maybe. Possibly. But realistically I’m not going to get my hopes up . in general baseball hires don’t break the internet like football and basketball hires, and guys at top programs are not moving. Usually your top programs get who they want and your mid tier gets a position coach on a great team or a JUCO guy. I tend to see us hiring another Bo and Gas tbh.
it was ironically the anniversary of his date with Destiny as the shortest tenured alabama head coach yesterday
As a compulsive gambler in recovery (tomorrow ironically is the 20th anniversary of my last bet), I’ve spent a lot of time in GA meetings through the years. And many would be surprised at the number of those in and around athletic programs and “the games” with significant gambling issues.
purely a guess, but the fact that he was contacting a high school coach. I'm doubting he thought much of it, these calls could be recruiting calls or whatever else.
I had an ex-athlete explain to me that gambling was the only way to get the adrenalin high that you got on the playing field. Which explains why so many ex-athletes have these gambling issues.
Congratulations on your recovery, CB. My father had that disease, though in the 50s and 60s, it was viewed simply as bad behavior. Cost him dearly on a bunch of fronts, and the domino effect led to his death in the early 1970s at age 44.
I appreciate the kind words. The biggest thing with almost all addictions is acceptance. Until I fully accepted my gambling problem and accepted the fact I was out of control and destroying my entire world, I couldn’t begin the process of “fixing myself”. It was that rock bottom moment where you realize you “clean up or you get locked up or covered up”. I was fortunate. My wife and best friend of almost 40 years stood by me. Why? I have no earthly idea. She deserved so much better. But she helped me learn that it is okay to say “yeah I’m different from other people”. I often tell my story at treatment centers and rehabs. I start off telling them “Guess what? You’re the “same kind of different as me”.
Padre, I’ll say this: when I was in the throes of gambling, the “high” I experienced when I won was one of pure “euphoria”. It was like a huge injection of adrenaline right into my frontal cortex.
On their own sport, yes. On their own teams, no. (Ie: high football school coach betting on college football game, college basketball coach betting on NBA, etc). Never heard anyone admit to betting on a game where they could influence the outcome. The same was true of those that work in an around sports as umpire, officials, or referees.
If he gets them to Omaha, then yes. I feel sorry for the players that played for that POC through the years. (Bohannon).
i would say a regional final would probably form Bryne’s hand.
