  1. The game that never was, that saved Shaka’s job. Tceh would’ve buried us. Amazing
  2. Just back home after the game. I love the infield (Williams’ bat is missed), outfielders are reliable at the plate. The ACU pitchers really feared Powell (3 walks). I’m also concerned about failure to throw strikes, no excuse vs ACU. This doesn’t bode well vs Big-12 sluggers. what to expect 1st series in Norman, no idea.
  3. I’m in Austin for the ACU game tonight, looking forward to seeing my first Texas game of the year. I can help with updates, if needed.
  4. I would like to believe this, but Texas’ great defense was present all night, and held the goons in the low 50’s. We knew when shaka arrived, Defense was his forte. Imo, still not as good as Barnes’ defenses, but not bad, either. What Texas did in lubbutt previous was also partly coaching, partly players execution of same... in-your-face, mind-numbing, talk-to-yourself inducing, defense. I will give shaka credit for that much.
  5. Pierce has used 18 pitchers this year. Elder, Madden & Cobb are our weekend starters. Pete Hansen has shown his quality. Kubichek will get innings in midweek games. Stevens, Duplantier, Diaz, & Merryman will get regular work in the ‘pen. Quintanilla & Fields are enigmas. Who knows with the other 7. That’s what these games are for. But if a guy can’t throw strikes, he ought to have eliminated himself from consideration by the time we get to Big 12 schedule.
  6. To win a Big 12 road game, with 7 scholarship players for half the game, is simply amazing. Credit to shaka and the players. Cunningham must be covered in bruises today. What a great game he had, every loose ball & rebound, he was there. Yes, I know we will bomb from here on, hopefully we can beat Okie State. I will let others worry about Shaka’s future. I will take the 5-game winning streak.
  7. This is the kind of weekend Pierce sorts out all those pitchers he has on the roster. By my count, he’s used 17 so far. By the time we get to Big-12 play, barring injury, he probably has 9 or 10 he uses on weekends. It’s about what we should have expected.
  8. I didn’t want that inning to ever end.
  9. Thanks, nice post. shaka will foul things up eventually; the players were simply hitting shots and supercharged emotionally today. Also, first time in a while I remember Texas winning the boards.
  10. “Shocka smart is on the verge of one of his biggest wins...”lol that says it all. But I will take it. I hate those twerps.
  11. Beard must teach his guys to flop. Another one... no call by the ref, thankfully
  12. Our makeshift bunch are holding up well vs. national runners-up. No doubt Beard’s coaching acumen well exceeds Shaka’s, & their talent on the floor, as well.
  13. Free food & beverage; free mortgage; free utilities; free Ford’s; free ‘52 Mantle’s & ‘68 Ryan’s; etc
  14. Exactly. Going through a 38-game season with no defeats is not realistic (yes, I have a healthy respect for what arsenal did, but we won’t have near that many ties). I love what this team has accomplished, and I think it will stand for a long time. A lesser record I would love to see LFC pass is Reading’s 106 EFL points from 15 years ago. Getting back to Watford; I could see them being the cockroach. Pearson has helped them, & he knows the value of this game. Vicarage Rd will be packed & rocking Saturday.
  15. Looking at Watford...the loss of Henderson really appeared crucial early on vs. WHU. I think Watford will give us a battle. I would love to see LFC go undefeated; sadly, I don’t think it will happen, & I see a tie somewhere as well. All but clinching the title so early contributes to that. But 35-2-1 would be incredible.
  16. Solid win, without Sims, I didn’t think they could do it. But Ramey & AJ were great.
  17. These young Horns are exciting to watch (Faltine, Stehly, Hodo, Williams, etc) It oughta be a fun season
  18. 70-59, but it sure wasn’t pretty towards the end.
  19. CBS needs to cut away from this, I def wouldn’t be offended m...
