With 18 HR surrendered, more than any other team, it looks like it's gorilla ball for your opposition too.
No lies detected. We are going to win with the HR or die by it one way or the other.

This is why we can’t have nice things.
Its gorilla ball or bust for us this year.

I believe Doug Flutie executed the last drop kick in the NFL about 15-20 years or so ago.
FG kickers are getting good enough so a fair catch on a really windy day could wind up within their range.

Just saw the score. Wth is going on?
Hoping Florida can pull one out this weekend.
Lol.. obvious reach in... announcer: "walk"
Just stfu asshats.
Ready for this one to end before I vomit. These announcers keep trying to will Kentucky to a win.
How is that LSU batting average holding out?
Well, OU can still say someone has scored 10 or more runs in all their games.

There is definitely a drop off with assistant coaches.
One thing SchlossDongle did well was hire good assistants.
I'm not really impressed by our staff.
Ok, so which assistant is the problem. As far as I know, there are only 2 left from last year. The pitching coach and Claunch.
He fired the hitting coach from last year and replaced him with himself. As far as I can tell, Pennington is nails and may be the best actual coach on the staff.
Last year had two major issues. First were the injuries. That was just a snake bitten year and that team was missing players pretty much the entire year. Second was hitting. That seems to be in better order except for the undisciplined first two games against Penn. But there was good discipline with the stick in that third game.
Pitching staff seems to be looking good and gaining confidence. Pennington has cleaned up the defense greatly. We get consistently disciplined at the plate and we will be fine.
I am withholding judgement until midway through the SEC schedule.
re: Never knew UTrans copied A&M and also had Yell Leaders…

Wow, just wait until OP figures out that nearly every school had Yell Leaders prior to WWII.
Even more mind blowing is the USC Songbirds were formed in 1967. Before that ALL cheer groups at USC were men.

A&M baseball has lost a lot and it is still early. Injuries all over the lineup
WTH are you talking about? We lost 1 pitcher before the season started and have 2 guys out today with minor injuries who will likely be back by next weekend.
Florida would get it. Georgia is accurate. I live in the ATL area and can vouch.

Posted by cjohn on 2/4/26 at 9:19 am to Summer of Jimbo
I knew A&M has several, but I would have guessed Texas would be right there with them. Legitimately surprised.
We gonna lose a few and are a dangerous team, but we are playing with house money now.
re: What benefits did SEC get by going to 9 conference games?

1. If you go to 9 conf games, did SEC gain additional dollar commitment from ESPN?
Yes. It'll equate to about $5 million more per SEC school. Seems like it should be significantly more though. This is where the SEC/Sankey dropped the ball.
So just to put it in a better light...
Let's assume each team is having to give away a home game against a directional school for this. However, half of the teams get a home game because they are hosting a conference game instead. So that is a net .5 game loss per school in the conference (ie, 1 game every other year).
Schools with large stadiums make somewhere between $8M and $12M on ticket sales alone, not counting concessions or parking. So that means those teams lose between $4M and $6M on an annualized basis on tickets alone. ESPN is basically just making up for ticket sales for the big boys.
However, the big boys lose out on .5 game per year of parking, concessions and the towns lose .5 game a year of hotels.
It just does not make financial sense in any way.
