The Longhorns baseball program has hired Mason McRae as the Director of Analytics. McRae previously served as an Assistant in Amateur Scouting for the Boston Red Sox. Prior to his stop in Beantown, McRae served as the Director of Analyitcs at William and Mary and was also a scout for the Chicago Cubs organization.

As we count the hours down to the first practice, there’s now better time to join us for Coffee and Football. Show starts at 8 AM and Gerry Hamilton, Bob Shipley and I will be talking all about the Longhorns.

In a season when Texas and Oklahoma will get a taste of the SEC and BYU and Utah will enjoy joint membership in the Big 12, there’s a reminder of the costs and investment going into big boy college football these days. https://www.deseret.com/sports/2024/07/28/college-football-arm-race-extensive-financial-resources/

Hell I’m 39 and didn’t know. Here you go, here’s what I found: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/PFT_Commenter

It’s authenticated already. That’s why that silver sticker is on the front! I think they also have a big one in Waco as well. If I remember correctly. You need to get it graded my man! That’s awesome! What’s the back story?? Great story! And something you’ll remember forever. Hall was a stud in HS. I am too young but I remember seeing his name all over the record books. Great stuff!

That’s what makes this stuff so great. Everyone has their favorites and why they’re near and dear to your heart! That’s sick!!!! I love it. All awesome items. I had a Nolan auto ball when I was a kid but it’s long gone. I do have this… damnnnnn. Post it up! Let’s see it! I love the old Bowman’s man. They’re my favorite.

Post pics! We need to see this. That’s a hell of a collection. My bobble head > their autos. The first thing you listed is way better than any sports memorabilia. That’s priceless! But the second one is very cool too. Hell yeah! Texas jersey or Houston?

That’s awesome! No time like the present. Get it going! You can get some certified stuff on eBay that’s pretty nice for sure. @CJ Vogel and I were talking about RJ the other day. That’s pretty cool. You should frame them both! It’s hanging above my oldest son’s bed. He has no clue the value of that thing.

The last part of that tweet is what’s worth paying attention to, imo.

Join us for Coffee and Football starting at 8:10 AM! We will be talking all the latest Texas news and notes, including practice starting Wednesday, recruiting, team info and much more.

Haha. Forgot all about Sally’s cookies!

My middle son and I were watching King of Collectibles on Netflix and it inspired this thread. If you’re a sports fan in general, I’d highly recommend it.

Doesn’t have to be Longhorns related, but what’s the coolest piece of sports memorabilia you own? I figure some of you guys (or gals) have to have some pretty sweet stuff. I’ll start. I have a ton, but this might be my crown jewel. This isn’t a print. This is authenticated and signed by: Willie Mays, Reggie Jackson, Hank Aaron, Mickey Mantle, Ted Williams, Willie McCovey, Mike Schmidt, Harmon Killebrew, Ernie Banks, Frank Robinson and Eddie Mathews.

Black rifle guy here, although up for suggestion on anything dark/bold.

Come join us for Coffee and Football at 8:10 AM. Bobby is out, but @CJ Vogel will be stepping in and we will talk all the latest Texas news.

Not sure why some outlets are reporting he “met” with the baseball staff. The entire staff is out recruiting.

Waiting on one thing yall. Then I’ll write it up.
