  1. Nice story on Omar who was inducted into the Texas Hall of Honor tonight. (excerpts) What are your memories of that 2002 title team? All those memories will last forever. It was truly a special year of great teammates, my brothers; it was my family away from home. That run that we had, just coming together like a family, and of course being led by the coaches that we had — Tommy Harmon, Frank Anderson and the late Augie Garrido — that was something special that I'll never forget. What was your relationship with Ivan Melendez? It was truly special. I started working with Ivan right after high school, and he put up some really good numbers in junior college. Such a great kid. I wanted him to go somewhere special where he could do something special for the university, and what better than the University of Texas? So I wanted him to come here. Knowing that (Troy Tulowitzki) was here, I was hoping that I could pull some strings and help him get here because I knew he could do something special for the university, and at the same time, the university could do something special for him in setting up his future.

  2. Texas football: Steve Sarkisian has resurrected Longhorns' program (houstonchronicle.com) Kirk Bohls
  3. Steve Singleton, recruiter extraordinaire. Top 2026 Recruits Anabela Abdullah & Madi Doty commit to Texas (on3.com)
  4. https://texaslonghorns.com/sports/baseball/roster . Fall roster. Check, I count 48. Sanders is not on the roster which would be 49. Unique situation. A month or so ago Schloss stated Fall Ball will start o/a 17 Sep. That was the plan at that time. https://informedathlete.com/ncaa-di-baseball-roster-scholarship-limits-for-2025-school-year/
  5. Oops ! Mistakenly looked at '23 schedule.
  6. Poor planning by SEC. No aggy and we also played @OU last year. Enormous home field advantage. Suppose former B12 schedule was not a consideration.
  7. Texas vs Rice games were epic during his tenure. RIP Coach. Rice manager Wayne Graham stands in the dugout before his team faces off against the University of Texas during the Houston College Classic at Minute Maid Park on Friday March 2, 2012 in Houston, TX
  8. UM Coach Sherrone Moore's press conf. Did not know he played for OU 2:27 (OG, '06-'07 per wiki). Juco transfer from Butler CC. We split those games.
  9. A grand lady indeed. RIP, Edith. Nice photo and story from the Statesman. https://www.statesman.com/story/sports/college/longhorns/football/2024/08/26/edith-royal-texas-longhorns-coach-darrell-royal-dies/74950000007/
  10. Chicago White Sox vs Detroit Tigers Live Stream - StreamEast Link for Ty Madden's first MLB start, 7 PM, tonight. Also on ESPN+.
  11. Congratulations to Boerne for a great season ! "It's a cruel game"
  12. Dumb question by Joe Cook. We did that with Baylor for a few years then changed back. Inconvenient for fans and players.
  13. If not posted, nice story on Verlander for the 'Stros fans. Lengthy, but a good read. (excerpt) https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5567315/2024/08/20/astros-justin-verlander-college-baseball-old-dominion/?campaign=10832027&source=top_stories_email&userId=14803355
  14. My bad ! Florida vs Hawaii, tonight 6PM, winner vs Nevada 6PM Thurs. https://www.littleleague.org/world-series/2024/llbws/tournaments/world-series/#schedule
  15. 5-2 final. Super job Boerne ! USA Championship Final, Sat, 2:30 vs Florida/Hawaii. Great move by the Boerne coach in the 2d inning, bases loaded, brings in reliever with soft breaking ball for 2 batters, and finishes the game with his gunners.
  16. https://www.sling.com/programming/sports I have been shopping also looking for access to SECN and specifically SECN+ for baseball. Not sure, but it appears their complete sports package which includes SECN and SECN+ is only available with the combined Orange/Blue combo which will cost approx $70 after the 1 month promotion. May want to check with them to verify. So their complete package is not much less than YTTV, Fubo, etc which offer more regular channels. If you are just needing the basic ESPN channels, it appears the Orange package will provide at $40 per month. I have just began to compare, so others may have more info.
  17. I previously mentioned the Boerne pitcher, Julian Hurst. Someone tell Schloss to write his name down for the c/o 2030. Boerne vs Nevada, 2PM, Wed (US semifinal)
  18. Yankees and Tigers visit this afternoon and play at 6PM at the local minor league park. Always great to see the interaction between the MLB players and Little Leaguers. Boerne plays Florida, Monday at 6PM, preceded by Hawaii vs Nevada, 2PM. Should be two great games.
  19. Through an open record request, the American-Statesman previously confirmed that associate head coach Nolan Cain and assistant coach Max Weiner each agreed to work at Texas for base salaries of $400,000. Troy Tulowitzki, who will be the team's hitting instructor and third assistant coach, will make $200,000. https://www.statesman.com/story/sports/college/longhorns/baseball/2024/08/16/texas-basetball-jim-schlossnagle-contract-longhorns/74761090007/
  20. Excerpt from a story about Seth Johnston. Lifetime Longhorns Seth, Russell Moldehauer, and Bradley Suttle were all from Boerne (maybe others, I can't remember) Also, other aggies and D1 players. Boerne produces alot of baseball talent for a small city, I think population is about 20K. Keep an eye on Boerne's last pitcher, Julian Hurst. K'd 10 and had a grand slam in the tourn champ game in Waco. Maybe already on college teams' radar. Growing up in Boerne back then, almost everybody was an Aggie fan. My best friend in high school ended up going to Texas A&M to play baseball. Growing up as a native Texan, you pay attention to Texas, Texas A&M and, because my mom was from Lubbock and my dad played football at Texas Tech, I also paid some attention to Texas Tech. https://texaslonghorns.com/news/2019/8/20/t-association-what-it-means-to-be-a-longhorn-seth-johnston.aspx
  21. 3-0, Boerne, Boerne batting 0 outs, T 4th. 3rd run was a HR in 4th.
  22. Everyone may want to file the broadcast schedule above. At this time, it is not on the schedule at texaslonghorns.com (hopefully will be added).
  23. Thanks for starting the thread. Schedule below. First game noon today, ESPN. Boerne (Southwest) is representing Texas. First game 6PM, Thursday vs Mid Atlantic (Pa). Little League World Series scores 2024: Updated bracket, results, how to watch LLWS games live (msn.com)
