Chris Armas’ behavior toward Matt Pollard (Matt Pollard) during the post-match press conference was genuinely bizarre and certainly not reflective of how a professional manager should conduct himself. Unbelievably unprofessional -- and, frankly, fitting for a coach whose overall record stands at 68-27-73 despite managing clubs that tend to...

THE POLLARD AFFAIR 🇮🇱🇺🇸(1984-1985) The Pollard Affair was an espionage case involving Jonathan Jay Pollard, an American intelligence analyst who spied for Israel in the mid-1980s. Pollard, born in 1954 in Texas to a Jewish family, worked as a civilian analyst for the U.S. Navy. In 1984, he began passing classified information to Israel, motivated by a desire to aid the Jewish state, which he believed was not receiving sufficient intelligence from the U.S. despite their alliance. Pollard provided Israel with a vast amount of sensitive U.S. intelligence, including details on American signal intelligence gathering methods, military capabilities of Arab nations, and reportedly the identities of U.S. informants. The information he handed over was so extensive that it included the National Security Agency’s ten-volume manual on U.S. intelligence collection techniques. His actions were uncovered in 1985 when colleagues grew suspicious of his behavior, leading to an FBI investigation. On November 21, 1985, Pollard and his then-wife, Anne, attempted to seek asylum at the Israeli Embassy in Washington, D.C., but were turned away and arrested. In 1987, Pollard pleaded guilty to one count of conspiracy to deliver national defense information to a foreign government under a plea agreement. Pollard was sentenced to life in prison with the possibility of parole after 30 years. The severity of his sentence stemmed from the immense damage assessed by U.S. officials, who claimed the leaked information indirectly reached the Soviet Union via Israel, compromising national security during the Cold War. The affair strained U.S.-Israel relations significantly. Initially, Israel described Pollard’s actions as a rogue operation unauthorized by its government, but in 1998, it admitted to paying him and formally apologized to the U.S. Pollard spent 30 years in prison, including seven in solitary confinement, and was released on parole in November 2015. After his parole ended in 2020, he moved to Israel, where he was welcomed by then-Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and granted citizenship (which Israel had already conferred in 1995 while he was imprisoned).

Sometimes, a coach loses a game, much less a regional final, and they're ready to hit the showers, hit the road, and not talk much. It was refreshing to see Louisiana's Head Coach Matt Deggs, who'd just lost 19-5 to Mississippi State, after playing in mid 90s temps earlier in the afternoon just to get the opportunity, willing to talk about the game, his team, and even his expectations for next year. If you're fans of Mississippi State and its Head Coach Brian O' Connor, he will remind you of the same candor, plain-spoken-but-well-spoken type of coach who has both affection for his players but expectations of what he asks and demands of them. This is a coach whose team survived multiple elimination games at the Sun Belt tournament, played at all hours and even multiple locations last week, winding up in the championship game. And when offered a chance to deflect the lopsided score with the drain his team might have faced having only a short while after gutting out a win over 2-seed Cincinnati 8-6, he said his team wasn't tired, though. They just ran out of pitching. And, his analogy that "they were going to have to kill us, and they did" was a tip of the cap to his opponent, whom he deemed worthy of a long run in Omaha. Anyway, let's let Coach Deggs say that, and so much more, in his own words. Write it down now, they look like a team to watch in the Sun Belt for 2027. And, since this was the last game of the Starkville Regional, we'll remind you again the video is courtesy of NCAA Baseball and Mississippi State Baseball, with additional editing by College Baseball Central.
