Thanks for posting. There was a very good interview held with Thomas today by John and Jimmy on Sports Talk. I'm not sure if it's up on their site yet. Personally I like the heck out of this hire. I liked Coach Mo a lot, and I'm not one to Just assume every hire is an upgrade. I do think we could have done much worse.

You do realize that you are thanking a bot?

I'm assuming you mean Board of Trustee? I'm kinda confused here. Come again.

And I'm not being smart, it's been a loooong day. I'm confused.

Edit: oh, you mean a robot, LOL. No I didn't know that. It has a post count, I assumed it was just another loyal poster. LOL

Yeah, should have been more clear with the robot part. Freak has it post in the threads that aren't posted in as much. Took me awhile to figure it out

LOL, that's cool! Other than the thanks, the rest of my original post was for anyone....including our robot buddy, lol. Good interview on the radio. I think Thomas was a good one.

Even so, Thomas is considered a good hire. Lots of OK fans hoped Hughes would keep him on there because he is a good recruiter.

I enjoyed the interview with Aric as much as any ive seen lately...of course me being a baseball man he was speaking my language...but i can see why he's a recruiting coordinator...I wanted to call and see if I had any eligiblity left at age 56...hopefully he'll have our baseball program back where it belongs soon...
