    Not sure, @Fletch alluded to that earlier in the year. Huston was in the stands at Omaha.

    Tulo is listed on our roster as an Assistant Coach though he is a Volunteer Asst. Yeskie was hired as the pitching coach, a great hire, super pitching coach and recruiter with West Coast connections. Cain recruited for LSU and knows the Houston area, Texas, and the South. My guess (guess only) is Earley is the Volunteer Asst. May take a year or two but they should be good, very good. Long term it could affect our recruiting success in the Houston area. Things fell into place for Schlossnagle being able to hire top assistants after head coaching changes at LSU and Arizona.
  3. Excerpts: (not an oil baron, just have royalty interests) OPEC+ was set to reconvene for crisis talks via videoconference at 2 p.m. London time Monday. However, after a two-hour delay, Reuters, citing two sources, said that the meeting had been postponed. The reports were later confirmed by a communique from OPEC which said that “the date of the next meeting will be decided in due course.” Bloomberg also reported that it meant OPEC+ would continue with production quotas at current levels. “For us, it wasn’t a good deal,” UAE Minister of Energy and Infrastructure Suhail Al Mazrouei told CNBC’s Hadley Gamble on Sunday. He added that while the UAE was willing to support a short-term increase in oil supply, it wants better terms through 2022. OPEC+, which is dominated by Middle East crude producers, agreed to implement massive crude production cuts in 2020 in an effort to support oil prices when the coronavirus pandemic coincided with a historic fuel demand shock. Led by Saudi Arabia, a close ally of the UAE, OPEC+ has since initiated monthly meetings in a bid to navigate production policy. It has resulted in a rare public stand-off between the UAE and its long-time regional ally Saudi Arabia, OPEC’s de facto leader. The dispute comes as energy market participants anxiously await policy direction that is likely to shape crude markets into next year. Responding to the reports, John Kilduff, a founding partner at Again Capital, said that the “Opec solidarity dissolved today.” https://www.cnbc.com/2021/07/05/opec-meeting-saudi-arabia-uae-in-focus-over-oil-output-policy.html
  4. Pierce's strength is his recruiting contacts throughout the country. Read that Antico was on the radar due to a contact in the Cape Cod League that saw him at St Johns. Blair had a rec from someone that mattered.
  5. Good point ! Proud of her gritty performance against OU considering the circumstances. We seem to be missing that team leader who keeps everyone engaged both on and off the field. Chelsea Spencer seemed to do that as an assistant coach. Kept morale high.
  6. Informative summary by Rogers and Fitt. Should note that Chris Burke stated on SECN that Arizona's offensive numbers may be inflated due to the elevation in Arizona. Claimed that was the case when he played for the Diamondbacks. #SEC homer
  7. Congrats, Tommy ! Good Luck ! #LifetimeLonghorn Tommy Nicholson enters his fourth season with the program in 2021 after arriving in 2018 alongside the Clarke and Elizabeth Nelson Director of Baseball David Esquer. Nicholson serves as the team’s hitting, infield and third base coach. .
  8. https://www.nfhsnetwork.com/playoffs/state/texas Subscription service $10.99. Personally, not familiar. Check Reddit
  9. Please explain further. Not doubting your word, just did not hear that discussed. Virginia did have a slightly higher RPI (39 - 44).
  10. With all of the attention on Covid, suppose the NCAA is still drug testing tournament teams. Specifically, adderall which increases focus. I may need a dose myself for the euphoria side effect after this game.
  11. https://www.uiltexas.org/baseball/state Above is schedule for State Tournament if anyone is interested.

    Concern is the effect on recruiting in the Houston area. We have made great strides in that area under Pierce (with his connections) and the demise of Rice. New kid on the block always attracts attention.
  13. 8-2, 4th in. Must ashamedly admit I watch the game with no sound and tuned in late. What did they say about Fouts ? Overuse, injury ? Did not start yesterday and bombed today. So often when a pitcher has a no hitter, perfect game in her case, the next outings are subpar. If OU beats Fla St, I may jump.

