I’ve come to face we’re a good team, damn near top 5 but we’re not elite or great. 
 

but again i dnt think anyone is elite so maybe we can still win late. But yea , we need a new pitching coach 

To be champs, we must improve in all areas. Pitching. Hitting. Defense. Coaching. Regardless of what any other program does. 

White's an elite HC. Record says so. Question is, do he and his assistants have the single-minded drive to win a title in Austin? Or are they content with remaining little sister...being ranked and just getting to OKC? So far, I really can't tell. I just know I'm not satisfied with being a "perennial Top 10" program if we never win it all.

This team ain't it.  Of course I said that in 2022 and we made it to the national championship.

But I just don't see it.  I'm not even sure we make it to OKC this year.  I thought MW was a bit complacent this year in recruiting/portalling.  The entire back half of our lineup really needed an upgrade.  And our pitching is a real fucking head scratcher.  We just don't have it this year.  Maybe we'll get another post season miracle. 

Gasso is the GOAT.  She just reloads.

This team fucking sucks.  We have no business being on the top 8 teams.  Mike White needs to hire new assistant coaches. 
 

This free fall is a huge embarrassment and unacceptable.

Yep. This team's issues run deeper than Vivi's absence. Even when she's back next year, she won't replace the lost production of Mia Scott. Mike White needs to get some bats in the portal and a reliable #2 pitcher behind Kavan so theres not a major dropoff.

Mike White's time so far at Texas reminds me of Mack Brown's tenure here. Both coaches fielded great teams at their peaks but had OU as their arch nemeses. Only the superman could get Mack over the hump. Who is going to be Coach White's superwoman?

Not to be all sky-is-falling, but we need to prepare ourselves for a possible TK backslide next year.  Hannah Wells better be the real deal.  

I don't think she will backslide.  she just is what she is at this point. she is a very very good pitcher, and it is a real good thing we have her, just not great.   not enough velocity and location is not elite.

With the way trends are going!! Every pitcher has regressed or stayed the sa
