While I didn't like every change under the former regime, having someone take a critical look at what we are doing was a good thing. Prior to the change, our fans were too apt to sit on their hands, and that changed for the better. Some things would be good coming back, but not everything.

On the team doing the War Hymn, that was a Rob Childress thing. Never happened before his tenure. I think the point about the team being focused on the game was a valid one; it's the very same argument RC made about the football team singing the Spirit right before kickoff. Doing it as the team takes the field also gets it on the telecast more than doing it 10 minutes before first pitch.

I like the addition of the Spirit.

I hope that the PA is given a bit of a freer hand to bring back some old stuff, but I don't think Aggie baseball needs to be frozen in amber. A little evolution is good.

And bring back swinging at the first pitch, especially when it is a strike!
A gross misrepresentation of the approach, likely not going to change since Earley was the hitting coach under POS.

It's been years since I've been able to make a game, sorry to hear many of the traditions are gone it sounds. Do they still do the blues brothers video around the 7th iirc?

Rick retired. We have Mike now.

PA isn't in control of the music anymore. The current gal running it is named Ashley.

It never was his, but the athletic directors laid down and let him get away with it. It never should have happened.

Learn from it, and never let it happen again.

Did we actually have an approach, because we chased like crazy during the CWS.

Dang thanks for the info.

Who runs the music? I miss the old Aggie baseball tunes.

I'm c/o 22 but I remember.

I would say we took a 3-0.5 approach to the first pitch. Tennessee appeared to take more of a 3-1 approach.

The music operator. I'm not sure her exact title but POS took all the music and such from Rick and Mike without so much as giving them a chance to do it any other way.

I don't know if it'll still be Ashley next year or not. Someone needs to be hired to teach her about baseball. Multiple times this year she played things over the crowd doing usual stuff. Like interfering with the ball 5 chant. Now, I know POS dislike that so maybe she was told to play something. IDK.

Yaaa that's a bummer. I remember the traitor mentioned he was changing the environment to appeal more to recruits - which makes sense. My question is, did it actually appeal to recruits? I feel like it objectively sucked lol.

It sucks though for the fans. Also there's no point in drowning out the home field advantage IMO. Ball 5 (among other things) is what makes this place great, and what makes Olsen such a tough place to play.

She did a few other things out of context too, like playing music when our team was the offender (e.g. playing "walk this way" music when our pitchers issued a walk). There are a few more similar things I noticed but can't think of right now. I don't recall these ever happening prior to her but I'm not a fan.

I can go back and look in text messages to certain people to find all her screw ups from the games I attended but I don't have time for that right now.

She needs some training but that SHOULDN'T fall on the any of the PA guys given how they were treated.

I miss the rally rooster but I don't think that's been a thing for damn near 20 years now. I still have my rally rooster shirt though.

Ah yes. The old "we're replacing you and your last job is to train your replacement."

We either give that job back to Mike because he knows how to do it or we get a real baseball person in that role who at least knows the game and when it's appropriate to play things.

What are high socks? Are we talking about stirrup socks? If so, I'm for it.

The socks/length of the pants is a player-driven choice. The current vibe of the "dirty mids" is a revival of the early/mid-90's look.
