    Take the heat, CJ. Take all of it. Wear the heat like a badge....When you’re right, the folks who don’t like the truth always yell the loudest. Keep posting the facts - they’ll catch up eventually.

    Ha, Tech left the Adidas and Mahomes logos off because even the logos said, ‘Don’t drag us into your clown show'

    This statement is an embarrassment to Texas Tech. Hocutt didn’t ‘clarify’ anything - he basically printed out a denial, slapped the Tech logo on it, and hoped nobody in the Big 12 can read. The entire conference is calling them out, national media is dragging them, and Tech’s response is, ‘We swear we didn’t do the thing that benefits us more than anyone else'.... It’s pathetic. This is crisis management for people who think PR stands for ‘Please Respond.’ If this is the best they can do, no wonder Tech is the punchline of every AD group chat right now. They didn’t put out a statement....they put out a confession disguised as a shrug. Imagine being so deep in the mud that you have to publicly announce, ‘We didn’t secretly bankroll a lawsuit.’ That’s not exoneration - that’s desperation. Tech looks guilty, sloppy, and terrified, and this statement only made it worse.

    Damn, you are absolutely correct. Got my years messed up with mentioning Taylor Tinsley, Kenzie Brown, Ruby Meylan, Maya Johnson, Robyn Herron, and Lyndsey Grein....my bad what about Karlie Keeney - Baylor? She’s the kind of pitcher who frustrates hitters because nothing is straight and nothing is where they expect it.

    There’s no tweet to find - Golan nuked it or kept it private. Roach saw it, the rest of us didn’t. Golan’s the only ‘insider’ whose scoops evaporate faster than Tech’s recruiting momentum....If Golan actually had real info, he wouldn’t hide it behind a paywall and a prayer....just ignore him.

    agree

    She’s a solid get for them. Not a superstar, but definitely better than some of the bottom‑third bats they’ve been rolling out. LSU never really gave her a real runway, but she’s athletic, competitive, and actually knows how to survive SEC pitching. She’ll help them - just not in a way that keeps anyone in Austin up at night.

    Earlywine’s out, so let’s stop pretending this offense fixes itself. Texas needs a real hitting architect again - not another placeholder. This isn’t complicated. If Texas is serious about fixing/improving the offensive identity of this program, then stop duct‑taping the problem and bring back Connie Clark. Clark is literally sitting right there - proven, respected, elite at developing hitters, and understands Texas better than anyone. If you want the offense fixed, if you want hitters who don’t look lost in big moments, if you want a real identity again? Bring back Connie Clark. Stop overthinking it.

    one thing for sure, Texas isn’t hiring the AAA hitting coach from Salt Lake because he once coached in Houston. Or the guy from Midland because “Texas League.” Or Kouzmanoff because he played for the Rangers. Cool resumes, wrong sport.

    Hitting a baseball and hitting elite D1 fastpitch are about as related as driving a Prius and flying an F‑16.

    I did see the Justin McLeod post earlier.....Wowzers, both assistants gone. You know Earleywine is getting a good raise going there. we just got rid of $352,000 assistant staff money...Now we can give Partty Ruth Taylor a raise...she was making crap.
  12. HonkEm
    South and Clemmons are both true freshmen. They’re long‑term pieces, not Day‑1 SEC starters. That’s why Texas is still pushing hard for a veteran catcher in the portal. Hope Texas takes Swan...she can hit, but so can South...Don't know that much about Clemmons.
  13. HonkEm
    Lot of viewers watching the game 2 finals

    There are four clear top‑tier returning arms for 2026 besides Kavan: Taylor Tinsley, Kenzie Brown, Ruby Meylan, and Maya Johnson - plus a couple SEC arms who are right on the edge(Briski, Herron, Grein)...Briski is the closest thing the SEC has to a true returning ace besides Kavan but isn't in the Kavan/Tinsley/Meylan/Brown/Maya Johnson tier. If you never seen Maya Johnson (Belmont) pitch before, dig up her tape - Has one full year left and is returning to anchor their staff. She’s the mid‑major monster everyone will talk about next season. Wish we had her.

    I get that Earleywine isn’t everyone’s cup of tea, but let’s be fair here - the guy can coach. His track record speaks for itself: elite offenses, elite development, and a resume most programs would kill for. He’s intense, he’s demanding, and he’s not a ‘buddy‑coach,’ but that doesn’t automatically mean players dislike him. Some players thrive under that style, and White clearly trusts him for a reason.
  16. HonkEm
    Sad to see this happen. Zaleski was well‑liked, the players trusted her, and she did a lot of the relationship‑building behind the scenes that people don’t notice. Wish her the best wherever she ends up.

    He losing his hair(what's left of) fast. Besides, If even Josh Pate - the most neutral, non‑confrontational guy in college football media - won’t defend Tech, you know it’s bad. When he basically shrugs and says ‘yeah, that’s on y’all,’ the conversation is over

    Good post, but you’re still blending NCAA rules with federal law. Betting on your own team is an NCAA issue, not a federal case. You only get federal heat with actual game‑fixing, fraud, or money laundering - none of which apply here. Taking the under twice isn’t a crime, it’s just bad gambling.
  19. HonkEm
    Totally with you - Campbell’s statement really does read like that. The whole ‘broken system’ line feels more like posturing than anything grounded in reality
  20. HonkEm
    Betting on your own team is an NCAA violation, not automatically a federal crime. The feds only step in when there’s game‑fixing or fraud, and nothing in Sorsby’s case hits that threshold.
  21. HonkEm
    Campbell calling this a ‘broken system’ is rich coming from the guy who only shows up when Tech needs a checkbook and a scapegoat. The system didn’t break - your quarterback did. And now you’re trying to spin it like you’re some heroic reformer instead of the booster cleaning up yet another mess with a PR statement and a wallet
  22. HonkEm
    I get where you’re coming from - the injunction does give Tech some breathing room. But even with an open‑ended order, these things don’t exist in a vacuum. When eligibility impacts multiple conferences and the competitive structure of a national sport, courts usually move faster than they would in a normal civil dispute. And the NCAA isn’t limited to waiting on the same timeline as a divorce case or a local property dispute. They can request an expedited hearing, and judges often grant those when the consequences reach beyond one county or one school. So while delay is possible, it’s not guaranteed, and it definitely doesn’t mean the NCAA is boxed in. There are still several paths for this to move quickly
  23. HonkEm
    So Judge Ken Curry basically said Sorsby can’t do game‑day activities for the first two games, which is adorable, because that’s the exact same punishment Tech gives their quarterbacks when they’re healthy
  24. HonkEm
    Cody Campbell pops up so reliably with a money bag I’m convinced his LinkedIn just says ‘Professional Cash Appearance" 😄
  25. HonkEm
    No, the NCAA can’t ban Tech from the playoff over something that happened before he ever got there. That’s not how their bylaws work. But they don’t need to. The NCAA has a much simpler hammer: if he’s ruled ineligible and Tech plays him anyway, every game he steps on the field becomes a forfeiture. That’s the real leverage, and it applies no matter what county courthouse tries to protect him.
