Not my best work as I did it in a rush, but wanted to ride the momentum on this thread.    schloss.mp4

It’s both hard to believe and imminently believable that TAMU can do the following in the space of a week:

1) Win more games in Omaha than they’ve won in the entire history of their program.
2) get to within one out and one error of tying/beating the favorite and bringing home their first Big 3 championship since Hitler.

3) be openly cucked by UT the next day and lose their best coach ever.

4) spin losing that coach as a positive because of his “lack of character.”

5) conduct a nationwide search and hire a guy that was an unpaid assistant two years ago, and spin that as an upgrade over their best coach in 84 years.

6) give their chancellor a golden handshake, plaudits, and year-long goodby tour when he is responsible for all of the above, plus strapping the athletic department through an insane contract extension for, and subsequent firing of, Jimbo. 
 

Never change, Aggies. From the outside, we truly can’t understand it.

1) Uhh they won 3 games in Omaha this year.  2 in 2022, 1 in 1993, and 1 in 1951 for 4 total wins so definitely not more than their entire history ;-)

2) They were 7 outs away from sweeping the tournament which hasn't been done since UCLA in 2013

They won 4 this year, didn’t they?  3-2 vs Florida; 5-1 vs KY; 6-0 vs Fla; 9-5 vs UTenn. Maybe I miscounted one?

You are right they equaled their prior win total in one year from their entire program history twice in three years!  I stand corrected

Can somebody explain to me why they wanted Washington's head coach as the pitching coach?

ERA by team: 

Washington '24 (#120---5.78)

Washington'23 (#90---5.37)

LSU '22 (#36---4.32)

Arizona State '21 (#147---5.28)

Arizona State '20 (#85---3.56)

Washington '19 (#100---4.49)

Washington '18 (#50---3.81)

That's as far as I want to go back. He hasn't produced a top 35 pitching staff in 7 years and maybe never if you look at his entire history. This is a mediocre hire at best. 

 

You left out the most important part of his resume:

I know you're being sarcastic but Texas hired the pitching coach that just finished 4th in team ERA. 

But all the pitchers hated him.  They were the first ones to say they were staying in the station, stupid sip

He’s “built” to be the coach at aggy? Does he have Velcro ankles or something?

Just means he was cheap

Not just travel but B1G baseball is just so awful. 

I'm really surprised we haven't heard a renewal of the B1G trying to push legislation that college baseball can't start until April 1 or whatever it was they were pushing 20 years ago .

Some people make a flat brim fitted and a chain look natural and cool. That man is emphatically not one of them.

I know aggy never lies, cheats, or steals, but the Yankees haven’t played a home game since June 25.

I do, because it would be hilarious and very on brand of aggy to truly believe that we're only getting their sloppy seconds. 

It's also funny if it is exactly what it appears to be.
