USC is the national men's track and field champion. Oregon is a perennial contender in T&F. Texas currently is neither.

Hope there is no recount

In an infield that was shaky, Mia, on one leg, was a greased lightning star.

That BS interference call raised my blood pressure until it was reversed. Congratulations to the whole softball program. Hook 'em!

Oh damn

Agreed, Bird was a great passing lane anticipator/disruptor, and on my six men for one game team he would look like a great defender because he could freelance with the man defenders around him. Under current rules MJ would also be unstoppable, and West would benefit, as well [no hand checking]. Because four of my six were very good distributors no "true" PG would be necessary [the other two, MJ and Timmy, were certainly not black holes]. Instead, for one game they would each play 40 of 48 minutes and always have passing, shooting, rebounding, ball handling, and defense on the floor. There are other combinations one could put together that would tickle the imagination, but the total skills [and will] would be hard to match.

And the BS call leads to an unearned run. Sick.

I first saw Jerry West play when I was in HS and he was at WVa. Then I watched him for years in the NBA. To me he was the second best guard ever. In college, WVa had an All American 6-10 center, but West jumped center. His defense was the best. His shooting was the best. Only Steph has been as deadly from distance. He even led the NBA in assists one year. He still played a foot above the rim in his 30s. If I could have only six guys to play one game they would be Jordan, West, Bird, Duncan, Wilt, and LeBron, who would be able to sub for everyone else with virtually no drop off.

I will be out tonight so I am saying "good luck" now - and goodbye to both watching the game and this thread.

If Jonah were at full speed he would be useful batting leadoff or second.

Lineup, please.

No one would have predicted OU and UT to have the top two DLs in the SEC in their second year in the conference. Someone might have predicted the newcomers' QB strength from history, but not DLs.

Jeff, do you have a clue as to how Gasparino's once hot bat went ice cold? It was almost a surprise that he made solid contact again. He is too solid in CF to take out of the lineup, but early season his bat was a feature, not a glitch.

He had the single best Texas HS Champ Game I ever saw.

SJ St may be legit, but your point is well taken.
