My fault. My initial comment was meant as a joke in spite of my continued efforts to highlight the positives of the team and their efforts.
Comparing the pivotal game of a regional to a mid season conference game is off base. And Prager versus Lamkin is different. And a road game versus a neutral site game is different.
And your Horns beat OSU 2 of 3 just like Gators.
I’ve only been to the CWS once. Last year of Rosenblatt. No Horns. TCU fan yelled at me while flashing the Horns down. I was even cheering for TCU that day.
Tennessee is likely #1, but it’s baseball so flip a coin on any given day.
And Kentucky matched Tennessee’s conference record. Kentucky is not supremely talented yet they are competing and competing well. They don’t have tons of big arms or even big bats. They aren’t a typical SEC roster yet did well anyway.
Texas as a program, on its surface, isn’t far off in spite of what people say or believe. We do need to get on with filling up the roster. We need about 3 freshmen and 3 transfers to be big contributors next year.
A&M and UTenn separate themselves with depth - both in their lineup and pitching. You also see they both had some good fortune to win. That’s where we want to be but even the best Texas teams had some limitations at spots.
The last Olinemen that Mack recruited who was drafted was recruited I believe in 2004. His last year was what 2013?
In the final two games of Mack’s tenure here, our opponents had more interception return yards than we had passing yards. That was with a veteran line that had over 100 starts. That left the depth in the shitter. We were outscored what 60-17? And the defense played decently.
He got a high school player of the year booed out of DKR. We can debate the merits of that player, but he did stick in the NFL a bit.
He had a losing record 12 years into his tenure after a championship appearance.
He left some parts but not a ton. We were closer to falling apart than recovery.
Apparently you are more familiar with the Aggies ways than I am. It’s rare when I click on a link here to visit that site. But just so I’m clear when I stated that it was not a certainty we’d beat them a second time, is that being like them?
The doom and gloom on this board started months ago when the team and season were often written off. And to hell with those that were positive.
Sorry for following the conversation. But yeah that was likely much easier than beating the Aggies 2 of 3.
Interesting that claims of definitive losses equals acceptable commentary. Confidence unacceptable. Got it.
