Don’t forget there are some high recruits who were on the bench this year as freshman that will be sophomores ready to contribute as well.

As far as pitchers, there's Wells, the transfer from OU who sat out this year Bordi, the #1 pitching recruit Doty, and assuming they don't transfer out - Salmon and Gonzales. There's the highly touted incoming freshman who is thought to be competing for middle infield.

Blew his wad on softball; would be glorious for Texas to win it again.

Today’s going to be tough and Texas will have to show a ton of fight to have to beat Tennessee twice. They have two elite pitchers and a third who’s pretty much as good and they are rested. And their main pitcher throws upper 70s, that’s equivalent to baseball in the 100s with the distance of the softball mound.

Fish / Aquarium
Am in Houston, when I head to Austin, will be sure to check them out. I've been research Medaka Japanese rice fish as my first venture.

That would be fantastic, I’m looking at a 20 gallon with just one type of fish as well.

Any fish/aquarium hobbyists here? I’m thinking about starting an aquarium but am a total newbie. Currently just doing research. Heard it can be a major time/money sink.

Just got out of a string of meetings, looks like the Horns are starting slow again. Need the offense to pick up.

Coach Vic is not changing...
Much like Logan Eggleston was one of Coach Elliott's favorite recruits, I believe Rori Harmon is one of Coach Vic's favorite recruits (she was his first offer at Texas) and he really wanted to win a championship for her and had the team that was able to do it. He probably views it as letting it get away and that he failed to deliver.

The transfer from Tech is like the 5th string pitcher, Texas does have former #1 recruit transfer from OU available next year (she had to sit out this year) as well as the stud pitcher recruit as well. My guess is Salmon and Gonzales (Tech transfer) both transfer out.

I expect some transfers out from the soon/juniors who have seen little playing time.

Allegedly rumors that ou's stud Pickering already set to transfer to sand aggy once the portal opens.

Tech always using technicalities, credit their staff for knowing the rulebook and how took exploit it, but it's still lame. Just like I think they lead the country in asking for and getting obstruction calls when they are clearly beaten and out.

If you’re left handed and really fast, slapping gives you a better chance of an infield hit because you get a slight head start towards first. You are correct that they aren’t home run power hitters, usually the get on base and wreck havoc types.

Usual problem with the offense, it's either hot and run rule, or ice cold and can't buy anything. Hopefully they wake up again today.

They just said Sneed was 1 - 8 in the regional and then looked pretty helpless in her at bat, is Altemeier in the doghouse or something because hard to believe you'd want a freshman who's not hitting well to face an all-american in the supers instead of an upper classman.

25-26 Director's Cup Thread
Soccer had a no show and volleyball had a down year by their standards. I still don't know what the heck happened to track and field, but we've beaten that horse to death. Texas will be back on top soon enough. And Texas needs to put together a gymnastics program because that's the last thing those okies can hold onto. And they only really win because there's like 4 programs and all the talent from the state of Texas goes there as Texas doesn't have a program.

Props where it's due, Texas took aggy's women's tennis coach and they found a replacement who's brought them championships. Sometimes a blind squirrel finds a nut.

Also if Ole Miss didn't choke a massive 8 run lead with 3 outs to go; they likely win that regional as well.

This entire thing was basically cashing checks on their names. Kind of like old actresses doing only fans like Shannon Elizabeth.

If she's as good as was advertised, should be a formidable rotation next year with a senior Kavan, sophomore Wells, and her.

UFC/MMA thread for Sat 05/16 (Rousey/Carano + Fight Night)
They aren't evenly matched, massive weight disparities and reach disparities. The announcers trying to hype these fights as if it was GSP vs. the prodigy in their heyday is also annoying.

UFC/MMA thread for Sat 05/16 (Rousey/Carano + Fight Night)
The first two past their prime fights haven't been that great. Hoping the RR vs. Carano fight is a good one. Same with Nate Diaz.

It is pretty amazing how quickly Wells passed up everyone on the pitching staff not named Kavan in just her true freshman year. That's part a testament to her talent and part how non-elite the rest of the staff is. It's a good thing Kavan is one of the top 5 pitchers in college.

Is Wells that good? Frahm is elite and basically carries Nebraska.
