Baseball is a fickle mistress, for sure.

2024 really good aggy drops the final two out of three to Tennessee to lose the CWS Final. 

2025 shitty aggy wins the final two against #1 Tennessee in games that weren’t even close. And in the game aggy lost, they got run ruled while Prager, their best starting pitcher, started and lost.

Augie would say that about baseball, too-- something along the lines of "the baseball gods are weird."

It's funny that I don't remember Coach Gus saying any version of that.

We just had no idea what we were getting into sumthin sumthin...

I'm really enjoying the "Texas is not in with the SEC, the SEC is in with Texas" narrative.

We have Georgia, LSU, and Arkansas. Nothing easy about our schedule.

It’s the common refrain from the mouth breather crowd when Texas does well. I’ve seen it many times about this years baseball team already.

5-1 against that schedule so far.

OK, I find it ridiculous that they couldn't find one game of three between Texas and Georgia to put on the actual SEC Network.  Another game on the + app, yay.

I guess the television schedule was made up before the season started and had announcers already for these games.

Could they change this schedule if they wanted to?

Don't know, would have to ask them.

Sure, but failing to anticipate Texas v Georgia might be a compelling matchup seems pretty lame.

It was the preseason teams picked 6th and 8th. I don’t think it was that compelling

I don't think they thought Texas would be this good this season, just like they didn't think Aggy would be this bad.

I would hope they could be a little flexible on a few games.

Counterpoint:  HUGE Texas v Georgia battles in other sports over the past few years, plus they're two of the three marquee schools in the conference.

It was dumb.  Let's not slice it too fine.

What entity would they be beholden to, to have this tier 3 content that they have all the rights to be locked in with no flexibility?

I think they just want to lock in all the logistics ahead of time and don't care enough to put extra money and effort into being flexible.

Seems very reasonable to me, and better for ratings.

Again, I guess you have to go to the source to find out.

Thes are all entities of ESPN and owned by Disney.

They may very well not care, but they do have the funds, that I don't think would be missed that much.

It’s pretty simple to find the game for anyone with half a brain so I doubt viewership suffered enough for them to care.

Two of the three marquee schools in the conference?

marquee /mär-kē′/
  1. A large tent, often with open sides, used chiefly for outdoor entertainment.
  2. A rooflike structure, often bearing a signboard, projecting over an entrance, as to a theater or hotel.
  3. A large field tent; esp., one adapted to the use of an officer of high rank.

 

First, don't ever compare Texas to those flea bags again.  Second, I have no idea what you meant by it.

Third, To Hell With Georgia.

So, was aggys series a fluke or will they win the series against the pigs before they play us too?

I didn't watch any of the games. Was that just a complete off night for the vols?

I didn’t watch either, but sometimes a roster that talented overcomes shitty coaching. It’s obviously not sustainable though.

For one of the few times this year the Aggy offense exploded in the last two games.

They had several homers and extra base hits. They won the first game of the DH 9-3 and the second game on a run rule 17-6.

The first game Aggy got shutout and run ruled 10-0.

It's baseball, who knows, stay tuned.

Yea, we'll find out after their series with the pigs next weekend.

LSU will probably be third and Tennessee either fourth or fifth.

SEC playing musical chairs at the top of the ratings with a few outlanders.

Arkansas, Texas, Clemson, and UCLA (#14) are the only teams who have yet to lose a series this year.  I would expect the top 5 to look like this based on how D1Baseball generally rewards teams for taking care of business on the weekend

#1 Arkansas

#2 Texas

#3 Clemson

#4 LSU

#5 Tennessee
