  1. Riojas needs to be a bridge guy, not a finish-the-game guy. It's unfortunate he's had 2 rough innings around 5 other innings so far where he has been pretty much dominant.
  2. Yeah, Mendoza should have been waved home. Nolan Cain is an awesome coach and recruiter, but A&M fans used to complain about him coaching third all the time. A portion of that fanbase blames him for Montgomery breaking his leg in the super regional.
  3. Solid situational baseball today from the offense, even if the hits aren't coming.
  4. Riojas is 2025 Gage Boehm
  5. Sucks when the stat-padding series comes when it's 35 degrees with the wind blowing straight in.
  6. Considering his previous title was pass game coordinator/secondary coach, I guess the promotion is he now gets to coach safeties? lol
  7. Struggling to understand OU and UTA postponing a game due to weather that was going be played….at Globe Life. Was there ice or snow in Oklahoma preventing them coming down?
  8. IIRC, Neal Brown called plays his last few years at WVU so Scott being OC was like Kyle Flood being our OC. Of course, it's an out-of-left-field hire, so I won't pretend to know much about the guy, but I'll take it as a positive sign he was retained on a new staff, and he was the interim coach in their bowl game after Brown got fired, so my guess is the players liked him.
  9. 247 (FCB) said this is a name to know. If I remember correctly, Gerry likes this guy and said it was a good hire when Jimbo hired him away from Kiffin a few years ago. https://gamecocksonline.com/sports/football/roster/coach/marquel-blackwell/
  10. Game canceled. Already protecting our RPI. We are SEC ready /s
  11. Houston plays in Round Rock tomorrow and this weekend so it wouldn't be like they came all this way for nothing.
  12. I love baseball but it wouldn't break my heart to see this game rescheduled.
  13. Old friend Woody Williams is the pitching coach at Houston this year after being in an off-field support role last year.
  14. Jason Flores starting for Texas
  15. Getting drafted is now the second most famous thing he has done in his life https://abc13.com/owen-woodward-weatherford-texas-college-baseball-josh-phillips-juco-pitcher-tackles-batter/11779741/
  16. EJ Barthel just got extended at Nebraska, per their On3 site. Salary jump to $450k. Edit: See above
  17. In regards to this weekend, Schloss yesterday made it sound like he did not want to play Friday (temps not getting out of the 30s) and is working with Dartmouth to try to find a way to play maybe 1 on Saturday and two on Sunday (best weather day of the week, high of 67 no rain). Dartmouth is scheduled to fly out around 6 on Sunday night so it could be tricky.
  18. Brutal forecast tonight. Chance of rain pretty much all the way up to the first pitch, with temperatures dropping into the 40s and maybe into the 30s by the time the game ends. Winds up to 20 MPH blowing straight in.
  19. He did something similar at A&M if I remember
  20. Schloss pointed out in an interview today on Orangebloods that Bing was throwing harder in warmups than at any point during the preseason. His first pitch of the game was clocked at 94 and was a HBP. Said it was super out of character and he’ll be back out there soon.
  21. Bobby followed up with a comment that Curtis Luper is another name to watch. Sounds like they think Luper, McKenzie and Barthel from Nebraska might be the three finalists.
  22. New name to know for the RB coach search, per OTF https://ramblinwreck.com/coach/norval-mckenzie/
  23. Baseball does quad systems too.
  24. The OSU win will definitely be Quad 1 at the end of the year and I’m pretty sure Ole Miss will be too considering even the bad SEC teams have respectable RPI’s and this was a neutral site win. Never too early to start paying attention to that stuff.
