12 titles in 21 appearances is crazy efficient for that high of a number of visits.

College baseball was a totally different animal back then. It's a different sport altogether. It's SOOO much more competitive now. These are their titles:

1958 National Championship
1961 National Championship
1963 National Championship
1968 National Championship
1970 National Championship
1971 National Championship
1972 National Championship
1973 National Championship
1974 National Championship
1978 National Championship

You are partially correct, sir. Different, but easier.

The CWS used to be a single, 8 team, double elimination tournament, that sometimes required 5 games in 6 days. The premium was always on pitching, a deep PITCHING STAFF, not just 2 starters, and surprise surprise, the University of Southern F*cking California dominated the sport.

And then, air conditioning came to the south, and people started living here, on purpose.

Now, it is a made for TV tournament, with two, 4 team tournaments, with a day of rest in between, and a 2 out of 3 final. A team with 2 stud starters and a couple of relievers can win the tournament.

Riddle me this?

Who is the last team before Texas to have a 5 game lead with 9 to play?

Bonus question;
Besides Texas, what other teams won the SEC Baseball Championship in their 1st season in the SEC?

I’ll hang up and listen.

Didn’t read, but if you truly believe Sark went from 5-7 and 8-5 in his first two years to consecutive CFPs all because of “development”, I have a beautiful oceanfront property in Beaumont that you need to check out

Sark never even had a 10-win season on his resume until legalized pay-for-play

Recruiting & Develoment.

Texas lost a 5* RB the day before signing day because of Herman’s antics.

Tom Herman left Sark a team w/ 14 WR & 8ish OL. That would be big slow receivers with a large catch radius.

Sarks 1st year, there were 0 players drafted. He signed 7 OL his first year, pre NIL, and 2 are in the NFL after 3 years at Texas.

Texas has back to back years of double digit NFL Picks. 4 DL (Herman’s 3-5 stars recruits, Sarks & Texas development), 5 WR, 4 RB in 3 years. Next year will be better. Most of them were at Texas pre NIL.

Go read the narrative of Texas rookies in NFL training camps.”Developed, mature, work ethic,”

James Worthy & Matthew Golden we’re the fastest players in football. Patrick Mahomes & Jordan Love were pleasantly surprised how good they were when they got there: precise route runners, high football IQ. Matthew Golden wouldn’t have been a 1st Round draft choice if he stayed at Houston.

James Worthy had an interview where he knew what offense every NFL team ran, the QB, and their WRs. Every few teams “ yeah, they run the same offense WE do.”

Think what you want. It wont matter.

I imagine the Texas Rangers took them from another job at gun point.

Move the game to another venue? No fricking way.

Good job Pokes! I am a little jelly of all your golf championships. Y’all have a hell of a program!

It is a bit ironic that the the top golf school historically is an Ag college in the middle of Oklahoma.

You'd think that some elitist rich kid's school or at least a school where the weather is good year round.

OSU has been able to stay at the top for six decades in a sport that is pretty fickle.

I lived in central Oklahoma for 3 years and played golf 3x a week.

I played at Pete Dye's Oak Tree course once a month. In the 1988 PGA Championship there, Jack Nicholas made an 11 on a par 5, and Fuzzy Zoeller a 7 on a par three.

If you can play in winds that constantly blow 20-25 MPH, you can pretty much play anywhere.

I dunno, it didn't kill college football.

All I know is I'm glued to the games. I just can't believe the athleticism. SportsCenter type plays are made routinely in the field.

It really is entertaining. And the games are extremely fast-paced. Much faster than baseball. It's almost like arena football in comparison to regular football.

Maybe that's a bad comparison, but it's the one I came up with off the top of my head.

---

it is a great sport.

The Liberty RF catch and the rocket throw home for a sweeping catch and tag reminded of Roberto Clemente. I haven’t said that in decades.

Big difference, in Softball the good hitters swing the bat and deliver instead of watching called 3rd strikes.

And the enthusiasm in the dugout is fun to watch.

A&M had plenty of time and an athletic director to make this hire

You may want to familiarize yourself with the baseball portal dates before you show your ignorance again.

A&M had 1 day less than Texas to move forward.

Alberts knew Scholss was probably on his way out, given Albert's moves in the Athletic Department that Schloss didn't know about or agree with. If A&M was caught flat footed, that's on A&M.

I’m with Texas on this. frick a Sunday night game. For traveling fans it sucks.

---

This.

A Sunday night away game totally fricks up the normal weekly schedule.

Getting home Saturday night v. Monday morning is a no brainer.

Watching, not there.

Looks like a nice facility. Spacious and pitcher friendly. Cool seeing all the kids.

Looks like a good set up for RV’s.

Baseball Park’s have a wall in the outfield. Hard Stop!

How can you expect a CF running full speed into the power alley and throwing his body high in the air robbing a home run, with only a hefty bag between him and who knows what? Trust me? frick that!!!

Not the best back drop for the best baseball in the country.
