Car buying now days
Recently read an article on this (sry, dont have link, google tips of car buying, etc). Stated the opposite is true, better discounts/deals when car is financed. Agree on price of car, get it on paper before they send you to Finance, then tell them you will pay cash. Never tell the salesman/manager you want to pay cash. Lot of good YouTube vids on car buying.

https://www.ncaa.com/news/softball/article/2022-02-21/d1softball-top-25-rankings-florida-state-jumps-ucla-northwestern-climbs-after-week-2 As expected, drop out of Top 25. OU #1, OKSt #11. After five consecutive defeats, and almost as many errors as runs, Texas (5-6) suffered another setback by dropping out of the Top 25 entirely. Auburn, USF and BYU join the poll this week. https://www.ncaa.com/news/softball/article/2022-02-21/d1softball-top-25-rankings-florida-state-jumps-ucla-northwestern-climbs-after-week-2 Cold, damp weather in the ATX beginning Wednesday (low 40's mid 50's, 10mph wind), ray of sunshine on Sunday 62 degrees.

2022 Big 12 Baseball Thread
Don't subscribe. $14.99 per month, $129 annual. Steep, imo. May want to try a month, I never have subscribed. Sometimes searching other team's boards will provide info including D1 info. They do seem to have good content from A-Z including coaching changes, injuries, predictions, players to watch, etc. I especially enjoyed the Monday Chat which was free but no more. In their defense, Baseball America and other sites are the same though lower priced ($7.50) Baseball America also covers MLB and not totally dedicated to college like D1 and at times has limited free content. Coverage doesn't seem as in-depth for college.

2022 Big 12 Baseball Thread
As stated by @zlavydra, Maryland is solid. Won over 35 games last year, lost to ECarolina in Regional Final. Up and coming young Coach Rob Vaughn from Humble, played at KSt. The sweep does mean Baylor has problems. Need the B12 to be strong for conference RPI purposes.

Last year White stated the team did not know each other well and could not bond with off field activities because of Covid. This year is no excuse. And as someone mentioned above, there seems to a void in leadership. Iakopo, Jennae, Burke, and Parker just don't have that personality. This is where we miss you know who, now at Ok St.

Tough to bring young Simpson back same day, mental thing.

Very much so. Not sure there has been a dedicated strength/performance coach for softball, but it would help. Melissa Schmitz, below, has the duty along with Golf and Cross Country so her plate is full. Lance Sewell at one time did both baseball and softball. He did a great job and was well liked. Pierce may not want to share the baseball person. It is very important for flexibility and proper strength training and most importantly nutrition. Some of the players look like they have added bad weight and lost flexibility and speed. https://texassports.com/sports/softball/roster/staff/melissa-schmitz/68

True. I mean if they don't do it on their own.

Notice no one comes out of the dugout to greet Dolcini, not even the other pitchers. Sign of problems in this program. The coaches, Barrett and Singleton, need to tell them to do that. Barrett is worthless.

A call to arms
May be tough to eliminate. Can only assume the horn is endorsed by Marc and the OccupyLF crowd. Maybe a group should talk to Marc.

1st out on an attempted steal down 4 runs. Terrible !

2022 Texas Softball - Locked and Loaded
He has a .771 overall win percentage, every team has advanced to the super regionals. 5 CWS appearances but teams have never advanced beyond semifinals. Reports were he signed a 5 year contract which would expire in '23. not sure, I think salary is about 450K. Will be interesting to see if he wants to face the SEC gauntlet, though I believe he is in the top 5 or 10 salary wise. He seems to be the type always looking for opportunities. Previously, he had outstanding assistants (Jimmy Kolaitis, Chelsea Spencer) and that may be showing. Singleton seems to be a good hitting coach but not sure why the other asst (Megan Bartlett) was hired. Midwest connections, not sure of her forte other than being a ND grad with a J.D. from Northern Illinois. tl:dr; No idea

Parker in LF ? And miscommunication on a popup. You be You, Mike. 🙄

2022 Texas Softball - Locked and Loaded
Why do you think he went the transfer route ? Lack of talent, prev committed to other schools, failure to recruit, all of the above ? Simpson appears to be the 2nd best pitcher behind Dolcini. She has alot to learn but awesome pitch repertoire.

Cantu has never played the outfield. lB, 3B, DP at Tech. Can't recall if she played OF here last year. Example of offense over defense. That low liner in the 2d inn was very catchable. Why save Dolcini for #25 Auburn vs #6 Florida St. Don't anyone jump, old cliche "It is a marathon, not a sprint"

Cam Williams may not have received the credit he deserved for providing leadership and maturity to a young team. He loved Texas and played like he loved Texas. I will miss him.
