  1. aggy will pull out all of the stops to keep Schloss if they win the CWS. Of course if Schloss were to bail on them in that scenario then College Station will burn. So it needs to happen.
  2. The Indiana Fever's 91-83 victory over the visiting Chicago Sky on Sunday was the WNBA's most-watched game in 23 years, CBS announced Tuesday.
  3. That describes my son - played for Round Rock last year as a freshman. It was only RRHS's third year (after dropping the sport for several years) so anyone who wanted could be on the team. That won't be the case this year. Cedar Ridge is having tryouts as well due to interest. Doesn't hurt that they have the new RRISD aquatic center on campus! McNeil is also picking up the sport this year. IIRC this is what Westwood and/or Westlake do (can't remember which) - their water polo team(s) includes a lot of their varsity baseball players.
  4. Great predictions!
  5. Clark can talk shit with the best. She just comes across as more mature than Reese who has little self control or self awareness.
  6. Angel Reese might be a bit tone deaf.
  7. USA advances out of the group....on a rainout. Weird rule.

    I think Juve just wants to get his salary off of the books.

    Well to be fair there is a big debate whether it's better to be a bench player in a better league or getting starter's minutes with another team or in another league. And to my point - more than half of these guys aren't even starters for their club teams (Turner, Musah, Reyna, Pepi, Ream - who is going to MLS, and Weah). I think our expectations are skewed because we've always had lesser talented teams that "punched above their weight" through both effort and having a massive chip on their shoulders. These guys don't seem to have it and GGG only makes things worse.

    Our form is shit but I wouldn't lump the Slovenia result in there as it was both squads' "C" teams at best. Basically a glorified scrimmage.

    Yeah no point in rooting for the team to fail. No coaching change is going to occur until after the Copa.
  13. Astros’ 2022 free-agent disasterclass now sinking 2024 season These are the signings before Mike Brown was hired - Abreu, Montero, Pressly, and Brantley. Brantley is now out of the game and the other three have been terrible.
  14. If you read between the lines from that Brennan interview with Eisen it's clear the reason she was left off the team was NOT because she wasn't good enough to be on the team. It's because the veterans didn't want a bench warmer to get all the attention they thought should be going to them.
  15. Slight disagreement - she's famous because she single-handedly rewrote the record book while in college and is already setting records as a pro. There's never been a women's basketball player like her and she's electrifying to watch when she's on her game.
  16. I was watching a video on German reunification and the term the West used to describe East German officials was "politicized incompetence" - and this has been used to describe Trump's followers in government positions. In short, it means that loyalty to the political party (or to an individual) is more important than actually being able to do the job. East Germany was littered with useless idiots whose only qualification was loyalty to the East German state. The GOP is going down the same path and it will not end well for them or for constituents who put these clowns in power.

    Feeling really good about my prediction about not getting out of our Copa group.
