  1. Trainer accompanied Pierce to the mound in the 9th. May be an issue or gamemanship to avoid being charged with a visit. Likely the former. He was pulled after the batter and the next batter was a LH.
  2. Nice day tomorrow for February. https://weather.com/weather/hourbyhour/l/354aafe37aa0a42c04081ebbb93de8ee7531422ba721abc3ff758f434c2587ab
  3. Voodc Player OU vs Tenn unless stream disappears. If issues, try different browsers. @WBT may be interested instead of the other game.
  4. Hourly Weather Forecast for Clearwater, FL - The Weather Channel | Weather.com Clearwater forecast. Maybe a chance to play NC depending on start times with the other games continuing. Kentucky and Northwestern look doubtful.
  5. UCLA escapes 2 bases loaded jams in the 6th and 7th and takes down Florida St 14-10. Still a pulse in Westwood.
  6. https://www.ontvtonight.com/guide/listings/channel/69047300/espn-news ESPNews has scheduled reruns. Hopefully, one of the broadcasts will be switched so baseball can start on time.
  7. Yep, not really sure McGuire will play. They return their 1B from last year, Gurevitch. Hit only .265 with 6 HR, but fielded .992.

    https://www.flobaseball.tv/watch Unfortunate Globe Life Tournament is on FloBaseball. Not sure, I believe cost is $29.95 per month. Stream hijackers can't pick up their stream. They have preview streams available but you have to continuously refresh. OU vs Oregon (3PM) and vs Tenn (7PM) should be good ones.
  9. https://usdtoreros.com/news/2024/2/16/baseball-season-begins-at-16-texas.aspx USD series preview from USD. Max McGwire, Mark's son, plays 1B. Injured last year, transferred from OU after his freshman season. Was on OU's CWS finals team.
  10. CDC at Town Hall last night. Baseball season is only a few days away. And I am fired up about announcing the Yeti Yard, the newest addition to UFCU Disch-Falk Field. This area will be located outside the ballpark and is a GA non-ticketed area where fans can enjoy the game. Food and beverage will be available for purchase and fans can also bring their own into this area. More details will come very soon!

  12. UCLA comes back from a 4-0 deficit to edge Maryland 6-5. Radio guy said Texas game will start in about 40 min (8:20) if he is correct ?
  13. Awesome changeup. Reminiscnet of another LHP from a few years ago. 😊
  14. OkSt vs Cal St Northridge, now on ESPN+. Texas St defeated UTSA 2-1 with freshman LHP Madison Azua from Round Rock.
  15. https://www.statesman.com/picture-gallery/sports/college/longhorns/2024/02/04/texas-longhorns-baseball-alumni-game-at-ufcu-disch-falk-field/72453095007/ Nice AAS photos of the Alumni Game. Bryce Elder standing alone on the mound postgame, no one around. He loves this place. Great Longhorn !
  16. Opportunty to see preview of Texas Softball and Texas Baseball on Saturday. First pitch for baseball scheduled for 2:30.
  17. Apparently, there are many people in this category (likely including ticket brokers) which warranted this policy. Not just a few which would have been addressed individually.
  18. AUSTIN, Texas – On the heels of Monday's television designation announcement for the 2024 Shriners Children's Clearwater Invitational, 29 additional television designations for the Texas Longhorn softball program were announced by ESPN on Wednesday. In addition to appearing on Longhorn Network, ESPN2, ESPN+ and ESPNU during the Shriners Children's Clearwater Invitational, No. 8/5 Texas will also appear on SEC Network, ACC Network and ESPN throughout the season. Texas' highly anticipated three-game series against No. 1/1 Oklahoma (Friday, April 5 – Sunday, April 7) can be seen on ESPNU (Friday), ESPN (Saturday) and Longhorn Network (Sunday) with first pitch times altered to accommodate television windows. The second game of a three-game series between the Longhorns and No. 9/11 Oklahoma State has been elevated to ESPN2, where the two programs can be seen playing at 2 p.m. on Friday, March 29. Fans can also find Texas playing on ESPN2 on Saturday, April 13, when the Longhorns square off against No. 22/19 Baylor at 1:30 p.m. at Red & Charline McCombs Field in Austin. The series finale of the three-game series between the Longhorns and Bears on Sunday, April 14 will be broadcast on the Longhorn Network at 1 p.m. The Longhorns will be featured in the first linear broadcast of the season when Texas and No. 10/8 UCLA square off on ESPN at 8 p.m. CT, marking the first time the two programs have met on a softball diamond since Thursday, June 2, 2022, when UT knocked off the Bruins, 7-2, in the opening round of the NCAA Women's College World Series. Non-conference trips to Baton Rouge — to play No. 14/15 LSU on Tuesday, March 12 — and Tallahassee — to play No. 3/4 Florida State on Wednesday, March 20 — for Texas can be see on SEC Network and ACC Network, respectively. Of the 10 top five matchups slated to appear across the ESPN networks, Texas will play in seven, including two contests against No. 3/3 Stanford on Friday, Feb. 16 (ESPN2) and Saturday, Feb. 24 (Longhorn Network). The Longhorns' pair of non-conference games against No. 21/21 Louisiana during the Lone Star State Invitational will also be broadcast on the Longhorn Network. In total, the Longhorn Network will showcase all home games of the Texas Longhorns, totaling 36 games this season. In conjunction with the Big 12 Conference and ESPN+, the streaming platform will feature more than 150 regular season softball games. https://texassports.com/news/2024/1/31/additional-tv-designations-announced-for-no-8-5-softballs-2024-season.aspx
  19. Tennessee Chancellor agrees. Link 2 is article about States of Tenn and Va filing a lawsuit vs the NCAA. “The leaders of intercollegiate athletics owe it to student-athletes and their families to establish clear rules and to act in their best interest," she said. "Instead, two and a half years of vague and contradictory NCAA memos, emails and ‘guidance’ about name, image and likeness (NIL) has created extraordinary chaos that student-athletes and institutions are struggling to navigate. In short, the NCAA is failing.” “Regrettably, in this chaotic environment, the NCAA enforcement staff is trying to retroactively apply unclear guidance to punish and make an example of our institution and others,” Plowman said in the email. https://www.knoxnews.com/story/sports/college/university-of-tennessee/football/2024/01/30/tennessee-nil-investigation-ncaa-email-donde-plowman-spyre-collective/72283786007/ https://www.cbssports.com/college-football/news/state-of-tennessee-sues-ncaa-over-legality-of-nil-guidelines-amid-investigation-into-volunteers/

