    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.

    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.

    I thought it was pretty lame he threw 7 pitches that included a walk and HBP. Gonna guess if he was shown the door it likely wasn’t his first strike (pun intended). He was on his 3rd school in 3 years.

    Grant Fontenot is now a free agent. Had a huge blowup after his poor outing on Saturday and started screaming at one of the coaches (not Pierce).

    9 teams in the country rank in the top 50 nationally in ERA, Batting Average and Slugging Percentage and we are one of them. 7 of the 9 are ranked in the top 20 this morning (A&M, Tennessee, Oregon State, Virginia Tech, North Carolina, Florida State, Duke). Texas and Creighton the only two who aren't.

    Apparently OU (UT-Arlington) and TCU (UTRGV) are already talking about canceling their midweek games this week to start protecting their RPI.

    Oats has a $18 million buyout

    This feels a little like Jimbo 2.0, but maybe Cal is agreeing to change his ways and will dominate the portal with all the NIL money Arkansas is about to give him.
  12. Hookem2147
    My biggest takeaway from the Arkansas search is I think they will be looking for a new AD soon.

    Assuming OU loses this one, there will be a two way tie for first between OU and WVU and a 4-way tie for second between Texas/Cincy/OSU/KSU all just one game behind the leaders.

    Fair. If that’s the case you might as well look at someone like Tulo. In terms of talent acquisition and NIL/portal, good chance he would own that. He’d have to hire really well around him as a first time HC, but out of all the major sports baseball might be the unique in terms of being a first time manager/coach. It can be a very smooth and easy transition for some.

    Cincy just run ruled TCU to sweep the series. TCU now 5-10 in conference play.

    I would prefer our next coach have coached in a regional at some point in his life, especially if he’s been a head man for 8 seasons.

    If accumulating talent is your goal and playing an exciting brand of baseball, Vitello is your guy. Players love playing for him, opposing fans can’t stand him. Not like opposing fans like us anyway. Vitello doesn’t get too deep in the weeds in the on-field stuff. Rumor is that Frank Anderson does a lot of the heavy lifting on that staff while Vitello just recruits his ass off. Biggest drawback with him is I think he runs into issues in the postseason with his style of play (1-4 at the CWS in two trips, lost as the #1 seed to ND in 2022 in a home super regional).

    One of those is not like the others. Why Wes Johnson? Genuinely curious

    And we cheer for Texas.

    A series loss to a bottom half team in the conference really hurts. Having it happen after you already lost to Baylor in a winnable game and dropped a home series to Washington makes it 10x worse. The sum of the parts continue to look way worse than the parts themselves. Shit is getting old.
  22. Hookem2147
    Probably cuz outside of the first inning they are continually coming up after the bottom of the order has shat the bed.
  23. Hookem2147
    Thomas’ average has actually increased the last two weeks. There are much bigger problems than those two.
  24. Hookem2147
    Glad we used an offensive timeout for that

    The clutch rating on this team is about -50
