Eagle Droppings

So tonight was my fraternities Island Party. Its a free concert we put on for the USM community and city of Hattiesburg, as our way of giving back and to help get our name out there a little. Many generous donations made this years event possible. We were delayed starting 45 minutes as the stage and equipment was covered to let the rain pass. That didn’t stop us after the delay we rocked out until 10:45. We hopefully allowed many people to know what BYX is all about. Good to see some USM alumni stop by and take in the music and food. Tomorrow is the Spring Game. I haven’t been this excited since I don’t know when. I can’t wait. We are doing Tri-Delta Triple Play in the morning before all meeting up and going to the spring game. We are bringing out all our guys for spring game. This is going to be one of the best game days ever. I can’t wait to hear the stadium roaring from people. Also baseball is this weekend. I LOVE baseball. I love the game. The smell of fresh cut grass. The crack of the bat. The thickness in the air on a hot game day. It’s probably my favorite game day experience. On a side note, I ask that everyone keep Corey Stephens in their prayers. He hit the fence hard tonight. He is a very promising player and needs prayers.

Okay the Rice Vs USM game was possibly the best pitched game I have seen in a long time. It was good to see that Sutt finally broke out of his funk and got the game winning homerun. I hope the Eagles have continued success on this road trip. I also attended Dr. Saunders inauguration yesterday. This was an amazing time. I met the Governer as well as the Lieutenant Governer. It was good to see Bishop Ward from the Mississippi Conference of the UMC. All in all it was an awesome day.

So after going to the baseball game I learned something. While Coach Palmer has attained 900 wins as a coach, he seemed no more concerned about it than yesterday. While this is a milestone achievement for any coach, it is nice to see that Coach Palmer places no more significance on that game than the game after. UCF came back with a vengeance. USM thought after they completely dominated the first game that UCF would roll over and die but they didn’t. One other thing that perplexes me. If we had such a successful game on friday, why would we mess with the roster going into saturday? I guess thats why i’m not a coach.

So as I sit here relaxing after enjoying a good baseball game, my thoughts wander. The baseball team seems to show some improvement from last year. While today’s game was a nailbiter, lets not forget that Lipscomb has actually beat some pretty good baseball teams 2 out of 3 last year. I think this weekend showed what the team is capable of. Each day the team won a different way. Friday they came out, tacked on some runs, and left it for the defense and pitching. Saturday they struggled offensively held defensively until the offense came around and won.Then finally today they just fought for everything they had. They decided not to be happy taking 2 out of 3 but wanted the whole sweep instead. Yes my friends baseball is in the air and once again it’s a great day to be a Golden Eagle.
