is okay, son. It means you were invested which in turn means you cared. Mom and I hope to teach you what it means to be invested and also how to respond when things don’t go your way. We love you, and we’ll wake you up in the AM ready to attack the day!

My wife sent this photo to me! One of the greatest joys in my life is seeing my wife and our son in the stands (watching the REBS)...even better - seeing them after the game!
Stud; he was on the steps in the bottom of the 9th cheering on his team after being taken out - seen guys sulk and feel sorry for themselves but not him. He gets it and is loved by his coaches and teammates.
#REBS
Humbled, honored, & excited at this opportunity. Look forward to getting to work!
Andrea and I want to thank everyone who has reached out - your supportive words & sincere happiness are felt by our family.
God Bless & Go

Research has shown the average person speaks at least 7,000 words a day, Those 7,000 words (at least) you speak each day leave an imprint/impression.
The following are 10 to consider:
“Good Morning!”
“Thank You.”
“You’re Welcome.”
“Appreciate You.”
“Love You.”

The Omaha Challenge Obstacle Course is not about athletic ability. It’s about a choice. The choice is TOUGHNESS. While

One of the most humble, courteous players I have ever been around; 3.0+ Civil Engineer major who many times had to leave practice to go to class only to return later & complete his workout. A +energy guy who made coming to the field a joy!
Appreciate ya & good luck, James.

Chatted w/CSU HC Marc Macmillan today about the incredible Ole Miss run to the CWS final series.
He came from Ole Miss. Graduated from there. Played for them. Coached many of these guys.
Tough to watch & not be there, & w/NCAA rules- can't talk to the kids either. Good stuff.

’ SUMMER PET PEEVES, so I am going to share one of mine w/re: to emails received stating a player’s interest: Included are every coach from personal Hitting to Pitching to Strength to Apparel😉but don’t include their HIGH SCHOOL Coach. 🤔
💯 My first game working at
@OleMissBSB
was at Stetson Univ. Prior to 1P,
@CoachMikeBianco
picked-up a lone cup lying on the floor of the dugout. Following his lead, I made it my responsibility for 7yrs to walk up/down the dugout to pick-up trash in order to keep the floor clean.

was on the road at
@StetsonBaseball
.
@CoachMikeBianco
is walking in the dugout prior to game; stops; picks-up a cup; & places it in the garbage. Simple act, but his choice made a lasting impression on me.
When you walk into a facility and notice a piece of trash on the ground do you pick it up or walk passed it? Answer varies for everyone but to me it’s a constant reminder of who has shown me what it takes to be elite on a daily basis.
