  1. They should all get Bentley's or Rolls instead of exotics or high end sport luxury cars and hire a chauffeur.
  2. When I was at Johns Hopkins years ago, the new Denton Cooley rec. center in the medical center had squash courts. The first squash player I saw there was a woman who was supposedly some national champ as an undergrad at either Penn or Princeton (started with a P). She smoked the guy she was playing. That was the first time I saw someone play squash. I tried it a few times but did not like being in a confined court where someone was swinging a long racquet close to me. I stuck to racquetball and handball.
  3. Disappointing loss. The combination of Rerick (starter), Navarre, and Burns pitched 1.0 innings and gave up 7 runs (6 earned). Kade Bing pitched great. Howard was a bit shaky but pitched better than I have seen him for a while and Riojas did pretty well, but was probably in too long again. Hitting was spotty as far as getting runs across and putting rallies together, as partially evidenced by our 3 homeruns all being solo shots. We did have some bad luck as far as hard hit balls that were caught and even Belyeu getting hit on the bases by a hard hit ball by Flores that would have been a hit. The two errors were costly and base running could have been better. Mendoza is a firecracker, Belyeu is swinging better again, as is Flores, Schuessler may be getting back to his old self, and Winfield may be looking better. Galvan's power has been impressive, but he struck out 3 times last night and Gasparino did twice. Both had seemed to be cutting down strikeouts from last year, but those may be increasing again. We were in double digit strikeouts again, and UTSA only had 7.
  4. He will be an upgrade there. I thought Berkman might have been a better choice than Cruz, but who knows. I always respected Rice baseball but they have really tanked the last few years. They were one of the few sports there that was consistently good. I think he will help them and hope he learned something from his time at Texas. Good luck to Rice baseball.
  5. I guess he wasn't elite to get enough Jimbo retirement money.
  6. As a long time Cowboys fan I hope they do something good to get a backup and potential starter, but I would hate to see them draft Quinn and then ruin him. Quinn has a chance of being a pro quarterback, perhaps long term, but may need to be in the right place. If he gets to be a backup for a couple of years and has a good qb coach, those chance go up.
  7. Agreed. We had that issue in the past with Duplantier. He appears to have worked on some things and hopefully improved on that. Riojas in particular does seem to have that 30-40 pitch/2 inning bug, at least in his last couple of outings when he went that far. Hopefully Wiener can do his thing with the middle relief guys. It would be nice to have reliable 2-5 inning relief guys when you need them.
  8. Saw your analysis of the team on Coffee and Football. They are still not running on all cylinders and different guys seem to have stretches of inconsistency, including returning stalwarts. Schloss will keep tweaking until he finds the right mix and hopefully more consistency among those expected to be the starters. That being said, there is a lot of talent and when some are in slumps others have picked them up. Overall, pitching has been better than expected, but is still a work in progress. Let's hope some greater consistency occurs now that the tough SEC schedule has started. I am more hopeful than before that the team will be in the playoffs and at least make it into super regionals. I would like to make another trip to Omaha, even though the hotels engage in price gouging during that time. Hook'em.
  9. Report back on the town and the stadium. Overall I have heard good things about both, but some have said they didn't like Starkville. I have heard bad things about the cowbells- very annoying. You may want to take ear plugs or noise cancelling headphones/earbuds. Have fun and bring back a sweep for us.🤘
  10. Loved all the school books and bookshelves in their rooms. 🤘
  11. Bayles in relief was mowing down the horns
  12. Someone suggested he call the 444 law firm here in the Austin area because Quinn has an in with them.
  13. Street parking is hit or miss and the lots are $10.
  14. Spencer Shannon is now listed at 255 on the roster.
  15. Squabble over Oregon NIL spending?
  16. I have never been much of a Dak fan. He can put up numbers, but when the team needs him he can't put them on his shoulders. I hated the contract they gave him. I also did not like that big contract for Ezekiel when he was already on the decline. I like Quinn a lot and hope he can stay healthy and prosper in the NFL.
  17. I am a Cowboys fan and worry that they will get rid of Dak (with my blessing) and boost the backup. If it happens soon I am not sure I would want Quinn to be thrust into that without a couple of years under his belt as a backup first.
  18. I didn't even notice where he was until someone mentioned it.
  19. That Kyle Umlang guy comes up with some incredible statistics. The Aggies hate him.
  20. Volantis has looked good. Bing has his moments, but has been a bit wild with the occasional meatball. I wonder when Grubbs will get more time. His few innings have looked pretty good. I never thought he would be a Friday night starter (until last year's problems), and perhaps not Saturday or Sunday, but he was very solid last year and seems to be getting back in the groove from whatever his injury problem was. We are going to need good middle relief and occasional spot starters.
  21. Somebody posted elsewhere that the bill was over $2,400.
  22. UT needs him if he has only struck out once this year.
  23. "RT should have his bags packed.." Don't worry, CDC will help him.
