  1. Definitely obstruction. That's the correct call.
  2. That game-one loss to UH really bites right now. However, OU dropped one to BYU, and OSU has dropped three to worse competition (BU, ISU, and BYU), so I guess I can't complain. At least it's interesting.
  3. https://www.ncaa.com/news/golf-men/article/2022-04-10/where-masters-tournament-winners-played-golf-college It appears that is correct. Texas has three winners (Crenshaw x2, Spieth, Scheffler), while Stanford and Houston have two. Stanford (Woods x5, Watson x2) and Ohio State (Nicklaus x6) have more overall wins. Wake Forest also has four because of Palmer.
  4. Oh boy... Not a good look.
  5. @aggie08 - @Sweetnsourpoke is referring to the above post.
  6. I agree with all of this. This team doesn’t hit for average, and since they’ve started to play more competitive teams on a more consistent basis, a ton of the offensive numbers have dropped. So much of the production is from HRs.
  7. Two things can be true. The players have no idea what they’re doing and aren’t as talented overall as many past Texas teams, but their cluelessness at the plate, lack of plate discipline and strategy, and shitty swing technique certainly falls under the purview of coaching. High strike out numbers have been a feature of every Pierce team at Texas. Even the three CWS squads got annihilated at the plate in terms of SOs, especially in the CWS.
  8. This is plenty rational. Nevertheless, I hope you’re wrong.
  9. Especially with the pending move to the SEC. CDC isn’t taking a lame duck coach into the SEC just to let him go after the first year. I could definitely see Pierce out after this season. CDC didn’t hire him and he’s been here 8 years. Plenty of reasons why Pierce might get fired.
  10. Someone already (hilariously) updated Wikipedia:
  11. I sure as hell hope y'all are correct and we don't have to see Pierce attempt to readjust again. His assistant coaching hires have been very poor, and he's been bad at leading his staff. It's also obvious he doesn't trust anyone else to be the pitching coach, which is a giant red flag. I don't think CDC is going to allow Pierce another shot if this season keeps going south. This isn't women's soccer - it's a revenue sport, and one that is has a massive legacy at Texas. Pierce was never CDC's guy to begin with, and I doubt he's going to trot him out into the SEC when every other program is top-tier, or at least competitive. My assumption is, pending something crazy in terms of a positive readjustment this season, Pierce is on borrowed time.
  12. Why is Pierce so dogshit at assembling and leading a staff?
  13. I wouldn't be upset by any of that. Although, I know there will be a name we really don't want to leave that does so.
  14. About to lose to another team with a losing record. They know they aren't good, so they'll get really excited to beat Texas.
  15. Fire the pitching coach! Oh, wait...
  16. Isn’t Tuesday the Friday guy’s BP/simulated action day, anyways?
  17. @Lonestar88 is correct about everything they said. At the AFA, they have Field Training the summer after their sophomore year. Upon completion, they are locked into their commitment. That's why you'll see a lot of transfers right before that. It works the same at the other service academies, but with varying names. As far as portal rules, NIL, years of eligibility: it's all the same once someone transfers. Interestingly, active duty military service is one of the only avenues for someone to preserve eligibility under the traditional "five years to play four" model. That's why you'll see older NCAA athletes who are vets.
  18. Says the fanatical Yankees fan about a legendary Red Sox player... That argument doesn't really work for you. There's actually nothing objective about that statement on your end.
  19. Must find the absolute wackos in the CR to save the world.
  20. Out for the rest of the regular season. https://www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/id/39907364/red-sox-trevor-story-season-ending-shoulder-surgery
  21. Can't stand to lose Pivetta for a long duration this season.
  22. We get it. You’re just whoring for more pos rep. Since it’s a highly-rated OT, I’ll allow it!
  23. Psshh, he’s not running out of Aggie checks for a while.
