re: Why does Texas play on Astroturf?

Really just says it all about their culture.
Sure some hardcore athletic supporters want it, but the vast majority of the people at the university are weirdos and libtards who would pitch a fit at such unnecessary expenditures, at best they would just never care.

What about Troy?
What are you talking about? Makes perfect sense, they are poor.
Great decision to spend more on other things like NIL.
LOL Men's SEC football, basketball, and baseball aren't going anywhere and will do nothing but get larger and more intense for the foreseeable future.
Just at Auburn:
Record attendance at the baseball games, new seating along the first base line, seats on the WE monster. Every game viewable by fans.
Football new north end zone.
Even if you just watch on TV, you are feeding the beast. Big donors will always be there.
Other sports will not survive.
Not that any of this is virtuous, but it is big entertainment.

The rankings and the seedings seem a little bit gimmicky or misguided to this bandwagon Auburn baseball supporter. I guess you have to do it somehow though. We seem to be a bit inflated or more in line with other teams.
To me, good luck finding a difference between teams 3 - 11 in the conference.
I say gimmicky because we seem to have gotten lot of benefit from playing our normal midweek home and home with Tech. Whipped them once and also got whipped. Really says nothing. Laid eggs vs Texas, UGA, and UA.
This makes it a little easier to take, but going 0 for 4 in two years having finally gotten the supers at home, dayum that sucks. Also really, really sucks pretty much knowing UGA or Texas will have a cake walk to the national title - but they are both good enough and deserving.

I know you said tee shirt, but just in case, AU team shop has the replica jerseys. Only $170. :rotflmao:
The design is sweet though, along with the pinstripes.

I bet Hobart and Cohen want this series bad.

Thanks, guys. Refreshing.

Not the best fit fit, but they have worked to make strides - with the serious upgrades to the stadium. Really should have just built a new one though because without lowering the field to bring the seats closer, will always look like a Big 8 stadium, to some dregree. Need to do something with baseball as soon as feasible. Simply not acceptable.
Objectively, they are ahead of Ole Miss and Vandy in that they have shown they can make the championship game.
Kentucky not mentioned due to being a basketball powerhouse.
Also they serve to bring Arkansas back to reality as a comparison point.

Embarrassing - giving up seats in the lower level.

re: The golf team shirts? How to order?

Slim fit and Euro fit sent er'thing into chaos.
I'm still going with XL no matter what and I look like what I look like.
Also, never ever pay full price for anything Peter Millar. Always 30% and then 50% off stating in Mid July and Mid January.

They could take my money for one of those hats with the swinging Aubie and the SEC logo on the side. Pretty sweet.

First glance, I was coming here to say it looked liked a Nike golf logo also.
Yeah after watching the NCAA video, you can clearly see that it is the Nike golf logo.
Must not work out for Nike to fill the bookstores with this apparel. To be fair I'm huge Auburn and golf, and I really don't like sporting all AU gear on the course.
quote:
The orange shirts the five players were wearing had some type of a shield logo at the cuff of the left sleeve, but I couldn't make out what was inside the shield.
I can't see it in detail, but it sure seems to be a Nike golf logo (google nike golf logo to get a good look).
I can't see that it would make any sense to wear anything but Nike.
This isn't Russell athletic with New Balance cleats - what an embarrasment.

Super regional first two game times set. 7 and 4 ct. 3rd game TBD if needed
Fri and Sat - great times.
UGA got noon or 1 on Sat and Sun probably considered the better time as far as more viewers but.... as far as SEC fans....
:rotflmao: :doublebird:
Simply couldn't have a better or more doable path to the final championship series.
Just win a home series against Ole Miss (will be a battle) and I got a good feeling about this.
UNC is obviously formidable, but we have the #2 big 12 team (as opposed to Kansas), and it looks to me like the other big name - USC - is trash. They got trounced by UCLA and Nebraska.

Mediocre crowd at a pretty new ball park at UF, watching them get beat by Troy. I'm sure first pitch time had something to do with it. WDE.

No worries, the football stadium had to be brought up-to-par. You're just playing 20 or 30 years of catch up.
