  1. Exactly. Like I said earlier, look at the last few World Series teams and find all the fatasses. There aren’t any
  2. Pitchers and 1B maybe, but not catchers. I dare anyone of you fatasses to try and catch 68 MPH rise or drop balls from 43’ away. the best players are 5’8-5’10 that can move and <5’6 who are fast as shit. Big fat girls, like Whittaker are a liability. They can’t play defense and when they get a hit, your team becomes station to station. Whitaker should be at DP if she is in the line up. Look at the last 10 years worth of championship teams and tell me how many slow fat girls they had in their lineup.
  3. This is the way softball has chosen to go over the last 1/2 dozen years. Kids are recruited based on power numbers alone, and coaches tend to sacrifice defense to get the best 9 bats in the order. Mike White is the coach of a program, where he should be able to recruit great hitters, who can also play defense. OU does it, Washington does it, Alabama does it, no reason he can't do it.
  4. Mullins for Tx St has a nasty change up as well. It is fun to watch the girls that can really spin the ball pitch.
  5. Iakopo playing 1st and hitting in the two hole this game. Let’s see how she responds.
  6. We need her power, but if she is a clubhouse cancer then she can stay right where she has been for the last 3 games.
  7. No Iakopo again today. She must've really pissed the old man off.
  8. Agreed. I don’t hunk it’s a coincidence that on the same night she was benched, Burke seemed to have pulled her head out of her ass and came to play. These ladies need to understand that the social media followers and the NLI money will dry up when they are no longer in the public eye.
  9. As I mentioned earlier when the Clearwater fiasco was going down, I noticed Iakopo playing more grab ass than catch. It’s my guess that Mike is setting the expectation, regarding preparation and leadership, by benching the teams best player. We will see if this wakes her up or if she shuts it down. Her play and attitude have both been lazy thus far, and we need her to wake up and perform.
  10. Also, as was mentioned earlier, the team looked better today. Offense was going to be a big challenge today with the weather, so Mike tried to play small ball. Execution was again a glaring issue, but I agree the team had a little more pep in their step today.
  11. Jimmy is a really nice guy, solid coach, and a great recruiter. He recruited my daughter when he as at South Alabama. He left Oregon for UAB and then left there when it became apparent the school had no interest in supporting or building a softball program. He will be the head coach at a P5 school soon.
  12. IMO this is a huge part of the problem. Burke, Iakopo, and a few others are more worried about their instagrams and making appearances than they are about being leaders on this team. Go watch them play....more importantly show up early and watch the team warm up. They split up into small little cliques and play more grab ass than they do catch.
  13. I like Mike White and he didn’t suddenly forget how to coach. This is a player problem, and he will have to figure out who those problems are and deal with them. That being said, the next coach of Texas should be Kenny G, which is who I wanted the last time we had an opening.
  14. maybe “you know who at Ok St.” wasn’t the problem after all.
  15. I watched this team all day yesterday. I have been around softball for 20 years and when I say they don’t seem to be a close knit bunch, I mean it. The team traveled around the park in small pods…I have never seen that before. There is zero emotion in the dug out, which is crazy in softball. No cheering, no picking each other up, nothing.
  16. It is definitely a thing. My guess is that there is some sort of divide between the younger and older players. The super seniors seem checked out, and if true, it’s gonna be a long season.
  17. Janae Jefferson, Mary Iakopo and Lauren Burke have all been All American type players in the past and they look just as lost as the rest of them.
  18. The coaches shouldn’t have to tell them to do that.
  19. When this team gets back to Austin, he needs to run conditioning drills until they can’t run anymore. They will either come together, or they will kill one another. Either is an improvement.
  20. Well, losing kinda sucks.
  21. This team is just not very good right now. They don’t play D, hit, or pitch at a level that can win championships. Add to those short comings with the inability to do the small things like sac bunt and run bases and this is what you get. It embarrassing at this level, with the resources this program has. My daughter was a D1 power hitting catcher with below average speed….but she could lay down a fucking bunt when the game called for it. Very frustrated watching this tam right now.
  22. Watched this game, just prior to the Horns shitshow Vs FSU. Ok State is legit. I will try and post more pics when I get home tonight, but right now I am heading out for a steak and several beers.Texas has got to find a way to play defense, or we will finish middle of the pack in the Big XII
