A&M is 13th in the league and 25th in the D1 national poll!  Going to be brutal in the SEC this year

Interesting to see Burns getting a lot of love from the polls and critics.

Always will be! But great baseball is ahead!

I’m hoping the Tigers fall hard this season. I don’t believe they will, but hopeful.

One of my main takeaways from the *alumni game: remembering just how lively his arm is. Absolutely electric, and categorically "just different" even from guys pumping 95. In 40-degree weather, no less.

Yeah, he looked really good. I thought the pitchers that came out for the most part looked very good.

Horns are deeper and more talented across the board this season compared to last season yet they could easily end up with a worse conference record this season just due to the schedule. Last season’s schedule was a breeze compared to this season’s schedule. 
 

Should be a fun season though.
