Well we may not be good

Aside from Peyton Holden, we didn't lose any production from last years team. Last year's impressive 24-6 record was a bit misleading however, because we were an incredible 10-1 in matches decided by the score of 4-3. If that were flipped, last year we would have finished with a .500 record of (15-15).

This season, we are currently 0-2 in matches decided by a 4-3 score. Law of averages may be biting us this time around.

May not be appropriate for this thread,  but some may have interest.   ABC interviewed Michael Center this week and DMN previously published an article.    Center seems to be seeking publicity to throw shade to The University.   

Per articles,  he received 100K,  gave 40K to LHF and kept 60K, but blames the review process.   Sad,  feel bad for his family.  

(excerpts)

In a 4,200-word story in Sports Illustrated, Center recounts the fundraising pressure that led him to accept a $100,000 bribe, his six-month sentence in federal prison where he was under suicide watch and his questions about why the punishment at Texas stopped with him. He said he still suffers from post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) as a result of the investigation.

In the SI story, Center disputed the internal Texas report compiled under former President Greg Fenves and released in September 2019.

“There’s no college coach in America — much less at a state school, much less a coach of a nonrevenue sport— who can admit an athlete without consulting other people in the athletic department,” Center told SI. “What they were asking people to believe, it’s just impossible.”

“I was no rogue actor, and this wasn’t my word against their word,” Center told SI. “There were signatures that went along with it. That’s the system. ... There wasn’t one point in the process where I thought people wanted to learn the whole truth.”
