This team is so unserious in mid weeks. Stupidity

As a sinker ball pitcher, Grubbs must keep the ball down. He elevated the ball that Galloway crushed over the left-field wall.

And just like that, Texas trails early. Rashawn Galloway just took Grubbs deep to left field. Texas State has the early lead, 1-0.

Not to toot my horn, but I was right about moving Borba to third and Becerra to short.

Also, I mentioned one of the A-Rod threads that if Borba moved to third base with Becerra moving to short, it's because he's the next best defensive option.

I love Ty Harrington on color commentary for the broadcast. A lifetime Longhorn who built a good mid-major program at Texas State.

Normally, Grubbs getting the start would signal that something possibly significant has happened. Since he didn't pitch in the OU series, however, I'm not surprised Schloss and Max Weiner are using him as the opener for this game. I'd expect to see a lot of different arms tonight.

The Longhorns and Bobcats meet for the second time this season, this time at UFCU Disch-Falk Field. The first pitch is scheduled for 6:30 p.m. on SEC Network Plus.

Watching McDonalds All American game on ESPN. Future is bright in Austin with 3 McDonalds All Americans committed. Tied with Kentucky for most of any school. Coach Vic and Lady Longhorn Basketball continue reloading!!! Hook em!! 🧡🤘🏼🐂

While I don’t think it’s fair, Vic Schaefer and Texas won’t earn the respect of the national media unless they finish the job. UConn and South Carolina get the benefit of the doubt because their programs and head coaches have won multiple championships in the last decade. Vic has been here multiple times and has not gotten over the hump, although I would argue he got unlucky in 2018 as his team lost on a buzzer beater to Notre Dame. Gotta win the next two games to earn their respect.

And tomorrow is April Fool's Day Wait until this summer

Women's game is on right now. Men's follows. For Texas purposes: Women: Addison Bjorn Lizzy Spaight Bri Crittendon Men: Austin Goosby

Funny, I read an ESPN article today that re-ranked the women's teams coming in to the FF and Texas is now ranked # 2 behind only UConn - "The time has come to elevate Texas. All the No. 1 seeds have been impressive, but the Longhorns have been thoroughly dominant."

I’ll tell you if A&M goes 8-4 this season, that money is going to dry up.

We’re peaking at right time. Like the roll of Final 4 underdog. Makes next weekend more fun. Can’t wait for Friday night at 830p. Hook em!! 🧡🐂🤘🏼

Recruiting rankings don't really move me with how much emphasis is now coming from the portal.

Things have changed. Don’t get me wrong, there are players we need in every class to build depth and in some cases fight for game time but it seems near sighted to sign a top class only to have many of them sit two years while they hold you hostage every off-season for more money.

Meh.

I don't know what to make of it. Texas is the only WCBB team I watch. We go through stretches during which we turn it over like crazy and can't shoot. Pretty sure UConn doesn't have those lapses. Don't know about UCLA. If you win, you can get the respect.

I don't get the national media. Texas just destroyed a 2 seed (top 10 offensive team btw) and everyone else to this point including SC in the SEC championship, yet people still talk primarily about UConn, SC, and UCLA being the favorites to win the whole thing. Something about our style of play isn't sexy to the media or storylines. Tired of the Midrange Madi being the token Texas storyline and nothing else. Rori's leadership, control of flow, and mix of chaotic and discipline defense is not being noticed enough. She has been as important as Madi has to our success and possibly more because of the intangibles. It's pretty absurd that people would pick SC to go all the way knowing Texas dominated them a few weeks ago at a neutral site. These Final Four games will both be great but I've only seen a couple analysts that talk about our team in a way the shows they know our team. National media outlets just keeps getting lazier every year. Hopefully Vic uses this as a motivator. Time to get some respect for good and bring the BTA to UCLA Friday.

What CC is really pushing for isn’t some neutral “fix the system” framework, it’s access. A seat at the table where the biggest decisions and money flows are already concentrated. And like you said, if that access doesn’t come naturally through performance, brand, or market pull, then the next lever is trying to reshape how the pie gets divided. That’s where the “fairness” language starts doing a lot of work. The other point you make is just as important. Most schools aren’t trying to move into that top tier, they’re trying to manage costs and stay competitive at a sustainable level. So you end up with two very different incentives in the same system. A small group pushing to redefine the top tier and how it’s structured, and a much larger group that’s fine staying out of it. That’s why this whole thing feels less like a system-wide solution and more like a targeted push by a few programs trying to change where they sit in the hierarchy.

I don't trust Cody Campbell.

Given this signing and news about Sikorski and Christian getting 1st team snaps at G, is there any news on how Chatman is looking this spring? I really liked him as a recruit and he has looked solid in limited snaps but has had bad injury luck. I hope he is healthy and having a good spring.
