I think we should build a new stadium for baseball.

Yeah, I'd be happy with that.  We'd have to play in Round Rock for probably 2 years, though.

And I would be happy with that because Dell Diamond is only about 5 miles from my house.

I was disappointed they didn't do it when they did the renovation in '06-07. I was hoping they would do a complete teardown and build something with the open concourses and two decks.

The University owns more of the land to the east of the stadium now.  We need to ask the City of Austin to close Comal Street and build something with two decks and/or some outfield seating. Maybe bite the bullet and redo McCombs Field at the same time.

I tend to agree and at the bare minimum real grass and real dirt.

 

I love Miss State baseball field

Could a new disch Falk have downtown views in the outfield like Busch stadium, or would the setting sun be a problem?

McCombs needs a tear down and rebuild but might be difficult to do - where would they play for a season

Coach Gus had a hand in the layout of DFF when it was built.

He had the direction set up just like Rosenblatt Stadium in Omaha so it would be the same as far the sun.

So, if we add women's gymnastics, does that allow us to add another men's sport . . . say, soccer?

I'll guess the answer is no because we have a student enrollment that continues to skew female.

It's now 56/44 female/male.

What's the current ratio for student athletes?

CDC said in the town hall we won’t be adding any men’s sports.

As someone who was an undergrad while Gregory was totally renovated and came out seeming sparkly and new, I scoffed when I read this, as obviously it isn’t that old.

Texas unified the athletic department into one outfit for both men and women. 

Based on how she dresses Plonsky is also big on unifying outfits for both men and women

TO THE 'SHIP SERIES 🤘#HookEm

Hey y'all, we've got to talk about our VOLLEYBALL GLOBETROTTERS! We won a bunch of matches and put on our typical incredible display of skills and thrills on the courts, but our two-time defending National Champion Longhorn Volleyball squad's globetrotting experience across Europe was so much more than that. In our theme of WHAT STARTS HERE CHANGES THE WORLD, Coach Elliott and our Horns spent two weeks overseas training, competing and developing as a team while experiencing European culture, learning and seeing so many new things, and building bonds off the court, as well. The five-city tour started in Istanbul, Turkey; before heading to Budapest, Hungary; Maribor, Slovenia; and Milan and Busto Arsizio, Italy. It featured seven great matches and provided a lifetime of amazing memories for our student-athletes. What a rousing success it was, introducing folks in Europe to the premier college program in America, and our hosts were truly awesome. We were welcomed with open arms at every stop. Thank You, ladies, for representing Our University on the worldwide stage!

The experience of a lifetime 🤘🫶#HookEm
Thanks for having us Mayor Arsenović 🤘#HookEm

 

Finally, we're so excited to welcome our new Women's Golf Head Coach Laura Ianello. An All-American player herself who was a national champion as both a player and head coach at Arizona, what she accomplished in 14 seasons as the head coach of the Wildcats was incredible. We really enjoyed our visits with her, she absolutely checks all the boxes as a coach and leader and is the perfect person to continue the rich and proud tradition of our Women's Golf program. Join me in welcoming Coach Ianello to the Longhorn Family!

Welcome Laura Ianello as our Women’s Golf Head Coach 🤘#HookEm

 

Rowing wins third National Championship in four years!

Well folks, it's time to make space in the Frank Denius Family University of Texas Athletics Hall of Fame for another National Championship trophy! That's right, Coach O'Neill and our Rowing team brought home our third national title in the last four years (yessiree) in dominating fashion in Bethel, Ohio, over the weekend. Texas became just the third program to win three NCAA titles over a four-year stretch, joining Brown (1999-2000, '02) and Ohio State (2013-15)! It marked the first time Texas has won two races at the same national championship after cruising to wins in the Four and First Eight. The Longhorns also totaled a program-record of 130 total points, three ahead of runner-up Stanford. The Longhorns started off strong with its second consecutive national title in the Four. Texas dominated from the start of the race, cruising to an open-water triumph in 6:59.555. In a thrilling race from start-to-finish, the Longhorns earned the win in the First Eight over Stanford, the final race of the day, to solidify the national crown. With the victory, Texas' First Eight has gone undefeated in three of the last four seasons (talk about impressive!). Congrats to all of our athletes, coaches and staff in our Rowing program and let's get ready to Light the Tower again!

Celly with the squad 🤘#HookEm | #HereComesTexas
That’s a 2nd National Championship🏆🏆 for our Longhorns this year with @TexasRowing joining @TexasVolleyball🤘🏻🤘🏻 It marks the 4th-straight year we’ve won multiple National Titles in the same academic yearOur Horns have won 66 all-time National Championships (62 NCAA Crowns)

Goddamn. I fully expect a new line item in next years athletic's budget just to cover the annual insurance  premium on CDC's gigantic balls.
