Texas Softball 2025 - Sick of Being Second Place

Not a good situation. (excerpts)

 

Quote

After saying that he's "been getting an earful from everybody," Del Conte explained that even though the East Campus Garage is located right by UFCU Disch-Falk Field, it was built for the university's interests and not the baseball team. Del Conte reminded fans that there are 32 home games on the baseball team's schedule in 2025 while residents of the recently-opened apartments for graduate students need a place to park throughout the year.

"I owe everyone an apology," Del Conte said. "I was poor on my communication. That's on me. We sent information out, we talked about it, but it did not resonate until they show up to a game."

There are still 1,000 parking spots that can be used on game day in the East Campus Garage, but those spots have mostly been reserved. Del Conte said there are some surface lots that are available in the area, and he added that the LBJ library's parking lot will be an alternative option. Since the LBJ library is located across the highway from the baseball stadium, the university has set up a shuttle service for fans who park there.

To finish his parking presentation, Del Conte asked the attendees if that answered the question. "It's not a good answer," rebutted one Texas fan.

Some good games this week/end that may shake up rankings next week:

Thursday
UCLA/LSU (noon)
TXST/aggy (2:30, SECN+)

Friday
OKST/Nebraska (10:30am)
OKST/Mizzou (1pm)

Saturday
SoCar/Duke (10am, ACCNX)
Mizzou/Nebraska (1pm)
ULL/Auburn (1pm, SECN+)
Arizona/UCLA (2pm)
Tech/aggy (5pm, SECN+)

Sunday
SoCar/Duke (9am, ACCNX)
Arizona/SDSU (9:30am)
ULL/Auburn (9:30am, SECN+)

The Garman games will be good (UCLA/LSU, Arizona/UCLA, Arizona/SDSU), but no streaming.

The Tech/aggy games will be must-see, likely both games Canady vs. Kennedy.  Same with OKST/Nebraska (Meylan vs. Bahl)

So tech decided to go to Austin and college station this season?  Was this after they bought their pitching machine and thought they’d demonstrate superiority?

I’m guessing Glasco’s philosophy was to go play legit competition with your new legit pitcher bc you need those wins if you want to host a regional and maybe a super.  Top teams aren’t going to to that Cracker Jack park in Lubbock.

Or be severely overestimated both the pitching behind NC and the offensive players who brought from ULL. 

But he did routinely play good non-conf competition at ULL

Well so far so good. Lost to unt and Idaho st but at least they…also lost to Texas.  Maybe they can beat aggy.  Games are back to back days so who knows who will pitch for either side on Sunday.

Hey they also lost to MSST! 

But they did beat a ranked Nebraska and Indiana x2 (receiving votes)

That 16-5 record looks really crappy when you realize they lost to MSST, Texas x2, UNT, Idaho State. 

They play TXST, aggy x2 and a weekend series with SoCar.  Their hosting chances are going to come down to what they can do against OKST (home) and Arizona (road).  3-3 may be not be enough there, because they'd likely need to sweep their other 18 Big 12 games.

Mean Green up 5-0 on Baylor in the 2nd 

OKST beat Bahl and Nebraska, 1-0, but are down 0-3 to Mizzou right now in the 3rd

Mac gave up a leadoff hit, but gets out of it. 0-0 mid 1st.

Couple of ground balls and the line out. Fielded that ball right to her perfectly

Soft grounders should not be getting through when Mac is pitching. Defense knows she’s a ground ball pitcher

… and the RF throw to the plate allowing the hitter to go to 2B.

We suck today on the mound

I just don’t think we are as good as a pitching staff as we thought. Including me.

Texas needs to get at least 2 this inning or USF is going to run-rule us.

They have all the momentum
