  1. His attention to details like that, yet Bellmont couldn't demand proper burnt-orange uniforms and proper burnt-orange colored designs on the baseball/football fields was chicken-shit. His name is DeLoss.
  2. With some of the extreme-shifts so many Texas batters were getting, I can't believe they refused-to/didn't-know-how-to bunt or drag-bunt until they stopped the extreme-shifts. The stubborn attitude of, "Nope! I'm going to hit the ball exactly to the same locations like I always do, because I don't want to try to hit to that huge open space!" Bullshit, especially by all the lefty-dead-pull-hitters Texas has, and oblige shitty-byu/etc. teams by hitting the ball exactly into the extreme-shift for the easy-outs, when the 3rd-baseman hugs the left field line behind 3rd base and there's no one between him and anywhere near 2nd-base, just made me want to pull my hair out. Dee has gotten the shift treatment, too, and he could have just laid down a bunt towards 3rd and, with his speed, got a hit every time -- but I've never seen him do it. FFS
  3. During my time at The 40 Acres during GusBall, I never got to keep one. The last one I grabbed, I whipped out a pen and signed my name on it before a student-manager came and took it from me. Lulz.
  4. Net didn't exist for the public in the 70s and most of the 80s -- WWW didn't start until '89.
  5. That wasn't even mentioned when I played. Lulz.
  6. Ha! I also grew up in the Houston area, watched the Astros/Rockets/Aeros of the 70s/80s/90s in person, so I saw many greats play in person, too. Mom (who was a RN) was a first-aid-room tech/nurse in the Houston Colt .45s' old Colt Stadium for a couple seasons -- a few years later moved to SF and saw more greats play for the Giants when they first moved out to SF.
  7. Watch Ernie's interviews on YT. He was always happy, doubleheaders just made him more happy. Lulz.
  8. I wonder if the rare Friday Double-Header will be on the menu.
  9. What happened to Chris Tanev, lose a contact lens? He came back quick.
  10. Backhand tic-tac-toe is a beautiful thing! Plant the Avs, Stars!
  11. Or his fellow D-linemate Richard Matvichuk, for that matter.
  12. In past years there was less time between the Big12 tournament and the regionals -- that was finally fixed when I bet the schools complained. This year, the Big12 tournament ends on May 25th, and the regionals start May 31st, or for some teams, June 1st. Also often we'd play in open-air ballparks like Bricktown Ballpark in OKC, and they'd get 2 games behind in the schedule because of rain, and we'd finish a day late with the already short schedule before they fixed the dates between the Big12 tournament & the regionals. No rain this year being in Globe Life Field with its retractable roof/air-conditioning/heating (Enron Field/Minute Maid Park has no heating thanks to cheapskate Drayton McLane). Rain will be part of our SEC baseball future as long as the SEC keeps their SEC tournament in that hole named Hoover.
  13. Dad's tickets were under the overhang in the 70s when the "Options" seats were the seatbacks in the upper deck---- until that fateful year when we had several rainy home games. Then the coveted seats became the ones underneath the overhang, and our seats moved to what used to be the "Options" seatback seats in Section 104.
  14. It'd be great to decide our own gametimes (7pm in late summer/early fall, whenever we choose when it gets cold), even if that meant we'd take the extra gate from having one of the many no-TV/radio-only games that we olds remember, but I bet the cockamamie TV contracts we're in wouldn't allow that, neither.
  15. Well, we can't win the regular-season Big12 Championship as our old assistant coach Skip Johnson has tied that up for Mobilehoma this year. I don't know if winning the Big12 tournament championship does us much -- it hasn't in years past IIRC -- other than jack our pitching staff out of regular rest before the regionals start.
  16. Those 2-run singles will just kill ya! Hook'Em!
  17. Visitors' bullpen is just a chain-link fence all the way around that anyone outside the stadium can walk up to and rag on and harass the pitchers (especially the chance to do it to Texas' pitchers) at all day long. What a Shithole!
  18. Goddamn it. Lulz. "At the end of the day, the cows come home!"
  19. I think it was this week, if not yesterday, that OTF (Bobby/Gerry) suggested that if there's a great-fit high-quality LB out there, we could add a LB, also.
  20. With DE upgrades the DBs shouldn't have as long to cover since the QB will be on his ass, so unless the SEC allows wholesale BS offensive-holding like the Big12-crooked-jihad refs allowed last year, pass-situation defense should be better than last year. It also would help if the new DBs have abilities that overcome bad defensive coaching, much like VY and the offense overcame GDGD.
  21. Really? Bobby was the person who was mentioning that as a hurdle the most. When did he report there were ways around it?
