  1. https://weather.com/weather/today/l/f904ca8ddafdb6b615b9962fc48788197f33bc23de727651b54d67ad3b89fe2a Nebraska site says cancellation due to cold weather. They have a point - mid to low 30's at gametime. I miss the Nebraska series. We had some great, competitive games at Haymarket Park before their move to the B1G.
  2. Good points. I share your concern about Stewart. She did not play Saturday against UCF and only relieved Atwood to catch Simpson in the 5th on Sunday. Perhaps the rest will help. Very small sample size, but Stewart and Atwood are hitting .286 and .222 respectively with 1 HR each in conference play. Ok St plays Missouri St today at 4:30, ESPN+. Glad we are off.
  3. Hopefully, the sweep of OkSt last year at McCombs will lead to confidence and victory in Stillwater. Went back and looked at the schedule. Atwood had a game winning single in the 8th in game 1 (1-0) and a game winning 3 run HR in the bottom of the 7th in game 2 (3-2). Game 3, 5-2. Mac pitched game 1, Citlaly game 2, and Czech game 3. We will introduce Teagan Kavan this year. And Mitchell and Stewart. Kenny G is a good coach and will find a way to pressure our defense, perhaps with small ball. That said, Ok St has hit 44 HRs to our 43. https://okstate.com/sports/softball/stats/2024 https://texassports.com/sports/softball/stats/2024

    2024 NCAA Baseball

    https://d1baseball.com/columns/d1baseball-weekly-chat-week-six-3/ D1 Baseball Weekly Chat to begin today at 12PM. Not sure if paywalled, I am not a member. Good info on the national scene, rankings, and discusses different conferences including Texas and the B12.
  5. @Florida St, tonight, 7PM, ACC Network Florida St (18-8, #24RPI) lost 2/3 to Duke (22-2) this past weekend. No shame, Duke is playing well. Like UCLA, at this point Florida St is not playing like the WCWS team we have seen in the past (team ERA 3.95). But Lonni Alameda will have them ready in an enthusiastic home environment.
  6. Weather and Radar Map for Austin, TX - The Weather Channel | Weather.com Radar shows threat of t'storms until approx 3PM.
  7. https://weather.com/weather/hourbyhour/l/354aafe37aa0a42c04081ebbb93de8ee7531422ba721abc3ff758f434c2587ab Thanks for the notice. Looks like both Friday and Saturday could be affected.
  8. Good point. Hope Citlaly is not injured. BYU (16-6) lost 2/3 to Tech this past wknd at McCombs Thur - Sat.
  9. Need to consider a change. Czech has done well but 3rd time thru the lineup is not her forte vs a team like LSU.
  10. Iowa St 38 OU 24 at the half. Speed of game is noticeable. Baranczyk will have to earn her CoY rep in the 2nd half.
  11. https://d1baseball.com/chats/d1baseball-weekly-chat-march-11/ D1 Baseball (not a member) has a Monday weekly chat on the National scene and often mentions Texas and the B12. If you are on the site early (around 11AM ?) sometimes you can read before it is paywalled. Or check their twitter to see if available. afaik, outside of that have to pick up tidbits from On3 and the paysites. Not sure if Pierce has a weekly radio interview.
  12. LSU swept Kentucky this weekend. Hope springs eternal. 😊 Edit: They played at Kentucky so they may be tired for the 11AM game. ☺️
  13. aggy beat Alana Vawter and SCarolina today 2-1 with a walkoff HR in bottom of 10th with 2 outs. Also won yesterday 3-0. SEC next year will be real.
  14. 56 degrees at game time, advancing to 64 by 2PM. NNW winds blowing in at 17-18mph. https://weather.com/weather/hourbyhour/l/400bf8ecc1242481a1b44769d9bb776db578f1a234ddaa49b696ccd2e065055f
  15. Good job, Nadia ! UH had Citaly and staff well scouted. Never were fooled. Was some of it lack of execution, sure, but UH's approach was outstanding.
  16. Friday temp reported to be 46 degrees with 20MPH N Wind at game time, 40 degrees at 9PM. Hopefully will canx and play 2 Sat or Sun. canx and play 2 Sat or Sun.
  17. Schlossnagle radio interview at texags Says he will go with RHP Chris Cortez regular Tuesday starter. Inconsistent last year, fared well this year vs IWU and Lamar. Not overpowering, control was issue last year. Playing at Texas’ field is awesome. You can feel it just during batting practice. There is mutual respect between coaching staffs. We see them on the road a lot, and I've known David Peirce since he was a high school coach in Houston. But it is what it is. I’ve been preparing, even Braden. I said to him, “You have no idea what you are walking into.” Especially next year when you are walking into a three-game series in the SEC? The world may explode. I don't know. But I've been there. I’ve been there for Super Regionals at TCU. But it's not the same. It's not normal, but its great preparation for our league, at LSU and Ole Miss. All of this is great life experience and great preparation for the future. No win or loss will define our season whether it’s Rhode Island or Texas. Yesterday, we had a hit by Bard and put the ball over the bag to extend the lead. Friday night, two swings decided the game, Montgomery and Sorrell, otherwise that's a scoreless game or if we have a couple of balls fall, then that's an 8-0 game. Baseball is so fickle. It's hard to predict what will happen. We want to win ball games, and playing those guys over there is going to be a lot of fun. Chris Cortez playing at Texas will do a lot for his confidence and mine too. I’ve had confidence in him from day one and kept pushing him out there. It would be a great opportunity for him to showcase himself in that kind of environment. All I ask from our starting pitcher is that when I take the ball from you, have us in the game, and I’ll manage the rest with the bullpen guys. If Chris can get out there and give us a great four innings, then we will pass it on to whoever's next on the way. https://texags.com/s/57739/jim-schlossnagle-recaps-texas-ams-3-0-weekend-at-globe-life-field

