Informative summary by Rogers and Fitt. Should note that Chris Burke stated on SECN that Arizona's offensive numbers may be inflated due to the elevation in Arizona. Claimed that was the case when he played for the Diamondbacks. #SEC homer

Please explain further. Not doubting your word, just did not hear that discussed. Virginia did have a slightly higher RPI (39 - 44).

With all of the attention on Covid, suppose the NCAA is still drug testing tournament teams. Specifically, adderall which increases focus. I may need a dose myself for the euphoria side effect after this game.

Concern is the effect on recruiting in the Houston area. We have made great strides in that area under Pierce (with his connections) and the demise of Rice. New kid on the block always attracts attention.

8-2, 4th in. Must ashamedly admit I watch the game with no sound and tuned in late. What did they say about Fouts ? Overuse, injury ? Did not start yesterday and bombed today. So often when a pitcher has a no hitter, perfect game in her case, the next outings are subpar. If OU beats Fla St, I may jump.

TCU forum opines to remain close to his children. Remember seeing him play catch with his son at the Disch before the games at the '10 SR. Tough situation for him. Also said he left Lupton yesterday very quickly without speaking to anyone - including player's parents who always gather nearby after games.

Same sentiments for Coach Candrea as posted above for Lu. A great one, a professional ! Enjoy retirement, Coach.

Great coach ! The game will miss her ! Like the way she waited until after the season for the announcement. Her players may have known but she did not want the attention to be taken from her team, unlike Manieri at LSU. Enjoy retirement, Lu, job well done !

Feel bad for the Florida players. O'Sullivan not trying to win this game. He would have pulled the starter much, much earlier. A sin to let your team be embarassed. Florida likely has internal problems.

ASU Coach Smith states they will start Tyler Thornton (RHP/5.73) against Fairfield and Justin Fall (LHP/ 3.86) for game two. They also expect injured pitcher Kai Murphy back (LHP/4.50) though he has only 16IP this year. He did express a concern about the weather which could affect their rotation.

Hope aggy Kendall is just spreading aggy propaganda. Need to keep Schlossnagle in the B12. He did not "flirt" with Miss St, they aggressively pursued him.

Texas Men's Golf
Coach Fields' comments: 5. Not par for the course. The Texas men’s golf season finished with a dud, not a flurry, when it finished in a tie for 27th out of 30 teams at the NCAA Championships in Scottsdale, Ariz., and failed to advance to match play. I think its two studs got worn down and fatigued when Cole Hammer and Pierceson Coody rightfully competed at the Walker Cup and in the Byron Nelson. I know coach John Fields said they factored in the busy schedule, but that’s some stressful golf, combined with the Big 12 Tournament and the NCAA regional in Noblesville, Ind., as a prelude to the NCAAs. “The outcome was unexpected and painful to say the least,” Fields said, “but a function of success, scheduling, COVID and key performance deficiencies. Wouldn’t change my decisions or path this year even if I had a crystal ball and knew this outcome was imminent. We took opportunities as they came. I rolled the dice and lost. Suffice it to say, they hit the wall. In the end, I didn’t get it done. This is my responsibility, period.” Love the accountability. Fields could give some lessons to others for his stand-up position. https://www.statesman.com/story/sports/2021/06/01/former-texas-athletic-director-deloss-dodds-retired-hasnt-skipped-beat/7496359002/

Do you closely follow ASU baseball ? Please entlighten us. Saw a few innings of the UCLA games on TV. Not their day. Miss the rivalry of the Gus/Jim Brock years. (perhaps before your time) 🙂

Great game, Welcome Back, Mary ! MW says Janae is the most underrated player in NCAA college softball. That ball gets thru and ... Great game by Shea to stay focused after the HR's. OKSt needs stadium security for that outfield crowd.

Hate to see LSU and face the media frenzy/distraction of Maineri’s final games, seeing clips of the ‘09 CWS, etc. Logical though just like they sent Oregon to the softball regional. (Coach White’s former team)

OkSt forum thinks Mitchell Stone (LHP, 6'9", 2.56) will start. He started last Friday against NOrleans and did well. Standlee was used in relief against NO. OKSt's staff is getting healthy after injuries.

Sry to hear ! Mainieri respects the game and is good for college baseball. Didn't realize he was 63. https://www.tigerdroppings.com/rant/lsu-sports/ Tigerdroppings looks like texags. Opening even further reduces aggy opportunity for a splash hire.
