    Not football, but MLB teams don't rebrand very often. I love the more distinctive look, and the swinging padre logo is great.

    They need to bring back this hat as an option too.

    So from someone who isn't following baseball recruiting intently, how many of these guys won't ever play for Texas and instead will go pro?

    A few of them certainly will never wear a Longhorn uni come next fall ball season.  

    This is the same thing that bit Augie in the later days of his coaching career and the thing that sucks is you have to wait until June to find out which means it's too late to go back and ask some players who were passed over if they would like to come to Texas because they've already signed on elsewhere.   We know a family who had a son a few years ago sign on with the Horns during the signing period and he was listed in Baseball America and the other publications as going a lower 1st round or anywhere in the 2nd round.   The only way he was going to Austin is if he got picked in the 3rd round by a couple of organizations who were total dog shit back then and still to some extent are today.    Why coaches waste their time and resources on signing kids like the Kelley kid is just dumb strategy other than it looks good in the media.  That one class this kid  noted  above  was in had I think six or seven  more kids who never wore a UT baseball uni, so it left Augie scrambling for kids they should have made offers for in the first place.  Those types end up at places like Tech and look how much their baseball program has improved.

  3. He's better than anyone on eSECpn right now.    Or the Ohio State fan boy and alum Herbie.   

    Speaking of Herb, has he called us a dump again for calling out our coaches?    I mean the only thing we are pointing out is the same thing some of our football clueless wives point out about our defense.

    ISU fans are welcoming, will share their tailgates with you and treat you with respect.  Been to multiple games there since the early 2000s and never had a problem.

    The only thing I've noticed is that they are the absolute worst at booing the refs.  I get it, they've been screwed over by the refs so much they think the world is out to get them (Jonathan Gray fumble, OU Pass Interference. etc.).  But they will boo the most obvious calls in the world. 

    Offsides where the left tackle jumps?  Booooooo.  12 men on the field?  Booooo.  DB tackles the receiver before ball arrives?  Boooo.  You start to think it's sarcasm but then notice all the ISU fans around you are actually livid at the refs.  It's actually comical at times.  

    WIth have a whole thread of grievances against the Big 12 Refs here on Surly.  Sorry,  but ISU comes in second to our bitching!  

    If they are that bad with the booing, I can only imagine the rage if they ever had an Okie State  vs Texas 2015 shit fest occur on their own turf. I still get pissed off to this day about that game and the BIg 12 response to it.

    You lose fourteen conference games in a row, and lose to San Jose State and then Western Kentucky by four touchdowns in the same season-- your fate is sealed. No program that expects to compete for conference championships is going to tolerate that kind of losing. 

    Correct.  If you can't beat at least those two,  you don't deserve a year three.   Especially if you are SEC SEC SEC!   The cupcakes are supposed to be three or four auto wins to get you two steps closer to bowl eligibility and of course help pump up the rest of the SEC power and poll rankings so the media continues to hype the conference and the playoff selection committees continue to the buy the hype.

    I think the biggest question for Saturday is which way do the refs roll?  Baylor vs. ou.  Only 2 spots apart in the polls.  The refs could easily decide the game.   

    ISU came very close to making it an easy choice.  

  7. That roughing the passer penalty was embarrassing.  How NFL coaches can keep their  on field composure is beyond me?   I would have gone ape shit on the ref to the point the NFL would have to suspend me just to make the damn league address the issue.

  8. I don’t blame ISU for going for the win in this situation.   They were playing in Norman and all of us who have watched games in that shit hole know the Refs  being a factor in the final out come in OT is a very real possibility.  Campbell saw multiple instances of this although the Refs threw some bones to ISU in the form a couple of calls goin their way,  so it came down to rolling dice.

    What I did get from this game is not one team left on OU suxs schedule should be cowering in the corner about playing them.   Once they take a cut or blow to the head, they are like a prized fighter trying to figure out how to punch back because they don’t know how to respond to it.    The key is to not give up once they jump on you and have you down by 14 or 21.   Make a couple of stops like ISU did and chip away at that margin and you have a damn good chance to pull it off.

    yeah the real issue is that bullshit flag pickup that would have given ISU a first down.  the way this conf protects OU is just ridiculous.

    That was a crock because the ref who threw it was standing right in front of the play as it was happening.   It was like the white hat went over there and said we are picking this one up boys because it will swing momentum the wrong way.
