The pitching has developed under pitching coach Patty Ruth Taylor.

Not 2026-7 related but could be relevant for future

Hahahahaha

Let this man live

My wife and I watched the softball game last night. It was the SEC semifinal against a Georgia team that defeated an OU team the night before. Texas went up 3-0 in the third with two homers. Georgia then tagged Texas for four runs in the fourth. Georgia batted around in the 4th and went 7-9 in plate appearances. An amazing throw at the plate early in the inning is probably the only thing that kept the floodgates from opening on Texas. At any rate, Texas battled back to tie it in the bottom half of the inning. Texas eventually walked it off in the 7th with a two-out single. The reason I’m writing this is two-fold: 1. This team doesn’t seem to be as “outstanding” as last year’s. Not exactly sure why, but some of it has to do with pitching. Kavan just hasn’t been as dominant as a year ago. 2. The grit the women showed yesterday was legit IMO. It’s hard to go up 3-0, then lose the lead, then battle back to tie it and then win it with a walk off. I don’t know how far this team will go, but the focus they showed through some real adversity last night was encouraging. They play Alabama for the SEC title this evening on ESPN.

Does Dr Shin do shoulders?!

GH wtf man to start my Saturday morning ?! 😭

After knocking off #1 (at the time) Stanford H2H, Texas will face off with #3 Tennessee at the SEC championship this weekend. If they beat Tennessee, they will be an obvious favorite going in the NCAAs. Caveat being, the head to head results during the "regular season" don't always hold up when NCAAs come around. Also, Texas lost to Stanfords 4 person and 2nd string (2v8) eight person boats. They did win the 1st string (1V8) boat which is the most valuable. All that to say, it is possible Texas drops points to Stanford and other teams as well during NCAAs. That NCAA regatta will be interesting to track for sure.

Gerry why do you have your better half taking pictures of you

What an ugly site

Ya’ll chill. When has congress actually done anything?

Very much so. People remember the Ohio State game. He was a vastly different player against the Aggies and Michigan. He was as good as any QB in the country IMO.

Even if there is federal legislation, that wont necessarily force schools to be a part of this. I could see states passing legislation to require state schools to do something. This is socialization not free market. Ughh

I think you hit on the point. Let the SEC and BIG 10 break away in football. Ask others if they want to join and go from there. Pooling rights might make sense for 32-40 teams, not 130+.

This

SEC and Big 10 have the flagship and number 2 schools in some serious states. They’ll have a lot of legislative pull in both houses of Congress.

💯

Bobby, as a practical matter, how do the SEC and Big10 prevent this from happening short of taking their TV revenue and doing their own thing!

Just need to get him healed up in time for playoffs. We will be fine, CJ.

Evaluation?

Easy decision tree: If Cody Campbell is for it, Texas should be against it.

His pocket awareness and maneuverability was on full display. You can’t really appreciate fully in the moment because it’s on to the next play, but after rewatching and seeing clips, it was next level.

I think we’ll see major pushback from the SEC and Big 10. Some of the ACC and Big 12 schools, through their own mismanagement, have gotten themselves into financial trouble and that’s why they’re taking private equity. Asking the SEC and BIg 10 to cede control of their futures to people who have screwed up in the past and who are desperate just doesn’t make logical sense.
