Can you give us an early starting lineup ? Good move to add these OF's. I count 21 on the roster with only 2 freshmen (Quiroga and Holmes) listed as OF's. Utility players like Burke and Popelka have played OF and also other position players. I am going to miss Kaitlyn Washington. Fan of her approach at the plate. Had some defensive miscues at the end of the season, but an overall solid player.

True, but Scott Bryant, Kieschnick (2 time winner) and Jungmann won the Dick Howser Trophy which along with the Golden Spikes Award (no winners) are considered by most to be the most prestigious. Regardless, and the Howser winners would agree, the only thing that really matters is Omaha.

Great story as the other stories you related about your great Dad ! You told them in a way we felt we knew him. Thanks for sharing ! Thoughts and prayers !

Sark addresses Patterson at approx 17:16. At about 17:44 he states "we have not made the determination we want him here.." which could cause concern by Patterson.

Excerpts from the Texas Monthly article. Mueller’s final business venture was at the Granary in Jarrell, which is still operating under the watchful eye of longtime, on-again-off-again Mueller employee Jeff Ancira. Ancira took the reins after Mueller was hospitalized earlier this year. Mueller spent weeks in the hospital, and the family let me know that they were preparing for the end. Then he recovered. For one last time, John Mueller was back. Tracy and Tim Hutchins gave him a job at their Hutchins BBQ restaurant in Frisco, and Mueller was building fires once again. “He was in a happy spot,” Tim Hutchins says. https://www.texasmonthly.com/bbq/john-mueller-barbecue-legend-dies-at-52/ Twitter from Texas Monthly article. Active until 11 Dec. https://twitter.com/JSM_meat RIP, John !

38-21 final. Props to LBJ for continuing to battle. Would have been easy to fold.

Check the above links which I have bookmarked. I did read you can revert to Win 10 within a certain time frame. May want to google.

Helps the RPI to play road games if formula is still the same. @Huckleberry may have thoughts. Don't follow closely, not sure below is current. (Note the first conference series is @Tech. Always nice to start with a home conference series.) 1. Division I winning percentage (25%)2. Opponent's Division I winning percentage (50%)3. Opponents' opponents' Division I winning percentage (25%)The new formula will value each home win as 0.7 and each road victory as 1.3, a change from the customary 1.0 of the past. Conversely, each home loss will be weighted as 1.3, and each road loss will count 0.7 against a team's RPI.Neutral site games will continue to be weighted the same value of 1.0. https://www.abca.org/magazine/2013-1-Winter/Ground_Rules_Understanding_the_new_RPI.aspx

Congrats to Coach Traylor and UTSA ! Saw below photos. Texas lives rent-free in the minds of college football fans.

Do you have any info on the Connor Robertson injury ?

Brandon Belt will be back with the Giants in 2022. Belt, the first baseman and holdover from Giants championship teams, accepted the club’s $18.4 million qualifying offer to return next season, according to the MLB players’ association. Belt is now the Giants’ longest-tenured player, after Posey’s exit, and a popular figure. The decision does not rule out the Giants and Belt discussing a longer deal. https://www.sfchronicle.com/sports/giants/article/Giants-Brandon-Belt-accepts-qualifying-offer-16629862.php

Below story is from the LA Times on how Sarkisian shut out everyone from his past in Calif, most notably John Featherstone who persuaded him to start playing football at El Camino JC. Featherstone recently passed away and never heard from Sarkisian. Perhaps this conduct is normal for people who have overcame alcoholism in a need to block the past, don't know. But it supports your opinion. Marsden should know he is not alone. On Sarkisian’s breakneck journey back to the top at Texas, he shut out other key people from his past, including his coach and mentor at Torrance’s El Camino College, the now-deceased John Featherstone, and El Camino offensive coordinator, Gene Engle. These men were important enough to Sarkisian that he invited them to a USC spring practice in 2015 as an acknowledgment of the role they played in his development. Later that fall, Feather and Engle called to tell him that they were praying for him, they loved him and would support him through anything. Like Marsden, they never heard from Sarkisian again. “Other than God, who really knows what’s in the heart of a man?” Engle says. “So I can’t speak to what’s inside Steve. Both Feather and I were really hurt. It bothers me a lot.” https://www.latimes.com/sports/usc/story/2021-09-02/to-recover-from-usc-fall-texas-coach-steve-sarkisian-shut-out-those-who-built-him

Do recruits sit in the end zone ? Thought they would sit with their parents (if accompanied) near the parent section close to midfield (or used to be) ? But as someone previously mentioned, it was Student Parents Weekend so perhaps a change.

Lake will fit right in. Note the 4th qtr.

double post

Addendum, Tech leading Iowa St 21-7, 4 min till halftime.

Since you are talking about your fam, for those that did not see, post that story about you and your Dad going to Clark field. I can't remember exact details but you met Gus and someone else ? Cool story.

Car rental companies are making a fortune and we are the victims. Not sure they want this vehicle/chip shortage to end. (excerpts) The return of leisure and business travel this year as more customers were vaccinated for Covid-19 have helped Avis Budget rebound from a dismal 2020. Shares rose about 6% in after hours trading Monday. Hertz has made a lot of headlines lately thanks to its deals with Tesla and Uber. Wall Street has noticed, too. But rival rental car company Avis Budget is doing even better. Hertz stock, which currently is listed on Nasdaq's bulletin board and hopes to return to the regular Nasdaq through an initial public offering, is up almost 30% since the company emerged from bankruptcy earlier this year and began trading again in July. Still, that's nothing compared to its rival's stock. Shares of Avis Budget (CAR) have surged more than 110% since July and are up almost 380% so far in 2021. The company reported its third quarter results after the closing bell Monday. Needless to say, expectations were high — and Avis Budget surpassed them. https://www.cnn.com/2021/11/01/investing/avis-budget-earnings-stock/index.html

Your brother makes valid points. Seems Sark may have lost this team. Maybe too enamored with play calling. During the Baylor game, it was interesting that Coleman put his arm around Casey and talked to him for a few minutes. Possibly about a route combination or other. Or to give him confidence. Not saying Sark does not also do that, but Casey has lost his confidence. The team shows very little emotion on the sideline. Not sure they watch the game.

No apology needed. Calzada has excellent coaches though difficult for us to admit.

BO&W is correct about Danny Davis, AAS. During a podcast after Herman was fired, Davis stated one reason was because "he had the audacity to support" the BLM protests by the players. "Audacity" stated in a sarcastic tone. Many coaches did the same.

Per McClennan. Would think it may be shorter due to postgame activities and LHN, but this is what they say.

Thanks ! No need, relax and have a good time. LHN is advertising the game will be televised though it is not on TV schedule. 1PM, iirc.

Thanks for the post ! How did the catchers look ? Who caught besides Silas ? Do you recall if the transfers Schuessler (aggy) or Hoffart (Blinn) played ? And Melendez and whoever at 1B ? Sorry for the interrogation. I should have went. Will make it up to you with best buy coupons and rep. 🙂 https://twitter.com/TexasBaseball?ref_src=twsrc^google|twcamp^serp|twgr^author Nice photos on twitter. Needs to be a writeup on TexasSports - softball always has one. Per staff listing, Heather Vacek has been appointed Director of Operations replacing Drew. She was previously an assistant within the Athletic Dept.

I like Gundy, have a good friend in Midwest City who is friends with the Gundy family. Did not intently watch the Iowa St game, but it seemed they stopped running the ball in the 4th qtr ? Was Warren injured ?
