  1. Texas needs to play loose and confident. This a team we are well scouted against; nothing they do will be a surprise Not that it matters, but when Texas played then the first time, we had played Alabama on a Thursday at home in a night game and then had to travel to Columbia and play on Sunday afternoon The second time, same deal, but we played Vandy at home on Thursday night and then hosted South Carolina on a Sunday afternoon - no travel The third time, we had just played 2 consecutive evening games against teams that wear you out defensively (Ole Miss and LSU), then had to turn around after a night game to play South Carolina in their backyard in the afternoon. Finally, Texas gets "rest" before facing them - we played on Monday, went back to Austin and then traveled to Tampa on Tuesday, so we got basically 2 full days and most of Tuesday in Tampa before we have to play today.
  2. Too lazy to scroll down? That’s middle management if I ever saw it
  3. The flip side of that is Texas' .350 SEC batting average, with 14 HR Team ERA in SEC play is 2.79, mostly due to Cam's 28.00 ERA in 1 IP. If you remove that, 2.37 ERA And before anyone says "omg, 2.79 is not good for Texas" - Tennessee is 2.98, OU is 3.33, Florida is 3.81, LSU is 1.99 (with the easiest schedule of the top 5 SEC teams) Texas - Florida, Auburn, MSST Tenn - Georgia, Arky, OU OU - South Carolina, Arky, Mizzou, Tenn Florida - aggy, Texas, Auburn LSU - Kentucky, Georgia, South Carolina
  4. Mizzou has only one player hitting over .320 - .270 as a team. Really only 2 major power threats - Crenshaw (10 HR, .373) and Walker (13 HR, .246). 2 other plays with 8 and 6 HR and then not much else. Crenshaw has 4 of her 10 HR in SEC play, while 12 of Walker's 13 HRs were in non-conf play. Mizzou is only hitting .233 with 11 HR in SEC play They have a team 3.49 ERA overall, which balloons to 5.13 ERA in SEC play Their workhorse in SEC play has been Marissa McCann (6.53 ERA in 24.2 IP), followed by Ciera Harrison (3.06 ERA in 16 IP). They are near the bottom of the SEC standings for a reason (2-7), but they did hold OU to 1 run in that game 2 victory. They got swept by a really average Kentucky team (6-4, 5-4, 9-6), lost 2 of 3 to OU (8-0, 5-1, 3-1 W) and lost 2 of 3 to Ole Miss (1-0, 5-3, 9-5 W) Texas needs to sweep
  5. This was someone I was really hoping would follow Xavier to Texas. They would have been better than First Four this year if he was coming off the bench, behind Freemantle.
  6. But they’ve done it in their rooms or outside the resort. I do recall Kate, I think, scolding Jaclyn for using it at breakfast one morning or something.
  7. We gonna get a white guy who can shoot 3s or what? Bc Barnes, Shaka and Beard decided to do that once they left
  8. Fla’Jae is forgoing the draft and coming back for another year
  9. Central? Hell yeah, 9am for me
  10. More off the ball/SG role for him, please.
  11. Blair has started following Latson from FSU She visited us out of high school so the relationship with Vic and familiarity with UT is there
  12. Sark. He's moving to tight end, duh.
  13. That would be a nuke in the CBB world for 2025-26 it ain't happening
  14. Former Gamecock A'ja Wilson gave the gals a pair of her shoes - super classy since we face her former program on Friday
  15. That would be a hilarious hire
  16. Edi Patterson said most of her scene with Mullaly was unscripted. They just went with it
  17. I think the SurlyX pushes the timestamp to GMT
  18. Porter Moser?????
  19. Bestest economy evah!!!

    Nintendo Switch

    Well I don’t have kids. So the idea of knocking a guaranteed $125 off the price before the market is flooded with used Switch 1s is appealing. And knowing my saves on Zelda and ACNH will transfer over. Plus the new NSO+ will have Game Cube games. Exclusive for Switch 2, the Switch 1 cant handle them. Also switch 1 joycons will be wirelessly compatible with switch 2, but you can’t charge them on the switch 2.
  21. You really got to give CDC his flowers. We may have reached out to a few big names to no avail, but we didn’t get publicly turned down by anyone or had it leak that we offered $2m over current salary and still got turned down. What a clown show. Thank god for CDC.
  22. Smith did a really excellent job defending Lauren Betts in the Elite 8 game, who has 5 inches on her. The problem is she's likely going to have to play center for Kim Mulkey next year and that is not a good use of a 6'2 player. She'd excel as a forward in Vic's system - she has all the tenacity defensively after being coached by Mulkey + we have a gaping hole at forward. She put up 21 and 11 against NCST in the Sweet 16 and 20 and 12 against FSU in the R32. She didn't have a stellar regular season overall, but she did average a double double in 4 NCAA tournament games (13.8 points, 10.3 boards, 2.3 steals, 1.0 block, 1.0 turnovers) shooting 64% from the field and 82% from the stripe. And only committed 3 fouls a game.
  23. TexAgs makes that job hard to stomach. There's a lot of somewhat normal aggys who don't participate in that site, but the ones who do are the loudest and have the ear of Looch, who has the ear of the AD and the NIL people. Fans who call for your firing after every loss and demand your adherence to whatever culture they made up and your fealty to the turditions they deem most important.
  24. Yes Miles (senior guard) Koval (freshman center) Risch (sophomore guard) Watson (senior center) Avery Howell, one of the big up and comers at USC, also entered the portal I think you will see players get somewhat excited about the prospect of multiple Final Fours and media hype with a star player (Hidalgo, JuJu) but then realize all they're gonna do is stand in the corner and watch the star take over. The JuJu Show The Hannah Hidalgo Show The Aaliyah Chavez Show etc. etc. UConn, South Carolina and Texas may be the big 3 teams in the country who still play 100% team ball. There is no one bigger than those programs, even UConn - Bueckers shares her spotlight with Fudd and Strong. Dawn's best player comes off the bench. Texas is as much the Madison Booker show as it is Rori Harmon, Jordan Lee, Tayor Jones, Kayla Oldacre, Bryanna Preston.
