Yeah I thought with the “Lonestar Showdown” series back in action that we would face off against aggy in all sports. The Fall Ball game is just an exhibition and shouldn’t count

It won't count.  I'm very surprised we don't face them permanently, as a protected rivalry.  But I imagine if they said you only get one, we asked for OU. 

For those curious

Aggy:

Florida
@ Auburn
Alabama
@ Georgia
LSU
@ Missouri
Arkansas
@ Tennessee

Oklahoma 

South Carolina
@ Arkansas
@ Missouri
Tennessee
@ Alabama
Miss St
Texas
@ Florida
 

Texas has the weekend of March 7-9 off from SEC play - everyone plays 8 series (24) games with 1 weekend off.  So hopefully we line up a good OOC series for that weekend.  OU has off April 4-6 and aggy has off March 28-30

Texas and Alabama both start with a bye - might be a fun non-conf matchup there.

I feel like we play Tenn, kentucky, and LSU almost every year in non-con anyway, so not that big of a difference.  Still we play 2,3,5,8, 10, 21, 25, 33 in D1 rankings.  That's a pretty stout conference schedule.  

Texas has played every SEC team on its schedule in just the last few seasons. The furthest back is 2021

Florida - 2024 WCWS
Auburn - 2022
Miss St - 2021
Missouri - 2023
Tenn - 2024
LSU - 2024
OU - 2024 regular season, 2024 Big 12 tournament, 2024 WCWS
Kentucky - 2023

Yeah I’m surprised it’s not a protected rivalry. Not having the aggy series in softball won’t cause an outcry but I don’t think the SEC would try to leave aggy v Texas off the baseball schedule

Steve Singleton,  recruiter extraordinaire.

 

Quote

Abdullah hails from Florida and recently won the Alliance Fastpitch Championship Series with the Texas Bombers organization. She is the top-ranked position player in the class and second overall. In a previous conversation with Softball America, Abdullah mentioned she wanted a program that allowed her to be herself defensively and seemingly found that fit on the Forty Acres.

“I first met (hitting) coach (Steve) Singleton when I was 13 years old randomly at a softball event that I was actually too young to attend. We immediately connected. I then that year attended a camp at Texas and it just felt like home,” she said. “Throughout the years my relationship with Coach Singleton continued to grow, and in addition I became very close with the rest of the staff. I’ve met and felt comfortable with their team and their culture. I know that they have the track record and resources to help me become the best version of myself as a softball player and a person. Also, I love that they have a long history of Olympians, which is one of my goals.”

Softball America has both in their top 5 for 2026.  That seems pretty good.  White following Sark's lead in building elite talent.  

 

All the women's programs are recruiting elite talent. Including the soccer team that really shouldn't be recruiting at the level they are based on results. 

NIL has to be a big reason why.

Only if you're gonna drop some coins, cuz they ain't free

I know from 1st hand experience that they are not accurate either. Case and point, my daughter had a travel ball teammate who was a good, not great, player. She was tall and athletic and played SS. When the team traveled to California for PGF, her dad greased the palm of a writer for Softball America to do a write up on her. Within a month of the article coming out, she had multiple offers, and committed to a big time softball program up north. Sometimes, these websites and publications scratch the backs of the travel teams and college coaches in return for a little publicity or shout out here and there. It is all about the clicks and money.

Sorry for posting the entire feed.  Old man here.  

No clue how you pulled that off but hopefully a mod delete's/edits it. Reached out to a few SB folks for info on her but nothing so far.

SA area softball contact sent me this re: Busceme: Plus speed, loves the game, fluid athlete, low maintenance & has feel for the game at plate/bases/CF. Was going SEC if not w/us. Believes best is ahead of her on the diamond.

Any idea how the lineups looked ??

Didn’t see them. The lineups were pretty much the same players to start the game, but some diff positions.

Mitchell played 1st, Kaydee Bennett LF and Stewie caught, Reese DP game 1 with Teagan pitching. Goode hit a HR

Game 2, Scott moved to LF, Mitchell to 3B, Stewie 1B/Atwood C and Hunter at DP. Mac pitched. Reese hit a HR

Great night at the ballpark.  15-3 final.  Weather was perfect and it was a packed house - never seen that for a fall game.  Neither of the freshman that played (Salmon and Brister) wowed, but they didn't play much.  It was a bench clearer.

Thanks for the updates because Texas Sports decided not to even do a recap.  Or mention they played TXST last night.

You suck?

 

Jokes aside, this rivalry in softball could end up one of the best in all of sports.  Hope Patty can keep her fire lit…

It is a fantastic rivalry.  And I hope you have a rebuilding year and we sweep your asses in Norman ;)
