The Braves Thread

[Volfan1000]

Is AA even going to meet with Sasaki?

If he has no plans to improve this team, maybe he should just start the teardown and rebuild for the next GM.

Braves inked Anthopoulos to a new 7 year contract extension earlier this off season.

Is that why we can't spend money and improve the team? We're spending it all on a GM who won't make any moves. Excellent!

Some info I just saw in the RF.... TN will open up a semi public search, but theyve alraedy chosen the next Radio Broadcast team.
Neil Price will be the guy, and he will select the next crew, Pat wont be back.

Steve Hamer will take over Basketball.

Interesting. Have seen Neil's name mentioned for this job. He's got the history. Has anyone listened to his MSU broadcasts? Here's his story:

On a Fall Saturday in 1991 I was riding with my Dad in his 1985 Ford Ranger. The voices of John Ward and Bill Anderson, the iconic duo that served as the broadcasters for Tennessee football games during my childhood, were pouring out of the speakers. That’s when I was hooked. That’s when I knew what my career path would be.

In the decades since that “ah ha” moment, I have earned degrees from Walters State Community College and Middle Tennessee State University, building off of those degrees by seeking counsel from a network of successful broadcast professionals. That education, along with my passionate pursuit of broadcasting excellence, has allowed me to specialize in painting pictures with my words; conveying the energy and excitement of major college athletic events to listeners through top-quality radio broadcasts. I have represented some of the biggest brands in college sports including Mississippi State University, the University of Kentucky, and the Southeastern Conference.

Said Mike Keith, unless he has a change of heart isn't happening, but Neil has been around the program/coaches getting to know them. Also he already works for Learfield.

Mike Keith would do it but he wants to still do Titan games as well. He refuses to give that up.

Besides WC Titan games it's doable. If that's why he doesn't get it then DW is dumb.

There is much more to it than just calling games on both fronts. Weekly shows, radio appearances, etc etc. It’s doable but would be quite the reshuffling of the deck and hiring of more people to make it happen.

Someone who's been right on some things just said.
Bad News Portal Wise coming within an hour.

It's Boo.
We told him he would play both ways he never did.

We don’t even play the offensive freshmen on offense

Who in their right mind thought we were going to play defensive freshmen on offense?

I know we need to stack recruiting classes, supplement with portal additions blah blah blah

But I’m not getting worked up over any transfers. They’re all replaceable. No needle movers

I mean. Boo would've been helpful in the slot against Ohio St

But I will say kid went to 3 different HS. His mom was a trip when she was on here. This probably won't be the last time he portals somewhere.

He definitely would have been helpful in the slot. We might have only lost 42-17

I'm not arguing one player wins that game, but I do know the guy that played his position got toasted several times.

 

[AV_12]

The kid that got kicked out of multiple high schools is thinking about leaving? Shocker

 

[LotteryPick]

Yeah Boo just seems like that type.

Problem is we are getting worked in the portal right now and don’t seem to be spending what the others are willing to spend.

Gotta fulfill promises in today’s recruiting.

 

[mr.checkerboards]

Someone on VQ said he's in communication with our staff. May not be 100% just yet

Same person just said Boo was at 300k and now demanding triple.

 

[mr.checkerboards]

This is just dumb.

Last year the Vols tried to recruit a player and offered him $50,000. He chose his home state school for the same money and he was a solid starter. I am told that this year that same player will make $350,000. Almost all the $50,000 starting players on his current team had to be bumped to 350,000 just to retain them because of other schools poaching them. This is college football in 2025. This is why many fans will find something else to do on Saturdays in the Fall.

Same insider dropped this was coming too

 

[mr.checkerboards]

This guy is a Spyre rep

They’ve been working on this for over 2 weeks. Still fighting.

The Colorado draw is real for Boo and that family, this isn’t only money on the bottom line.

Hope the love for TN and faith in the staff is there to get them to stay….along with a very good offer we’ve put in front of them.
