  1. We foster cared for a chihuahua something like 5 years ago that I swear to god we still miss.
  2. Shit this was gonna be my answer. Oh well. next answer Austin when Clarksville was home to the musicians and Townes and Guy Clark were shooting cans with shotguns in the front yard.
  3. This weather has been so awesome I’m choosing to ignore all my problems today. I loved every minute of it. Sitting outside right now listening to some fantastic music and drinking a nice burgundy after dinner and just breathing that cool clean air.
  4. Anytime I think about giving up, it’s rarer these days but it’s happened, I think of simple things like this.
  5. I think we are competitive top 10-15 and stretch to 6-8 in some years at the end of the season. I think we’ve seen the best DP can do, it’s not bad, it’s just not good enough.
  6. I can’t imagine DP isn’t 100% responsible for roster management including allocation of known NIL dollars and picking and choosing players and how much they get. That doesn’t mean he’s got access to more carte Blanche. if he needs $50k more or $100k more he’s gotta ask for it. I’m pretty sure we don’t have that guy that will bump us up year in and year out for a special talent. We are top five but we don’t have a Marucci. I’m pretty sure closetojumping has all but confirmed that.
  7. They are different but closely related. I can’t imagine a HC that would tolerate sharing that ultimate decision making responsibility though. I can’t imagine DP isn’t the bottom line decision maker in both. Having to ask for money is not truly allocation.
  8. Now we’re on to something. I highly doubt anyone but DP manages the roster.
  9. We were the premier pitching program not that long ago. We ain’t shit now. that’s on DP. He’s got to go.
  10. I think his over performance at year end is alluring. But it’s fools gold. I think his management of NIL and the staff is extremely suspect. He shouldn’t coach pitchers. He’s always got gaps in the roster. I’ve lost faith. I think his ceiling is top 10-15 over performing at the end. We need top 5 and over performing at the end.
  11. And simply letting kids have more individual style ain’t winning shit. CDC is a smart mother fucker. He’s going to right the ship, frankly I hope we just rip it off this year and get on with it. we get our house in order it’s LSU and Texas at the top of the SEC for a long time. The mystique of Texas will return. This isn’t rocket science but it isn’t as easy as printing names on their jersey and letting them flash bling. DP needs to go and Longhorn nation especially admin and mlb alumni need to step up.
  12. Bottom line is college baseball went ultra competitive and we really didn’t change. They all caught up to Texas and Texas hasn’t done much of anything. NIL yes but not well enough, facilities upgrades but let’s face it we were behind and we probably still are. Get with the program and the old school approach to team first will still work, no doubt in my mind.
