A Bad Sign?

[apaladin]

WCU is beating UNCG 6-0 in the 4th. WCU played all 3 games this weekend while FU/UNCG did not play any. Samford also played all their games so this could be a problem. UNCG looks real rusty, fielding and hitting. Obviously baseball is a game where you need to play regularly. Taking over a week off is not good in baseball.

PS-WCU has won 8 games all year,including last night's play in game. UNCG has won 37.

Baseball is also a game where one team can sneak up and bite any other team at any time.

Or...

...A GOOD SIGN, as 3 lower seeds have now already CRUSHED the higher seed.

Therefore, under section 37B of the SoCon Baseball Tournament bylaws, it states quite clearly, and you can read it for yourself in this photostatic copy! - I, the undersigned higher seed in Game 4, shall forfeit all rights to defeat the lower seed, such privileges, and licenses herein and herein contained, et cetera, et cetera...Fax mentis incendium gloria cultum, et cetera, et cetera...MEMO BIS PUNITOR DELICATUM!! It's ALL there! Black and white, clear as crystal!!

Hard to win when you don't come close to scoring. Wasted a great pitching performance by Schuermann. The future of FU baseball doesn't seem too bright right now. Hope I am totally wrong.

I think it is the V-neck pullover jerseys. U-G-L-Y. Have we won a game in these?

[Paul C]

2 runs scored in 17 innings.....down 5-2 going to the 9th. Looks like barring a huge comeback we are 2 and done.

Hope this is the nadir of the Harker-era.

[DungeonRealm]

Down 5-2 with 2 outs in the 9th inning and we get thrown out at home plate???? I think that sums up the all around coaching job Harker and his staff have done this season, piss poor and pathetic, and the season ends on a whimper

I cannot help but notice that Samford has fully embraced an athletic rebrand, but I cannot understand the value of "Sam." to the university.

Their athletic department seems to mix their old and new logos. They will sometimes go with an "S" and other times with an "SU." I can only guess that the benefit of "Sam." is to distinguish them from Stanford. I've heard Samford grads have to say "Sam, not Stanford" before.

Granted, not my circus and not my monkeys, but I just cannot get my head around it.

I think you're probably dead on with that. At the end of the day, no matter what they choose no one is really going to have heard of them. I think Syracuse when I hear SU. I think Stanford when Samford is said quickly. Sam I guess is the best option for the ESPN ticker but some might think Sam Houston State. Oh well.

I had not made this connection until recently, but look at the similarities here (top is Gonzaga):

Well, we now have a secondary logo. We've shortened our noble nickname, "Paladin" and mascot to 'Din (a loud, unpleasant, and prolonged noise). What's next? Put FUR on our jerseys? Why are we messing with simple, classic perfection?

[furman88]

Don't even think Trump could rebrand Furman's majestic colors or Diamond F. We need to celebrate our perfection. No changes!

We've had a secondary athletic logo for a long time. Before the current iteration, it was:

That logo was not uniformly used. At least the new secondary logo seems to have a purpose.

[Flagman]

Not sure what purpose you see. For me, it's just confusing.
