  1. Past hour
  2. We were at a performance at Bass Concert Hall last night, so the moment it was over I headed for the door in order to look to my right at the Tower. All lit in Burnt Orange...I knew. Watched the abbreviated replay on YouTube when I got home. You realize that a 70 mph pitch from 42' is on you in .4 sec., quicker than a 92 MPH pitch from 60'? Great game, great team. Hook 'em!
  3. You saw them "think?" ...man you have special abilities! HOOKEM

  5. Man, it's good to hear The Eyes of Texas in the state of Oklahoma and for it happen twice against Texas Tech!
  6. Oh Lordy. Texas at Louisville. A battle of two of the best rosters in the country built thru the portal. An absolute knock down drag out rock fight. Cant wait.
  7. Today
  8. I would say going from the 1st or 2nd most valuable transfer in all of college football, to being in courtrooms and rehab, and likely declaring for the supplemental draft (with a small hope of being drafted in a later round) means he has probably "learned his lesson". I do agree some sort of punishment is warranted, but I would be more lenient than most here and suggest he should get a suspension. Sorsby's side has weak arguments: "Players wont seek help for addiction if the NCAA seeks the maximum penalty for Sorsby" or "It's not his fault because it's a health issue and we shouldnt penalize someone for a health issue". But, I also think that it's an equally weak argument to say: "If Sorsby is not banned for life, the entire game will lose its integrity and players will have an incentive to throw games on purpose and gamble on themselves." The biggest indictment of Sorsby I have seen is that he bet against his QB while at Indiana, while having insider knowledge from practices, training, etc. While that's obviously inexcusable, and definitely illegal, there is still a meaningful gap between what Sorsby did and deliberately throwing a game, and that gap is why to me a ban is a disproportionate response. My bigger issue is why gambling on college sports is legal at all, while we act surprised and appalled when a 21-year-old athlete develops a gambling problem. You can't watch sports nowadays without being bombarded by DraftKings and FanDuel ads, odds overlays, and celebrity endorsements making it all look consequence-free. We're in the middle of a documented gambling epidemic among young men, and the industry's response has been to lean further into it. I've seen it wreck people close to me, both younger and older.
  9. Don't know who determines which players are in the postgame press conference, but the absence of Citlaly seems really disrespectful. She went toe to toe with Canady and put Texas in position to win.
  10. Cherry on top is the boys getting it home, too. Congrats to the girls, great job once again.
  11. The Tech softball coach needs to give their head football coach and the head of the board of regents a lesson in class and humility. I bet he doesn’t stand for players better on their teams, no matter who it is.
  12. watched both the Texas and the Texas Tech post game interviews Gerry Glasco said some nice things about Texas, White and Kavan
  13. I had the main broadcast and the alternate broadcast (on ESPNU) on two screens and switched listening back and forth (and sometimes had both on mute). TBH, I listened to the alternate broadcast more. Those ladies were mostly entertaining and not Tech homers. I thought their analysis and commentary was interesting, and they had all played on that stage when they were in college.
  14. Can't disagree with this.
  15. Don't believe so. Campbell didn't touch softball last year but he might've jumped in the boat this year after last season's success to try to help them get over the hump.
  16. Saw several Tech players hugging and congratulating Texas players.
  17. Sanya Richards-Ross needs to be added ... Won a natty in the 400 and 4x400 then went on to win 4 olympic golds across 3 olympiads. If I had to make a rushmore of female UT athletes it's probably Cat Osterman, Teagan Kavan, Sanya Richards-Ross, Maddie Skinner
  18. 20 no hitters by Cat is an incredible stat. What a pitcher.
  19. Is it usual to not shake hands after the champ game? Saw someone tweet that Tech was sour and just started packing their bags instead of going out and congratulating Texas.
  20. Tech folded under the pressure, imo. They were not ready for prime time. I'm not trying to put them down--it's just a fact.
  21. Good list IMO. For the volleyball folks, is Skinner the best ever at Texas?
