NCAA Softball Regionals Austin Tickets - StubHub Did you check StubHub ? Alot of tickets under $5.00 for the bleachers in right field for game 1. As mentioned, people stand or sit in lawn chairs on the berm behind right field. Likely will be crowded, but you do feel the atmosphere/excitement of the game.

Not to my knowledge. There may be some tailgates with TV's that continue during the game, not sure. There are fans who also stand outside the LF fence and the berm by the RF parking lot with lawn chairs. Some cheap tickets on StubHub, at least for game 1. Are you interested in getting a ticket, or just prefer to watch from outside ?

From email If interested, call ticket office at 512-471-333 or visit texassports.com. Saturday is Senior Day, always good to attend. Note that beginning Friday, aggy and Texas St will be in town for the Softball Regional which will further complicate traffic/parking. Looking to attend a Longhorn baseball game this week?

Interesting that basketball is not mentioned. @closetojumping Any info that can be made public about the Texas baseball and softball programs ? Thanks ! LUBBOCK, TX- The Matador Club, a Texas Tech Alumni-run NIL collective, announced on Tuesday that they would be signing the entire Texas Tech baseball team to “five-figure NIL deals.” This is the third team-wide NIL deal by the Matador Club for a Red Raider program, joining the Texas Tech football and softball teams. The collective will have members of the baseball team use their name, image, and likeness to support Lubbock-based non-profit organizations. The exact amount that each Red Raider baseball player will make has not been disclosed at this time Texas Tech baseball signed to team-wide NIL deal (everythinglubbock.com)

Just a thought. You may want to consider contacting and explaining the situation to your State Representative in a private, confidential setting. Ask him to follow up and monitor with the Texas Education Agency to insure the individual will not be hired in the future in Texas and perhaps to include a national list. State Representatives from smaller communities tend to be more reactive to these situations.

https://shupirates.com/sports/softball/roster Curious about Seton Hall. Seton Hall deserves to be here. 42-16, 2nd in Big East behind UConn, beat them for tournament championship Split 2 games with Tech at Lubbock in March. 3 players from Texas (Friendswood, Missouri City, Cypress) others from Calif, Ariz, and Oregon. Coach knows how to recruit. Player front table, middle, dark hair, seems first to give 'Horns Up, then 'Horns Down. 😊 Great time of year !

Why OKC having Big 12 and SEC softball tournaments isn't impossible https://www.statesman.com/hookem/ I agree with your sentiments but the above is a headline from a paywall article in today's AAS. I can see the SEC agreeing for the tournament to be in OKC for attendance purposes similar to the SEC Baseball Tournament which is held at a minor league park in Hoover, AL. B12 may want to go to the team park rotation due to less attendance after the departure of OU and Texas. Sponsor Phillips 66 will have a say on the final outcome. Edit: That article is from the Daily Oklahoman reprinted by the AAS. Sry I don't have.

Hopefully, they can complete the series today before the rain. Round Rock - SA Reagan Westlake - SA Brandeis Bowie - SA Johnson

I notice she has gained weight, doesn't have that precise location and movement as before. Perhaps end of season fatigue. She has a super 1.77 era though.

Is there info available on the cost of EV vs ICE (gas) vehicle insurance ?

D1 Baseball Chat today. Normally paywalled, found it to be free. Good info on the entire college baseball landscape. Also mentions TCU, WVU, Tech, OKSt. Worth the entire read. Note how well the Carolina teams are doing. https://d1baseball.com/chats/d1baseball-weekly-chat-may-8/ Asked about Texas hosting. Did not mention possibility of winning conference as slight as it may be. Kendall Rogers 3:19 Texas' RPI is sitting at 25 right now. Let's say the Longhorns win that series against WVU to end the regular season and play well in Arlington, it's not out of the realm of possibility. But this is not a resume with much meat on the bone with an 8-14 record vs RPI Top 50. Long shot

The Longhorns (40-12-1, 11-7 Big 12 Conference) will play No. 7-seeded Texas Tech in the opening round at 3 p.m. A win there puts them in the tournament semifinals at 4 p.m. Friday with the tournament final at 2 p.m. Saturday. https://www.kxan.com/sports/no-5-texas-swept-by-baylor-to-end-regular-season-no-2-seed-in-big-12-tourney/

In Friday's AAS, MW stated that an opponent's offense will excel but the team has to battle back. Said he was most disappointed in scoring only 1 run. MW will always substitute offense for defense even after 1 game. Cimusz makes that play and doesn't make the error Day did on Friday. Positive: Citaly is a warrior.

