the fact that we got the best #2 seed in our regional

6/6/2016 3:31:21 PM

+1 for the clutchness of winning the must win game.

-1 for not actually being there to coach the game.

6/6/2016 4:04:45 PM

AAAAND he's suspended for tonight's game.

6/6/2016 4:33:50 PM

2 game suspension right?

6/6/2016 4:58:53 PM

Oh no, who's going to get the team to turn up their clutchness?

6/6/2016 9:35:38 PM

He's suspended for the next game too. But its worth it for that baller tirade.

6/6/2016 11:00:23 PM

Hahahaha they put it on the telestrator on Mike and Mike and showed intricate details of the spin move he put on the umpire
