  • Is Bevo there Lobo? I am really interested to see if Bevo and Schloss have a natural bond and if Schloss willingly reaches out. Bevo is a huge part of our University and football program so if he has

Damn, the disrespect for @UTPhil2006

We're all still in preseason mode. We will be ready for conference 

While playing for Cleveland in 1919 Ray Caldwell was struck by lightning on the mound, got knocked out, woke up, and still finished pitching the fucking inning. And now we cancel and reschedule games because it’s below 40 degrees.

Y'all cancelled opening day against us April 4, 2016 bc it was cold and snowed the night before. Called it the day before. Gameday wasn't a cloud in the sky. Don't wanna hear it.

Temps tomorrow are supposed to be in the 20's by 9pm. Why wouldn't we move it up? It would be dumb no to.

I was going to head down to Austin for this series but canceled those plans earlier in the week.  Glad I did because I would have only gotten to see 1 game now.  Now heading down March 7-9.

Then in 1944, they tried satin unis, thinking they would be seen better under the lights.  Lulz.

Pants lengths have been up and down through the years. Some players liked showing off the leggings or stirrups. How do you think the Cincinatti Red Stockings and Red Legs got the name before becoming just known as the Cincinatti Reds. They wore the pants at knee length with red socks or stockings

Then players didn't wear the stirrups, and sanitary socks were made with a stirrup like stripe up each side of a sock.

The P. T. Barnum of baseball Bill Veek when he owned the White Sox decided that they should wear these uniforms in 1976.

Ralph Garr In Shorts,1976 White Sox | Mlb uniforms, White sox baseball ...

Some players started wearing longer socks all the way up to or beyond the pants underneath because of what sliding would do in those shorts.

They were known as the Red Legs during the 1950's because of Joe McCarthy and his "red scare" scourge, not anything to do with the uniform.

Helobious has to be punching air right now. First Texas, now the Yanks!

Looks like Texas Baseball is the real trendsetter in the sport. Yankees are just followers of the true GOAT program.

How I remember it....

Rupp had switched up his walkup song and was having a horrible game (yes, against Nebraska).  For that last AB it was switched back to King Kong (Jibbs) and he went oppo for the walk off.

Don't think it hit the sign, could be.

Longhorns aren’t the Yankees of college baseball, the Yankees are the Longhorns of pro ball.

Yup, still can’t believe there are people on this board that think facial hair and long hair is a big deal and shouldn’t be allowed 

 

biggest take away was team having a low gpa….

This isn’t the 70s boomer, kids these days want to be able to express themselves. Fuck off

I can’t believe there’s still people on this board that think this matters at all either way and take active stances for or against it.

I liked our cleanshaven look and I liked being able to easily identify all of our players that way.

But winning is more important. If the coach thinks it is better for the team, then I am fine with it.

I just dread the sorts of facial hair we are going to see.

It’s wild that facial hair is so polarizing but tattoos aren’t.  One is permanent, one can be easily shaved off.

It is downright stupid

People are disgusting. Salt stained baseball caps. Someone who looks like they've spent more on tattoos on their arms than they have on college tuition. Listen to the game on the radio and pretend they all look like Taylor Teagarden when you are rubbing one out if it bothers you so.  :)

Having said that, you better fucking win.

I am so spoiled by the LHN and streaming I don't know if I could ever go back to listening on the radio.

Players will just look like slobs, no biggie. Just because I like something better than something else doesn't mean I am clutching my pearls about it.

I don't have a problem with facial hair as long as it is kept trimmed.  Don't want a DDA looking player out there playing for us.

I was going more hyperbole and alliteration than codeming you.  :)

Playing live poker and watching a dude lick his fingers and then put chips in a pot makes me think that world needs to be cleansed from orbit in sterilizing fire so I hear ya...

Even If he hits 60 HR and has a sub 2.0 ERA?

Article on the Yankees facial hair from the Athletic

Yankees announce changes to team’s longstanding facial hair policy

TAMPA, FL - FEBRUARY 19: Anthony Volpe #11, Jasson Domínguez #24 and Paul Goldschmidt #48 of the New York Yankees talk during spring training at George M. Steinbrenner Field on February 19, 2025 in Tampa, Florida. (Photo by New York Yankees/Getty Images)

One of the most recognizable rules in all of sports is no longer. The New York Yankees announced Friday morning that they will allow “well-groomed beards” moving forward.

“In recent weeks I have spoken to a large number of former and current Yankees — spanning several eras — to elicit their perspectives on our longstanding facial hair and grooming policy, and I appreciate their earnest and varied feedback,” Yankees owner Hal Steinbrenner said in a statement.

“These most recent conversations are an extension of ongoing internal dialogue that dates back several years. Ultimately the final decision rests with me, and after great consideration, we will be amending our expectations to allow our players and uniformed personnel to have well-groomed beards moving forward. It is the appropriate time to move beyond the familiar comfort of our former policy.”

The rule has been in place since 1976 when Hal’s father, George, instituted it for his club.

Players were allowed to have mustaches and hair that did not extend past the collar of their uniforms.

New Yankees closer Devin Williams showed up to report day with a full beard, took team pictures with noticeable facial hair and wasn’t happy about needing to shave. Now, he won’t have to worry about it moving forward.

This story will be updated.
