Just absolutely insane Don't forget the unsung hero of the game, Austin Dicharry. Went 5 2/3 innings after Wood and only allowed 2 baserunners. On the other hand, Michael Torres went 1 for 12 and left 10 runners on base.

Gutting one out vs Army, 25 inning game, score 8 with a walk off grand slam to win the regional. 2 out of 3 against tcu. Walk off walk against southern miss then ripping Arizona states heart out twice. Game 1 against LSU still fucking kills me.
January 13, 20232 yr I think it's only like 2-3 weeks away, but can't see any details. When the cuss is the Alumni Game?
January 14, 20232 yr I just assumed it would be February 4th just based on when I would expect it to be but now I am starting to worry there will be no fan appreciation and alumni game. That would suck, that is kind of a big tradition for my family.

The only "good" thing about D1baseball.com anything is traffic it drives to the site for them. I prefer the rankings handed out in Omaha.

That said, I know we lost a lot but I have a hard time believing we're not worthy of being ranked towards the bottom of that list. Of course, 7 of his Top 11 are SEC teams. But yeah, don't make a shit. I just like seeing a number, however low, next to our name on TV when away games start the season. A good start would be beat Mizzou, A&M-CC, sweep IU (not a foregone conclusion but their pitching is garbage), and steal one from ARK/VAN/LSU, and 2 outta 3 at CSU-F, sweeP SHSU & Mercer. That's an above average and realistic start heading into Spring Break.

That's an above average and realistic start heading into Spring Break. Unranked is completely fair. Our pitching is a complete unknown. I tend to think it will end up being pretty good with a real pitching coach and a couple good transfers in but that’s certainly no guarantee. Our offense should be able to hit for average and we will be the most athletic team in the country. I worry about where we go for power but there’s some guys in there who can absolutely mash. Defense seems a bit of a crapshoot as we have like 7 quality starters in the outfield but the infield looks thin. This is Texas though so I imagine the defense we continue to be elite.

January 18, 20232 yr Yep, and if I had to pick, I'd prefer to see them unranked than overranked to start the season.

January 18, 20232 yr there are a lot of unknows for sure last year left a bad taste the players were just not a complete team and there always seemed to be some glaring area of under performance and when one seemed to get corrected another popped up interesting that ou sucks was in the finals and is unranked.....Tech is ranked way low as well pitching seems to be a major issue for the Big 12 overall especially this year

January 19, 20232 yr This time last year were we planning Murphy being the player he was? Melendez?Kennedy and Campbell could be dynamic players. Gordon has a chance to be a top flight #1. Then LeBarron, Duplantier, Stehle, Harrison and Morehouse have a good combo of experience and talent. That should be a solid group before transfers and frosh.When good coaching is present, you will find contributors that were not contributors before. I feel as though Pierce does well in the development phase, but it’ll be interesting post-Tulo.I’m comfortable in being optimistic about Texas baseball even if expectations are lower than usual. Count me as one who thinks our end of season ranking exceeds the preseason ranking.
