I would greatly appreciate any information about their baseball program, academics, and the town of Troy. Thanks in advance.

nice little university. dynamite ballpark. somewhat isolated. very rural region. bobby bowden runs his quarterback camp there every summer. some good restaurants. lots of wide open spaces.
thanks for the info. it is much appreciated. anybody else have any comments?
Easy 50 minutes to Montgomery. 1 1/2 hours to Auburn. Short run to Beaches. Good city. Good baseball programs. You will see a lot of deer on the drive at night too!
May I ask why beaches always come into the picture---a college baseball player has NO TIME for beaches--it is baseball and academics--thats it--there is no time for play is the player is serious about it

There is always time for beaches, especially along the gulf between Gulf Shores & Destin.

Not if you are playing baseball and maintaining your academics--this where all too many kids fail-- they do not realize the time involved to play college baseball and maintain their academics.

Yeah! let's work and study, work and study, work and study. Nothing like creating a bunch of overworked and stressed out autotrons that never RELAX. I agree with ya TR -- to play the game you gotta prioritize academics and athletics at the collegiate level . . . but no BEACHES? Come on.

Spend your time at the beaches and you sit on the pines--take my word for it--

I didn't totally disagree with you. And, I agree with your most recent post -- during the season there is little time to do a lot of "outside" the program stuff. Careful though, don't put me in a box because you don't think I have an idea ("take my word for it").

BEACHES, HUNTING AND FISHING IS ALLOWED! after the season and during the holidays and whenever it can be fit in.
TR,
How would someone do their running, lifting, throwing, BP, ACADEMICS and go to the beach in the offseason? I never had an offseason in college. You have Fall practice, Spring season, and Summer League. Having to work hard in the classroom to maintain a gpa of 3.0 and playing ball took so much time that it was difficult to have a serious relationship with coeds.

see cbg's post--my guy went back to school midway between xmas and New Years just to get ready for what was ahead and that was after playing from August to November in fall practice , unofficial and official
You can beleve what you want but there is no time for beaches not to mention as cbg does, time for a serious relationship with coeds.

thanks. i'll be sure to stay away from the beaches. They've ruined many a baseball player.
I'm not sure my son's torso saw the sun in four years of college. Face, arms, and neck were burned black. White stripe where he taped one wrist. Beach would be nice if it were in the back yard otherwise you'll never see it.
TRHit, thats what makes the world go round. My son has already been invited to hunt with his coach. I can appreciate the hard work and nose to the grindstone attitude as well as the next guy. But having had 3 sons play D1 and 2 proffessionally I also know the value a girlfreind, day at the beach or weekend on a fishing boat. It is ridiculous to say that there is NO TIME for recharging batteries.There is a certain coach that used to be at Creighton who espoused your type of approach. He failed miserably and will take his current team in the same direction.Plese note that my kids didn't play for Creighton.
