Peppermint Patty

I agree in principle, but you may need to see a doctor if your poop looks maroon.

Naw. Just Metro bus stops.

You can get paid for this? I slept through crappy Sterling games for 20 years for free.

Who is this Obama guy? Did he de-commit from the Horns? Is he a 3 star? If not, then I'm not too concerned about him.

Best team is not the best program.

Referring to yourself in 3rd person and you call someone else a clown?

Technically, GCM is located in Highlands. So you're probably correct on that one,

3 stars don't ride in police cars.

No 5 star recruits? Not possible.

Definitely a "hired gun".  But, as a parent with a player on that team, you pay nothing. Therefore, if you have a problem with that, you are always free to leave. For the most part it is usually a pitcher or two. At some tournaments Perfect Game would ask if the team had a spot for a local player the scouts wanted to see play. That's just the way it goes. The Sun Devils provided national exposure. When they brought in "hired guns", that brought more scouts to their games. We're talking 3 or 4 tournaments-WWBA in Marietta, WWBA in Florida, and WWBA in Jupiter.FL in the Winter (maybe the largest scouting contingency I have ever seen).  They never claimed to "get" anyone a scholarship, they did provide every player with an opportunity to get noticed. I appreciate all that Mr. Ferguson and his staff provided my son. I know he had the talent and worked his behind off, but the opportunity they provided him is immeasurable.

I think Coach Strong texted Steve Patterson and said -
 
I wish you guys would come get me. Hurry up and hire me because I want to be there. I want to wreck this league together. 
 
 
Still gives me goose bumps. The guy is a competitor.

Just the wording and my childish mind at work.
 
Maybe he could use that new V Y Agra bat I've seen on the market. 

I understand how the system works.Most all kids playing summer ball are looking for exposure. The amount and quality of that exposure depends on where you play (tournaments, not position) and how well you play when you're there. 
 
Where the problems arise are when you have parents paying for their son to be on a team and then that team brings in a "hired gun" for the weekend. That is just plain wrong. Some teams eliminate this issue by having "fully funded" teams, like the Sun Devils in years past (not sure how they are structured under Matt Thompson). In that situation, you perform, you play. Any time you're not happy with that arrangement, you are free to leave. 
 
Coaches at every level of the game have one concern-keeping their job/winning. Some keep their job by developing the players they have, others keep their job by always looking for a better player.  It's the responsibility of the parent to research which type of coach you will be playing for.
 
Good luck to you guys. College baseball is a cut-throat business.

How about a division?

It is a great topic. Not sure how it posted twice. Probably just the awesomeness.

Pat Hayden is a great AD. 

Giving up 9 runs on 3 hits is never good. I expect this thing will go to a 3rd game,

Score 9 runs in one inning and then hang on. 

So now the coach will have to find another way to run off players.
 
The NCAA needs to address the transfer rules too.They need to stop punishing those players who take care of their business in the classroom and are still required to sit a year to transfer when their coach gets a new toy to play with,

First back-to-back CWS shutouts since Oregon did it in 2006. 6th time UT has done it at CWS.

The only situation Mr. X "champions" is Mr. X. He is a media whore, plain and simple. He shows up where he can obtain the most media coverage. 

The Salt Lick in Dripping Springs can't be beat,
