Marucci helps LSU

@Gerry Hamilton Any idea what you expect the starting 5 to look like?

She transferred to Baylor.

Better softball, volleyball, rowing......

Texas is not at the A Level of SEC baseball funding. Texas is more like B trying to get to the B+ level. Under Pearce they were at C-.

LSU has a sugar Daddy donor for baseball. His name escapes me. Pearce had to distribute his 11 baseball scholarships across the whole squad to minimize tuition fees. Paul Skenes was very interested in pitching for Texas when he left the USAFA. LSU blew the Texas offer out of the water.

Haha what kinda take is this? Do you not think they weren't absolutely recruiting him like hell? Your burnt orange classes are ridiculous. Schloss and Marder got out recruited. Stop sugar coating sh*t

I agree with this. We had to have kept some powder dry for something else. I refuse to believe that Texas baseball is broke and doesn’t have something up their sleeve.

England will find a way to lose later in the competition. Mexico doesn’t have a Harry Kane to save them.

I think they have some good portal additions. Still looking for some additions by the looks of it. My guess is they didn't want to overpay for Laya and leave themselves empty handed for other targets. My guess is they spent a bit of their NIL on retention, too. We'll see how it plays out but I don't think the sky is falling because we lost out on Laya.

If Laya were all that I'm sure Marder would have influenced axl way to make it happen. Its not like he's Skenes. Moving on.

Curious where we pivot to from here. I know the coaches have a plan.

No way Colombia loses to Switzerland

Colombia is so much better than Ghana.

For some reason, a lot of the Aussie fans were at watch parties in Texas, instead of at the actual game. Not really sure why tbh lol.

If our coach can’t get 1 million from donations or a donor alone it’s pathetic and should be able to get 6 with the history and connection Texas has. If LSU can do it so can Texas

I went to the game. Honestly, I expected Australia to have more supporters. The ones that showed up, represented well, but it seemed like it was 75% Egyptian supporters.

Mexico playing at Azteca is very tough. Historically, England finds ways to lose also. I'll take Mexico at home.

Dude. Everything is proportional. Do you not realize how massive it is in a sport like baseball to get $1+ million directly from the university in rev share at a place like LSU or A&M? That is almost 20% of your roster budget you don’t have to “energize” from your donors. Do not try to say Texas adding outfield seating for a regional proves there is institutional commitment for baseball. There is a difference between that and giving the program actual dollars for the roster. You know that. I’m going to go enjoy the rest of my Friday night. Hopefully Jim Schlossnagle calls me later to get me energized for the season.

Bro getting up at 4am to watch Australia play terrible was so disappointing. They went 3 matches without even scoring a goal, lucky to even make it out of the group stage tbh. Anyway, that's about all the soccer I want to watch, I'm not a big soccer guy lol.

Bingo. We have about 2 institutional donors who bankroll the baseball team.

I just think you are a homer and dont have any room to be critical of anything. I mean there has to be a reason why a&m and jay are doing better than us in the portal and at the end of the day the blame has to fall to someone at texas cause its an area that needs to improve. You are saying institutional commitment to baseball but that is not how NIL works most of the money doesnt come from rev share in the two other major sports. Texas seems very committed to baseball look what they did in the regional they added extra seating on outfield I dont think its an institution issue.

OU doesn't have great NIL for baseball and still won it all and played for another natty four years prior to that. LSU has top 5 baseball NIL and missed the tourney last season, so it's about getting hot at the right time more than NIL budgets I guess.
