    we expect them not to look like 9th grade boys team at pflugerville high

    And that's fair lol. But that was my expectation coming into this game. There was a 0.0% chance we were winning this game and a 10% chance it wouldnt be a blowout.

    Same thing Brown was called out on at Stanford in game 3. He has to stop doing that.

    I was just telling my wife about this... bizarre tendency. I respect the competitiveness but in todays world of replays, youre gonna get caught more often than not.

    Did you know there are local middle men that aren’t giant fucking corporations that butt fuck you a lot less hard? Fuck stub hub and fuck you too for thinking you’re smart

    I have the money to cover the difference, so I am not really worried about it. You probably do too. I was joking, chill.

  4. I would like to see a system where the top 4 sec are seeded and play each other (semis and finals) and the winner gets a birth in the final four. Same for the big 10 (but for a spot in the opposite semifinal). The rest of the conferences can play an 8 team playoff to see who the two teams are that will play the big 10 champ and the SEC champ. Then you keep your conf championship games and appropriately award the teams for winning a harder conference.

    The only way the CCG ever gets dropped is if the playoff $ is > the CCG $.  And the CCG generates a LOT of money directly into the pocket of the conference vs. getting a cut from the playoff.

    CCGs are going to start to look like exhibitions when its a situation like #1 Georgia vs #3 Texas and they already played once in the regular season and are probably gonna play again in the playoffs and teams will play their cards close to the vest and not want to risk injuring starters. CCGs will go extinct, it is only a matter of time. The only benefit of winning is a bye and you probably are gonna basically have a bye anyways with a home playoff game against Tulane or one of those shitter G5 schools.

    They’re showing the concurrent softball game against ULL live. That starts at 12:30. The baseball game begins at 1 and will be aired from 2:30-5:30.

    However, I’m curious if we’ll still be able to catch it live on ESPN+

    What fucking moron decided that putting our womens softball team on TV so they can run rule ULL was a better move than putting the baseball team on TV? What the fuck

    I'm also not all that bummed about it. We should handle them easily without PP and it's probably good to get Borba more reps. Doesn't sound like it's a major issue. 

    This, non issue. And if it is an actual issue, we have much bigger problems.

    2020 baseball and softball both could have won a title if not for COVID

    2009 football

    2023 MBB if Disu doesn’t get hurt in the tournament 

    2024 WBB if Rori doesn’t tear her ACL (TBD but damn we miss her)

    Being a Texas fan is so hard sometimes 

    Football this year if we couldve converted one of the four fucking pass attempts from the 10 yard line.

    It looks to me like this team is overall a bit more talented than last years team.   We still have some roles to be figured out.   In particular I think Pierce will be forced to rethink some of the pitching roles he had in mind.   My biggest concern at this point is catcher.   Not sure there's a solution to avoid being very mediocre at that position.

    I think this years team will hit better top to bottom. Last year sometimes it felt like a miracle if anyone outside the first 4 in the order would get a hit. Pitching is probably gonna be about the same as last year. Catching... blah. Our defense appears to have had more wtf moments but that is something that will improve as the season goes on. No reason this team cant win the big 12 and host a super.