  21. First official day of practice was Friday. Pierce quote below. May want to check TexasBaseball on X (Twitter) for possible info/photos. Witt was among the topics of conversation during UT's first media availability of the season Friday. Pierce said that Witt was looking "outstanding." "The rough summer was probably a good sign for him and us because it allowed him to take a deep breath," Pierce said. "He and I had a lot of conversations of I'm not pushing you to pitch in the fall until you're ready and so he didn't pitch because he needs to get his body right, moving down the hill right, his arm path. Even a guy like Tanner that you look at, he's struggled with some confidence as well so just building that confidence. He's in a really good spot right now. Still a little below a tick of his (velocity), but I like where he is." https://www.statesman.com/story/sports/college/longhorns/baseball/2024/01/27/news-and-notes-as-texas-longhorns-prepare-for-2024-baseball-season/72379652007/
  22. @TommysTinyTowels Props for always posting the pregame summary. AAS story on attendance, not only at Texas but elsewhere. (lengthy) Excerpts: In his postgame press conference, Schaefer described the crowd as "really special." Texas freshman Madison Booker surmised that "we didn't bring it but our fans did." While the Longhorns were appreciative of the crowd on Wednesday, those in the Texas ticket office may not have been. For the Red River rumble, Texas announced a crowd of 5,478. That was the seventh-largest crowd of UT's season. Texas has played 12 home games. On Thursday, an on-campus group voiced its displeasure with the student section at the Oklahoma game. The Longhorn Hellraisers took to social media to say that "As we faced our rival yesterday, we expected to see the stands filled with supporting students, and we're greatly disappointed. We need to come together to support all of our athletes." The Hellraisers then announced that they are working with The Herd, which is an organization that "will support all women's sports, in hopes we can grow attendance in all sports." According to the Daily Texan, The Herd was started by three Texas students as part of a class project. "My goal as y'all know is that I don't want my fans to come see who I'm playing against. I want my fans to come see our kids. It shouldn't matter who I'm playing against, y'all. Texas fans should come to see their Texas team play. https://www.statesman.com/story/sports/college/longhorns/womens-basketball/2024/01/27/texas-basketball-coach-vic-schaefer-discusses-home-attendance-numbers/72373832007/
