  1. What's his pitch count so far? Can he pitch game 3?
  2. That's probably the most succinct way to summarize the "subjective" perspective. I don't necessarily disagree.
  3. No, that's not logical. If you want to bring conference winning % into the discussion, you must include strength of conference. You aren't. You are just so damned determined to be rid of RT (as am I) that you are tilting your arguments in favor of anything that might keep Texas out regardless of what the competing bubble teams did.
  4. Damn that was a helluva pitching job in relief.
  5. Alright, keep the score updates coming at least until the actual SEC Network gets off women's softball.
  6. I have SECN and (most) games I can watch on ESPN+. Not this one.
  7. Did that. No worky. It literally tells me "This Event Has Not Started Yet". Logged out, logged in, browsed to Baseball, selected "see all", clickd on the UT/MSU game. Nothing. ESPN+ can get fucked. It is this flaky for a whole bunch of subscribers.
  8. Jesus I hate ESPN+ No feed.
  9. Let me counter my own point regarding Q1/Q2/Q3/Q4 records: If NET ranking is the primary indicator of a team's worth, then UNC should be in ahead of Texas (36 vs 39). The NCAA hasn't said that NET is that metric, though. They do tout quadrant performance, and in THAT world we have it all over UNC. The problem with UNC is that they have a better record against a weaker schedule. So be it. EDIT: for clarity, UNC played 5 more games against Q3/Q4 opponents, AND THEY EVEN LOST ONE OF THEM. We lost none of our Q3/Q4 games, and it's a pretty fair assumption that we wouldn't have lost any of another 5. What would Texas' record look like with 5 fewer Q1/Q2 games and 5 more more Q3/Q4 games? A whole lot better, likely 24-10 or some such. BUT, we can't make that swap, because the SEC is way tougher than the ACC so we get fucked if "noncon" matters. Gah. It's so simple but some of you don't seem to understand the logic.
  10. Who gives a fuck? UNC was 1-12 against Q1 teams. We were 7-10. Does that not tell you something? Gah this argument is insane. I don't give a damn if we get in but stop splitting a total body of work into conference and non-conference, it's stupid and illogical and oh so Texas.

    Christ. That's what got my dad. Uhhh . . .
  12. If anyone goes "mushroom" and "hot pocket" I'm gonna lose it.
  13. Tre Johnson getting us in would be just as dumb as good wins + bad losses being ignored to leave us out.
  14. Thank God they didn't use any other first letters, it would have been even worse.
  15. Yeah, so? That doesn't mean one must possess the "protective" characteristic (much less the capability of "great violence") to be peaceful. It was a dumb statement, it is fundamentally wrong, and Elon is a twat who must likely lacks the very trait he imagines himself possessing.
  16. Totally irrelevant. Our total SOS is all that should matter. Looking at noncon SOS in a vacuum is stupid.
  17. Every team, and especially every bubble team, had chances to win games and didn't. It's ridiculous to establish a standard (Q1/Q2 wins, for instance) and then ignore it. That wouldn't be our fault.
  18. Well, you should. It's a false premise. A person who is incapable of violence of any sort is by definition "peaceful". This would include some of those who are incapable of "great violence". It's also just pandering.
  19. Oh for fuck's sake, sue me because your day-of-week comment was about a slightly different topic in a thread you wholly slorch'd because you don't understand how 5/5 wildfire risk could be "historic". God you are a fucking beating. Go deliver some pizzas.
  20. Texas fans are historically prone to view the sky as falling, news at 11. I don't know if we'll get in, but I do know if Q1 record is paramount we should be in. Then again, I don't give a shit. I'll watch any remaining games and "root" for Texas but mostly I just want to move on from RT.
  21. It was related to the NWS 5/5 wildfire risk, "boy".
  22. Ah, the Mississippi forcefield. Austinites are familiar with the concept.
  23. Mental illness is real.
