    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.

    I don’t see that happening either, but if it’s possible and the trade is Hidalgo and Preston leaves, if you’re Texas you make that trade. Preston is good, but Hidalgo is elite.

    Texas really needs to find that second pitcher they can count on, otherwise the WCWS will be tough. Pretty much every other top team has at least 2 go to pitchers. We saw what happened to tech last year when they relied on 1 pitcher. Texas has more firepower, but Texas St. just showed the lineup can be kept in check close enough to give them a chance.

    Jazzy Davison is a stud as well, USC will be good the next few years at the least.

    Which is how UConn built their dynasty. Much like Saban, Geno was stacking #1 recruits and top 3 classes over and over. It's pretty easy to win when you have multiple best player in the country for their year on your roster. It wasn't until Mulkey and Staley starting getting those recruits that UConn fell off a bit.

    UConn seems to be on another level. The four #1 seeds are just dismantling their opponents. Next weekend will be tougher matchups but right now it seems like the top 8 seeds are just dominating the rest of the field.

    The incoming freshman are talented, no doubt, but still have to see how they adjust to the college game. Booker, Lee and Crump all return though.

    Hopefully it serves as a wake up call akin to you have to bring it every game, can't take any days off.

    Is USC a threat this year or it's pretty much Texas vs. Stanford barring some unforeseen situation. Last year I believe USC ended up 2nd?

    Kobe Bryant's Mamba academy. She's the last one to graduate being the youngest.

    Rory as well, got baited into an offensive foul, lost her cool.

    Most of the teams located at tournament sites seem to have a massive advantage, only Nebraska fails in baseball for Omaha. Off the top of my head: OU for softball ncaa championship Nebraska for volleyball ncaa championship (though it now rotates with about 3 other locations) Kansas for big 12 bball championships Their fans downplay it, especially sooners (because they are brain dead), but the ability for your fans logistically to show up is a massive advantage for momentum and support. It's always easier to play in front of a home crowd than it is a hostile crowd. For every rule, there's an exception and that is college station, apparently that's not really a home crowd advantage even though their fans are crazy loud and rowdy lol.

    They had the perfect storm this past season with: easy schedule, upper class oline, lots of returning players from the previous year, good portal class … and yet nothing to show for it other than a good record padded by easy wins. They are going to find out this year how hard it is to replace experience and continuity.

    National championships in the marquee sports are really tough, the baseball/softball combo has never been done before. UConn did it in basketball a few years back, and only Nebraska and USC has pulled off the football/volleyball combo, and that's only happened a total of 2 times. That Texas is potentially in the hunt for 5 of the 6 is a major testament to the school, CDC, the coaches and the programs. I say 5/6 because realistically I don't think anyone's thinking men's bball is a legitimate contender for the title this year.

    What is up with track and field? When Coach Flo first arrived, both teams were consistently ranked in the top 5 and competing for championships, seems like it's fallen off by a lot the last few years. There was a time when Texas had some of the best sprinters and runners in the nation and representing multiple countries in the Olympics.

    It's likely more a product of not a marquee matchup. While we would enjoy watching an assumed beat down of a lesser team, they probably want to show a game where both teams are big ranked names.

    Moseley knew with all the attention on Coleman and Wingo, he can eat and that will tremendously help his draft stock. Probably a big reason he came back.

    It's almost like the team doesn't emphasize practicing the three point shot. They always look hesitant unless the clock is low instead of being aggressive. It's such a massive momentum and crowd energiser for the women's game because you're not going to get any posterizing dunks.

    My wife wanted to test it out a few years ago, I figured alright after the trial we'll cancel, nope still have it. It's so worth it not to have the ads. And on the family plan you can add whoever you want up to 6 people, so we just split the cost with some friends making it the cost of a coffee cup each month. You also get youtube music, which allowed me to cancel spotify and apple music subs.

    I don't know if it was the gameplan, around the 2:44 mark, coach mentions that one of the coaches spent 2 weeks putting together a scouting report which they practiced and in the game the team, or player, didn't follow it at all, said 2 weeks worth of work out the window or something to that effect.

    This reminds me of a certain Texas baseball coach, just spitting facts and owning it, but you can tell he cares about the kids and representing the university and he's passionate. Great coach.
  23. HookemTexas
    Why aren’t Carlton and Crump playing? Texas sloppy and getting owned for it.
  24. HookemTexas
    Ah my mistake, how could I forget Jody's undefeated team.

    Of the 6 big three sports, the other 4 already have natties, only the two basketball programs are missing.
