This weeks episode of Bases Loaded is out and Jeff, CJ and I take a closer look at the Horns first four games (where they posted a 4-0 record), talk the latest team news, what to expect going forward and give a hat tip to softball.

Rori needs to have more faith in her 3 point shot.

Ol'Miss really choked against LSU. They couldn't make one bucket in the 4th quarter. And they missed a bunch of free throws in the last five minutes.

Enjoy the heck out of Pack while he's here - he'll be a draft eligible sophomore in 2027

School, like winning, is tough especially when you actually have to school at school.

Not just athletes, but regular students as well

Great article with tons of information. Thanks Jeff

Love it. He's a natural as a Texas fan lol Get him on the sidelines for the Ohio State football game in September!

Great stuff Jeff! Excited for this MSU matchup, Are you expecting a 3-0 sweep or a 2-1 series win?

I don't always care for Saban's pontifications...but I like this. Thanks for sharing.

They're tested once a month. 😁

Great stuff Gerry! Hook Em

Why will the game be closed to the public? They arent allowing fans in??

Great win by the Lady Horns!

But they found a way to get it done, unlike Tennessee

Note: The only game of these five that will be televised is the Stanford game at 4:30 CT on ACCNX/ESPN+

Run rule is the default in non-conference games unless both coaches agree beforehand to play a full nine innings.

Yes. Many, many colleges aren’t requiring athletes attend classes at this point. It’s online ND is one of the few that are required to attend classes in person

Maybe he meant to say that he was able to take some online classes at Ohio St, but Notre Dame only offers in person classes?

Fantastic stuff, @Jeff Howe, thank you! On the run rule: can you clarify whether, in non-con play, the run rule is the default (and both coaches have to agree to change that and play all 9) or vice versa? (Either way, I don't understand Jim talking about it in terms of choosing "the recommendation from our conference." Don't offload responsibility for that decision. That's a choice, and your duty is to your team and university, not to a conference's non-binding "recommendation" smh. That justification shouldn't fly—ever, but especially not when the run rule has been all downside for us (1) this early in the season and (2) with this deep a staff we need to get to know.) On a different note, so relieved to hear Pack is fine. Obviously it started as a transient cramp, but I was worried he injured himself by trying to play through it and taking swings. Whew!

Good for ND. Fwiw, my daughter graduated from UT in 2017. Even though she is a legacy and grew up in a Burnt Orange home and went to many Longhorns football games as a kid... her Sophomore year on the Forty Acres she had a class with a DB on the football team. Not a starting player, but a guy who saw a decent number of snaps on Special Teams and in the Secondary in certain personnel packages. The professor assigned a group project and the football player invited the student group to meet in the study facility used by the football team. After the first meeting, my daughter called me in a bit of a huff. She was upset and jealous of the "incredibly nice" meeting/study facility the University provided for the football players. I told her she was a bit naive about how the World of Big Time college football worked! And this was before the era of NIL. I remember she said the Longhorns football player was a good student, "but he ought to be, given the support given to the players." The player transferred after that year, which was also his Sophomore season at Texas. Hook 'Em!

Yeah, from personal experience, the schloss quote had me thinking hamstring (again). Weird how "Ft Knox" everyone is being about it. Thanks for posting the update though! Jonah is the biggest wildcard for this team's ceiling, and anything is better than nothing for inquiring minds who want to know wtf is up 😆

No question. Elite physical tools, elite makeup, elite bloodlines (his brother Nick was a longtime MLB vet who now runs a training facility for pros in the offseason... Jonah has grown up around big leaguers), tantalizing production as a freshman in the SEC without the same level of investment other guys put in... Absolutely first-round potential. Potential being the operative word for the whole frustrating Jonah-in-Austin experience so far.

.29 WHIP for DyVo. When a problem comes along...
