Blasphemy!!!! We are EASTERN Kentucky

Audio feed on utsports is not working. Is it being broadcast on the radio?

Western Kentucky.... Eastern Kentucky... meh.

Let's just rename them losers. Problem solved.

Joking...

Go Vols

Ooops. My apologies. :hi:

All good, Western just a big rival to Eastern

Rightfully so, screw Bowling Green (The city)!

Here's to a good game.

I'm covering this game for the daily beacon. There must be about 30 people in the stands today

 

[EKU Colonel 11]

So it a sounds like a regular home game for Eastern, Seriously we probably only get 100 or so people for each game, unless it Western or Morehead state

Covering it or total?

Guessing you mean total and that's sad.

I went to a 2A high school and 5 times that amount went to games.

If Raleigh can only get 30 butts in the stands, he has to do better this year or he is gone.

 

[EKU Colonel 11]

Good job Rich Rod. 2-0 Eastern.

 

[Domestic Silence]

It's like 38 degrees outside, not many programs are going to be filling up the stands today.

 

[EKU Colonel 11]

Glad the Colonels were able to only allow one in that jam

 

[EKU Colonel 11]

Nice homerun by Jayson Langfels

I bet a HS team could hit TN's midweek pitching...EKU with 3 runs already

Do college baseball teams ever fire coaches in the middle of a season?

A loss today to a 1-2 team might warrant it

Seriously though, Raleigh is already riding the conveyor built to the chopping blocks. A loss today won't bode well for him.

 

[TNVols58]

4-1 EKU top 3rd...unbelievable that our midweek pitching can't ever get it together

I like Coach Raleigh and I think he is doing a good job but it always feels like we could care less about the mid-week games.

You'll have that with bad coaching.

I hate the St. Louis Cardinals but they are proof of what good coaching can do. They sign players struggling after major injuries or players that are slumping and coach them back up. They won a World Series doing it. I have little faith in Raliegh. Still waiting for him to prove me wrong.

Really? Why?

His resume is terrible.

 

[EKU Colonel 11]

4-1 Eastern now

 

[volbeast33]

Really? Why?

His resume is terrible.

He is having to change over our entire roster with very limited scholarships.

I judge him more on the job he has done bringing in talent than wins and losses right now.

Is it true that there are a lot of Colonel fans there?

Hmm... well he was bad at Western Carolina too.

I know it's Western Carolina but they play other bad teams.

If Raleigh isn't at least 5 games over .500 when the season ends, I expect him to be fired. It's getting hard to justify Raleigh being the head coach with his below average resume while Phil Garner is sitting around doing nothing.

 

[EKU Colonel 11]

WCU has a decent team this year. They are now 5-1 with only a loss to the Colonels
