  1. Past hour
  2. Togetherness, supporting one another.
  3. Does he still have eligibility left? We could use a good point guard for this final run.
  4. Today
  5. Texas women's basketball steal leader ends her last home game with 5 more in this game.
  6. Legen- --dary Jimmy Dykes said she had enough time to take 2 or 3 shots when she checked in.. goes 2 for 2. Closing out the last 2 games at the Moody this season with the final points.
  7. The pitching depth is definitely something to monitor. It's obviously already cost us two SEC sweeps, almost the series this Saturday, and a 6-0 start. (And having to move Cozart to the weekend means we'll drop a couple more midweek games than we would have otherwise, but that impact on a path to the championship is relatively minimal). BUT even if the pitching depth doesn't become the best bullpen in the country, like some expected pre-season, I think there are real reasons to expect it to turn around: The main problem has been the free bases and the occasional hung spinner. Our guys have the stuff to get outs; the problem is command and control and the mental game. Max Weiner is the guy you want to have to work on that particular problem. For virtually each piece, I think today is the worst they will be this season. Obviously for the freshmen, they will continue to improve with practice and adjustments. (They are not being asked to start, so they will not hit the workload wall that freshmen starters sometimes do). Leffew is already good, and will only get more impactful. As he works back from injury, his command will continue to dial in, and he will get stretched out to give us more innings per weekend (which leaves us less exposed with other guys). And then we have a trio of guys who got pre-season All-American votes — Burns, Higgins, and Grubbs — but are clearly underperforming. And I just don't believe that at least one or two of them won't recover to the mean. In other words, it probably can't keep being this bad! It's not for nothing that the bullpen meltdowns happened while Winter has been on the shelf. Whatever sickness cost us two weekends, I hope he's ready to go for OU next week! As others have pointed out, the coaching staff is still trying to figure out how to maximize what they have. That takes time to find when the initial roles don't work out. All of this is a perfect storm for dropping two games early in conference play. It's jarring to realize that your expected #1 strength is your actual #1 weakness, but there's time to figure it out and many reasons for expecting us to.
  8. Just catching up. What's wild and exhilarating as a Horns fan is we just won a road SEC series against a team that will end up Top 10 on the year... and we're not even playing well! Most of our hitters are in slumps or just treading water. We had our worst overall defensive weekend of the year. The bullpen and strike-throwing struggles are very real. And Dylan only went 4 innings. And with all that... we still won the series! The rest of the country must be shaking in their boots.
  9. Justice Carlton, Brea Cunningham, Bri Preston, Grace Prenter, and Lovisa Hose (redshirt). Basically, all of our starters return except Rori. Crump replaces Lee off the bench.
  10. Texas baseball responds and wins 2 in a row to win the series and just like that we are back in 1st place (tied with 7 others) in the SEC with a 4-2 record. Hook Em! OUsux!
  11. This TCU/Washington game is awesome.
  12. Purdue is better and our bigs situation will be tough (needing a lot from Codie again, and Matas staying out of foul trouble against physicality). We have very obvious flaws, BUT you don't have to squint too hard to understand how this team could make a tournament run! For a not-great team, we are made in a lab for messing you up: We've got guys with NBA potential (Matas and Dailyn), old college guards who have seen it all and are clutch shot-makers (Pope and Mark), a 3-point specialist who you can't help off of (Heide), and a senior dirty work glue-guy off the bench (Weaver). An old, experienced team with a great coach, peaking at the right time. Let's enjoy this and see what happens!
  13. Well, I understand. I was 30 years old then. I really miss Johnny Carson and thanks for posting this because I have never seen it before. Hook 'Em!
  14. Sorry to hear this, but...#1 admit it's over and allow your attorney to be as tough as needed because your spouse will, and get ready to hear her say and do things that will be hard for you to stomach. #2 Sit down with your child and promise you will always be there to help and you will never leave and tell them you love them unconditionally and define that for them. Keep your promise. #3 Take your attorney's advice. He/she does it for a living and has seen it all before. For me...19 years of marriage and first few were good, but I realized my Ex didn't really want a husband, but she really did want an ATM. My daughter was 10 and I stayed in her life even though my Ex moved out of state with her. She's now 29 and I have an excellent relationship with her and she's a UT alum (BS '17 with Highest Honors). I've been single for 20 years now and actually prefer it...my Ex got remarried within a couple of years and I never speak to her. BTW, we had no infidelity, alcohol or drug issues. Ex filed for a legal separation and then I filed for divorce and we lived in a No Fault state. Finally... realize you have to hit the reset button of Life and this will be financially difficult. How difficult? It's when I gave up my Season Tickets in 29U and had held the tickets for decades. Damn difficult! Dedicate yourself to your religion and your friends and your Longhorns family. Keep that promise to your kid. Best wishes and let me know if I can be of help.
  15. The incoming freshman are talented, no doubt, but still have to see how they adjust to the college game. Booker, Lee and Crump all return though.
  16. Love our chances playing with house money Sean’s won more ncaa games by the actual coach of our team than anyone since Rick Barnes great job Sean!!
  17. Oh crap! There's a list. You check'in it twice? See Duck, SHOOT Duck........DEAD Duck!!!!
  18. Our condolences are with you
  19. Two years ago $22 million would buy you a solid Ohio State quality football team. Now a school like Kentucky can't even buy a second weekend basketball team at that price. Inflation!
  20. I don’t think it was the design, I just don’t think Lee had any awareness of the time on the clock.
  21. So revenge game v. Purdue and we stole Xavier's coach to revenge them. What do we do to Purdue? 🧐 🤘
