It seems like this goes back 20 years. Maybe it’s recency bias but I swear damn near every season since 9/11 we’ve had a pitcher with some arm issue.
So I guess the terrorist won.
The fucking park is small. That’s why it’s playing small. That’s why tech players all have double digit homers every year. These fucking guys are something else
That last paragraph there, yeah there aren’t really any Augie’s or Coach Gus types out there anymore. Jay Johnson I guess? But he’s no where near those guys. Kind of like in college football right now without Saban. There’s no clear cut best in the country right now.
Is Pierce the best coach in the country? No. At the moment do I feel like he’s the right fit? Yes. Let’s get the next 2 recruiting classes on campus and see what he’s really got
Thanks for the history lesson. After I posed that I went down Wikipedia and was like “oh shit! Didn’t realize they were that strong of a program.” Lice and learn. Thanks for the history lesson, ctj. Truly appreciate it. I’ll soak up anything college baseball.
Speaking of do you, @BillyGoatHill @Beau Vine or any of the other college baseball crew over here have any good books on college baseball history?
Well, I turn 31 in March. So yeah pretty much. My first Texas baseball memory was going to an alumni game in like ‘98 or something. Followed the next 3 teams closely. Then I had a family friend playing for us in 02 so I went to an ocean of games while he was there from ‘02-‘04. And an ocean of games since then.
So basically yeah. My dad filled me in on UT baseball history from the 50’s to the end of the Gus days. That’s a lot of where my college and Texas baseball knowledge comes from
Was just talking to @B00Mabout this. How much longer can we trout him out in left with his shitty defense and can’t hit a beach ball at the plate? Is Blake Peterson ready for the spotlight? Cause I can’t handle watching Porter in left. It’s just painful
