TAMU/Notre Dame gets College Gameday for week one. Here are the other notable matchups for that day on ESPN… Not a bad slate at all. Texas, of course, will play CSU.

If only anyone healthy pitched for the Rangers. We do get Leiter’s first home appearance tonight. Still think they should call Trevor Bauer.

Haha for sure!

As long as both teams take care of business, I think you can count on that one.

Not sure what soccer basketball is. 😂 But here you go…

Oops. Wasn’t thinking on that one. Edited title. Thanks!

Former Longhorns receiver Agiye Hall will walk on at UCF according to On3 reporter Pete Nakos. Hall hasn’t played since 2022, which was his lone year at Texas. Prior to that, Hall played a season at Alabama. He will be a preferred walk-on.

More guests coming! For sure.

They’ll get upset. Going to go ahead and tell you all now that they won’t win it all. Mark it down and take it to the bank.

Here’s the release from Texas: AUSTIN, Texas – For the 24th time in program history, The University of Texas' softball program will participate in the NCAA Division I Softball Championship as the Longhorns were not only selected as one of the 16 regional host programs but also as the tournament's number one overall seed for the first time in the program's history. The number one ranking is the highest by a Texas softball program since earning the third seed for the 2011 tournament. Sunday's honor also marked the first time the program has earned a national seed — one through 16 — in back-to-back seasons since 2012 and 2013. The 2013 campaign capped a four-year stretch that saw the Longhorns be seeded 7 (2010), 3 (2011), 6 (2012) and 4 (2013). Texas, which is 23-2 at home to this point of the 2024 season, will open the 2024 NCAA Austin Regional on Friday, May 17 when the Longhorns take on the Siena Saints, which won their first-ever MAAC Championship by winning four games in four days as the tournament's sixth seed, at 3 p.m. CT on the Longhorn Network. Additionally in the bracket, St. Francis (Pa.) will travel back to Red & Charline McCombs Field for the first time since the 2021 NCAA Austin Regional as the Red Flash, which have qualified for the NCAA Division I Softball Championship in six of the last seven seasons, knocked off Central Connecticut, 12-0, to win the Northeast Conference Championship and earn the regional's third seed. The Red Flash will take on Northwestern, the second seed in the regional, at 5:30 p.m. CT Friday, May 17, when the game will be streamed on ESPN+. The Wildcats, guided by three-time Big Ten Coach of the Year Kate Drohan, won their third consecutive Big Ten regular season championship after going 19-3 in conference play and winning all eight conference series for the second season in a row. This weekend will mark the first time Northwestern have traveled to Austin for postseason play since the 2012 season, when the Longhorns reeled off four consecutive elimination victories to win the regional. The winner of the Austin Regional will advance to face the winner of the College Station Regional, which is hosted by Texas A&M and also features Texas State, for a three-game series that begins on Friday, May 24. NCAA Austin Regional Schedule Friday, May 17 Game 1 – No. 4 Siena (33-20) vs. No. 1 Texas (47-7), 3 PM – Longhorn Network Game 2 – No. 3 St. Francis (40-12) vs. No. 2 Northwestern (33-11), 5:30 PM – ESPN+ Saturday, May 18 Game 3 – Winner Game 2 vs. Winner Game 1, 12 PM – TBD Game 4 – Loser Game 1 vs. Loser Game 2, 2:30 PM – TBD Game 5 – Winner Game 4 vs. Loser Game 3, 5 PM – TBD Sunday, May 19 Game 6 – Winner Game 5 vs. Winner Game 3, TBD – TBD Game 7 (if necessary) – Winner Game 6 vs. Loser Game 6, TBD – TBD

Yeah she (Maxwell) did. She did a great job of getting ahead in the count and she painted the outside corner nearly all night. It gave Texas fits.

They need some offense and quickly. Pitching has to be shored up as well.
