I actually would be very interested to see how Texas' fiscal breakdown for sports was. Shows which teams pull their fair share based on % allocated.

I do believe this is why Booker tried to play hero ball. What I saw was UCLA play as a team and Texas play as a bunch players trying to go 1v5, including Booker.

The biggest loss to me is Jordan Lee and after that Justice Carlton and right after her would be Crump. The others are replaceable with upgrades from the portal, theoretically all but Lee and Carlton are harder to replace.

Ah thanks Gerry.

Certainly not as quick on the incoming as football was; but I guess it’s midweek and visitors would probably be closer to the weekend?

I don’t see for Crooks fits. She’s offense and a massive liability on defense

Not even PG, where is the leadership in the locker room? I venture to guess some are thinking they should get better NIL deals, Booker has received the majority of the press (and talented as she is, there are others on the team as well). I wonder if there’s a bit of envy kind of like in a rock band where the lead singer gets all the love and the other band members feel jilted. Or how the QB in football gets all the glory.

My opinion is yes on a new pitching coach.

I’ll talk any Texas sport. Players will go through slumps, Atwood was in a slump early in conference play. Nichols is a freshman and I’m confident she’ll find her way out. The worry is pitching because they all seemed to have regressed like Sophia Simpson. They start hot as freshman and get less and less playing time as they age. Outside of Kavan, all of White’s main starters that lasted were transfers.

I've said the same thing; the pitchers after Kavan are so hit or miss, it's going to hurt in the WCWS.

Really puts out a vibe that he's an aggie who is forced to report on Texas.

Also with Texas' relentless pressure, the players get tired. Having to run away from the pressure all game starts to wear on you, that's why the Texas pull away is usually in the 2nd half when the opposing team's legs start to give out, that's when the mistakes start compounding possession after possession.

Not only PG but Oldacre is a monster on the boards and that will be hard to replace.

Well as he said many times, winning is hard, for him.

I know Bobby isn't a championship or bust guy, but if there's ever a year where it's championship or bust, this is it. Next year with all the potential pros leaving and a new starting QB, while Texas will be reloading, won't be as lofty expectations for a championship.
