2025 non-UT WCWS thread
Kind of like Cori “Coco” Gauff 🎾, whose dad is Corey Gauff. Self-centered douchebags who wanted sons, but instead became coach dads for their daughters.

2025 NCAA Baseball Tournament
LSU 1 Little Rock 5 1 Out, Bottom of 1st L.R. runners on 1st & 2nd. LSU outfielders smashing into each other. Pretty fucking fun game so far.

Fat girl at the plate with a runner on 3rd… Yeah, I have no idea what he was thinking. (Because we definitely haven’t seen that before from TT.) 🙄

The next Beaver batter ⚾️🦫 hit the ball over the bleachers in left center field. The USC pitcher might as well have been throwing batting practice. USC 0 OSU 4 Top 4

Let’s go Oregon State! 🦫 Beavers pick up at least 1 in the Bottom 1st.

Following the rules is not embarrassing.

She might have stepped over it. Then they touched the teammates. Oh shiiiiiit! PS- If I were the commissioner, I would not require UCLA to wear white pants. PPS- She should be out and the game should be over. The announcers know that.

If I were the commissioner of NCAA softball 🥎, all teams would be required to wear WHITE PANTS. I don’t like having to squint when leering at the pitcher’s 🍑.

Johntay Cook dismissed from the football team.
There is a possibility that they weren’t used for the wide shots. In “Almost Famous” the “William Miller” character was growing so fast that they had to have the “Russell” character walk on boards at one point when they were walking outside at night in a neighborhood… I think in Kansas. Movie magic!

At the plate for Tech is a burlap sack filled with mashed potatoes. Surprised that she’s not on UCLA’s roster. Bad decision to run.

Austin Regional Thread
In soccer that would have been a straight red card and the discussion would have been how many additional games he would be suspended beyond the standard One Game suspension you get for a red card. The goals of a slide are different in baseball ⚾️ vs soccer ⚽️, but that left leg coming up and making solid contact with an opponent would be a straight red. The fact that it was in the area that it was would be the reason for additional games. And the studs on soccer shoes are relatively smooth and sometimes soft plastic. Baseball spikes are weapons as soon as they leave the dirt.

2025 Roland-Garros
“37.5%” of the matches are single country matchups, but really half* of them are. *Putinseva is Moscow born & raised and splits her time between Moscow & Boca Raton. She is less Kazakh than I am Argentine, by a fucking long shot. I pull for both Kenin & Keys, so the match will be bittersweet.

Texas Recruiting Notes 2025: Duck Around and Find Out
I may have picked up the passport, but I know hypocrisy when I see it. Call it “The Falklands” unless I’m in the wrong company and then I just don’t mention it. 🇦🇷😅🇬🇧

I wanted Ostapenko to win, because she is undefeated vs Iga, but if Rybakina beats Iga, I will be okay with that.

Texas Recruiting Notes 2025: Duck Around and Find Out
I had about a 3 hour layover when changing trains in Gstaad, Switzerland back in ‘97, so I went into a shop and picked out a blue Swiss Army knife, because I had heard in my hostel in Madrid or Geneva that you could only get their classic utility knife in blue if you bought it in Switzerland. Picked out my knife and asked fire an engraving. (Maybe “Summer ‘97” or something like that.) I picked up the knife an hour later before heading to the train station and saw the engraving on the knife… then noticed on the receipt that I had patronized a shop named “Fuhrer Tobacco” (or something with “Fuhrer” in the name) and I believe that the shop name may have even been imprinted on one side of the blade. I mean…. Heil! It just seemed a little odd.

Johntay Cook dismissed from the football team.
Went to a high school graduation last night and bumped into a girl that I’ve probably known since we were in kindergarten (she’s now a mostly gray-haired mom to at least one high school graduate). Her son graduated 👨🎓 and is going to Syracuse in the fall to study journalism (sports broadcasting?), so this hits close to home.

2026 World Cup in North America: Step 1 - the host cities
Not girding shit and won’t go to a single match. I’m much more likely to go to a match in Spain/ Portugal/ Morocco in 2030 than Jerry World in 2026. I’m more like to catch a 2025 Women’s Eutos in Switzerland in 5 to 7 weeks than I am to go to a 2026 FIFA World Cup match. 🤷♂️

2025 Roland-Garros
TCU vs TCU in Men’s round 3 “The manner in which he quietened* the pro-Wawrinka crowd in an efficient victory stood him in good stead for facing Humbert. The Roland Garros crowds can be boisterous but Fearnley, whose background in the trash-talking US college game helps ensure he does not get fazed, sapped some of the energy from the home fans in a confident start.” https://www.bbc.com/sport/tennis/articles/c87jl5y1qydo.amp Good to see our classless street tennis 🎾 is getting its proper respect from the British press. 👏👏👏 *in the USA we use “quieted”, not “quietened”… that’s the first time I have seen that spelling. It may be an error.

1) De Niro is old & short. 2) The platform shoes are obviously so that he could be taller than his costar in wide shots.

2025 Roland-Garros
Katie has a pretty good drop shot and a good forehand, but her serve isn’t great (plus too many double faults) and once Katie had to return a hard shot to her backhand side she was fucked. Also, Katie may have been a smidgen taller than Maddie. I did not realize that.
