We get a couple of cream puffs in the midweek with SIU-Edwardsville tomorrow and at Oral Roberts Wednesday. Then at home for 3 against UT-Arlington.

I expect some 15-13 type midweek scores.

Listened to most of the coaches show tonight. Mini-B's startin' to get some swagger - cocky even. I just hope it's for real and not a flash in the pan year that extends the misery a couple extra seasons. We do have some serious talent. Gregg Marshall is pullin' for him too. I really wanted Mini-B to work out. He's a GREAT recruiter.

I still lol at the "Mini-B" stuff. So did you find out that he's actually recruiting kids under 6-foot now? Yep, the 6' prerequisite is gone for now. Maybe that'll help us recruit some baseball players.

I'm not sure why he'd be so cocky just a little more than 24 hours after that debacle? I think it's a little early for him to be thinking everything is gravy.

I want WSU baseball to be good. I want it to be back. I'm not convinced that Todd Butler is the guy to do it. I still see the same low IQ stuff that has happened since Day 1. It's now being overshadowed by a couple of stud first-rounders that might help us eek out a few more games than we normally would. He may be a great recruiter but he's a horrible coach. That was proven at McNeese State and at WSU.

If we are a fortunate enough to get to the NCAA's this year (definitely not a guarantee), then what about next year? After the draft clears us out, we'll be down to nothing again.

It's still early. We'll see how it pans out. I'm not holding my breath.
