My comment wasn’t based on just this post, but all of your posts I’ve read for the past year. There is something seriously wrong with you. You need to grow the frick up.

Of course he tanked it. He did the same thing in the CWS two years ago. Dude is a slouch who is allergic to winning when it matters most.
I’ve been in the CRE business in Austin for decades, and have worked with a number of fine Aggie engineers and architects. I can’t imagine any of them being as big a douche as you on an anonymous message board in their spare time.

Schloss is a dumpster fire and a bottomless pit of deception you buffoon
Just curious what you base that on exactly? He's 5-1 vs Auburn since he came to Texas.

If Schloss gets us to Omaha and we make a deep run, then he's a genius for tanking. But if, like last season, it results in us losing our own Regional because he allowed a loser mindset to creep in, then he's an idiot. I don't think you can flip a switch for a winning mindset - winning has to be a habit. Right now my money is on Schloss being an idiot just like last year. Hope I have to eat my words...

tBrand, what do you think about Schloss's approach to this tourney? I think it sets a bad precedent. We won the SEC regular season last year, lost the first game of the SEC tourney, and went on to lose our own regional. Winning is a habit, and if you try to take a weekend off it can come back to bite you. I didn't see Georgia taking last weekend off even though they had already secured the SEC regular season championship.

But I think it’s the same lineup that has only scored 1 run
I don't want to take away from the Arkansas pitchers, they're pitching lights out. But when your coach starts your worst pitcher, it sends a message to everyone that this game really doesn't matter and I have to think it affects batting. But as tBrand pointed out above, our bats have gone ice cold plenty of times this season.

Meaningless game
Schloss is an odd duck. We're practically guaranteed a hosting spot for the first two rounds of the big tournament, so to him it's just a scrimmage, an opportunity to give little-used pitchers some playing time. I don't like it as a fan, but maybe it's the smart thing to do, what do I know?

No, he faced one batter last week in the final Missouri game. I guess this is Schloss's way of thumbing his nose at this tournament. I don't agree with that approach, but it is what it is. Augie was the same way about the Big 12 tourneys.

I’m surprised Austin isn’t higher. I think that number has actually decreased a bit this year.
I don't know how Zillow comes up with their values exactly, but the median sales price in April per the Austin Board of Realtors was $574k in April (the 12-month moving average, which I think is a better way to look at it, was $564k in April). That 12mma is down about 3% from April of last year. Too damn expensive, I'm thinking Athens is the place to be in terms of value.

I’ve noticed a difference in the tone of Rant baseball threads compared to the football threads. The baseball fans tend to be less cocky, more humble. When even the most legendary hitters in the game fail 7 times out of every 10 visits to the plate, the sport has a way of humbling you.

Even though Georgia has already secured the SEC title, the team doesn't take a day off. One has to respect that.

I'm old enough to remember when South Carolina won back-to-back baseball natties. Not that long ago in the scheme of things (2010-11, I think?), what's happened to you guys?

That's because your softball team sucks.

Texas wins its first SEC tournament title, 7-1. Nicely done ladies, Hook'em!

Two of those strikeouts were with bases loaded in the 4th. Ice in her veins.

Bama left fielder drops a routine fly ball (wind? sun?) and two Texas runs score. Texas now up 5-1.

With the old stadium fans owned lots where they parked homemade stands built on trailers or old trucks and drank beer/grilled out. When we built the new stadium we built outfield lounges with electricity and grills to continue the tradition and fans who previously owned an outfield spot got first dibs to buy the new ones. It’s not as unique but the old way was a safety issue and lawsuit waiting to happen
I find all of that so insanely awesome, I can't even begin. This is the kind of quirky history that makes college sports so much more fascinating to me than pro sports. I'm sure this is all well-known to older SEC fanbases, but it's something Texas fans are still learning.

Some (a lot) of our fans say the left field lounge is too nice to visitors. They get a little jealous that visitors are often invited into lounges but not other State fans.
That's exactly the response I was hoping for. If I can talk my wife into it next time Texas plays there, I'll try to buy seats off SeatGeek near one of the lounges, haha.

Dang, I gotta visit this park someday. Do you guys abuse visiting fans, or are you nice to them (or do you just generally ignore them)?
