  1. For the first time since 1999, when the 64-team bracket was created for the national tournament, there won’t be a regional host from Texas. https://www.kxan.com/sports-general/horns-report/texas-longhorns-not-named-regional-hosts-on-the-road-to-start-ncaa-baseball-tournament/

    Tulane (18-40, 164 RPI) defeats East Carolina in AAC Champ Game and steals a bid. A bubble team will miss out. Fair or nah ?

  4. Professional response by Mike White - the way coaches at The University of Texas are supposed to respond. The fact that he trusted Citlaly to get to game 3 bodes well for the future. FROM HEAD COACH MIKE WHITE "First off, congratulations to the University of Tennessee for making it to the Women's College World Series for the first time in a little bit. It was a classy act out here all weekend. The fans were really good and conducted themselves in a good manner, which is something I believe needs to happen more around our sport because some places are getting a little rough to play especially for the student-athletes. The field was good; the umpires did a good job; everyone who helped run this weekend's action, it was very well ran. To my team, it's always tough to finish the year out, especially when we let ourselves down a little bit there with five errors and nine runs allowed. That's just a tough way to finish it, especially after how well Citlaly (Gutierrez) threw for us. You just aren't going to win too many games with only two hits. We have a lot of work to do, but I feel confident and proud of our team. We have a really good group of young women and we have a lot to build on and this season was just a start for us." FROM FRESHMAN CITLALY GUTIERREZ "We have to use this weekend as motivation for next season and just keep on building on what we have. We have a lot of young talent, so I think over the coming years, we are going to have something special." https://texassports.com/news/2023/5/27/no-8-8-softball-sees-season-end-in-super-regional.aspx “(Gottshall) spins it well, there’s not too much thrown across the plate,” White said. “I’m disappointed in our hitters. We’re better than that. It was just not our day.” The major miscue happened with the bases loaded. Guilia Koutsoyanopulos singled to right. The ball rolled past right fielder Ashton Maloney all the way to the wall. And an error on the relay throw allowed Koutsoyanopulos to score. “I’m not sure what went right in that inning,” White said. “We couldn’t make a play. There were players hanging their heads. You can never give up. We have a lot to talk about (in season-ending meetings). I never ever want to see the happen again.” Everything White will evaluate will come within the context of a young team earning its stripes. “We can use what just happened as motivation for the offseason,” White said. “We were right there at the end of last year. We had a big turnover in leadership. I believe that everything happens for a reason. This will turn out to be a great learning experience for us. There are positives to take away from this.” https://www.statesman.com/story/sports/college/longhorns/softball/2023/05/27/texas-softball-loses-to-tennessee-as-its-season-ends-in-knoxville/70263961007/
  5. Mac pitched a very competitive game, albeit for 1 pitch. Hindsight always 20/20, 1B open, elected to pitch to Puni who has 4HRs in last 3 games. However, next batter (Gibson) has more HR's for the season than Puni. Tough call for MW. We can beat this team. Need more discipline on cutoff throws. Tenn very aggressive on basepath.
  6. Dang, never heard of Davenport. Checked google, they are located in southern Comal Cty, FM3009. Looks like they may have talent from Smithson Valley, SA Johnson, and possibly Schertz Clemens. @F250 are you aware ?
  7. Oregon @ OKSt, 8PM, ESPN2 Should be a good one. Oregon looked strong in taking down Arkansas in Fayetteville. Georgia currently leading Fl St 1-0 after 2.5, ESPN2.
  8. College Baseball Central & Streams | Conference Tournaments (therealstreamhub.site) Normally works, difficult site to navigate due to extraneous info like schedules and weather reports. Sometimes you have to search for the links. Also, sometimes the link is not posted until right at game time. And a few times don't have links. Were these your issues ?
  9. Quotes from KXAN article. Vid below give a look at Ashley Rogers, Tenn ace, and nice views of the stadium/field. Milloy, mentioned in the article, is leadoff hitter. Tenn has 6 pitchers and uses them all, including Ryleigh White who transferred from Texas after her freshman year. Excerpts: Lady Vols outfielder Kiki Milloy, daughter of 15-year NFL veteran defensive back Lawyer Milloy, leads Division I with 25 home runs and a slugging percentage of 1.013, meaning she has more total bases (152) than at-bats (150) this season. She’s fourth in on-base percentage at .580 and has stolen 37 bases, 11th in Division I, so she impacts the game everywhere she goes. In the circle, Lady Vols pitcher Ashley Rogers is third in Division I with a 0.73 ERA in 124.1 innings this season. Both players have helped the Lady Vols to a 44-8 record this season, and if the Longhorns want to go on a run like last year’s — all the way to the championship series of the Women’s College World Series — they’ll have to take out one of the best teams in the country. “Tennessee is tough and athletic, and Kiki Milloy is special,” Longhorns head coach Mike White said. “We have to make sure we are pitching carefully and pick certain situations to go at her. Hopefully, we can get some runs and be able to challenge her a little bit, otherwise we’ll have to pitch around her a little bit.” NCAA softball super regionals: Texas Longhorns well aware of star power on Tennessee Lady Vols squad (kxan.com)

  11. Didn't Alameda back out at the last minute, also Kenny G ? and likely others not known. Likely got raises to stay. Something was wrong other than facilities and possibly salary, also few proven coaches not wanting to move. No idea about player relations, but I think she is a good coach and due to the facilities and aggy support will be a challenge. That said, Valentine (former ASU commit from Phoenix) entered the portal. Pinch hit that 3 run HR which prevented the run rule.
  12. Trisha Ford is going to be a problem - said with respect and hate equally divided. Noticed in the postgame team/coaches "high five" line there was no interaction (no words) between her and Mac.

