Texas Track and Field
T/F can be all over the place. A&M men, 4th at SEC, National Champs. Auburn, 8th SEC, almost National Champs if they have a better 100m. OU, 10th SEC, 6th Nationally. That being said, like any sport teams vary year to year. Florida is a good example. They have the best staff right now and were 3x NC coming into this week, 12th SEC, 8th Nationally, never a player for the NC this year (but top 10 in a really down year). Flo’s teams seem to be a little more inconsistent (results vary more) than most of the top programs. He runs it like a business and it is a tough “produce, internally rank every week” system. He has had better results on the women’s side than the men’s. I have mentioned before on these forums that Lil’ Nigel plays D1 football and runs track (just finished redshirting his freshman year). His training group has had a handful of athletes recruited by UT over the past 5 years. All of them did not like their visits or get a good feeling from Coach Flo (and this is during competing for and winning national championships). I don’t know what that means other than that is what happened. Now, Pat Henry at A&M is track coaching royalty, but he is certainly no walk in the park either, and I can confirm that first hand. But, he has a lot of skins on the wall, including yet another NC last night. Dude recruits. Flo, is not everyone’s cup of tea (no one is, including Henry) and he seems to find enough of his athletes to compete, but his program seems to be just on the outside of the “Top Programs.”

Correct. It doesn’t seem to jibe. Schools can fund up to that but it is up to the individual schools as whether they fully fund. Could UT fund 25 scholarships and allocate NIL for 9?

That’s kinda the issue among schools. It’s up to them. Word is UVA lost their baseball coach because they weren’t looking to be competitive with the number of scholarships for baseball initially.

Feels like it needs to be 7-8 minimum.- 2025 NCAA Baseball Tournament
That is not my logic. TCU held UTSA to 4 runs. Texas held UTSA to 7, 8, and 9 runs. So, AGAINST UTSA, I would say TCU had better pitching. Against UTSA, UCLA had better pitching than UT. I don’t know how else you can see it or what you are trying to read into this (unless you are an engineer and I will then happily refuse to discuss this any further as it will never end).- 2025 NCAA Baseball Tournament
Curious, what do you think?- 2025 NCAA Baseball Tournament
Seriously, is Balcones back?- 2025 NCAA Baseball Tournament
Personal attack? Seriously?- 2025 NCAA Baseball Tournament
Again, this Aggy point of view is head scratching. Your premise in trying to be funny is pretty obviously incorrect in and of itself.- 2025 NCAA Baseball Tournament
This. UCLA > UTSA > UT Again, THG is working from Balcones’ point of view that UT is better, now explain. I think that is a flawed premise. Aggying this place up.- 2025 NCAA Baseball Tournament
Man in the arena. You don’t count.- 2025 NCAA Baseball Tournament
That is simply not true. “We play like we have been, we should win it (the Regional).” “Everything we have scouted and seen and how everyone is playing, we are confident we will advance.” “I like where we are and I like our draw.” -UTSA Coach to me before the Regional- 2025 NCAA Baseball Tournament
Unexpected by some fans, perhaps. They beat UT three times. It was not unexpected by them.- 2025 NCAA Baseball Tournament
Yes. It is the only common comparison. Sorry, didn’t mean to be snippy, it just seems like a handful on the board are starting from the premise that “UT is better, so what happened?” I think it is fairly obvious that is a flawed premise.- 2025 NCAA Baseball Tournament
Wow, the Balcones is strong today. UTSA came back and got to UT pitching to the tune of three wins in three games. They could not do that against UCLA yesterday. It’s not difficult to see that UCLA’s pitching was better.- 2025 NCAA Baseball Tournament
Or, hear me out on this, UCLA pitching was significantly better than UT pitching (and I actually spoke with a coach, this beating UT is bigger than UCLA is simply not true). They have the chance to go to Omaha, they aren’t basking in their UT dominance, they can’t afford to.- 2025 NCAA Baseball Tournament
Yep. I wonder if some on this board realize they are taking the Balcones point of view now that he is gone.- 2025 NCAA Baseball Tournament
Yeah…no. There was very little from UTSA during the week about Texas. They have bigger fish to fry, mainly, getting their administration to provide them facilities. I saw three interviews from Coach Hallmark this week and that was the focus, not UT. They don’t think that way. The first two innings of the game last night they were incredibly aggressive and punched UCLA in the face, not what a team happy to be there would have done. UCLA’s pitching was better, which isn’t surprising because that is one of UTSA’s weaker areas as they lost their best pitcher last year to Texas. Just because they lost or lose, doesn’t mean they were going through the motions and happy to be there. The more you know Coach Hallmark, the more you will see that was not part of it.- Worst album cover artwork
It’s such a fine line between stupid and clever.- Worst album cover artwork

So, when you go to the big tournaments, you see this quite a bit. USA Prime, among others, has a bunch of local and regional teams, but they will cobble together a “National” team for the biggies. As a result, there are some stacked rosters at those events that aren’t continuous teams.- Oklahoma City Bombing: A Day in America
I tell people whenever it comes up that the OKC Memorial is as good as any memorial they could see in DC. It is truly moving. - 2026 Texas Baseball
