Shit's Gettin' Real

[Snaggletiger]

I don't see where the full schedule has come out for the Fighting Pearls upcoming season.  However, we do know a few things that will happen, and it's shaping up to be a freaking gauntlet. 

We already know about drawing Duke at Cameron Indoor in the SEC/ACC Challenge. BTW, Duke has one player that most are saying is already the #1 player in the country, the #1 pick in the Draft, and a guy who worked out with the Olympic Team, and held his own with err'body.  Incoming Freshman, Cooper Flagg.

We also added last year's March Madness runner up, Purdue.

Well, now we've decided to go out to Houston and play the Cougars on November 9th. 

Don't forget about the Maui Invitational.  The field only contains the likes of:

Colorado

Dayton

Iowa State #7

Memphis

Michigan State

North Carolina

UConn

The match ups haven't been released yet, but suffice it to say, Bruce and the boyz will be playing some elite teams.

Brang it.

NIL needs to get up to snuff though. We're an upper SEC program now with middle of the road NIL. Bruce can't perform miracles forever.

But we will have Nike uniforms.

Add THE Ohio State University to the schedule.

I think Bruce did some off season canning (like 2023 Freeze) and is planning to splurge in the coming cycle.

The off season baseball additions could also bring that program back to a respectable level.
(currently ranked about 50th)
And yes it's mostly about pitching.
