`This ESPN crew has been saying the "400 Acres" so often this week lol

What Mike White said after the championship series loss to Oklahoma last year sticks with me.

While Texas was doing the postgame press conference as the losing team, Coach White said, “I’d like to be the coach in the next press conference one day.”

He’s two wins away from finding out how the other side lives at the end of the title series.

I hope Tech and Oklahoma play both games today. I'm leaning more to Tech winning because I don't want Oklahoma and the 9k+ fans in the championship with us as well as them not having an opportunity at all to get their 5th in a row. I also think we can out offense Tech even with Canady.

Tech will win one the games against BlowU 

Why does the announcer keep saying “400 acres”?  I know because of the batting averages, but it’s annoying.

400 acres and 10 mules?

It's going to be OU again. So ridiculous they moved to the easier bracket.

Unlike most of you folk, I don’t really hate TT , as my grandson., son in law and best friend (3 separate people 🙄) all went to Tech. I do have some hate for OU so IF we had to lose it is no question who I would rather it be to.

Having 4 400+ batters is a great accomplishment and must be recognized .

Sure.  Every other sentence?  It’s the 40 acres! That’s iconic, don’t mess with that phrase.  Say, “Texas has 4 400+ batters to lead off”.  Say it 20 times, don’t repeat an iconic phrase wrong 20 times that has nothing to do with averages.  It’s like when I tell a dad joke over and over again even though no one laughs.  It was worn out.

Relax dude and just chill. 

Love it!  Kavan has been en fuego 🔥 in the playoffs!!  Great interview with Mitchell on OTF after she hit the 2 home runs last week.  Mitchell talked about how great the chemistry and communication is.  This team is special.

We’ve knocked on the door long enough. Feel like this is the year to kick the door in.

Everything is bigger in Texas, even 40 acres.

Agree.   I like the 400 acres reference.  Impressive for the Lady Longhorns to have 4 batters over .400

Whichever team we play…the crowd will be at least 80/20 against us.  Tech fans travel well for events like this. And Tech would have the benefit of those with no vested interest that pull for the underdog, or are just there to see the biggest star.  And some  OU locals will still attend.  But that’s no different than it has ever been in OKC.  Just have to keep pitching and hitting well and hope our defense shows up.

My wife went to Tech law school, so I agree with you. Unless they’re playing Texas… 😉

 

Team is looking amazing right now. Seems like this group of girls have been so close for a few years now. Close it out!

After baseball I don't want to be too overconfident but I like our chances vs Tech; on the other hand until proven otherwise hard to take 2 from the "home team"

I don't get why the Finals are midweek. Should give them a weekend audience.  Oh well, I'll watch when I can.

Men’s Super Regionals is why.

I can't be the only one "scouting". I hope OU has to play two.
