Correction: ... should play another ..... i am confused: Why have rules if you do not or cannot enforce them? Our society has gone off the rails.

There is some good feedback noted above. As we all know, a number of posters seem to be all upset when we don't win. And win convincingly. This is tournament ball. It is not regular season ball. Generally, defense, pitching, and putting the ball in-play are the keys. High strike-out teams rarely win a 4-team double elimination. Coaches do not "save" pitchers. To this end, I really like our chances. The mental toughness required over the SEC schedule should be to our advantage. While the other three schools are certainly worthy, their week in-week out schedules are not comparable. Our guys face top tiered pitching every single week and often get a #1 in the Tuesday game. PS: if you go to the Disch......make it a home field advantage

I assume that this game is to help Lucas recruit his hometown. Maybe give the hoard of UT fans in Houston something to do. Is Miami supposed to have an UP year?

well, they play like girls. should be a good marriage!

What about the guy at Tech, that Baker couldn't beat out? That didn't win any post season awards.

I know guys want to be the "Head Man", but UH is a tough gig. The greater Houston area is generally considered one of the top 2-3-4 areas in the country for high school baseball. That is good. It is also where every serious baseball school shops! Austin, College Station, and Baton Rouge are short drives. They are going to need investment in facilities and to find some serious NIL$. But, it is always a good sign when your staff is in demand.

No, you said that 17 homers wasn't any good in a 'critical' tone. As a side note (and generally speaking), long-ballers have a significantly higher K rate that singles hitters. I might also add that a catcher does roughly 150 squats each game. That alone reduces power.

Jeeze.....17 hrs is a lot of homers. Your comment, however, is not as absurd as ClubWatever.

CC's approach has been interesting. What he really wants is for Tech to sit at the Adult's Table in the main dining room. He didn't get an invite with his checkbook, so now he trying to create a volume component with his 'share the pie' rant. I do not really think he wants to share the pie. He just wants a piece of the pie and a seat at the big table.... and he needs help. The interesting thing regarding this movement is that there appears to be a very limited number of like-minded schools that are genuinely eager to change dining rooms. The overwhelming number of schools simply want extracurricular sports but at a reasonable cost. The real question is going to be, "what are the parameters of the adult dining room?" PS: I am not disagreeing with Steamboat. this is really an addition to

I kind of agree with you....but not entirely. Coaches and umpires should all know the replay rules. For Pete's sake, the conference goes over that stuff ad nauseum. As a former umpire, I am actually surprised that a quick overview of replay isn't addressed at each home plate meeting along with park ground rules, weather, etc.

Given their issues with the law, I am surprised that the Georgia NIL Collective doesn't roll legal compliance into the package. (or a 25% set aside for potential issues)

Is this true? Or is this a ha-ha?

Nice to see that I am not the only one here At The Home, that subscribes.

I think you pretty much nailed it! I might also add, that if Randall Stephenson, as the leader of Sooner Nation, provides the same leadership, vision, and financial acumen that he demonstrated at ATT.... then OU will be a shell of itself in 5 years. Start the clock!

You dated yourself!
