quote:Should be a fun weekend for some good baseball.
Look forward to a great series this weekend, Horns.
This will be a good measuring stick for both teams, and I think it will be very fun to watch. Welcome to the SEC.
Hoping we get a decent LSU contingent to show up and root for the Tigers.
Wind from the south right now ~ 20 mph (towards left field), should die down to ~ 10 mph at game time, Temp in mid 70's.

They didn’t co-exist together just from the few games I watched of them in the SEC tourney and tonight
Having one guy work the ball inside, while the other 4 stand and watch, and when the defense collapses on the ball in the shadow of the rim (Surprise! Surprise!), throw up a prayer shot and hope it goes in.
The unstoppable 1st half offense compared to the last 5 minutes of the game was everything you need to know about Rodney Terry.
What a waste of the talent he had.

... we pushed Mack out early, possibly Herman (although Sark has exceeded expectations but in the moment Herman deserved another year) and definitely pushed Barnes out, he is the most egregious of the 3.
Texas basketball was made by Barnes, Abe Lemmons and a little bit Tom Penders but other than that we really dont have a ton of history so pushing Rick out was silly and it bit us with Shakas terrible tenure.

Moving Barnes out was the right choice, Shaka Smart wasn't.
Texas basketball was Abe Lemons, Penders and Barnes. Lemons recruited kids from LA and NY, and won the NIT when the NCAA was a 32 team tournament. Penders took it a step higher, and Barnes built on that. After early success, Barnes couldn't get out of the first round with a constant parade of 1 and dones and died a slow death. Since Abe, Texas has 31 NCAA Tournament appearances and 11 Sweet 16s.
Texas is not in the basketball elite, but it has been very respectable for a football school.
Early Mack is what Texas needed. Later Mack was the worst kind of cancer. He retired in place and left Texas in a horrible situation, leading to the worst period in the history of Texas Football. Herman was an egotistical clown and only looked good when compared to Charlie Strong.

Is LSU the MiG 25 Foxbat of College Sports?
Posted by Ptins944 on 2/22/25 at 12:33 pm
The Mig-25 Foxbat was the highest flying (125,000 ft), and one of the fastest airplanes (Mach 3.2) ever built. The planes high performance capabilities was such that the engines and airframes had to be replaced/repaired after only a few flights and the planes were de-rated to a lower performance to stay operational.
Seems like LSU pushes all their chips in the middle for a mad dash to the top, only to have a long descent back to where they started, until they can save and cheat and build and steal their way back for another sprint.

Why are UTrans fans pretending they’re not replacing their starting QB, best RB, best two WRs, starting TE and 4/5 starting OL?
Not to mention all of the upperclassmen on defense that left.
The NFL Combine invited 14 Texas players from 2024 team.
Texas will have more talent on the field in 2025 than last year.
Texas' RS Freshman back up LT replaced an injured Kelvin Banks and had an NFL grade against the vaunted A&M DL that had 3 NFL players on it.

re: Serious question about college sports team(s) - rankings
Posted by Ptins944 on 2/22/25 at 11:34 am
Not sure about overlapping rankings of the sports during mid season ...
In 2022, Texas won 4 NCAA National Championships and was the runner up in 6 other sports. They also went to the CWS that year.
10 Top 2 finishes in one year is pretty special.

You are right - Texas is just racking up points in the middle. That's how championships are won. Win the relays + 2-3 scorers in most events and you are hard to beat.

re: No Texas Spring Game

quote:Most of the schools want to cancel the game because they don't have enough players for it.
Looks like Texas is moving to a Pro Model. I assume everyone else will follow suit.
Eh. More and more schools have canceled their spring game so it isn't a Texas thing.
The conspiracy theory on it is that schools don't want to let other teams see a player that may be second string and then get approached to transfer during the spring portal.
85 scholarships minus 10/15 graduates minus 30 outgoing transfers plus a few early enrollees doesn't leave enough for two 2-deep squads.
Of the 25 HS players Texas signed, 21 are already enrolled and on campus. Numbers aren't the issue.
Arch's backup is a Stud. No reason to showcase that to the uneducated.

re: Theoretically, could any university in Texas embroider a lone "Texas" on their uniforms?
Posted by Ptins944 on 2/16/25 at 1:36 pm
quote:"...they're the least Texan of us all."
The school in Austin thinks they're the Arbiter of the state, when in reality they're the least Texan of us all.
I'm a Spanish Land Grant descendant, 8th generation Texan, born to parents that were born in the country in central Texas and went to Austin High School. Like many Texan's from rural areas, I am a first generation college graduate.
There are also families that have produced generations of graduates from UT since its inception.
What else you got?
I also know the University of Texas was created by the Texas Constitution.
quote:The University was not built until later, primarily because the Republic of Texas and the State of Texas had limited resources, choosing protection, among other things, as Austin was on the edge of the frontier, in Comanche territory. The University of Texas officially opened its doors on September 15, 1883, on a 40 acre site within a mile of the State Capitol.
On February 11, 1858, the University Bill became law.
The following branches were to be taught in The University of Texas: ancient and modern languages, mathematics, natural philosophy , chemistry, mineralogy (including geology), agriculture, botany, anatomy, surgery and medicine, zoology, history, ethics, rhetoric, belles-lettres, civil government and political economy, the law of nations, municipal law, and the laws of nature.
Religious tenets for admission and sectarian instruction in The University of Texas were forbidden
The Agricultural and Mechanical College of Texas was created by a Federal law that provided for A&M colleges across the country following the Civil War. This A&M "branch of the University of Texas" was built on donated land that had a railroad across it, ~ 100 miles from Austin & Houston.
Considering The University of Texas manages the state lands, wealth fund, and resources of both UT and A&M (~ $63 Billion), it does have some level of authority and management in the state.
