    Have we learned how Abmus is pronounced Ace-mus yet?

    Did we really make the Elite 8 last year?

    The baseball version of Scott Sterling.

    Breaking: Grubbs out for season with broken hand

    PP's average dropping like a rock, from .455 to .417.

    Playing some damn good baseball this inning. Love it.

    Bases loaded with 1 out and speed at the plate? That's not much of an experiment - a pop up or double play ground ball are about the only way you can fail. Just about anything else scores a run. Belyeu's hitless too and if he's such a stud, his bat would be in the lineup already. I would have given Kennedy the AB.

    Gasparino's not even getting the bat on the fastball. Just straight whiffs, over and over.

    That was a good opportunity to learn a lot about a freshman, give him some confidence, etc. Especially with only 1 out. Pretty much anything but a double play ball is a success. But nope, let's pinch hit for him.

    Is O'Dowd still 0-for-2024? Good walk/at-bat there. Good to see him work the pitcher vs. swinging for the fences on every pitch.

    I agree 100%. We've obviously had success in the past adhering to the standards. Is it sustainable in the future, or is overall baseball culture shifting away in a manner that makes it harder to do? NIL lends itself to being a "character", having a sellable image, etc. Will players be as willing going forward to lose all the individual bullshit and play within a culture like ours?

    I know. And again, I'm all for it. I'm just wondering if it has an effect on recruiting. Do we miss out on this guy because he wants his long hair, beard, gold chains, silly eye black, etc....(his swag)?
  13. Hondo
    Maybe the top talent in the 2020's would rather play for long/dyed hair, beards, earrings/gold chains, trailer park looking programs where they're allowed to show their "swag." There's a marked difference in the culture at Texas and LSU; you can see it from appearances alone. We either force conformance with clean cut/professional culture or we recruit it - either way, we likely exclude some good talent in the process. Don't get me wrong - it's one of the things I've always appreciated about Texas baseball and, in my mind, I can't see why anyone would want to play anywhere else. It just makes me wonder if the societal shift toward "all about me/look at me" affects old school/classic programs like Texas when it comes to pulling (some) talent.

    Gotcha. Thanks for the update. Wonder what's up with the kid. Some people can't mentally bounce back from injury; maybe he's one of them. Hope not. He had huge upside before the UCL tear.

    LHN was stuck on tennis for a bit. Y'all mind giving a little update on Witt? Was he pulled because of command or did he injure his arm again?

    Flores can't make a 127' throw when it matters. FFS.

    Did I see that correctly? Tumis is 6'4" 155? That's skinnier than skinny.
  18. Hondo
    Eh, there are worse places for him to be than in school and on a football team. Plenty of people delay jumping into the rat race until late 20s/early 30s, choosing instead to travel, "van life", or whatever the hell it is people do these days. Sometimes it's immaturity and a refusal to grow up, but sometimes it's an honest philosophical belief that "there's plenty of time to work for the rest of my life; do epic stuff now while I don't have obligations like kids, etc." I'm not saying I agree with it necessarily, but I get it. Maybe he's just enjoying his continued education and being on a college football team while he still has the chance.

    They lost me years ago when it became clear Jerry Jones was a massive problem. Anybody with a pulse knew Tony Romo was great for stats, but not great for winning. Anybody with a pulse knows Dak Prescott is the exact same. Not a winner. (It's the phenomenon I point out in the Quinn Ewers discussions... and he'll show us again next year, watch and see.) The NFL as a whole lost me again when millionaires who get paid to play a game started telling me I'm racist. I won't give a shit about Dallas or the NFL again until they knock off the bullshit.

    He called for a mandatory team meeting at 1700 PST

    Pretty sure it's Deboer. Sounds like he's out at Washington.
  22. Hondo
    Joke's on him. Now he has to change his name to Beaux Davis. He's going to be standing in DMV lines and on hold a lot.

    On SEC Rant, it's nothing but "just wait until you have to run the SEC gauntlet every week" ... and then 2 seconds later, they're bitching about how "Texas got a weak conference schedule next year." They can't make up their own minds.
  25. Hondo
    I'm interpreting this as we're currently the highest ranked football team in the SEC. I can't wait to hammer that fact leading up to next season.
