Thank you for sharing this.
Gig'em, Ole Army Class of '70
I believe he respects our coach and feels for what happened to the guys last year.
When the other guy was here, Tony usually had a smart comment toward us or him.

"They've got alot of oil money down there". Yes, we do. Would you mind accepting a huge wad of it to come coach here?

Translation is Aggie baseball is FUBAR and he hopes it remains that way this weekend.
Something along the lines of what the 2 posters above said.
He knows they are gonna curb stomp us and likely sweep; and (credit to him), he's being polite enough not to kick a team when it's down when there's otherwise no motivation (e.g. no dislike for coach/program).

I believe Tennessee is likely to win the series, but I see it a a 2-1 weekend. A&M is going to get it together before this season ends. It could very well come against an opponent who is currently holding the slot A&M started the season with. If Earley can use that to motivate the team, this is the weekend to do it.
Thank you for posting OP.
Vitello: "There is a reason they were ranked #1 Pre Season. They don't just hand those things out Willy Nilly."
He said a lot of nice things about our players and coaches. I thought his comments prior to playing us this weekend reminded me of Woody Haye's comments after The Ohio State University beat TCU about 56 - 10: Woody said, "We got lucky."

It's going to take a complete game from pitching defense and offense to even win just one game this weekend. It's baseball so of course it can happen, but that has not happened very often this year against far weaker competition
Wanted to ask in a a new thread but this one seems appropriate.
Does the narrative change for you if A&M were to somehow win this series?
For me, yes. As it as least continues to leave the door open for a run to get into the NCAA tourney. And yes, I do not give up easily as I love baseball and want to cheer on a D1 baseball team damnit!! And I would prefer thar energy is spend not entirely on cheering for the team that Texas plays.

IMO, we have to win 14 of the next 21 SEC games (and finish 15-15) to make a regional. So yes, winning this series would be a good start.
I suspect we end up closer to 8-10 SEC wins.
Vitello is impressive. What he has done there and continues to do. He is smart, driven and it is easy to see why he is able to recruit. I think Earley has that same potential. He (Earley) could have used a few more years as an assistant to become as confident and polished as Vitello.

Why do people want to keep comparing Earley to Tony V? Have you heard them talk before? Their personalities are nothing alike. I would argue they are opposite even
I am pretty sure Early thought he was a few years away from being ready.Mike88 said:

If this team makes the tournament, they will have gotten very hot in order to overcome a very cold start, so that would change things. But, not making the tournament, no matter how close they might come, would be an abject failure. If we ended up 13-17 in the SEC, for example, I would hate to be in Trev's shoes. He's probably not pull the trigger, but, he would know that we crapped the bed with the best talent Earley is ever likely to have, which would not be a comforting thought.dcg4403 said:

Given how we have played to date, something under 10 SEC wins seems more likely.

For those of us whose narrative is "I like watching Aggie Baseball regardless of the score/team record", the narrative does not change even if we are swept by Tennessee.
Yep, five of our remaining series are against teams on top of the league standings (total of six SEC losses between them going into the weekend) and only LSU will be at Olsen. That would be a daunting schedule even if A&M were playing consistently good ball. Assuming we can get five wins between Mizzou and SC (a big if), we would still need seven Ws against those five to get to 13 wins. It is going to be quite a task just to to meet the 9-21 SEC mark of RC's final season at the helm.

Vitello was an assistant at high level programs for over 20 years across 3, DI programs. Good coaches are good because it didn't come cheap and it took considerable time in the trenches. This is NOT Earley….. maybe in 10 years, but not in the near future (he had a grand total 7 years as a DI coach…. 7 and was given the head job…. embarrassing)

It's funny how so many of us, myself anyway, thought Vitello was such a d@&$ last year during the CWS. He just knew the truth about Schloss and gave him the appropriate level of respect.
I remember when RC got fired. I was 100% on the "hire Tony V at all costs" bandwagon. I was not disappointed when we hired POS though. And as I watched Tony V kinda d-bag his way around a couple of seasons and make an ass of himself most weekends, I was more and more convinced we got it right
Turns out my first instinct really was the best

I love the insanely jealous "oil money" comments from every coach in every sport regarding A&MWabs said:
"They've got alot of oil money down there". Yes, we do. Would you mind accepting a huge wad of it to come coach here?
If we're so stupendously loaded that we're all bathing in $100 bills and you're at SUCH a disadvantage vs A&M because of it, why don't you come down and be a part of it? Put your mouth where the money is?

I'll have what he's having
