I’ll bet you were wishing Texas hadn’t left the Big 12 last weekend.

Reminds us of A&M.

Aggies crying about how the referees hate them again, along with ESPN, Sankey, the NCAA, the SEC, and Boogiemen everywhere.

Samson has had a long career and significant success at Oklahoma and Houston. He’s way more accomplished than Bucky.

The Pistol played three seasons of varsity college basketball, Acuff will likely only play one. There was no 3 point goal when the Pistol played. Both great players, but you’re getting way ahead of yourself to day Acuff is better.

Our second in four years, but the 9th for our coach. Our AD hired another good one.

Seemed to be a mutual divorce to me, from afar.

Aggies can only rejoice at someone’s else’s losses. Of course the rarely get to trumpet their own wins.

Little brother throwing rocks again, jumping up and down saying Look at me! Look at me! No comment about what happened in Norman.

The Ole Miss bats were very impressive Friday. We struggled to get them out in critical situations over and over. Congratulations!

We looked really bad in the last three games. If we get in, it’ll be a short stay. I’ll personally be glad when this season is over. Men’s basketball and men’s track and field are, by far, our worst performing programs.
re: Holy shite Texas. Get a baseball field that doesn’t look like a D3 field.

Little Brother throwing rocks again. I know it’s hard for you being second in the state. You’re still ahead of Texas Tech, at least.

AD said 2 problems. There is a concrete base originally installed for Astroturf. That would have to be jackhammered. Underneath that is solid rock, which would also have to be jackhammered to install drainage and irrigation. There is a lot of shade on the first base side not great for growing grass, although there was grass before and didn’t seem to be a problem. Upgrades to the ballpark will wait until the new football facility, the new volleyball facility, Olympic Village type facility being built for athletes, and $40 million upgrade to the softball ballpark are complete. Out AD does not like to take on debt. He builds when there is cash in hand. Might be speeded up if the price of oil stays high.

Texas and Oklahoma would have gone to the Big Ten had Sankey and the SEC said no. The TV contract that the Big Ten would have gotten with those 2 schools would have dwarfed the contract that the SEC would have without them. Sankey and the SEC recognized that and made the obvious choice despite all the whining from College Station. A&M could not, and did not deliver the TV sets in the State of Texas when they joined the SEC, adding Texas did.

Somewhere between 15K and 20K. We got about 1500 in Austin, about 5K in San Antonio, 9K in Houston, don’t remember the Dallas numbers, but more than SA, less than Houston.

The first Carolina was the best. As for Missouri, there are so many variety schools with Tigers, so I get it’s difficult to create something unique. Missouri’s logo is a bit hard to read, especially on graphs like the SEC baseball and football composit schedules. It’s like tha black overwhelms the tiger, a bit hard to make it out

Hard to believe that LSU got its president from McNeese State. I lived in Louisiana for six years, and McNeese football thrived with players that flunked out of LSU.
