It's a non-issue for anyone who isn't paranoid.

Would I want a sports body to have the ability to make a ruling on trans eligibility? Sure. But something that should be happening at the sports body level. This issue should be handled with one off lawsuits at most, not some hammer that profits off of demonizing kids who have troubles to begin with.

It has nothing to do with being "paranoid". The likelihood of my daughter pitching against a biological male is virtually zero while she's in school in Texas.

We do agree that the lawsuits that have been required to protect the definitions of scientific terms , "male" and "female" (which since the dawn of time has required little more than common sense until this latest push by liberal extremists) has resulted in an extreme suck of time, resources, and money.

Most people in this country have a live and let live mentality. If anyone feels they are being "demonized" it is due to a small group of liberals trying to force feed a completely illogical agenda to a majority of us who prefer logic and common sense. And by the way it's not the gay community; the gays I've spoken to resent being looped in to this whole discussion, and agree that it is both insane and criminal to give a hormone-changing therapy, let a biological male into a female restroom, or let a man play women's sports.

I feel for any kid or family who is having to deal with this, but it doesn't mean they have the right to impose this onto society, nor is it right to "demonize" those who may hold viewpoints that differ from their own.

Imagine how full of pus your brain has to be to get fired up about this issue.

Spoken like someone who doesn’t have a daughter, much less a daughter that plays sports.

The issue isn’t “it’s only 10 people in the country we’re talking about.” It’s the principle and the proverbial slippery slope.

And if your daughter was one of the 10 that lost a roster spot, or worse, a scholarship to a biological male, I guarantee you would feel differently. Unless of course your head is full of puss.

It’s been a fun ride but I agree that it may not be sustainable in postseason minus our ace.

Flip side is that this was supposed to be a rebuilding year so regardless it f what happens it was a hell of a season and the future looks bright.

Yep, and Aggy was threatening in every top of 9th. Great series, just glad the good guys won.

Hey Tennessee looks like you left a batting helmet at second base…

Good game last night Ags.

All this coaching talk is ridiculously hilarious. Coaches leave all the time for what they perceive to be a better opportunity for them, for a multitude of personal reasons.

Schloss and CDC had a lot of history and were friends. I do wish CDC had waited 72 hours or so after the CWS to make the move on Schloss. The optics just looked bad. I don’t blame Schloss for this but CDC. If I was an Ag I would’ve been pissed as well and would’ve had a lot of questions.

The claims that Schloss tried to lose the CWC are preposterous. As for his character, I don’t know him, but I do take all the back room “stories” with a grain of salt. A lot of people just like to present themselves as more important than they are and things can get skewed fast. But it’s fairly well-documented that Schloss and the AD had had some discussions and that there was at least some level of tension.

Undisputed is that Schloss is a hell of a coach and I’m glad he’s on our side.

This Aggie baseball team is getting better as the season progresses.

Very true. Easily the biggest swing of the year by any team, from 1st to the gutter and now rising like a phoenix.

From an Ags perspective what do you think has changed from first half to second half? Pitching showing up, hitting better, etc?

It should be a fun weekend. I expect A&M to be a little extra motivated (for obvious reasons) this weekend.

Yeah we saw how that worked out for them at Kyle Field last Nov.

Their eternal "burning desire to beat" Texas has always been amusing.

If only there was a crystal ball or time travel machine where the schedule makers, a year or so ago, could’ve seen which teams would suck and which were good.

Texas strength of schedule is ranked 24th, which is about middle of the pack for SEC teams (see Nolan RPI rankings for full list).

Horns have beaten 4 top 10 teams and had 4 sweeps in SEC play, including Miss St on the road; maybe not their year but still a damned good program. And a sweep is tough regardless of who you’re playing (Missouri being lone exception).

Lots of baseball left to though with tough series vs aggy and Arkansas. But in the meantime not apologizing for schedule.

Wait till both are good. If that ever happens again.

This.

I’ll also say that if you ask anyone outside the SEC the question of “best rivalry” that Texas-OU would easily be top 5 if not top 3 that comes to mind.

I think Iron Bowl is top 5 but just not sure other SEC rivalries come to mind as much as Ohio State-Michigan, etc.

I also think this is somewhat cyclical. There was no rivalry people looked forward to more than FSU-Miami back in the Bowden days when both were top 5.

I’d say the problem w SEC rivalries at this moment is that none are between top 10 programs. Texas-GA was closest thing to that this year.

But from a newbie perspective my vote would be Iron Bowl just because of recent history.
