March 4, 20196 yr I just do not get the galindo haters. The guy has a good voice, is a fan of the program, and clearly has a passion for his job and UT sports. No reason to hate on the guy the way our fans do. Is he perfect? no. who is? is he a good ambassador for our programs and energetic with broadcasts? Yes. He is. It's a tier 3 dedicated network. we aren't getting the ghost of Keith Jackson.
March 4, 20196 yr Took a group of boys to game Saturday, was a blast. Horns really showed up this weekend. Picked up some Yeti cups (which look great) and I love the full bar feature at the game now. (don't remember this being an option last year) Was nice seeing Horns dominate across the board, even if it was against an unmotivated SEC team. 🙂 (love how that is common theme every time Texas whips on SEC teams)

Also I’m pretty sure Ricky Williams wants to murder him.

It's a tier 3 dedicated network. we aren't getting the ghost of Keith Jackson. I used to think like this. And then I started actually listening to him on the broadcasts. He says so much stupid stuff. It's maddening. And then when you get to listen to broadcasts like this weekend with three guys in the booth that really KNOW the game, the contrast is just too great to ignore. Even though none of those guys really are cut out for PBP (Keith does a passable job), the quality of the observations you are getting is so enjoyable. Galindo brings none of that.

It's a tier 3 dedicated network. we aren't getting the ghost of Keith Jackson. he wants to call a baseball game like its basketball or football. its not the same. Keith, while a bit marble mouthed at times, understands that. Galindo also wants to be the color guy along with PBP way too much. he's not funny(except when Swindell makes him the butt of the jokes). he also doesn't need to "feed" Greg and keith talking point questions, which go on way too long. They know what is going on in the game and they know the stats(especially Keith) of the players. they'll talk when they need to and don't need him to prompt them. He's OK at basketball(besides the nickname thing) but he's just bad at baseball.

The best is when Keith and Zeke are starting to dive into a really interesting discussion on pitching mechanics or a pitcher's approach to a certain situation, and then a foul ball is hit into the stands that knocks over some kid's cotton candy, and Gallindo completely derails everything: "OH MY, MY DUDE JUST DROPPED THE COTTON CANDY. HA HA HA HA SOMEBODY'S GOTTA GO DOWN THERE AND HELP MY GUY OUT, GET HIM SOME COTTON CANDY. Zeke, let's take up a collection, get 10 bucks down to that kid" Then awkward silence as Moreland and Swindell realize the moment is dead and they'll never finish their discussion.
March 4, 20196 yr Its not good when your PBP thinks he is part of the "show". what he doesn't get is people watching baseball on LHN in the middle of the afternoon on a weekend are actually only baseball fans who want to listen to guys that know the game.
March 4, 20196 yr He is trying. The network is the job squad overall. I am curious, is the majority of the hate by unmarried men, or those early enough in their relationships to not have mastered the art of selective hearing?

March 4, 20196 yr I LOL'd sooo hard at Greg's shot at the guy in the fur coat. Pure greatness with perfect timing. It was beautiful. Galindo probably would have ruined that moment.

March 4, 20196 yr I wonder now how LSU will react after getting their nuts took. Do they fold like USC football?
March 4, 20196 yr 1 hour ago, Beau Vine said: Is this for real? We should excuse him because he's trying? Is this fucking TBall? See, I read that differently.

My prediction is that they'll react like we did after looking like garbage Fri & Sat in Baton Rouge. Ultimately this will be good for their development. Which is why I hate chickenshit non conf scheduling. If you beat everyone 19-2 playing at home against a bunch of dogs, you have no idea what you've got on your team until conference play starts.

Dammit i cant stop laughing. This is spot on. Well done
March 4, 20196 yr I didn't realize this, but NCAA puts out RPI this early. https://www.ncaa.com/rankings/baseball/d1/rpi Texas ranked 87, which gives you a notion of the validity of early-season RPI.