@HenryJames posted in the Texas Baseball thread. https://texassports.com/news/2023/5/4/t-association-ut-athletics-announces-2023-spring-commencement-participants.aspx Constantine, Lummus, Walbridge, Brown, Carlson, Duplantier, and Morehouse all graduated or will graduate by the summer. Former players Cole Quintanilla and Cameron Rupp will as well.

Watched Alabama beat Vanderbilt tonight 11-2 behind Luke Holman (pitcher who was scratched before the LSU game). Holman is a stud, 7 inn, 4H, 7K's, 1 walk. Alabama players looked relaxed and having fun.

https://www.uiltexas.org/baseball/playoff-brackets Starts tonight. Sinton has Somerset and Calallen/Grulla (Rio Grande City) winner next week.

Article on the issue. Looking at the stats, Moza had only pitched 7 inn this year, rarely used on weekends, second worst era on the team. Friday game, bullpen was rested. Tough for the players, overall #22 rpi, postseason team at this time. Excerpt: LSU, ranked No. 1 nationally, won by a final score of 8-6. However, a possibly unusual sequence of events during the bottom of the sixth inning when the Tigers were hitting helped them secure the win. LSU, the significant betting favorite before the game, was up 4-1 going into the bottom of the sixth. According to a game recap from SECSports.com, with the bases loaded and two outs, pitcher Aidan Moza replaced Kade Woods for the Crimson Tide. Moza hit the first batter he faced with the first pitch he threw, forcing in a run. He then walked the next two batters, giving up two more runs. By the time he secured the third out, LSU had blown the game open by extending its lead to 7-1. Those three runs allowed by Moza proved crucial when the Crimson Tide’s rally in the ninth inning fell short. Alabama lost by two. “LSU scores off hit-by-pitch and two straight walks to go up 7-1. What’s happening here?” said an SEC baseball analyst in a video recap of the game. The sixth inning proved the most pivotal of the game for the Tigers, but that doesn’t necessarily mean anything nefarious happened in the inning. Moza has not been accused of any wrongdoing. Furthermore, no player on either team has been accused of wrongdoing in the game. https://www.forbes.com/betting/baseball/lsu-alabama-scandal/

Really need to play a game before the Baylor series to hopefully sweep and secure 2nd place in conference, maintain RPI, etc. Fielding .966 in conference, highest in MW era (knock on wood). Be nice to be in the .970's.

Saw this story from the Louisville paper about Van Lith. Seems it was not a surprise for her to leave to enhance her WNBA and NLI stock. Excerpts, story worth a click. @Js1 story mentions words between Mulkey and Walz after Louisville's upset of Griner and Baylor in 2013. Do you recall any details ? That’s certainly part of the reason why leaving U of L felt necessary. She’s out to redefine who she is as a player and that may be easier to achieve at LSU surrounded by a more talented lineup that should help make running the team easier. Van Lith established a relationship with LSU coach Kim Mulkey in high school. Her final two college choices came down to U of L and Baylor, where Mulkey coached at the time. Mulkey seems to embrace players with big personalities like Van Lith. That was evident in the way she didn't try to suppress star forward Angel Reese through the season. And LSU guard Flau'Jae Johnson has music aspirations that she said many coaches recruiting her tried to discourage, but not Mulkey. https://www.courier-journal.com/story/sports/college/louisville/2023/04/27/hailey-van-lith-made-right-call-leaving-louisville-basketball-for-lsu/70123331007/
