  1. Buddy they led the SEC in ERA despite losing their Friday night starter halfway through conference play. This is an insane argument.
  2. Situational hitting and the bullpen is the only reason this team even hosted. What are you talking about?
  3. Winfield’s 4 hits against mighty Prairie View A&M represent almost 1/3rd of his total hits for the season. He strikes out in 45% of his plate appearances, has 1 hit in 12 AB’s in SEC play and has looked lost in the outfield. Of people who should maybe get more playing time, he is pretty far down the list. And what he did last year doesn’t matter. We have a 50+ AB sample size of him this year.
  4. Is any roster “built” for a losers bracket? There is a reason the winner of the 1-0 game wins the regional 85% of the time or whatever it is.
  5. They didn’t seem very hungry when they got down 6-1 the first 5 innings. Texas lost that game for a number of reasons. Desire to win and “hunger” don’t come in anywhere close to the top of the list.
  6. The funny part is it really isn’t. A different pitcher takes the mound for both sides every day. You think we lose tonight if Volantis was available? If we win tonight with Volantis does that give us “momentum” going into a game he won’t pitch in tomorrow? It ain’t like football or basketball where the same guys roll out day after day.
  7. Okay just simply asking who you would have over Texas at this point. It’s called a resume and body of work for a reason. The gap is still pretty big between Texas and everyone else regardless of what metric you look at. If we lose the series in Norman things can change but right now this is at worst the #2 overall seed and I’m still not quite sure who you are putting at 1. Arkansas, who has lost 4 of their last 5 series? LSU, who Texas beat H2H? Georgia, who just lost a series to Alabama and who Texas swept.
  8. Who are the 3-4 teams with resumes better than Texas? I get recency bias is a thing, but Texas still is the only SEC team with 20 wins (no other team has more than 17), has a top 3 RPI, the most Q1 wins in the country (15) and a top 12 SOS.
  9. Not trying to be argumentative, but how would winning today and losing tomorrow be any different from losing today but winning tomorrow? I would say one of the next two are must wins to get to the 20 win mark in SEC play, lock up a national seed, get some confidence back and put ourselves in position to win the conference title in Norman next weekend.
  10. They are not throwing Volantis 3 days in a row with the series already in the bag.
  11. UTSA is legitimately a good team.
  12. The punting and kicking game got worse last year. Those are personnel issues considering they were good for 3 years in a row prior. The return units have been strong pretty much all 4 years and I don’t think we have allowed a punt or kick return TD in Banks’ tenure. Special teams are more than how far can you punt it and how often does the ball go through the uprights. You could argue those are the areas the coaches control the least, actually.
  13. There is zero benefit to doing a home and home with Texas State every year and watching them sell out by throwing weekend starters and their closer in the 6th inning.
  14. Another thread derailed by the same poster spewing the same nonsense. Yay.
  15. Basketball isn’t getting much from the house settlement. I’m assuming that number will be the total.
  16. Goodman reporting Darian DeVries (WVU coach) is a top candidate for the Indiana job.
  17. It will be a total garbage if UNC is in the field and Texas is not. If UNC’s jerseys said Boston College they wouldn’t even be on the bubble. I’ll accept it if both teams are left out but at some point you have to beat a few teams with a solid pulse, and UNC had 13 chances and went 1-12.
  18. We have no evidence of who Presley, Codie or Vinson are. I'm more inclined to believe they are JAGs than guys who will be contributors next year. There is very little Nic Codie showed this year that you couldn't find if you threw a rock out the portal window and asked it to hit a forward. That is a bleak roster outlook and that is assuming all the players who are eligible to return, would return, which almost never happens in college basketball.
  19. They played just as many 300+ NET opponents as Texas (6) and played 11 Q3 or Q4 opponents, while Texas only played 9. I'll acknowledge their top-end non-con (Louisville, Michigan, Arizona) was better than ours (Ohio State, UConn, Saint Joe's), but their non-con ain't THAT much better. KenPom has it 320th nationally. I agree they are likely in, but it's been weird to see all these Bracket guys pencil in a team with the same conference record as us and a lower NET as a "lock".
  20. Pierce was largely let go because of multiple off-field issues/incidents, including several at the end of his tenure that put the nail in the coffin. I don’t think it’s an apples to apples comparison. If Terry is fired, it won’t be because of that. Pierce also had results on the field that far exceed what Terry has done that could have bought him more time if it wasn’t for the other issues.
  21. Saint Joseph’s beating Tech in Brooklyn was funny at the time but for our overall resume it would have probably been better for us to play Tech in that championship game.
