Must be nice... I had season tickets for the past 11 seasons straight since graduating from Texas. Been to all Texas OU games, recent playoff games, etc. Due to unexpected circumstances, I couldn't afford to renew my season tickets for last season. I was hoping my loyalty points over the years would help my position in the waiting list for this year's season tickets. Called consistently the past few months and reached out to CDC through social media... Texas and CDC's response... was donate more money and MAYBE you can move up the waiting list. Their recommended amount to donate was over $2000 just to move up the list. I had a feeling it wasn't going to work out in my favor, but I donated the $2000+ anyways. I guess loyalty really doesn't matter unless you donate several thousands. The cherry on top was Texas emailing me thank you supporting Texas athletics and that my donation is non-refundable and to try again next season.

Patterson does not have North Carolina on his list - no bias

Maybe the best part is if not for a random screen grab, no one would know except your friends. CDC did the right thing because it was the right thing. Sometimes, leadership is not hard to describe.

Maybe, but I doubt it. They might try Bing again. I wouldn't be surprised if, in a fourth starter role needed for an elimination game in a regional, they went with someone like Leffew as an opener and it would be a bullpen game from there.

Awesome. Love the Ricky. I got a few volantis cards like this with auto.

Love it!! 🧡🤘🏼🐂

Tennessee, Missouri, and Florida are all extremely overrated

I love this schedule. I love watching longhorn football. I love it even more when we’re playing games that matter, not where the outcome is 99% determined before kickoff. I’d much rather have entire season of meaningful and challenging games to watch than to coast our way through boring cupcake after cupcake for three months just to boost CFP odds. Thankfully we’re not Notre Dame. We’re a top team with the toughest schedule, This is what being a fan is all about. Bring it on!

BRING IT ON

Insightful article, thanks Gerry. I follow OSU as my mom got her graduate degrees, my brother wrestled there, and I went to high school in NE OK. I found it particularly interesting the low number of players that transferred out to other power 4 schools. Shows how the talent level had fallen there.

Don't think either are defined at this point. Ramsier has worked more at center

I tend to agree with this.

That’s it for Schloss.

Schloss is also in favor of pushing the start of the season back to March. He also wants to look at changing the postseason format to two additional best 2-out-of-3 series instead of the four-team, double elimination regional so that it mimics the regular season.

Aka he just watched Tennessee and Mississippi State average 15 meaningless pick off attempts per game.

With the MLB labor situation looming, Schloss said college baseball decision makers need to focus on making the game as viewer friendly as possible. That includes implementing rule changes that can speed up the game.

On Ruger Riojas, Schloss said it adds a lot to the program to have someone in the transfer portal era who loves Texas has much as Ruger does.

Carson Tinney had some good swings in Knoxville, Schloss said. He’s not worried about Tinney having an off weekend.

Schloss said Temo Becerra has made some swing changes lately. His aucccess though, Schloss said, has a lot to do with not over swinging and going back to being a contact hitter first and foremost.

Schloss and Max Weiner pushed Haiden Leffew on Sunday because they wanted to get a look at him in that role and the series unfolded in such à way that it made sense.

Schloss said they might audition a fourth starter next week. If one doesn’t emerge, the role of the fourth starter will be matchup dependent.

Schloss likes where the Longhorns are at with Burns, Cozart, Crossland and Leffew.
