  1. With middling talent, his Tech offenses ranked 24th, 55, 2, 5, 23 and 17. His defenses were just god awful
  2. We aren’t offering with your average surly member would, because it’s not their money and we should offer everyone $3m each and get the best 105 players in the world!!!!
  3. One thing to note - our non-conf is not as difficult as year's past. This team doesn't really need to be thrown in the fire, but they also can't coast on their trophy and fancy new championship sticker on the OF wall (gonna love looking at that all season!) But Mike seemed to hint with his quote about being the hunted that the team's mindset is getting to OKC again and winning another title. The season starts difficult - Nebraska and UW twice, but outside of that, maybe only Stanford/Arizona will be a challenge, but not sure OKST or Baylor will be much to write home about. Mike understands now how difficult SEC play is: at South Carolina, Ole Miss, aggy, at Bama, OU, at Georgia, at Kentucky, arkansas. We took some lumps in SEC play last year, as we acclimated to not be able to play your least and still sweep, like we could in the Big 12. The non-conf is good to get our freshman acclimated to this level of play, but also provide some challenges for our returners.
  4. No way, only Texas loses high level players over money. This thread told me so! No other programs have these problems!
  5. We will downgrade at 3B with Scott gone, but the freshman duo of Lawson/Crabtree were elite recruits. I would expect a similar season to Mia's freshman year - good at the plate, average defensively. I would assume an upgrade at 1B, defensively - loved Joley, but she had a rough time fielding her position. But we will miss her clutchness at the plate too. Hannah Wells will bring a lot of pop at the position. Don't forget Texas was a revolving door of shitty DP options all season long. The options are way better this year - Wells can DP when she pitches, 1-2 candidates depending on how the OF rotation shakes out, whoever loses the 3B battle between Crabtree/Lawson. I swear to God, if I have to see Vic Hunter take another swing at DP in a close game, I am going to break my TV. High hopes that EE can get the offspeed timing for our hitters going good again. He is an elite hitting coach. TK is obviously the ace, but it is hard to overstate how much improved Cam was by the postseason. Think she slots in at #2 and Citlaly at #3, with Brenlee as the change of pace lefty we have all been dying for. Not sure how much Wells will pitch in her freshman year while she acclimates to high level hitting, while also playing 1B/DP. Here's hoping Citlaly has a bounce back season. Our OF situation is very interesting - we basically have 4 true outfielders and Stewie for 3 positions. Maloney and Henry seem like they'll have their positions locked down as multiyear starters, but then you have Stewie, Sneed and Altmeyer for that last spot. Sneed's bat was so good in the fall. Vivi was injured in fall ball 2024 - she's had over a year to recover, and there was a brief time heading into the postseason that Mike said she could play if they needed her, but he wasn't going to burn her medical redshirt.
  6. Per his own quote, if you say 6-8, he's hanging onto 6 weeks. Glad to see everything is healed and she's close to a return. Better to have her healthy later than bring her back too soon. (Can I selfishly pray for a return by Sunday?)
  7. No official ones yet - a lot of the unofficial ones so far (aka, I do have a vote and here's my preseason ballot types) have Texas or Tech first and OU third. In theory, Texas would be #1 on the basis of being the defending champs, but Tech brought in the top portal class, while Texas brought in a better recruiting class (though our transfer portal trio of Gonzales, Anderson and Altmeyer addressed some needs) and gets their stud SS back from injury. OU still has a good offense but reloaded in the circle with Berzon from LSU and Guachino from Ole Miss.

    Perfect. Can’t wait to take a gummy and watch it
  9. I like cake. But otherwise, I think I had a stroke
  10. Texas football is literally the Simpsons DNC “we hate life and our ourselves!”
  11. I always forget the CFB record books have a whole section of “should have lost” games
  12. Cincinnati hands #11 ISU a second loss
  13. Just binged it all since Friday God damn, what a show!
  14. Wow, what original thoughts that haven’t been repeated at all over the last 2 weeks

    I support it; our idiot population won't learn until we start to feel pain. And even then....

  17. Bad things only happen to Texas!
  18. Good/great/elite teams know how to squeak out wins sometimes. Not like Indiana has a * next to their win over PSU because they barely won.
  19. "So....tell us about the future of the Dolphins under your watch. And your thoughts on John Harbaugh, err, I mean, potentially a new head coach"
  20. I'm sure Michael Dell is very upset that a message board of panty wetters is mad he won't donate money to our football team.
  21. Boutilier is out for the season with an injury shocker, I know
  22. And the Ravens will be hiring their fourth head coach ever since they moved to Baltimore in 96
  23. 100%, they either need a union/CBA or this will continue. And Cody Campbell and his sycophants in Congress are not going to let that happen.
