Lot of hypotheticals there. Maybe we can cut off South Carolina's and Florida's last 20 years too and bring them in to this


There was one hypothetical which was the last part of my statement. Arkansas and A&M were pretty much identical as far as program success up until you hired Van Horn and committed to baseball. Starting facility upgrades doesn’t move you up the latter and overcome lack luster results on the field.

Arkansas is very much a better baseball program then A&M now, what I am pointing out is that all the things you are clowning them for trying to get better at, letting go of a tenured regionally successful coach with little National success, upgrade facilities to try and elevate the program to new heights, very much describes what Arkansas was doing in the late ‘90s early ‘00s.

Same could be said about any program with recent success that had little to no success prior. Never said erase the history, you said that, but that history has to have a start date.

Is DVH right about Texas A&M? I can’t imagine a top coach wanting to go into that kinda environment.


DVH is completely right. Aggie doesn't want to put the effort in to build a championship program, they think they can just buy it.

Damn few here think Texass when we see "UT". It's a typical display of Texass arrogance.
Or - and bear with me here without blowing your lid for the third time - he was responding to a longhorn fan while talking about "UT" and the Texas baseball program in the same post? It's not a hard concept. Yet somehow you've succeeded in taking it extremely personally.

Nor do we want to hear you and some Aggie yank on each other's dick about Big12 shite.
Agreed? Which is why we're talking about each other's respective baseball program and the big 12 has not been mentioned whatsoever? Literally nobody mentioned the big 12 until you did in your last few posts.

Arkansas left your shite conference, because we didn't want anything to do with your arrogant, cheating asses. You have to figure aTm and Mizzou got the hell away from you retards for the same reason, don't you?
Lol I had no idea that Texas was this cheating program and that's how they got to Omaha all of those years. That's going to be a bummer when word of this reaches our fans that all of our accolades are for not

It seems like you've got a lot more things at play and hostility harbored beyond this thread and my posts herein. Maybe just step away and take a few deep breaths.

His contract expired, it wasn't renewed. If he'd been a little more successful in post season play he'd still be there, but getting dumped out practically every year is a trend you can't ignore.

You can't build a foundation for a great program on a coach who is continually losing when it matters. If it happens now and again, that may be on the team and the players. When it happens consistently, that's on the coach.

I no longer believe you're real. Especially with your avatar pic that falls into 2021's 'most punchable faces' top five. The fact that Texag7, aka Daniel Bag of Figs chimed in to have your back makes me want to think y'all are friends. Both of your faces rank in the top five, and it's been a really tough year so far.

I forgot how sensitive you ladies are. I'll try to tone it down, to preserve you fee fees.

One of your respective baseball programs is in the Texas12. I'll let you figure out which one.

Well now you know, and pass the word. I grew up watching SWC games, and the SWC officials were fair on about the same level as today's propaganda media being fair to conservatives. It was constant, egregious, and sadly transferrable to whatever Texass team we were playing, when Texass couldn't get it done against the Hogs.

Now you're starting to get it. The younger crowd around here cannot begin to understand why it is that the mere sight of a babyshit orange Texass logo makes us old fogies want to puke. But they didn't sit through decades of watching wins be handed to you ten gallon assholes by SWC officials, did they?

Regardless, I'll consider it victory if the next time you see someone on an SEC message board use "UT", you consider for just a second that they might be talking about the other team that wears shitty orange uniforms.

Love you, miss you, bye.

Big talk from fans of a program that has never won shite.

Imagine making this excuse when:

football record: 22-56
baseball record: 38-76

No wonder you have to blame cheating. I'd grasp for as many straws as possible if our record against a regional opponent was that bad.

So you agree: nobody brought up that conference until you did (as you have done again) all in a pent up rage over what? Your harbored hatred of Texas (super cute spelling in your post by the way) and their success on the diamond?

Sorry for your resentment you possess. Life is too short to live it this angry. For your troubles:



Get back to me when you get 6 of those^^^

Until then, enjoy avoiding that sunburn in the massive shadow we have always cast over you
