Did no one tell Eric Bakich?

I have concerns about Eric Bakich.

Connecticutt's Baseball squad enunciated their claim to being a true Baseball School today with a 3-seed in the Florida/Gainesville bracket, poised no doubt to upset the over-rated Gators on their home fields. You have to tip your cap to them as well for their focus and commitment to the season, with nary a blip or distraction in their performance due to the NCAA Basketball Championship their male BBaller's backed into.

The Huskies' baseball team was 20-7 before said Championship was won on April 3rd at the direction of Coach Danny Hurley, and an amazingly consistent 23-8 afterwards; no doubt, evidencing their fervent attention to the business at hand of making it to Omaha. Well done Baseball Huskies.

Sadly, Clemson's baseball team cannot be said to have done same, and Eric Bakich needs to be held accountable. Clearly, Brad Brownell's deep run into the bowels of the 2023 NIT, being held at the same time as the NCAAT, served as unquestioned distraction to our Baseballer's; worried as they would be, no doubt, about the fate of our roundball warriors' grasp on its annual post-season hardware haul.

Notably, Clemson Baseball was only 16-14 while the Basketball season was being played out on the National Scene. But once our Littlejohn sideshow was completely eliminated until 2024, the Baseball team went on a 27-3 tear.

Many have complimented Coach Bakich on his 1st year success. But we must peel back the facade and see this season for what it really was.

Clemson is a Basketball school; always has been, always will be. This is both self-evident and non-arguable.

If Bakich's team is going to be distracted in this manner every year that Brownell's BBaller's are parading in Pickens with yet another ACCT trophy, or are cutting down nets in far off Basketball Meccas like the Caesar's Superdome in New Orleans, then Bakich needs to keep his team away from Littlejohn, off the BBall Courts at Fike, and with TV's tuned away from March Madness, Tiger-style. And I mean completely. Focus must be maintained on the Diamond, even in the perpetual shadow of Hoopster Glory.

The hardware we routinely win in Basketball shouldn't detract us from at least trying to compete for a participation trophy or two in Baseball as well, no matter how unlikely. Eric, and his team, must be better than this.

who freely get on the Internet to announce that they can't read. Do you not find this embarrassing? Indeed, I taught my daughter how to read when she was 3.5. Are you dumber than a 3-yo?

If you don't want to read, then don't. Then do what you do all the other times you don't read something - don't tell me you skipped by.

I put this out there for those people who might want to amuse themselves a bit. If that's not you, then toodles.

I don’t know this looks like a lot of nonsense that the baseball team shouldn’t even be worried about.

“Clemson is a Basketball school; always has been, always will be. This is both self-evident and non-arguable.”

You deserve satire responses for everything you said. That was a bunch of garbage that doesn’t connect at all. UCONN? What are you talking about?

and yet the team was indeed 16-14 BEFORE the Basketball


May 30, 2023, 9:29 AM

National Championship Game, and 27-3 afterwards.

That's true. That's a valid statistic. To what then do you attribute this disparity?

More/less bran in their cereal? Parting their hair on the other side? A team outing to see Taylor Swift?


And since you all are apparently housed in the same correctional facility as the Unabomber, make sure to give ol'Ted our best.

My biggest beef with Bakich is that we clearly could have gone 56-0 this season but he made the team lose some games early in the year so we could be a "comeback story" ... "mid-season turnaround". Only winning 1 of 3 against the coots was the dead giveaway.
He should be held accountable for only getting a top 4 seed instead of being unanimous #1. Its clear he is more concerned with creating a good story rather than dominating like we are clearly capable.

It was truly humanitarian of him as well to try to save the jobs of the UCF and UGA Coaches too. What a guy.
