Still surprising they received 82% of the vote with a new head coach.

They have by far the best roster in college baseball. They returned basically an entire team who was in the CWS finals last year.

It would be a bit of a movie ending if they win after being runner up and losing their coach to a rival. I am really looking forward to the baseball season. Have always felt like Texas is a better fit in the SEC for baseball. The SEC is a conference that has great baseball history and thus it actually matters.

No doubt about it. And Texas has a great program with great winning tradition. It's a tough league but the level of play is very enjoyable to watch.

Welcome and good luck to y'all this season.

In other words, if Texas A&M doesn’t win this year, they’ll never win anything ever

I guess it's better to have this expectation than not, but the pressure is on. No excuses. Natty or bust.

Should be fun to watch when Schloss goes back to Blue Bell Park.



Gotta wait to 2026 for that.

Injuries have fricked them and if they keep batting sub .200 hitters in the 4-5-6 slot they certainly will not.
