Hey, I'm sure it's a lovely field.  And sorry I didn't give enough a shit about SEC tourney baseball to ever look it up or watch it.  Don't get me wrong, I do SEC baseball homework once big bracket time comes around since we invariably meet up with a few in/on our way to Omaha.  Birmingham just fucking blows to get to from Austin by air or car.  

I guess I just assumed it rotated around from Atlanta to some grapefruit/minor league stadiums in Florida.  I dunno.  Seems like it'd be a fun thing to go watch every few years when we make the move.  But no way in the world could I justify 4-5 days away from home to visit a Birmingham exurb.  Who knows, maybe they'll start moving it around in a few years.  I guess I should think about Globe Life this season as a last hurrah.  I know the Rangers just had theirs there.  Eeeewwwwww.burn

Just dropping by to say WTF?  Broadcast schedule for 2 & 3 November just came out on LHN (evening slots are all reruns, press conferences, etc.).  Nothing about any baseball, texassports.com doesn't have anything, and folks that answer baseball calls in Belmont don't know anything.  Are they not having the FWS open to the public for some stupid fucking reason?  They got May tennis schedules all set in stone.  But next week's baseball is a fucking mystery.  Da fuh?

What if I told you that you would spend those 4-5 days watching Texas baseball? All the justification you need.

That’s all I need personally. The wife would likely not green light the expense though.  And while I’d be happy to bring the girls along, she and I both know they’d get bored out of their fucking mind by day two.  And it’s not like I can play it off as an educational opportunity in America’s backwards south.  I can’t wait to take them to New Orleans, Savannah, and Charleston; Nashville; Asheville, etc.  but Alabama?  Yeah; they don’t really have a penchant for the confederacy and fried food.  
 

we are gonna blow it out this May at Arlington though.  One last big 13 hurrah

If you actually called Belmont about the baseball schedule you are a god-damned hero, and probably a psycho...

I just used that little chat box on the lower right deal.  It’s probably a robot or an intern who knows nothing.  I had a deposit question anyway and wanted to inquire about fall ball.  But like hogan’s heroes……they know nothing!!!

That is odd they aren't airing Thursday/Friday - thought maybe volleyball might conflict, but they're in Morgantown those 2 days.  So there's not really a reason to not air them except LHN sucks and I can't wait until it's gone.

They were going to air the Thursday/Friday games, but the only one around to call the games was Lowell, so they decided to trash the idea.

They want people to come out. (?)

I went to all the Fall Ball games last year. Did they televise the Thurs-Fri games of the FWS? I can't remember.

Just the first game.

The annual Fall World Series will be played Thursday-Saturday, November 3-5, with the series opener set to be broadcast on Longhorn Network at 6 p.m.

You mentioned you spoke with a player at a tailgate who stated Pierce elected not to play another opponent during the Fall to better evaluate the players.   Did he seem pro/con or indifferent ?

He (portal transfer last year)made it seem like they have a pretty good club with high expectations and a lot of talent. Talent that still needs a thorough evaluation.

HA!  I took it from the texassports.com site after THEY posted it yesterday. Somehow it linked last's years schedule even though I read through it and it was for this year 🤷‍♂️...Let's see if this one works.

What I read and linked was for THIS year...not sure how it linked last year's schedule. See my above 👆post.

I guess season tickets go on sale (renewal) in late Dec/early Jan?

Renewal email for season ticket holders usually comes out first week of December (for ‘23 tickets, renewal email went out December 5, 2022)
Last year they added automatic renewal for season ticket holders and if you signed up for that, your card will automatically be charged usually the first week of January. (I did this) Seat selection for upgrades (if wanted) takes place mid January. Seat upgrades or extra seats last year was pretty tight. Tickets being available for download around first week of February. I think last year that email went out around 3 February.

Texas State schedule came out today.

I got an email Monday that said if you signed up for automatic renewal you were renewed and the payment would be charged on November 6. If you are on the payment plan the days charged would be November 6, Jan. 2nd and Feb. 2nd.

Last day of fall ball must be Nov 5 based on NCAA rules allowing max 45 days from start of fall practice Sept 22. So FWS, if on a weekend, must be first weekend in November.  B12 will be 10 conference weekends (like SEC and ACC), so 4 non-conf weekends, one of which is first weekend in March at Minute Maid.  Heard that home will be Baylor, OkSt, Kansas, BYU and TCU, with away being UH, UCF, KState, TxTech and OK.

10/10. Not bad for your first post.

Scheduling the two game midweek series against Texas State after the BYU series is a smart move since BYU can't play on Sunday's. Shouldn't find ourselves having to play 5 games in 5 days like we did last year.

I thought y'all were reading too much into conspiracy theories, but nope---it's every fucking sport.

Is it me or are the dates off on texassports?  They start with USD 2/16-2/18 but have it listed Thu-Sat and then every other home series is off one day of the week from then on?  Da fUH?
