Is the "Snake Farm" still around? Always remember seeing that sign on I-35.

It's a reptile house.

Yup.  "Ewwww"

(Not an exact transcription.)  And why not?

That is good to hear.

We have all the LHN infrastructure still in place don't we?

I want Keith on the radio. The ideal situation would be home feed on main, and road feed on sap.  This is 1990's technology folks.

He hardly ever did baseball games.

He did lots of baseball games till the complaints by fans and probably even Zeke and Zonk made LHN remove him.

Then it was just Swindell and Moreland most of the time.

I remember when LSU came to Austin, they had Ben McDonald in the booth with them.

I was angry that day my friend.

Why don’t our box scores show up on ESPN?  The score is updated, but can’t click to see the stats (you can on all aggy games). Is it because we are on SEC+ and not ESPN+?

You can get box scores and season stats on the Texas Sports page, if that is what you're after.

If you are just making a complaint about what ESPN is doing about our game's vs Aggy games.

I understand and carry on.

Does anybody have an idea how much Texas (or other P4 programs for that matter) pay the opposing team for midweek games?  Im sure distance travelled may come in to play, but generally curious on what an average number would be.

I remember a mid week game and someone made a reference about Pirates of the Caribbean. Lowell then proceeded to make even more of an ass of himself than usual by having no idea where the fuck the Caribbean Sea is located. Moreland's response, "You have a degree from Texas?" I don't remember him doing too many games after that day.

The day they gave Lowell a degree was oppo day.

Yeah, where did that come from? His ESPN bio:

A native of San Antonio, Texas, Galindo was graduated from Emerson College in 2003 with a bachelor’s degree in Broadcast Journalism.

It would be interesting to know how much aggy is paying to get their asses handed to them midweek.

Seems weird we would pay teams to play here in baseball. Didn’t know that happened outside of football.

You typically do a home and away for minimal compensation.  If you do not want to do a return trip you pay them to come out. Depending on costs to come to your school you pay more.

I used the following site on the build a schedule threads back in the day to see who was looking for games.

https://collegebaseballinsider.com/2025-open-dates/

This was pre-NIL ridiculousness but I seem to recall $5000 mentioned as the guarantee years ago on the above site. I assume it's negotiation based on reputation. I'm sure bigger programs pay less for the experience for the smaller school to come out. 

You could use the wayback machine on that site and read a bunch of older ones, and you could get tim tadlocks email address if you wanted it.

So I think at this point it's safe to assume 16 SEC wins is going to get you a hosting spot.

The path to 16 as I see it right now:

Need to sweep (3): at Missouri

Need to find 5 wins in these home series: (5): Georgia, A&M, Auburn

Need to find 5 wins in these road series (5): at OU, at Miss State, at Kentucky

Don't get swept (3): at Arkansas, LSU, Florida

We also have 8 non-conference games left. I think 6-2 would be adequate. That would put us at 38-17.

Yeah, win 'em all. But I think that's a good Year 1 for Schloss and the SEC of it all.

Yeah, I don't expect us to roll through the rest of non-conference play without a hiccup or two, especially if we are holding back guys like Flores and Rerick for potential weekend roles.

UTRGV (they are actually good this year), Texas State (x2), UTSA and Lamar are the toughest midweek games we have on the schedule and all happen to be during SEC play.

Reality going to set in fast. First 12 games are going to be imperative with Missouri being horrible and Georgia’s starting pitching being abysmal.

LSU is LSU but they have played nobody to date and I mean NOBODY, so it will be an adjustment for them when they come to Austin. They open conference play with Missouri in Baton Rouge so Texas will be their first real challenge of the year.

Going to be a good test this weekend, Dudy Noble should be packed

Whatever. We have Jared Spencer. Reality is going to set in for Mississippi State on Friday, not us.

Gasparino is 1 walk away from matching his total from all of last season.

Slugging % is up 130 points and OBP is up 64 points despite his average being a tick lower than it was last year.

Really interested to see if going on the road gets the offense going again. Since the Louisville game, Texas has scored at least 10 in every game away from Disch-Faulk.

FIFY

Is "miss STATE" really interested in getting these games in?

I can't find anything about altered gametimes.

Accuweather says:

88% Rain Friday night

99% Rain Saturday day, 63% Rain Saturday night

 

Does the SEC have SOP to keep home teams from sandbagging the changes of start times when they face certain weather problems?

Bringing my young boys (11 and 6) to their first Texas game for the Saturday evening matchup.  I'm sure they'll join you in the wave.
