That sounds great   but   ?.....     WHy would a guy leave Mount Olive and Higher division school that contends for a National Championship and is ranked in the top 10 every year   for a smaller school... where he will prolly get payed less.. i mean if i can remember we just got our lacrosse progam back because we didnt have enough money...  and we have to take  buses  instead of charters to games.... how they going to afford a full time pitching coach.... i hope the guy is a professor or something.... not knocking my school down by no means... but   you look at both programs and where their at right now and where there going... you tell me who you would pick....... plus lancaster will be done coaching sooner then long will..... who takes over M Olive  .... he sure looks like a good pick...... when Long is done... whos the first person you think of to take over.... JONES...... not a new pitching coach......    im not saying  but im just saying

Word on the street is NCWC will have a legit pitching coach next year.  Hoooyaah!  Thank God!  It only took 2 years to find one.

WHAT!!!!!!    WHERE was this when i was there.... hahaha but thats awesome  seems to show that the hitting coach helped  or either the pitcher was down this year...  MR. C   who is the guy that is going to do it.

was not a history or english major but i do know my baseball and my conference and i know that your little osh cosh  sugar spice girls   hold nothing against the history of my school or METH....   sooo zip it  mullet man........   but sorry i hit a soft spot and called your wanta be south region power house team out.... 

GUYS...  LIKE I SAID  METH IS IN.... i dont care whos in the chair this year.....  but the USA SOUTH IS THE HOST CONF....     if you look up usa south baseball in the dictionary  it has a pic of AUSTINS  FACE AND BO LEGs....   the guys is the usa south... first coach i think of and first person i think of....... the past 100  years austin has run the south regional.....  soo who cares who is in it this year.... its his town.... his schools field..... and his getting in....  ... and  mr OSH whatever....  your osh boys  are no methodist.....  but them two on a see saw and you better give osh a prachute  cause when meth sits on the other side they would throw osh to the moon.....   so dont compare osh hosting and there chances compared to METH....   dont get me wrong  i hated losing or meth  but  i respect them.....  on the other hand...   congrads to coach long....   
and best wishes to shan and meth in regionals

GUYS,

FUSS all you want about whos over who and what is what.... trust me   METH IS GETTING IN..... its at there park and AUSTIN is the butt that is in that chair that runs the south regional.... sorry to bust your lets play this car and lets play that card to see whos getting in.... METH IS IN as the 6th best team  but mark my words theyll give them the 5 seed so SHAN and METH dont play each other in the first round....   WATCH AND SEEE

NEW TO THE BOARDS..    figured i can jump on here now since i dont play anymore.....but anyways i just wanted to say that Methodist is not that bad of a field and the town of fayetteville isnt either..... i hate fayetteville more than anyone in the world  but it really isnt that bad.... also i played highschool ball for 3 years in that area and Methodist field has come a long way.  Last year when i pitched against Methodist at their place  i enjoyed the mound and the fielding surface may not look good from first glance but the ball has no bad hops... well atleast it looked like it.    Tom Austin is the best coach in the USA South and is a 1rst class guy...  IM sure hell have that place looking nice and run the right way... i mean heck.. he should due to running the south regionals the last few years sooo no worries...  ONly thing the other teams need to worrie about is Shan and Meth....     Shan is a team that when it comes to big games they show up... TRUST ME i watched them smack us in the 2nd round of the tourny last year... and when i threw agaisnt them in the conf champ game every single out is a tuff out.  Van Sickler will be fine when he throws... and their bats will show up... no to mention they have a close argument for the best coach in the league as well... Anderson always has hes team ready espeically on the mental side of the game......    NOW Meth is at home... its there house... there field... there town..... how can you not pick them to go far...... and it helps to have that advantage... i mean my freshman year we won it at our house and there is no better feeling... it just makes you look at the field different.  But Meth is  going to make regionals  i mean the guy that runs the dang thing is the Coach of the field its played at.... you really think they want get picked....... I dont see why if it was in Fay... they didnt play it at THE SWAMP  home of the Fayetteville SwampDogs of the Coastal Plain League.  Seats around 3,000 concessions would be great and parking is very good.... I played there for 3 years and loved every minute of it.... the city and that organization would have ran a very nice tournament... maybe in the future.....   there is no field better to hold a regional in our conference other then the good ole B FIELD in Rocky Mount, but Meth the 2nd best  i agree .....  Best of luck to both teams and i ll be sitting in the stands wishing them the best
