  1. So, what has Rodney Terry done to be considered better than Pierce? This outta be fun.
  2. Had a similar conversation with @B00M last night about this. The agent of chaos in me wants us to win this regional after losing the first game just to see how the fuck we would pull that off. But 3-0 would be a lot cooler.
  3. I don’t remember 5 minutes ago yet I remember the likes of Joe Baker and Michael Cantu swinging with their eyes closed as we routinely lost games 2-1 for fucking 5 years.
  4. Yeah 2012-2016 was dark with the exception of 2014. Of course that team was frustrating as hell too, but they got hot at the right time. And of course gave us hope for 2015 but nope. They couldn’t hit a beach ball. 2016 was hopeless all around. We pretty much knew we were fucked then Cal came to town and fucked our shit up in 4 games. Fun times.
  5. But we’re not talking about the time of his hiring. We’re talking right now. And most of the guy we would target have had similar years as Pierce has the last 6 real seasons.
  6. I would’ve liked the chance. Our pitching staff were letting their nuts hang all postseason while Ivan finally figured out elite pitching. The top of the order at the time was coming out hot, often getting us 2-3 runs in the first 2 or 3 frames putting the pressure on the opponent.Pretty sure Hansen would’ve started game one with Witt ready to go then Madden game 2. Who knows. Now what’s really pissed me off is that should’ve been the start of an 02-09 type run. But here we are 3 years later with a frustrating but fun, scrappy team. Injury luck has of course sucked but god damn
  7. Fuck the announcers and fuck ou. And fuck you for good measure
  8. A lotta ins, lotta of outs, lotta what have you’s
  9. Don’t fucking dox me
  10. How about Dooley Prince? Jesus, Cajun. Kody’s swing was way out of whack. He was only any good cause of his dads steroids. O’Dowd has raw power, a smooth swing and situational awareness up there with the likes of Derek Jeter. I don’t know what you’ve been watching, but O’Dowd is the truth.
  11. Cart McCry* One of their classier moments. God damn that game still pisses me off.
  12. Calling it now. O’Dowd is gonna go full Kody and carry us to Omaha.
  13. Which is why I’ve never given a shit about the conference tournament. I mean, it’s cool when we win but I’d rather go 1-2 and get our guys a couple days rest.
  14. Well there’s always someone random that steps up big time in our tournament runs. We just gotta, you know, make a big run.
  15. I read this in the LHN “he’s a longhorn legend” voice and it was pretty epic.
  16. How about an inoperable tumor at the base of his spine?
  17. Hopefully they get Texas OU right in this game. Used to piss me off so much seeing our fans around the tunnel. Get it right, EA
  18. Away from extra innings* Obviously no guarantee we win that game but I get where you’re coming from. It’s still been a frustrating few years since our ‘21 run.
  19. It’s not this years results. It’s his tenure. He maxed out the 2017 and 2018 teams. Good work. The 2021 team was awesome. The 2022 team was supposed to be awesome, but Witt went down and Stevens regressed. As did Nixon. Just like LBJ this year and Ridgeway back in 2019. For whatever reason, a stud pitcher or 2 seems to regress yearly under Pierce. Then last year went to the supers which was mostly fine in a rebuilding year. But this years team is roughly the same, arguably worse in some areas. Of course losing Mercer and Storm hurt but still, the fact that preseason Pierce thought Witt and Harrison would be legit contributors which makes me question his evaluations. So basically, is Pierce a good coach? Yes. Can he sustain a top 10 team yearly? Doesn’t appear so. With that being said, what a crazy ass year it’s been. Maybe we pull a ‘22 ole miss. That’d be pretty nice.
  20. Someone around here brings this up pretty often. Can’t recall who though… And this is where Pierce loses me. Yeah, it’s awesome firing on all cylinders in the late part of the season. But it shouldn’t take that long. We should be ass raping everyone from the start like Texas baseball has since WW1
  21. Totally got my years mixed up. For whatever reason I was thinking Chance over at first. Which is odd, Thigpen was one of my favorite players of that era I miss that entire team
  22. To make things even weirder, he was the only one of those infielders to make it to the show. I thought Seth was gonna get a cup of coffee and maybe Maroul if he improved at the plate. But nope.
  23. Highlights anywhere? Wasn’t able to watch the game
  24. I have Kole Calhoun flashbacks in general. The show he put on in 09….Jesus fuck. He almost single handily beat us. Almost
