MIAMI UPDATE

[JimP]

Binghamton U (in Vestal, NY) just announced a $60M donation for baseball (their baseball facility was already better than the Hap, IMO).

Interesting part about their student fees

"Students are charged a fee based on the number of credits they take each semester. The fee was $19 a credit during the 2010-11 academic year, according to university records. The same fee is now $26.25, a 38% increase."

It is currently better than Mason's field - no doubt. Local news guy said the new complex will put it up there with any college facility in the nation. Seems very doubtful, though $60 million can buy you a lot of stadium in Binghamton, NY.

Where they can its up there with any college facility is that most of the major baseball schools are in the south and don't have a need for a full indoor practice building. I'm sure some Big 10 schools probably do. I think of Penn St's baseball stadium. Its better than what BU will have but Penn St's stadium also doubles as a minor league stadium. So technically PSU's isn't a "college facility". Splitting hairs....
BTW, I'm amazed Kevin Stevens is still at the Press. Between him and John Fox, they've had two sports writers spanning over 60 years.

Would you rather be in SOLE possession of 12th place in your conference, like Mason, or in a three-way tie for 11th place like Miami?

A tough question indeed!

Coach L should retire already.

I would continue to bilk >$1.5 mill a year for as long as I could.

Good point

Why? He could go into broadcasting and make that and be a lot less stressed out.

Just an update:

Miami finishes its season at 15-16. George Mason is currently 17-15, and can do no worse than finish a game better than Miami this year.

Look. At. Your. God. Now.

This is from page 3 of the Mason Spirit Summer Edition. Being trolled on social media is one thing, but in our own alumni magazine?!?
I want to be upset with the editors for letting this through, but they probably don't know who Jim Larranaga is

Miami will have FOUR fifth-year seniors in its rotation plus a senior PG in Chris Lykes. Hurricanes should make legitimate ACC jump. Experience > Talent.

"Nysier Brooks, Miami: The biggest thing that Brooks will bring to the Hurricanes? An expectation of winning. The 6-11 big man was a combined 89-18 in his three years at Cincinnati and came to Coral Gables with a goal of getting Miami back to the NCAA Tournament in 2021."

Miami's Sam Waardenburg will miss the entire 20-21 season due to a left foot injury, per release.

 

[CHRISTOPHER JAMES JOLLAY]

Haha is anyone watching Miami on the DEUCE?

Boilermakers dropping a big fat DEUCE on L's squad right now!!

 

[KAOriginal]

Apparently U only had 8 scholatship players playing, missing their #1 PG and are about to win.

And the announcers are praising the adjustments Miami has made to "flip the script" and come back from 20 down.

Considering what I have watched for almost a decade since he left....I do miss it.

 

[CHRISTOPHER JAMES JOLLAY]

Haha they suck

 

[sleeperpick]

Haha they suck

He lucked out snagging Cincinnati big man as a transfer or his team would have been super trash inside
