June 9, 20214 yr Helmet sticker talk not going away. I'm just ready to murder some steaks at The Drover. Let's do this shit!
June 9, 20214 yr If you don't like helmet stickers, you should've bitched about it in March or April. If you're just now noticing them, well then that kinda negates your argument.

June 9, 20214 yr Don't get me wrong, at times our base running is something to bitch about. And it won't make a shit. All your bases are belong to us and we're gonna kick your ass anyway.

June 9, 20214 yr They have an alumni chapter here in Austin. Which I was surprised to learn since they don't even have a USF Alumni chapter in Southwest Florida. Their alumni association director was the former #2 guy at our alumni association for a long time, helluva nice guy-Bill. I'm guessing he'll be traveling back to Austin with a group of about 9 people to see the games. If the school wasn't still mired in Strong's shit contract, they could probably afford to fly out their pep squad and band. USF really did accomplish something cool by getting this far, they deserve to have some support at the Disch. Maybe DeSantis and Abbott can make one of those fun Governor's bets on who wins. USF wins, and DeSantis gets a full brisket made from USF bull and smoked by Aaron Franklin. Texas wins, and Abbott gets to punch that ridiculous hairdo off of DeSantis' head.

June 10, 20214 yr Christ this series needs to start so we can stop whining about helmet stickers. The only thing I give a fuck about is frog stomping the world the next 3 weekends and restoring order to the world in the process.

June 10, 20214 yr josephcook Inside Texas Writer Staff member 20 minutes ago New Add bookmark #1 Who is Texas facing in the Austin Super Regional? Well... Head Coach: Billy Mohl (Tulane ’07) Record: 31-28, 14-14 American Batting average: .264 Home runs: 55 On-base percentage: .357 Slugging: .401 Runs: 315 ERA: 4.04 WHIP: 1.32 Fielding percentage: .968 PITCHING USF used a combination of Dylan Burns, Collin Sullivan, and Jack Jasiak on the weekends this weekend during the American’s conference schedule, which put double-headers on back-to-back days. The order switched several times throughout the season, but Burns started game one of the Gainesville regional versus Florida with Sullivan following against the Miami Hurricanes. Burns entered in relief against the Gators and has several relief appearances this season, so he could be a bullpen arm for the Bulls should they need him against the Horns. #15 Collin Sullivan: 3-3, 3.69 ERA, 1.28 WHIP, 78.0 IP, 86 H, 14 BB, 88 K, .271 opp. BA #49 Jack Jasiak: 6-7, 2.89 ERA, 1.01 WHIP, 93.1 IP, 73 H, 21 BB, 89 K, .210 opp. BA #12 Dylan Burns: 5-5, 4.08 ERA, 1.37 WHIP, 75.0 IP, 69 H, 34 BB, 82 K, .249 opp. BA Two Bulls lead the way out of the bullpen, at least in terms of appearances; Orion Kerkering and Logan Lyle. #34 Orion Kerkering: 5-3, 5 SV, 2.28 ERA, 1.44 WHIP, 47.1 IP, 38 H, 30 BB, 60 K, .210 opp. BA #22 Logan Lyle: 5-1, 4 SV, 2.01 ERA, 0.99 WHIP, 44.2 IP, 30 H, 14 BB, 45 K, .186 opp. BA HITTING Overall, only two bats in the Bulls' lineup look to be a threat versus the Longhorn staff in third baseman Carmine Lane and first baseman Riley Hogan. #9 Carmine Lane: .315/.368/.510 (AVG/OBP/SLG), 43 RBI, 11 HR, 44 R, 19 BB #32 Riley Hogan: .296/.392/.513, 40 RBI, 12 HR, 40 R, 29 BB They also have a stolen base threat in #6 Matt Ruiz, who is 8-of-12 on the year. His OBP is .385. Ruiz, Lane, and Hogan are the only USF players with batting averages above .260 and on-base percentages above .380. The path to the Super Regionals USF was not a tournament team ahead of their run in Clearwater, Fla. as the May 24 edition of D1Baseball.com’s field of 64 projection did not include the Bulls. Beginning the next day, USF won 4-of-5 to take home the AAC Tournament title and steal a bid out of the mid-major ranks. They entered the Gainesville regional as the four-seed where they shocked No. 15 Florida with a 5-3 win in the opening game. Hogan and Lane both homered, and a four-pitcher effort limited the Gators to three runs. The Bulls then shellacked Miami thanks to a five-run fourth inning. Advancing through the winner’s bracket, South Florida faced South Alabama in a Sunday game whose conclusion was pushed to Monday. The Jaguars took game one 4-0 to force a deciding game, but USF took the regional with a 6-4 win. It is the school’s first ever appearance in the Super Regionals in 14 NCAA tournament appearances. USF is the only four-seed in the round of 16.

Should not be apart of any of our teams period. I still remember, as a kid, all the grumbling the alums made in the stands and in the much-smaller Ex-Student's Association on game days of how they wanted Mike Campbell to be coach and not Akers. They were many of the same people who painted "FIRE FRED" in white shoe-polish on the backs of their orange "Texas" jackets.
