Makes 69k a year, plays in a stadium that seats 600, and mows the ball park grass himself. The anti Schloss.
Go Racers!

And of course Schloss would mow but the sips have artificial turf.

I cannot believe Schloss isn't there with his steers…

Their field looks better than Duke's.

We have a championship grounds crew too 😉

Thanks for all that you do!#GoRacers🏇 https://t.co/sR25fc3G5V

Go Racers!

okay, the wizard of oz pattern is pretty legit.

I'm glad and sad at the same time that the "he cuts the grass" was just internet lore.

I was telling a friend I work with yesterday about how likely it is that this changes his family's life in such an insane way. Like, he could get picked up by a school and go from 69k to a million.

The @RacersBaseball out of the gate strong and off to an early lead. This thing is a marathon not a sprint though we'll see what the night brings. Next update at 10pm! #roadtoroccos #cws2025 pic.twitter.com/lvHMMkIWR2

Strong Start, Dunker.

Schloss is trying to mow a different kind of grass. IYKYK

I know for a fact that there are D1 coaches who mow their home field's grass. It is their "office" and they take a great deal of pride in how guests see their "office".

I know for a fact that there are many D1 players who spend time before and after practices and games in grooming the field on which they play.

All D1 programs don't have the luxury of a superb ground crew like TAMU is blessed to have.

Hire him as, uh, groundskeeper. is there an NCAA limit to that?

Well, now that every one of their student body has done one, where do they go from here?

He's pretty much the anti any power 4 program coach.

These west coast schools can't hang. That UCLA number is just pathetic.

Man I am missing being there

Coastal.

He won't be at Murray State long. He is going to get calls after this run!

And I hope he does. Seems like a good dude. I am 100% pulling for Murray St

So you don't have to pay a inexperienced coach $900K a year and guarantee him 4yrears? That refreshing. Good to see teams like Coastal and Murray State fighting the powers. I can get behind that.

Ouachita Baptist is in Arkansas.

they just updated, LSU is at 4k.

I'm an old fuddy dud, but if they are still accepting call in orders, the game is ruined tbh

I agree. It's no longer about who has the most loyal fans traveling to Omaha. Now it's who has the richest boosters back home....