  19. Do you have a general impression of the Texas fan support this weekend ? Lower numbers than in the past ? Suppose many opted not to purchase lower level ?
  20. CNN article from January. Doesn't mention increased insurance costs for individual consumers. Electric vehicles have been hurting Hertz’s financials, executives have said, because, despite costing less to maintain, they have higher damage-repair costs and, also, higher depreciation. “[C]ollision and damage repairs on an EV can often run about twice that associated with a comparable combustion engine vehicle,” Hertz CEO Stephen Scherr said in a recent analyst call. https://www.cnn.com/2024/01/11/business/hertz-tesla-selling/index.html
  21. Gage Jump, LSU's lefty starter was taken out after 2.1 inn vs N. Illinois on the 22nd. Didn't appear to be performance related, so maybe possible injury or tweak. Suppose LSU is trying to determine if Gage is ready against our LH lineup or go with Luke Holman or Thatcher Hurd (not off to a good start). Or they could have someone waiting in the wings. Regardless, this is a key non conf RPI game for LSU moreso than us. LSU playing Texas St and ULL is not the same. Watched a couple innings of the Rice/LSU game. Small sample size, but they don't look as clean as they did last year.
  22. https://www.statesman.com/story/special/podcasts/2024/02/29/texas-baseball-coach-david-pierce-preps-for-lsu-vandy-aggies/72735099007/ AAS podcast with Pierce first 17 min. 6:45 Witt, 9:00 O'Dowd and Brown.
  23. Not ideal weather, gametime 55 degrees dropping to 51, NNE winds 18mph dropping to 15mph. Pretty sure their ballpark faces NNW. Too bad, always a great game/atmosphere. Alot of youth teams from the surrounding areas including New Braunfels normally attend to see the 'Horns. No video broadcast per TexasSports. Bummer, was looking forward to multitasking watching Vic and the Ladies take down OU. While the game won't have a video broadcast, Longhorn fans can hear Andrew Haynes call the action at texas.leanplayer.com. https://texassports.com/news/2024/2/27/no-2-2-softball-preview-at-texas-state.aspx
  24. https://www.spacecityhn.com/home/ The Astros College Classic is scheduled to be broadcast on the Space City Network. Channel finder is listed at top of page. May require a trial to one of the streaming services if you don't have. Before, did the Astros have a free stream on their website ?
  25. Atwood again fails to block and misses a tag.
