Blake or anyone in the know, seems like there’s a lot more 5 stars in softball than other sports. I feel like I’m reading that a bunch of teams are signing five star players last few days on the softball Reddit. Ou, Texas, Tennessee, Bama, …

How they are able to come up with the skits and put them together pretty much in a day's time is pretty amazing.

They are uber talented but lack the "I'm going to carry this team" person and the leadership that Asjia O'Nel and Madi Skinner has. Unless they get really hot and lucky at the end of the season, it's probably an early exit this year. At this point, they won't even be a regional host which means playing that round in a hostile environment instead of Gregory. Home court advantage is massive in volleyball because of how close the crowd is, especially at Gregory where the volume levels can be deafening for the opponents.

I was wondering if she is related to the other Abdullah that’s coming in this year.

It also doesn't help that parents with talented kids are consolidating so that their kids play with good players to enhance their spotlight. Dulles is in Fort Bend which has Seven Lakes and the neighboring district is Katy. It's a bit of a microcosm of NIL at the college level. The separation between the haves and the have nots is getting bigger and bigger.

I did lol.

Maybe I’m bad luck but every time I turn in the game, Texas defense is slow and getting worked. Florida just tied it up.

Texas 20 - Tenn 10

If the favored teams win this weekend, it will be another great weekend of results for Texas and it's rivals. That being a Texas win and all rivals losing (Texas' permanent SEC rivals).

That's pretty fast; ain't too many players capable of hitting Karlyn Pickens speed.

Reminds me of Mack trying to rope Vince in. When he let Vince be Vince, that's when the magic happened. Maybe Sark needs to let Arch be Arch.

Was probably told they need to hype up the teams or be out of their job. It was pretty annoying.

I don't know who in the team carries it but there's also a certain level of confidence and swagger that's needed to keep the team calm and focused. Casey Studdard said Vince Young had that type of confidence and swagger - one of the stories was where some defensive guy said they knew what the play was and Casey told Vince in the huddle; to which Vince said doesn't matter that they know the play, they can't stop it. Us old schoolers know about Larry Bird, who was known for notoriously trash talking the opposing player and telling them what he was going to do to them, and then proceeding to do it.

That's tough, she's been pretty key in some goal scoring plays this year.
