  1. I think Gerry has told the story several times that Gary recruited Brooks as a safety out of HS and was one of the only people to tell Brooks and his dad that is where he saw him long-term. He obviously had Guilbeau committed at one point too at TCU
  2. Not sure if weird is the right word, but it felt like Jordan had a weird career path here. I remember him playing corner against Bama in game 2 as a freshman in 2022 once Jamison went down and he seemed like someone the coaches trusted early. Then he was moved to nickel and rarely heard from again outside of special teams. I thnk it's been mentioned before that Gary Patterson kept telling the staff to move him to safety.
  3. Gerry with a Brandon Garrison update BTW, looks like Brandon Garrison will visit Arkansas this weekend - as of today. That's not the most comforting news for Texas, OU or OkState. We shall see what happens.
  4. We gave up 17 to UT Rio Grande Valley a week ago. Can’t take anything for granted with this group.
  5. Gasparino is going to be special. All the tools are there.
  6. We’ve reached the point where I hope Duplantier comes back next year for his Covid year.
  7. I’ll maintain my stance that the increase in velocity is the main thing that is hurting him. When he is 89-91 he is at his best. 92-94 the sinker flattens out and he loses it.
  8. Nope. Should be back. Belyeu, Gasparino, Borba, Galvan, Schuessler, Kennedy should all be back. We’ve returned much worse.
  9. Porter Brown had built up more goodwill than O'Dowd but I am quickly running out of hope. At least he is still walking at a respectable rate. I don't know what you can do at this point other than cross your fingers. It's game 42.
  10. Porter Brown back in at DH tonight. Galvan catching a midweek game which is a change.
  11. Gerry says OTF will be surprised if Tacario Davis (Arizona CB transfer) is not on campus soon
  12. Would he make Big Game Boomer's top 50 DB coaches list that you base your opinions on?
  13. I'd assume so. He will handle the in-game stuff. Not sure what the pitching will look like. I think Chris Gordon was calling the pitches after Pierce got tossed but he isn't allowed to make mound visits, etc since he isn't an on-field coach. Maybe they can get some type of waiver for him to do that tonight? I'm sure most of the game will be mapped out beforehand with Pierce around. This guy is first out of the pen, bring in this guy if you get in this situation, etc.
  14. Yeah, Blackshire would seem to be the obvious choice. Bolden is good enough to where he should have a featured role in the return game and be getting some offensive touches even with him enrolling in the summer and entering a somewhat crowded room. Would be a bummer to lose him.
  15. exPort= player entering the portal I guess the rePort is about a player who previously transferred into the program but may be re-entering the portal.
  16. IT "We’re still watching for exPorts with one potential “surprise” as a possibility." There's a strong chance this player will leave. We might find out today. We're also tracking a rePort aka a one-time imPort.
  17. So does Pierce go and hang with Occupy LF (technically outside the stadium) or just watch in his office while pacing back and forth hoping we don't hit 9 batters?
  18. Neutral site against Ohio State, UConn at home and that mini-tournament in Brooklyn already on the schedule? Get ready for a lot of Houston Christian matchups outside of that.
  19. The process used was questionable at best, and when you overturn a run scoring play in the 7th inning of a deciding game of a series for a team and coach trying not to drown, you better be prepared for tempers to flare. The ball never changed direction or speed as it went by Powell. Moreland claimed he thought it hit him “in the back of the right calf”, but you can’t even see that part of his body in the one grainy replay they showed. The second base umpire was staring directly at the play, did nothing, then overturned it and kept pointing to his ear like he was saying he could hear it hit him, which goes to the point of why wasn’t it called that way in real time then?
