    I can confirm I am the third who knows. And, yes, I'll bet nobody gets it until it is announced and everyone should be both surprised and very pleased. Until then, nothing gets past my lips.

    So you’re doing the same thing you complain about Herb doing, sitting on info? Lol

    You guys should start a podcast. That’s pretty much how they all operate. “ I know something you don’t, but I can’t tell you what. Just know that I know.”

    Herb might not know...just a guess. When I am provided with inside information and specifically told not to share it, that's what I do. That's not the same thing as a program that operates in almost total secrecy on issues that should be public knowledge to the benefit of its fans. This will be public knowledge at some point. When is not my call. I abide by the trust provided to me.

    I don’t really care. I’ll know when I know, and me knowing won’t change anything. I just think it’s funny how y’all all cry about the lack of info, then you won’t share when you find out something others may want to know. I find it even funnier that none of you could resist making sure everyone else knows that you know and they don’t. :emoji_laughing::emoji_laughing::emoji_laughing::emoji_laughing::emoji_laughing:

    You have me beat there. I travel 785 miles from Virginia. When I retire, definitely going to get property in Florida!

    This was my best season ever -- although I think my Covid year standing on a chair in the outfield beyond the right field fence may be up there.

    #Home games 32 of 32
    #USF tournament 5 games
    #@JU
    #@UNF 2 games
    #@FGCU
    #@Mississippi State 3 games
    #@Stetson
    #@FSU
    Total this season 46 games

    Your 48 games beats me again! WCWS put you over the top. Someday I will go there, but I didn't have enough faith this year to bake it into the schedule.

    And I'm impressed you went to the Bama series. Just for the heck of it, I stopped off at Rhodes Stadium on the drive back from Mississippi State just to see it. Would love to attend a game there.

    My hat's off to your back-to-back most games attended win. Don't count on a three-peat -- I'm gunning for you next season! I'm trying to get CTW to name me graduate assistant so I can get to all the games.

    Whatever. I said nothing for almost a week until others were, correctly, having some fun with the up to this point futile guesses. I have no input with when the administration will announce it. We could have some fun with this and have anyone and everyone put forth their wildest guesses and we will see if in the end anyone was correct. This, by the way, is for a volunteer coaching position. It isn't the end of the world as we know it.

    Rick and the others don't say who it is as I asked them not to as CTW asked me not to spread it until all was in place. I found out by"accident" and by then I had told my group about it. That is why I asked them to keep it among ourselves as CTW asked us to do so. I hope you understand this as I do not wish to break a promise I made to him.
