  1. Not sure why they switched to this home-and-home format on B2B days with Texas State. Been that way for I think 3 or 4 years now. Under Augie, Texas State would always play in Austin twice and then we would play in San Marcos once, but all 3 matchups were spread out throughout the season.
  2. The fact they are resuming at 6 and keeping the second game at 7 means you probably can't just have your game 2 starter finish game 1 because he could end up sitting in the dugout for 50 minutes between games. We are lucky we got 8 innings in last night. Imagine if the storm rolled through after 3 innings and we had to play 15 innings today with a conference game in 48 hours.
  3. It was mentioned on IT that the staff is trying to line up some of the big portal visitors with the Spring Game next weekend
  4. I’m sure that is what we do. Start Hurley or Tumis in game 2.
  5. Shouldn’t be this nervous about getting 3 more outs but I’ll hold my breath for the next 21 hours.
  6. His fastball doesn’t move. Straight as an arrow. Part of the reason MLB teams weren’t as high on him as we might have been. He’s 100% a reliever at the next level.
  7. Everything wrong with LBJ is that AB. Gets ahead 0-2 then can’t spot his fastball away, bounces two sliders and has to groove one 3-2.
  8. Getting 4 innings from your first starter when you are playing back to back midweek games is pretty big.
  9. I sure hope Schuessler was hurt last weekend
  10. Give us that shutdown inning with the starter throwing 85!
  11. Would be 5 different high schools and 3 different colleges for Alexander since 2018 if he leaves again. That is honestly impressive.
  12. You must have misinterpreted the scenario stated in the OP. We hire Dan Hurley fresh off his 2018 season at Rhode Island. His first 4 seasons at Texas include two missed tournament appearances and zero wins. We are now sitting in the offseason of 2022. Yes or no, are you pissed and calling for his head?
  13. The OP said the first 4 years for Hurley at Uconn included two missed tournaments and zero wins, and the question was asked would that be allowed at a place like Texas? You said sure because there is "proof in the concept"? What would be the proof in the concept you are referring to after his 4th year at UConn?
  14. Are you saying you wouldn't have done one of your patented Wikipedia record screenshots if this is how the first 4 years looked for a coach? The path that Hurley took is definitely not the norm.
  15. Texas State's best hitter (guy who led off the game in Houston with a home run against us) has been out for several weeks with an injury but is supposed to be back soon. Wonder if that might be tonight or tomorrow. These 18 innings in 48 hours are going to be an adventure without Fontenot and our weekend starters. Going to need some length out of Lummus and probably need someone like Hurley or Cody Howard to give us 3-4 innings at some point as well.
  16. I do remember saying that. I thought that was the last straw. Had a few garbage time carries against Baylor and Kansas after that before registering 0 touches against OU and Houston. Got 2 carries for 11 yards against K-State after Brooks’ own turnover problems then registered another 0 touch game against TCU with Baxter getting every carry after Brooks went down. Savion Red was seeing the field more at this point, granted it was mostly in a specialized package. If Brooks doesn’t go down with 2 games left we are definitely having a different conversation about Blue. But credit to him for taking advantage of the opportunity.
  17. Was thinking the game tomorrow will probably get canceled for weather but then I remembered it is in San Marcos. It is pretty much their only sell out of the year and I’m sure need that gate revenue/concessions/parking/whatever. They would want to play in a hurricane.
