What are some future weekend baseball series you'd like to see added?

NCwvugrad4
Talking non-conf here obviously, since it's so cold in February/March in WV and we're traveling so much early here are some teams/road trips I'd like to see us play moving forward:

Coastal Carolina - big alumni base there obviously in Myrtle and consistent top 25 type opponent would make for a great weekend, there's also a ton of small NC/VA schools to stop at on the way back to get a game in

Charleston, SC trip - you can play any combination of CofC, Citadel and Charleston Southern, all 3 of them are quality opponents (CofC being the best) located within 15 miles of each other and there's a pretty decent alumni base with the Lowcountry Chapter that would certainly be at the games

North Florida trip - we've just faced Jacksonville obviously, but hell you can make a week out of that trip if you wanted and bus to games at Stetson, UF, FSU, USF, etc... so many good opponents in that region of Florida that it seems like we should make that a yearly thing and hit more than just 1 opponent down there... these games wouldn't be as well attended as road games in the Carolinas but we do have more alums than just @Vernon roaming the FL streets

West Coast - there are too many programs to list in Cali, but basically you can either go to LA, San Francisco or San Diego and have your pick of schools to face for a weekend at each city and almost all of them are quality opponents

Georgia - between GT, UGA, GaSouthern, Kennesaw, Mercer... great baseball in this state

Thoughts??? And for the love of God if we do Charlotte again, make it UNC Charlotte and not Queens :grimace:

Duh.

Exclusive: Most Americans see Trump as "dangerous dictator," poll says


A majority of Americans say President Trump is a "dangerous dictator" who poses a threat to democracy and believe he's overstepped his authority by actions such as the mass firing of federal employees, a new survey says.
Why it matters: The wide-ranging poll released Tuesday, on Trump's 100th day in office, is the latest sign of him losing support for his immigration and economic policies — the two issues that largely fueled his election.

Zoom in: Only four in 10 Americans expressed favorable views of Trump after his first 100 days in office, according to the survey by the nonpartisan Public Religion Research Institute (PRRI).

  • And 52% agreed with the provocative statement that Trump "is a dangerous dictator whose power should be limited before he destroys American democracy," the survey said.
  • That question provided a big warning sign for Trump: Most independents (56%) agreed that Trump is a "dangerous dictator," suggesting that middle-of-the-road voters who helped put him back in office are abandoning him.
Zoom in: The survey is among those that have shown the most dissatisfaction with Trump's push for mass deportations, sweeping tariffs, more control of colleges, and firing or laying off more than 100,000 federal employees.

The big picture: The survey found that 83% of Republicans — a relatively low number for Trump — had favorable views of him and his actions, while 35% of independents and 8% of Democrats did.

  • Many respondents expressed alarm over his moves to reshape government, impose his tariffs and deport people without due process.
  • A majority of Black Americans, Latinos and Asian Americans agreed that Trump is a "dangerous dictator," compared to 45% of white Americans — a reflection of the racial divisions Trump and his actions engender in such surveys.
What they're saying: "Most Americans view Trump in dictatorial terms, and I think most Americans are concerned that American democracy is on the line," PRRI CEO Melissa Deckman tells Axios.

  • "It's only been 100 days into the Trump administration, yet we've really seen a pushback among most Americans to the Trump agenda."
The other side: 81% of Republicans surveyed said they still believe that "Trump is a strong leader who should be given the power he needs to restore America's greatness."

  • 51% of white Americans agreed.
  • Trump has attacked several polls by media outlets showing his approval ratings sinking, posting Monday on Truth Social that they were "fake" and saying the organizations behind them should be "investigated for election fraud."
State of play: Americans remain evenly divided on Trump's broad immigration goals, Deckman said, but the survey shows most people strongly disagree with unconstitutional or inhumane practices.

  • For example, most Americans (61%) disagree that the federal government should place immigrants who are in the country illegally in internment camps guarded by the U.S. military until they can be deported.
A majority of Americans also agree that "President Trump has overstepped his authority by ordering the mass firing of federal employees across multiple agencies."

  • More than seven in 10 Americans oppose closing or drastically shrinking all major federal agencies, especially if it means things like airline travel, medicine, and water may be less safe.
  • Two-thirds of Americans oppose new tariffs, or taxes, on imported goods from other countries.
  • Trump's efforts at fixing economic problems are "running into the headwind of public opinion," Deckman said.
Methodology: The American Values Survey was conducted online from Feb. 28 to March 20. The poll is based on a representative sample of 5,025 adults (age 18 and older) living in all 50 states and the District of Columbia who are part of Ipsos' Knowledge Panel®.

  • The margin of sampling error is +/- 1.69 percentage points at the 95% confidence level, for results based on the entire sample.
