  1. Final games of Fall season begin tonight. McLennan lost to aggy 2-1 last Thursday. Could not find details. Oct. 14 – McLennan Community College (10 inn.) – 6 p.m. CT Oct. 17 – Texas A&M (7 inn.) – 6 p.m. CT Oct. 24 – Our Lady of the Lake (7 inn.) – 6 p.m. CT
  2. Fight hard, Scott. Thoughts and prayers.
  3. Good find ! Mac Morgan is the UTSA pitching coach. Head coach is Vann Stuedeman, former asst at Alabama and Miss St, in her second year. Props to her for trying to put UTSA on the map with drawing high profile teams to their tournament. I have been down twice years ago when we played. They have remodeled but still a small stadium, <1K. If interested in going, keep an eye on the UTSA site, tickets will be scarce. And hopefully, there will be no "We Messed With Texas" signs after the baseball regional last year.
  4. https://texaslonghorns.com/news/2025/9/27/baseball-defeats-texas-tech-in-fall-exhibition (summary of the Tech game) Very good info from the Statesman. Solidifying 1B, Aiden Robbins seems to be a stud, and pitchers playing the OF. Lamar, 6:30 PM, Friday.
  5. Reminder. Though NJCAA, Temple was 41-16 last year. 2025 Fall Schedule (free admission, each game played at McCombs Field) Sept. 30 – Temple College (10 inn.) – 6 p.m. CT Oct. 3 – Texas State (7 inn.) – 6 p.m. CT Oct. 14 – McLennan Community College (10 inn.) – 6 p.m. CT Oct. 17 – Texas A&M (7 inn.) – 6 p.m. CT Oct. 24 – Our Lady of the Lake (7 inn.) – 6 p.m. CT
  6. https://www.gatorcountry.com/swampgas/threads/pre-game-discussions-9-texas-at-florida.647003/ One of the Florida fan forums. Post #25 is Napier's complete press conf which may put you to sleep, at about 10:45 he is asked about continuing to call plays. Seem to be good fans, good comments.
  7. Oldacre injury and other quotes in the article. Excerpt:
  8. @Gen. Applewhite https://www.milb.com/round-rock/fans/fall-ball
  9. Statesman article. Note the competition at shortstop and early projected rotation. Schloss said last year he thinks Flores can develop like Chris Cortez (aggy, 2d round Angels). I hope he is right. I don't closely follow recruiting, not familiar with freshman RHP Michael Winter, Kansas player of the year. Armed with a four-pitch mix and elite command, Winter ran his fastball up to 95 mph and piled up 100 strikeouts while issuing just four walks all season. One of the defining moments of Winter’s season came when he tossed back-to-back complete game no-hitters, each featuring 12 strikeouts, https://www.prepbaseballreport.com/news/KS/2025-prep-baseball-kansas-player-of-the-year--michael-winter Roster: https://texaslonghorns.com/sports/baseball/roster
  10. https://watch.longhornnetwork.com/video/861062 Great interview with Mike on Texas Gameday this past Saturday. (can't embed video)
  11. Great article on Kyle Russell who will be inducted into the Texas Hall of Honor this weekend. Lengthy, but worth the read. Excerpts:
  12. Excerpts from Statesman article (paywall). Note the logistics of planning for a match at Moody.
  13. Sounds like the Tech matchup was initiated by the Express perhaps as a PR move in addition to the Spring tournament they host. Per his bio, Express President Chirs Almendarez played baseball at UH thus his affinity for the college game.
  14. Son of a former player (Rick), Maverick McIvor, outstanding debut at Western Kentucky. "Apple doesn't fall far from the tree" If you need a refresher on Rick, review a summary of the '83 season, specifically the aggy game. However, don't relive the Georgia Cotton Bowl game.

    Checking for off season news while trying to relieve anxiety for Ohio St. After 1 year at UH, Clay Van Hook was hired by Pierce as the Associate Head Coach/Recruiting Coordinator. Good move for Clay and he was at Rice under Graham for 4 or 5 years. Woody Williams has returned to San Jac after 1 year at UH. Whiting hired a couple of unknown assistants to replace Woody and Clay. The new Pac12 will be: Oregon St, Wash St, Colo St, Fresno St, San Diego St, Texas St, Dallas Baptist, Utah St, Gonzaga (no football). And remember when Clay had to catch at the B12 Tournament due to injuries. Oversized equipment was not good.
  16. Not that familiar, team roster below. If you have time, send us some photos like you did for baseball. For the record, LB beat Hawaii 2-1 and lost an exhibition game to USC 2-0. https://texaslonghorns.com/sports/womens-soccer/roster
  17. Early day tomorrow due to Mets/Mariners coming to the games and interact with players. Recommend viewing to see the great interaction. 2d year in a row for Juan Soto, there last year with the Yankees. Kids love him. Here's what's coming up on Sunday: Northwest vs. New England at 9 a.m. ET Canada vs. Australia at 11 a.m. ET West vs. Great Lakes/Mid-Atlantic Winner at 1 p.m. ET Panama vs. Game 15 Winner at 2 p.m. ET The evening will close out with the Seattle Mariners and New York Mets playing in the MLB Little League Classic at 7:10 p.m. ET.
  18. They've already lost, mentally, it seems. Echo your thoughts. In the 1st, thought the coach should have made a visit after the error to settle them down and boost confidence.
  19. CT 5-1 over Hawaii in a key game on the road to the Championship. Props to CT coaches for having team expand Hawaii pitcher pitch count especially early. Don't have to swing at every pitch even if it is a strike. CT pitcher today not quite as good as the pitcher who beat Lamar, but he is close. Lamar vs MA, 2PM, Sat
  20. If interested, SECN will present a season preview tonight at 6PM. Probably not as informative as what our own @Js1 provides.
  21. He was retained after the 2016 incident which was found not have violated Title IX. A new AD was hired later in 2016 and fired him in 2018, 2 weeks before the season started. Maybe another incident or personality conflict. But 2 weeks before season is an alarm. True CDC approved, but "We'll see, says the Zen Master". He was very successful at Mizzou. Ole Miss hit .302 last year up from .268 in '24. https://www.kshb.com/sports/college-sports/mu/veteran-missouri-softball-coach-fired
  22. mmm, don't know. Baggage there @FloridaHorn may have details. Alleged verbal abuse of players at Mizzou and abrasive leadership style. He was only at Ole Miss for 1 year, prior to that AD for the Jefferson City, Mo school system. Seems he would have been offered asst position earlier, perhaps he was and declined. Personal opinion, best to have an up-and-comer like Singleton. Would be interesting to know other candidates. https://www.flosoftball.com/articles/6093152-missouri-fires-softball-head-coach-ehren-earlywine
