Seriously. Out of all of the shitty hires we’ve made, thank Christ Perrin and them weren’t like “well, he’s learned under Augie. He’s ready!!” We absolutely nailed the Pierce hire. Just the perfect for us

There were quite a few pay raises handed out at other programs before we landed on him. I’m thrilled beyond belief, but it’s not like it was a smooth hiring process.

Tennessee appears to have a drop off from last night's starter to today's.  Guy is slow to plate.

Hey, we’ll get to bat in the 9th against an sec team. Thought we may have to wait for Columbia for that. 

The fielding of this Tenn team leaves a lot to be desired.  Tenn has a stars and scrubs feel about them.

6 SB in an inning? Gotta figure that out Tenn lol

Guy is super slow to the plate.  Them Tennessee clowns on the Rant were trying to convince other posters last night's Pitcher was the Sunday starter and this guy today was better lulz.

Yikes. Some teams will only steal 6 this entire weekend.

They had no choice, Baylor stole their pants.

3-6 baserunners in an inning might be the root cause.

Not to mention the pitchers motion taking long enough the bag is swiped by the time the catcher has the ball. How do you miss that as a coach

Oh no that was a cluster. No idea what went down but it seemed like we at least reached out to Casey, Savage, Johnson, O’Sullivan. Really weird process but at the end of the day, we nailed this hire. Idk if he’s the best coach in the country, but he’s definitely the best fit for the Texas job. Dude is gonna have a statue with the other legends in the next 15 or so years when he hangs it up 

At least it keeps us on schedule so far. 
Well there goes that

USC did the same kind of thing when they got Pete Carroll. 

I love the final result. And the point being that we never thought of Skip as the fallback is legitimate. No offense to Skip, but Pierce was always the better hire.

Still better than had this game started 90 minutes later as they finished 9 in the first one. 

His off speed stuff set him apart for sure. 
But his “on speed” stuff was filthy as well. Great location and movement. Not to mention consistently hitting 97/98. I was glad to see him out of there. 

Yes. His stuff was good, though a bit rattled with a runner on and easily stole on. True freshman I believe. Not sure if he was losing his stuff or they had him on a pitch count. He was pulled at 80 or there abouts. Did us a favor as the first reliever was toasted by us and then the wheels came off.
I hope our crowd shows up as we got there at the end of LSU- blowU last night and they were drunk and rowdy and of course obnoxious.
Hadn’t been there 5 minutes with the wife (no pics ) and some drunk frat boys starting talking shit. I just told them “we’ll see you in Omaha”. No comeback.
Hope the team kicks some coonass tonight. [emoji869][emoji869]

So, last night I went to the game with my 9 year old son and my dad. Dad fell down and had a tramatic brain injury and almost died last year during the super regionals. I didn’t think I’d ever go to another game with him. Pretty special night. 

Daughter and I won’t be there tonight.  We’re at my nieces wedding in College Station.  Lots of whooping nonsense anticipated.  Will be streaming the game at the reception though.

AAS reported within days after Augie's dismissal Skip would not be considered.   Only in fans' minds was he a candidate.   Administration wanted a new slate.

It wasn’t only in fans minds. For year leading up to Augie’s forced resignation he was deemed as the predecessor.

Texas tends not to ever hire assistants. I consider Sarkisian a bit of an experiment, and he had head coaching experience. 

I can't ever remember Texas hiring an assistant, except in women's swimming and diving.

Got some friends across the street from the stadium needing tickets that aren't 100+ dollars, anyone need to part with theirs?

They should be 20 online. Buy them on the Astros site and they’ll be on your app 5 seconds later

A bit ridiculous that they sold out of GA tickets. Ballpark is empty, yet I had to buy my son a 60 dollar premium ticket. At least we both get food out of it.

Boo. I guess I can hope they open it tonight.

Truck Yard / 8th Wonder area is infested with lsu fans. Going to be a huge crowd tonight 

purple to burnt orange ratio, easily 5:1

Can't, doesn't say they are sold out, just won't let you continue the process to buy them.

The second Augie was let go, looking at potential replacements, pierces resume immediately stood out. I wanted us to hire him from the get go. There was no Augie or baseball Urban we could’ve money whipped that year. Casey, O’Sullivan, Johnson and Corbin obviously stood out. But man, his time as an assistant at cougar high and Rice was outstanding. His Sam Houston and Tulane teams were really good teams. Made the tournament all 5 years as a head coach and won the Southland out right twice and won their conference tournament one year. All that along with being a Texas high school baseball coach made him “the guy” in my mind

Until a few minutes ago, people were still snatching up the Baylor tickets to get in.
