Yeah I thought with the “Lonestar Showdown” series back in action that we would face off against aggy in all sports. The Fall Ball game is just an exhibition and shouldn’t count

But I imagine if they said you only get one, we asked for OU. For those curious Aggy: Florida @ Auburn Alabama @ Georgia LSU @ Missouri Arkansas @ Tennessee Oklahoma South Carolina @ Arkansas @ Missouri Tennessee @ Alabama Miss St Texas @ Florida Texas has the weekend of March 7-9 off from SEC play - everyone plays 8 series (24) games with 1 weekend off. So hopefully we line up a good OOC series for that weekend. OU has off April 4-6 and aggy has off March 28-30 Edited September 11, 20241 yr by Js1
September 11, 20241 yr I feel like we play Tenn, kentucky, and LSU almost every year in non-con anyway, so not that big of a difference. Still we play 2,3,5,8, 10, 21, 25, 33 in D1 rankings. That's a pretty stout conference schedule.

Not having the aggy series in softball won’t cause an outcry but I don’t think the SEC would try to leave aggy v Texas off the baseball schedule
September 12, 20241 yr Poor planning by SEC. No aggy and we also played @OU last year. Enormous home field advantage. Suppose former B12 schedule was not a consideration.

September 15, 20241 yr Big pickup for us in the class of 2026. One of the top pitchers in the country.
September 16, 20241 yr 14 hours ago, Js1 said: Also got a top 20 player in SS Anabella Abdullah out of FL for 2026 This girl is an absolute stud. Silky smooth defensively, and can smash it.
September 16, 20241 yr Steve Singleton, recruiter extraordinaire. Quote Abdullah hails from Florida and recently won the Alliance Fastpitch Championship Series with the Texas Bombers organization. She is the top-ranked position player in the class and second overall. In a previous conversation with Softball America, Abdullah mentioned she wanted a program that allowed her to be herself defensively and seemingly found that fit on the Forty Acres. “I first met (hitting) coach (Steve) Singleton when I was 13 years old randomly at a softball event that I was actually too young to attend. We immediately connected. I then that year attended a camp at Texas and it just felt like home,” she said. “Throughout the years my relationship with Coach Singleton continued to grow, and in addition I became very close with the rest of the staff. I’ve met and felt comfortable with their team and their culture. I know that they have the track record and resources to help me become the best version of myself as a softball player and a person. Also, I love that they have a long history of Olympians, which is one of my goals.” Top 2026 Recruits Anabela Abdullah & Madi Doty commit to Texas (on3.com)
September 16, 20241 yr Softball America has both in their top 5 for 2026. That seems pretty good. White following Sark's lead in building elite talent.

All the women's programs are recruiting elite talent. Including the soccer team that really shouldn't be recruiting at the level they are based on results. NIL has to be a big reason why.

September 24, 20241 yr On 9/20/2024 at 8:35 AM, Js1 said: Only if you're gonna drop some coins, cuz they ain't free I know from 1st hand experience that they are not accurate either. Case and point, my daughter had a travel ball teammate who was a good, not great, player. She was tall and athletic and played SS. When the team traveled to California for PGF, her dad greased the palm of a writer for Softball America to do a write up on her. Within a month of the article coming out, she had multiple offers, and committed to a big time softball program up north. Sometimes, these websites and publications scratch the backs of the travel teams and college coaches in return for a little publicity or shout out here and there. It is all about the clicks and money.

September 29, 20241 yr Staff was busy yesterday, saw a local swatx/Bombers '26 OF recruit on the field pre-game. Hope it works out for her.

Reached out to a few SB folks for info on her but nothing so far. SA area softball contact sent me this re: Busceme: Plus speed, loves the game, fluid athlete, low maintenance & has feel for the game at plate/bases/CF. Was going SEC if not w/us. Believes best is ahead of her on the diamond.
October 2, 20241 yr Per SECN+ schedule, they will broadcast the OU softball intrasquad game at 6:30PM, Wed. Early look at their new catchers and pitchers. Would be nice if SECN+ would broadcast our Fall game with aggy on 18 Oct. https://www.espn.com/watch/collections/448368b8-411a-11ee-9ec0-02571ed8de13/secn+-live-upcoming

The lineups were pretty much the same players to start the game, but some diff positions. Mitchell played 1st, Kaydee Bennett LF and Stewie caught, Reese DP game 1 with Teagan pitching. Goode hit a HR Game 2, Scott moved to LF, Mitchell to 3B, Stewie 1B/Atwood C and Hunter at DP. Mac pitched. Reese hit a HR Edited October 5, 20241 yr by Js1

October 11, 20241 yr Author Just now, bschoolprof said: At the game tonight. Down 2-0, top 3. Who started in the circle?
October 11, 20241 yr Great night at the ballpark. 15-3 final. Weather was perfect and it was a packed house - never seen that for a fall game. Neither of the freshman that played (Salmon and Brister) wowed, but they didn't play much. It was a bench clearer.

Or mention they played TXST last night.