    SEC Tournament starts today if you need a college baseball fix. Tenn/aggy should be a good one. Tuesday, May 23 (single elimination) Game 1: No. 6 South Carolina vs. No. 11 Georgia, 9:30 a.m. (SEC Network) Game 2: No. 7 Tennessee vs. No. 10 Texas A&M, approximately 1 p.m. (SEC Network) Game 3: No. 8 Kentucky vs. No. 9 Alabama, 4:30 p.m. (SEC Network) Game 4: No. 5 Auburn vs. No. 12 Missouri, approximately 8 p.m. (SEC Network) https://www.al.com/sports/2023/05/sec-baseball-tournament-2023-complete-bracket-pairings-tv-schedule.html
  14. D1Baseball Weekly Chat: May 22 • D1Baseball D1Baseball Weekly Chat: May 22 • D1Baseball (additional link) D1 Chat. May be behind a paywall by time you click. Chat was publlc. Other pertinent B12 discussion in addition to below. Corbin 12:11 How much does conference tournament performance play into seeding? Has West Virginia played themselves out of a hosting spot and can Oklahoma State do enough in the Big 12 tournament to be a national seed? Aaron Fitt 12:11 I think the Big 12 tournament will matter significantly, since it's so hard to separate those top three teams -- they've all beaten each other. It feels like UT has to be ahead of WVU right now based on the sweep, which is just a tick louder than WVU taking two of three from OK State or OK State taking two of three from Texas. So right now, WVU is probably third of those three, even though I really like WVU's resumé overall. I don't really see any of these teams getting into the top 8, but 2 of the 3 could certainly host, and how they fare this week will play a huge role, I suspect.
  15. https://www.espn.com/college-softball/scoreboard Regional scoreboard. Durham Regional played earlier today. #8 overseeded Duke got a HR in bottom of 6th to edge George Mason 2-1. Duke had to bring in their ace pitcher Curl to close the game. Play Charlotte next who upset #2 seed Campbell. As mentioned, Baylor lost to Ole Miss 3-0.
  16. NCAA Softball Regionals Austin Tickets - StubHub Did you check StubHub ? Alot of tickets under $5.00 for the bleachers in right field for game 1. As mentioned, people stand or sit in lawn chairs on the berm behind right field. Likely will be crowded, but you do feel the atmosphere/excitement of the game.
  17. Not to my knowledge. There may be some tailgates with TV's that continue during the game, not sure. There are fans who also stand outside the LF fence and the berm by the RF parking lot with lawn chairs. Some cheap tickets on StubHub, at least for game 1. Are you interested in getting a ticket, or just prefer to watch from outside ?
  18. From email If interested, call ticket office at 512-471-333 or visit texassports.com. Saturday is Senior Day, always good to attend. Note that beginning Friday, aggy and Texas St will be in town for the Softball Regional which will further complicate traffic/parking. Looking to attend a Longhorn baseball game this week?

  19. Interesting that basketball is not mentioned. @closetojumping Any info that can be made public about the Texas baseball and softball programs ? Thanks ! LUBBOCK, TX- The Matador Club, a Texas Tech Alumni-run NIL collective, announced on Tuesday that they would be signing the entire Texas Tech baseball team to “five-figure NIL deals.” This is the third team-wide NIL deal by the Matador Club for a Red Raider program, joining the Texas Tech football and softball teams. The collective will have members of the baseball team use their name, image, and likeness to support Lubbock-based non-profit organizations. The exact amount that each Red Raider baseball player will make has not been disclosed at this time Texas Tech baseball signed to team-wide NIL deal (everythinglubbock.com)
  20. Just a thought. You may want to consider contacting and explaining the situation to your State Representative in a private, confidential setting. Ask him to follow up and monitor with the Texas Education Agency to insure the individual will not be hired in the future in Texas and perhaps to include a national list. State Representatives from smaller communities tend to be more reactive to these situations.
  21. https://shupirates.com/sports/softball/roster Curious about Seton Hall. Seton Hall deserves to be here. 42-16, 2nd in Big East behind UConn, beat them for tournament championship Split 2 games with Tech at Lubbock in March. 3 players from Texas (Friendswood, Missouri City, Cypress) others from Calif, Ariz, and Oregon. Coach knows how to recruit. Player front table, middle, dark hair, seems first to give 'Horns Up, then 'Horns Down. 😊 Great time of year !

  24. Why OKC having Big 12 and SEC softball tournaments isn't impossible https://www.statesman.com/hookem/ I agree with your sentiments but the above is a headline from a paywall article in today's AAS. I can see the SEC agreeing for the tournament to be in OKC for attendance purposes similar to the SEC Baseball Tournament which is held at a minor league park in Hoover, AL. B12 may want to go to the team park rotation due to less attendance after the departure of OU and Texas. Sponsor Phillips 66 will have a say on the final outcome. Edit: That article is from the Daily Oklahoman reprinted by the AAS. Sry I don't have.
