Regional or Super Regional Are there any restrictions still in Austin because of Covid or is this the Texas athletic department? I think the NCAA is looking to make money. Texas is still at what like 20% capacity while SEC teams are packing these stadiums. At least that's what I saw in this Ole Miss/Arkansas series. I just hope there aren't restrictions in Austin that limit the capacity of crowds because I think that might have an impact on hosts. I'm just spit balling here so somebody can tell me if this is a dumb thought.

I'm guessing it's the same way for the stadiums, crowds, etc but who knows ...
April 11, 20214 yr Most people who want to be vaccinated should be by June. Hopefully most restrictions in Central Texas will be lifted by then.

I was thinking the schools get most or all of the gate. Am I misremembering? Edited April 11, 20214 yr by wood
April 11, 20214 yr Cool. Just put it on my iPhone in my camper in a Longmont, CO Walmart parking lot. As one does.

April 11, 20214 yr Author That's more like it. Would switch Melendez and Ardoin since it's possibly an extra AB for Ivan. Also maybe switch Kennedy and Faltine, so that Kennedy is like a second lead off hitter in later innings.

April 11, 20214 yr Author Does this k State pitcher have anything? Sounded like we were making good contact, and I see Anticout-of-here went yard again.

He’s got a good hard sinker that he locates pretty well. Originally signed with Arkansas. The pitch to Antico was up and out over the plate.

April 11, 20214 yr Yeah that was a fucking bomb. Could have been 430 out there and that's still over the fence.

I’m superstitious about lineup and pitching rotation changes. Don’t fix what ain’t broke. But damn it’s gonna be tough keeping him out of the 4 hole. Especially with the way Daly gets on base and how many walks Zubia takes
