Welcome in another edition of the podcast, Chase Farm today, Fullersmith,

Romish Rebel, coach, player now at Charlton State there in Texas, the winners of the

whack this year, Fuller. We've been chatting, getting reacquainted a little bit. Good to hear

from you, and you're coming off a conference title this past weekend. Got to be feeling pretty

good. Yeah, it was awesome. You know, our guys that competed. We had, you know, we had some ups and downs. We actually, you know,

won a lot of games this year in conference, one more than they ever have. And then, you know, we kind of had a lull towards the back half of the year. And I told you, I told the boys, man, It takes four or five games and you get hot in one week and you can do it.

And they did it.

You know, we had a lot of seniors that wanted to go out, you know, on top.

And, you know, they. And they did it. You know, we had a lot of

seniors that wanted to go out, you know, on top and they just kind of refused to quit and they had a lot of belief, you know, a lot like the guys that I played with and coached with when I was at Ole Miss. And we just figured out a way to win it. It was a lot of fun, though. I could have never imagined it ending that way in the first year, but, you know, it's the same token. They,

I mean, toward the end of the regular season, I think you lost 9 of 11 there at one point directly into the conference tournament.

And for anybody not aware of Taltin, still in a Division I transition situation,

not eligible for the NCAA tournament,

when you have that type of negative run there late, losing like that,

and the conference tournament's getting there,

how did your guys sort of handle that?

Like, I mean, how did they stay with it?

Because, I mean, you know, you've got the conference tournament and there's a carrot. But what's sort of the day-to-day mindset that allowed you guys to sort of stay in it and not give in right there? Well, I just, you know, I think the biggest thing is we talked about, hey, you've already done a lot of things that have never been done before.

You know, you know, I think the biggest thing is we talked about, hey, you've already done a lot of things that have never been done before.

You know, you won more conference games than you ever have. We won 30 games that had never been done here in Division I era.

And you're in the conference tournament, which has never been done. You know, you have the opportunity to finish no matter how we're doing now.

And we were out of gas. Like our pitching staff,
