I actually think the grass may have played a small role here.. he has played on bouncy turf all but 3 games so far this season and was probably used to a bigger bounce on a ball like that.. the advantage at home goes the other way on grass no excuse for it, but maybe true
In the parts of the 3 games I saw, there were 3 “hits” on balls that took a funny bounce or the player slipped on the grass.
That’s baseball.

Don't speak for me or other Texas fans, you dick.
since you clearly struggle with reading comprehension I'll try to help you out. Re-read what I posted carefully. You'll notice a comment about being happy for the fans who do love basketball. You seem to be overly sensitive. Were you an only child? Let me guess, you get upset when opposing fans do the horns down, don't you? Be honest. God I hope you didn't actually graduate from Texas.
You said “We don’t care…”, and then qualified it to say “I don’t” care…”
Those are two very different statements.
Most Texas fans support any team that represents the University. Period.
Don’t pretend to represent the many just because you don’t.

WHO were the 2 announcers on secn+ for this series ? The constant inane babble from both was fingernail on chalk board irritating. Actually the Auburn homer was less plug your ears than the Texas homer
I think the home team provides the announcers for each series, but I may be wrong. I don’t know who they were, but I don’t think any of them were Texas guys.
He has a good understanding of college baseball history, and he appreciates and knows the history of Texas baseball.
I enjoy the quality of the SEC top to bottom, but I get tired or hearing how much harderTexas has it now.
Pitching and defense always works. And you still only play one game at a time.
Wow! That warning track power.

Does anyone else just see Union v. Confederates?
And good god, I'm glad my home state is Maryland.
"The Morrill Act of 1862 ...stipulated these funds be used ... to teach such branches of learning as are related to agriculture and the mechanic arts ..."
The Federal Government wanted those states to be farmers and mechanics. Some states took the handout from the Federal Government, and that is where it ended.
Some states, including Texas, wanted to offer their citizens a broader, liberal arts education, that included business, medicine and law.
The University of Texas was provided for in the State Constitution, but the State of Texas never had any money.
A&M was created as a branch of UT, and was was opened to meet the deadlines established by the Federal Government.
The 1876 Texas Constitution established The University of Texas, directing the Legislature to create a "university of the first class". It authorized the creation of the Permanent University Fund (PUF) through land grants (2+ million acres) in West Texas (Permian Basin), which supports the UT (67%) and Texas A&M (33%) systems

He was depth at A&M and will be depth at Texas. The transfers that start have game experience.

2026 Texas Transfer Portal, Link goes to an interactive map for Texas transfer players in and out. The article only talks about the defense. Muschamp got the kind of players he wanted.
Texas Transfer Portal
Hated to lose some of the the guys, but they made their choices. All but 1 transfer out found a new home, a RB who left the team for personal reasons, and might have quit playing football.
Some will get more playing time, but whether or not it was the best long term move,... we'll see. Trey Wisner's best 4 games at Texas were against OU & A&M. He was a Texas kid who had free food and drinks in Austin for life, and walked away from it, to end up at Florida State.
The days of signing 3 high end high school WR's in 1 year are over. But, the good news is the monies saved by having non-starters leaving opened the door for some older, experienced incoming transfers.

I miss seeing both of those matchups.
I guess there isn't anything to gain from scheduling it though?
There is no real benefit for playing them. Texas recruiting is the I-35 corridor (Denton-Dallas- Austin-San Antonio) and points east. No where near the number of D1 players west of that.
TTech stadium is small v. DKR & Kyle, ~ 60,000.
Since 1995, Texas is 22-7 v. TTech, 75.9%, 12-3 in Austin, 10-4 in Lubbock
Since 1995, A&M is 6-11 v TTech, 35.3%. 4-4 in College Station, 2-7 in Lubbock
One is not like the other.

Both are just looking at players rating without consideration about the other player attributes.
They equate:
1. A 4* JR LT w/ a .92 rating that is a 2 year starter, and
2. A 4* FR TE w/ a .92 rating that played 47 snaps in 6 games.
One is a fully developed player in a contract year heading to the NFL and the other needs to gain 35 lbs in the next 2 years to increase his chances of going to the NFL.
They are not equal.

The level of shenanigans and paying within the SEC was at the institutional level, embraced by the member universities themselves.

The days of paying big money for HS developmental players has ended. If you can't make significant contributions as a freshman, you're not getting paid.
Most of these schools will have less than 85 scholarship players. No way they're going to pay for 105, only to have 20-30 leave every year.

quote:It will end much worse for Demond than either Washington or LSU. He may not get to play for either of them if this goes to court.
Pushing this will end up worse for Washington than LSU.
Too bad they can’t legally do that.
If he owes money back to Washington, LSU will just pay it. Since he signed a few days ago, he may not have gotten anything. Maybe some type of signing bonus.
A court preventing him from playing is fairy tale.
The BIG has standardized language in their NIL agreements and is apparently standing behind Washington's position.
Washington has a valid contract which covers his NIL. He cannot market those same NIL rights to another party without violating the existing contract, or Washington lets him out of the contract, which they aren't doing. IF LSU's actions prevents him from performing under the Washington contract, that is on LSU.

I just read a post from the Ohio State board. They are seeing the same thing Texas is. The high caliber recruits from last year that did not make meaningful contributions this year are not going to get a raise.
At the same time, those guys not delivering means going to the portal to find someone who can. We had some guys start in the bowl game for the 1st time and play well, and they want similar money to the guys heading to the NFL.
Georgia, LSU, Alabama, Ohio State, etc. have all had high valued starters enter the portal. Texas hasn't lost a starter to the portal yet. PL only started because the transfer WR in front of him was hurt at the beginning of the year. He knew Texas was looking for 2 proven WR and he bailed.
Backfilling through the portal has been disappointing so far. Texas has not been "outbid" by anybody yet. We did not get 4 of the top 5 targets because those players ended up staying with their original teams. Coleman is the 5th.
As is always the case, there are a lot of chucklefricks on the boards, many more now that the season is over.

He was offered more than last year and allegedly told he would be getting less playing time (not starting). He does a lot of things good, but nothing he does is really elite. He was a day 1 starter because Mosley, the #1 transfer, missed the first 4 games.
Most people were surprised when his happened.
