    One would think that at some point Big 12 leadership would step and be like this is not good for the conference. But nope, without Texas apparently sand aggy has anointed themselves the new leader of the conference with no contention.

    One down, two to go!

    She was going to be #3 at best at Tennessee, now she's likely #2 at Bama.

    This is absolutely hilarious and awesome. I think the only one I know off the top of my head is Reese’s celebration.

    I am not the best versed in the world of social media, I wonder if the athletes following each other on Instagram is a way for them to communicate and ask questions informally - and this would be situations where having a good culture would help players recruit other players vs. a toxic culture where a player would tell others not to come. Separately, anyone else notice in interviews with the Texas softball players this year always keep saying how much they love each other so much? It's something new to me because you usually don't hear that emphasized to that extent. Reinforces what Bobby said about how close the team is to each other. Sounds like they genuinely are good friends and care about each other. That type of culture is hard to copy without bought in leaders.

    But her college coach said she was the face of softball (sarcasm)

    A&M will throw money at her as they need help badly, hopefully it's not enough to pull her. A 1-2 punch of Kavan and Azua would be stellar.

    Word on the softball reddit is that Canady is holding out for more money and hasn't signed to play. The games started yesterday. If she thinks she's going to get Tech money, she's in for a rude awakening. This is laughable and why I say that's she's no where near the face of softball. She's in it for herself, talented yes, but not trying to grow the game. Most of the players in the league probably only make $45k ish and they're the best of the best. It's a similar situation to Caitlin Clark making only $76k as a rookie when her NIL and endorsement deals were in the millions. The smarter move would be to play and get endorsement deals.

    I keep refreshing hoping for exciting positive news for Texas lol.

    A&M's biggest weakness is pitching like their baseball team. They had a fairly decent offense but their pitching just gave those runs right back.
  11. HookemTexas
    Being a star in high school also doesn't always translate into a star in college. It's good to have options.

    Kavan is like the complete opposite of James Harden, good to average regular season, and the deeper in the playoffs it is, the better and more clutch she gets.
  13. HookemTexas
    Admittedly I don't know too many names outside of Texas, but for next year with Frahm, Pickens, and Canady gone, who are the elite pitchers outside of Kavan? Terry is a maybe because she got hit hard but multiple teams in the WCWS. Miss state's pitcher?

    Yea, I thought Gasso was on the ou staff under Gasso, brain fart.

    Prior year we lost a coach who's now ASU's head coach I believe.
  16. HookemTexas
    They’ve lost coaches the past few seasons to HC gigs right? The only negative to winning is everyone else wants the coaches in your secret sauce. OU just lost their hitting coach.
  17. HookemTexas
    Yormark probably wouldn’t do that since they are his only shot at maybe winning. The rest of the schools in the big 12 are pretty much canon fodder at this point.
  18. HookemTexas
    According to most, Tech bound ever since ou got bounced.
  19. HookemTexas
    That would be justice and hilarious, but wait until they spend all their NIL and do it in the of season.
  20. HookemTexas
    She probably commands 6 figures at any of the blue bloods, if Tech comes in with 7 figures like they did with Canady, that would be hard to turn down and I wouldn't blame her. Invested correctly, you're set for a good chunk of life, especially considering softball isn't a sport where there's much money after college.
  21. HookemTexas
    What do you think Texas' chances are? Not sure if she had any love or hate for Texas growing up. Of course Tech and Sooners both think she's going to them. I'm biased of course but I don't see how anyone could want to go to either of those schools barring money (which Texas has). Tech is located in bfe and the town is boring af (having worked in oil and gas I've had to travel around there many times. Same with ou, there ain't nothing in that state, and then you have to listen to one song all the time cause their band apparently only knows that one song. And then there's the hideous colors.
  22. HookemTexas
    So I was thinking about NIL, wasn't aware of the Sorsby thing today, that for sure is wrong.
  23. HookemTexas
    I don't like it, but they aren't doing anything illegal. I akin it to when a Longhorn does something like hit a homerun and throws up the Hook'em. If you don't like it, don't let them do it. And Texas is one of the schools that is able to go toe to toe with Tech when it comes to money. It's whether Texas wants to or not. There are other strategies involved.
  24. HookemTexas
    IF Texas lands Torres, likely either she or Martinez moves to 2nd, that's as good a middle defense as you can get with Henry covering CF behind them.
  25. HookemTexas
    Torres is on my wishlist, her defense is amazing.
