    Always heard that Title 9 killed off baseball and wrestling.

    I wonder how all that goes with what sports come back now that Title IX has been effectively gutted. But the Big 8 teams seemed to have kept wrestling. Texas never fielded a wrestling team, though.

    Now that Texas will be in the SEC, the SEC has gymnastics -- will Texas field men's & women's gymnastics teams?  (Time to look in "Other Sports" Lulz.)

    Wasn’t really wanting that answered but thanks for finding it nonetheless.

    - Current SECSECSEC  is 14 teams

    - NewBig12 will be 14 teams (next year)

    - I would assume, then, that NewBig12 will be similar to SECSESEC

     

    Having said that...

    How ‘bout that Red Raider walk off win!!!

    Go Tech!! Wreck ‘Em!!!

     

    Since Tech will be on the road for the NCAA regionals, learning how to stay, and play in the winners’ bracket might be huge for this young team

     

    EXCEPT, since this is a baseball thread:

    Iowa State dropped baseball in 2001 over snowed-out games with Texas (Texas was adamant about moving the games to other venues, but IA state rather would drop baseball instead? -- really strange reaction), and somehow Silo Tech escaped any punishment from the Big 12 conference, if even just awarding 3 forfeit wins for Texas (which Texas didn't receive, by the way), for doing so.

    So it will be 13 teams playing baseball in the Big 12 in 2024 -- I can't find anywhere how they plan to handle the schedule or the Big 12 baseball tournament.

    How does the SECSECSEC do it now?

    Each team had 10 conference series (30 games) in SECSECSEC in 2023.

    When Texas and Mobilehoma join the SECSECSEC, they will also have 10 conference series (30 games) which will consist of 2 permanent opponents and 8 rotating opponents, and divisions will be eliminated.  (Source: https://www.secsports.com/article/35857432/seven-sec-sports-future-scheduling-formats-approved)

    "Baseball

    • Regular season: Each season a team will play a three-game series against two permanent opponents and eight rotating opponents, for a total of 30 conference games. Standings will be kept in a single-division format.
    • SEC Baseball Tournament:  Format to be determined."

    Hard to see it unless DBU hosts as the 1. 

    Better back up the tractor-trailers of Diamond-Dry to save everyone from drowning on the Titanic if the dbu-cheapskates host!

    Remember last time?

    I mean yeah. I would never have thought after OU we were finishing the conference season 7-2, and after going 7-2 I would never have thought we would go out with a wimper against Kansas and Kansas State. And after going 0-2 against Kansas and Kansas State I wouldn't think we were going to win a regional.

    So who the hell knows? I am certainly not putting any money on this up coming regional.

    I would probably bet money Texas isn't winning it all if I were a betting type.

    We could get sent to FayetteNam where we get laughed off the field.

    But it WOULD be really chef's-kiss sweet to win a regional there!  Lulz.

    This is quite depressing to watch.  The dozens of fans doesn't add to the lame atmosphere.

    At least the white-pants blue-shirt girl in the field box to the left of the pitcher's view of home plate is watching intently.  Lulz.

  7. Since the SEC move doesn't happen until July 1, 2024, what will the 2024 Big 12 baseball schedule look like with 4 new teams in the conference?

    If you can't play a round-robin schedule, how many conference series will there be per team?

    Which one of those guys is the East coast homer again? Fitt? The one who was talking up East Carolina as the greatest team ever before the supers last year.

    Maybe the same Shill who talks up teams like cal-long beach and cal-irvine as if they're the '27 Murderer's Row yankees lineup.

    Yeah I don't get why they still play in that dump

    Because they all drink the same kool-aid that they've been told to drink, that college baseball is a "niche sport" and doesn't deserve any better than that godforsaken backwater of Hoover, Alabama, where prolly the bidness-fix-is-in with the local gubmits, no one cares, and complaints about getting a better venue aren't allowed.  FFS

    This guy we are facing tomorrow is a unique cat.  Basically college Rick Reuschel.  Potbellied 5’8 guy who has no windup and just tosses the ball up there.  But he can put it exactly where he wants it with movement and changes of speed.

    So a fatty like if there was a 5-8 David Wells?  Lulz.

    He's amphibious!

    It's a PITY that ambidextrous pitchers can't choose when they step on the pitcher's plate to pitch from whatever the hell arm that they want.

    But instead the "braintrust" that runs baseball cooked up this rule that ambidextrous pitchers must choose an arm to throw with, and stick with that arm for each entire at-bat.....

    TPTB are so afraid that ambidextrous pitchers might "dominate" baseball by using their natural gifted ability to throw each pitch from either side, and forcing batters to adapt is somehow "cheating," or something.
