I was at the game yesterday and understand that walk up songs and the like are just for fun, but maybe our players need to read the room a little bit and try to humble themselves at this point. It doesn't look great for Jace to walk up to "here comes the money" when he's not even batting his weight. Seems overly arrogant and ridiculous when you're performing the way you are.

I think this team was reading the papers all offseason long about how great they were and thought they were just going to breeze right back to Omaha.

Maybe a little humbling and self-reflection should be in order.

I think you're reading way too much into a walk up song.

He's had it since he got to campus as a freshmen.

Walk up song ain't the problem

Is the OP looking too much into it? Probably so

Is he wrong though? Absolutely not


It is a bad look and makes you seem very inmature and arrogant. When you're pulling that much NIL $ and not producing. Send a message that all he cares about is the $.

Situation where " coaches" should step in and offer some guidance .

Idk, superstition runs deep in baseball! I've heard of players wearing the same unwashed clothes for many games when they have a hitting streak going. Jace needs some kind of change to get him going. He literally went from the #1 prospect to the 4th best hitter in our lineup at the moment. I'd try anything!

Almost every 21 year old stud athlete IS immature and arrogant. And trying to produce for the money they will earn at the next level.

The concept of NIL has broken some of ya'lls brains.

Correct, but you also don't need to announce it to everybody thru a walk up song

Same a Johnny Manziel flashing dollar signs walking across the draft stage then proceeded to be one the biggest busts in NFL history.

It's a bad look

I think the NIL has broken your thought process… not mine.

I think Schott needs to change his number.

12 is a baseball jinx.

Walk up songs are for fun. Maybe changing it up could help with fun, and making a mental change.

Jace still has a .963 OPS, which seems pretty good unless last season was supposed to be the floor (1.047 in 2023 and 1.175 in 2024). With just 18 games played that number could easily tick back up.

Since he has a CS this year he could change the song to Jane's Been Caught Stealing [once].

Why was he sliding feet first?

If he goes in head first, he's safe.

Jace is one of the few reasons I watch the games right now, elite athlete. plus he's an A++ person. I'm cool with it.

I think Jace needs to change his hitting coach first.

Because he and the team were backing it up.

That's the point.

Oh that's just silly.

The '22 team looked like hell until the LSU series. The '23 season, well let's just not talk about that. Last year we had a slump in the SEC.

No one suggested changing it then. Hell, most folks probably didn't even know what it was. It doesn't look immature or whatever else nonsense. It's just his walk-up.

I keep thinking about the '22 team. This team reminds me of them. The struggle at the start was real.

If, of all things you want our coaches thinking about RIGHT now (or ever, really) is how the crowd is going to perceive the optics of our walkout songs, and have conversations with our players about them, I really don't know what to tell you.

THAT'S where you think they should be focusing even 0.01% of their energy right now?

On his batting….they call it an average for a reason.

Supposedly the song has been the same since he got here. It's a little obnoxious but a little swag like that is ok…if you back it up.

However. If you do any of the following, you open yourself up to deserved criticism: lobby hard for a friend /coach to be hired when probably not qualified, take a massive nil bag, sit out fall/spring practices, significantly underperform at the plate to start the season, lead your team to the worst start of a preseason #1 - maybe ever, etc.

If you do all of the above, you should probably rethink just about everything you are doing.

Yes, "unserious" fan who spent all day and about $800 going to the game yesterday. Did you?

This is absolutely spot on!

I think he should change it to change the mojo. He's had the song since he got her though so it's not whatever you are trying to make it out to be.

Batters slump. I know…college baseball means that doesn't happen but it does.

How is the OP such an expert on how the baseball board operates? They've been here for a little over a week.

And the champion later in 22 ended up being an Ole Miss team barely above .500 in conference and just got hot at the right time.

If you don't think college coaches should or do give guidance to their players on things outside of baseball… I really don't know what to tell you
A head baseball coach is responsible for every aspect of the program. How his players act and present themselves is very high on the list of job expectations

And "this is how some fans online are talking about your walk up song, that is not at all inappropriate, and are always goofy" is not one of those priorities.

But again- you just tried to argue the other day that A&M could hire a head baseball coach for $300K, which is less than an assistant salary. So you not having any idea what's going on isn't new.

Let's be honest, OP probably didn't know that was his walk up song until yesterday.

FWIW, he had a different song to open this season. Went 0- and changed it back to finish opening weekend.