    TCU forum opines to remain close to his children. Remember seeing him play catch with his son at the Disch before the games at the '10 SR. Tough situation for him. Also said he left Lupton yesterday very quickly without speaking to anyone - including player's parents who always gather nearby after games.
  15. Same sentiments for Coach Candrea as posted above for Lu. A great one, a professional ! Enjoy retirement, Coach.
  16. Great coach ! The game will miss her ! Like the way she waited until after the season for the announcement. Her players may have known but she did not want the attention to be taken from her team, unlike Manieri at LSU. Enjoy retirement, Lu, job well done !
  17. Feel bad for the Florida players. O'Sullivan not trying to win this game. He would have pulled the starter much, much earlier. A sin to let your team be embarassed. Florida likely has internal problems.
  18. https://weather.com/weather/radar/interactive/l/7472a7bbd3a7454aadf596f0ba7dc8b08987b1f7581fae69d8817dffffc487c2 Will be interesting to see when they decide to start Fairfield/Southern. Radar shows a break but more t/s lightning about 4/5 PM. Their game would be interrupted. All clear about 5:30/6.
  19. ASU Coach Smith states they will start Tyler Thornton (RHP/5.73) against Fairfield and Justin Fall (LHP/ 3.86) for game two. They also expect injured pitcher Kai Murphy back (LHP/4.50) though he has only 16IP this year. He did express a concern about the weather which could affect their rotation. (info is in below forum, don't have time to search at present) https://247sports.com/college/arizona-state/board/devils-dugout-102983/

    Hope aggy Kendall is just spreading aggy propaganda. Need to keep Schlossnagle in the B12. He did not "flirt" with Miss St, they aggressively pursued him.
  21. Coach Fields' comments: 5. Not par for the course. The Texas men’s golf season finished with a dud, not a flurry, when it finished in a tie for 27th out of 30 teams at the NCAA Championships in Scottsdale, Ariz., and failed to advance to match play. I think its two studs got worn down and fatigued when Cole Hammer and Pierceson Coody rightfully competed at the Walker Cup and in the Byron Nelson. I know coach John Fields said they factored in the busy schedule, but that’s some stressful golf, combined with the Big 12 Tournament and the NCAA regional in Noblesville, Ind., as a prelude to the NCAAs. “The outcome was unexpected and painful to say the least,” Fields said, “but a function of success, scheduling, COVID and key performance deficiencies. Wouldn’t change my decisions or path this year even if I had a crystal ball and knew this outcome was imminent. We took opportunities as they came. I rolled the dice and lost. Suffice it to say, they hit the wall. In the end, I didn’t get it done. This is my responsibility, period.” Love the accountability. Fields could give some lessons to others for his stand-up position. https://www.statesman.com/story/sports/2021/06/01/former-texas-athletic-director-deloss-dodds-retired-hasnt-skipped-beat/7496359002/
  22. - Tickets still available https://texaslonghorns.evenue.net/cgi-bin/ncommerce3/SEGetEventList?groupCode=BBNCAA&linkID=tex-ath&shopperContext=&caller=&appCode= - Parking UIL Softball State Championships at McCombs Field Fri/Sat. Street/Cemetery area parking limited, probably best to preorder parking. (Below from email) PARKING link https://utparking.clickandpark.com/ Fans are strongly encouraged to purchase parking ahead of time. Advance parking for the East Campus Garage is available online now through Click and Park. Passes must be purchased by 10 p.m. on the day prior to the game. Season parking permits will not be valid for postseason games. Previously, parking was available in the lots below with a paid permit. Not sure if still available for Regional.
  23. Do you closely follow ASU baseball ? Please entlighten us. Saw a few innings of the UCLA games on TV. Not their day. Miss the rivalry of the Gus/Jim Brock years. (perhaps before your time) 🙂
  24. Proud of 'em ! Great representatives of The University of Texas.
  25. Great game, Welcome Back, Mary ! MW says Janae is the most underrated player in NCAA college softball. That ball gets thru and ... Great game by Shea to stay focused after the HR's. OKSt needs stadium security for that outfield crowd.
