  1. Bump to the top ! Appreciate @BigOrange1 starting these every week.
  2. TexasSports article. @Js1 Thanks for the updates. Did TexasSoftball twitter follow the games ? AUSTIN, Texas – On November 9, 2022, Texas softball head coach Mike White and his staff signed a six-player recruiting class that was ranked as the fourth best in the nation. 10 months later, that class saw its first action Red & Charline McCombs Field against another opponent, and they did not disappointed during the Longhorns beat St. Mary's and McLennan Community College, 15-0 and 26-1, respectively, to begin its fall slate. At the plate, the six-player class — that includes Adayah Wallace, Victoria Hunter, Katie Stewart, Kayden Henry and Ryan Brown taking trips to the plate — combined to go 14-21 (.667) with a home run, a triple, seven RBI and nine runs scored. The lone pitcher in the class — Teagan Kavan — tossed the first four innings of the Longhorns' game against McLennan and struck out 10 batters, surrendered just a single and did not issue a walk or a run. Four Longhorn pitchers — Citlaly Gutierrez, Sophia Simpson, Kavan and Mac Morgan — took the circle on the afternoon and surrendered just four hits and a single run on the 14-inning day. FROM HEAD COACH MIKE WHITE "The freshmen really stood out to me today. Coming in, you just never know how they're going to perform, and Teagan Kavan really took control of the game against McLennan and threw really well. Overall, I thought everyone played really well, even the returners. It was just a lot of fun to be to mix and match different combinations. For our pitchers today, they were just able to get ahead in the count. Coach (Pattie Ruth Taylor) is our new pitching coach and she's doing a good job with them. They're all really getting to know each other, so I'm excited to see how they're all going to do the rest of the year." UP NEXT Texas will return to the diamond at Red & Charline McCombs Field on Wednesday, Oct. 4, when the Longhorns face off against UTSA at 7:30 p.m. The matchup with the Roadrunners will be the first of two fall games broadcasted on the Longhorn Network. https://texassports.com/news/2023/9/23/softball-opens-fall-schedule-with-back-to-back-dominate-showings.aspx
  3. Wouldn't go down without a fight. Though the contract is clear about your responsibilities, if you haven't may consider contacting the insurance company to see if this is a fair charge and what options you may have. Was it necessary to hire an attorney for probate or other legal matters involving your Dad ? May want to consult with an attorney to get their opinion.
  4. Nice summary. Comments about Utah ? Baylor had a 13-6 lead and gave up 2 TD's in the 4th Q, winner in final minutes (20-13). Utah without starting QB but beat Florida with backup.
  5. Does the hospital have a patient advocacy program that may assist you in finding help ?

  7. While online shopping. Just for info on why Carfax reports are questionable. Clearvin seems to be a more trustworthy site. Should note the car was a Rental vehicle which I understand do not report all accidents. 2023 Mazda CX-30 https://www.clearvin.com/en/payment/prepare/3mvdmbdm8pm526168/? VIN # 3MVDMBDM8PM526168
  8. http://atlantamafia.com/Big_12_Transports.htm The current trailer does look somewhat mundane compared to the past. Scroll down link above to see past trailers. Back to the most important issue, Beat Alabama !
  9. Interesting conversation. Should leasing be included in the exchange ? I have never leased, always considered/tempted. (could not find figures for '23, article from June '23) About 18% of new cars were leased in Q3 2022. Lease payments are generally less expensive than financing payments on a new car. The average car lease payment in Q2 2022 was $540 per month, and the average lease term is 36 months. Leases also may require down payments, plus acquisition fees up front. You face additional fees when you return the car at the end of the lease. https://www.investopedia.com/how-much-does-it-cost-to-lease-a-car-5186685
  10. Sark apparently recognizes the problem. Stated in his postgame press conf Milwee has moved to the sideline this year to improve communication with Quinn. Jackson now upstairs.
  11. Love Deion's demeanor on the sideline - no celebrating, all business !
  12. Did some searching, thought the event may have been free - wrong ! Scotty Mcreery concert after. Regardless, great even for WVB. Good article below. Tickets to the outdoor match will not be part of the Nebraska volleyball season-ticket package and must be purchased separately. Tickets will go on sale to the general public on Wednesday, April 26. A ticket will gain entrance to both volleyball matches and the concert. Tickets will be $25 for adults and $5 for high school age and under https://huskers.com/news/2023/2/24/volleyball-day-in-nebraska-coming-to-memorial-stadium
  13. Congratulations to Needville and the Needville community for a great run ! Proud of you !
  14. The remarks by Yormark solidify the reason for Texas and OU not to ever schedule a B12 team in any sport. They will miss that payday.
  15. I thought 48 players was a high number, but LSU has 46. From google search: NCAA Division I baseball programs will continue with increased roster size and scholarship limits for the 2023-24 academic year in a somewhat similar manner to the way they have been impacted for the past three years. The reasons for these increased limits include: Many athletes still having an additional year of eligibility available as the result of the NCAA rulings related to the pandemic. Major League Baseball reducing the size of the MLB Draft from 40 rounds to 20 rounds. The decrease in the number of minor league teams from 162 to 120. There will be a 40-man limit on roster size for Division I programs during the 2024 baseball season. Up to 32 student-athletes will be allowed to receive a baseball scholarship – an increase from the normal limit of 27 in Division I. The additional “counters” (scholarship athletes counting against the team scholarship limit) must be included in the maximum team limit of 11.7 scholarships and must be provided the minimum scholarship value of 25%.

  16. None at all. I drove it for at least 5 years and probably close to 100K. I sold it to a father for his son at minimal value. I really don't know, but do some research on value of vehicles with salvage titles. Only 2K under market value may be a little high, I don't really know. May want to check KBB and Edmunds to see if any info on salvage title. But do try to get more info on the actual damage and repair. The fact the airbags did not deploy is a good sign, though there may have been extensive/expensive damage to warrant the salvage determination. Or perhaps the owner received a favor from the insurance agent.
  17. https://www.txdmv.gov/motorists/buying-or-selling-a-vehicle/title-check-look-before-you-buy/rebuilt Check the above link from Texas DMV and may want to google subject for further info. I purchased a Honda CRX with a rebuilt title many years ago. It had been rebuilt by the owner of an Auto Repair Shop that I fully trusted. It had a current registration and inspection. Advice is to be cautious. Definitely have the frame inspected. Since the seller is your employee, somewhat of an unusual situation. You may want to ask him for references from his previous customers and for a limited type warranty if you think appropriate without affecting your relationship. Also, it may be possible to obtain more info on the accident and actual damage/repair.
  18. Steamboat the prophet post on 8 Aug. Needville will play in the US Championship Game, Saturday, 2:30, ABC.
  19. Vic met the media yesterday. Worth 25min of your time. Note at about 6:00 he discusses posting the Louisville score in the locker room. At about 11:30 discusses taking selfies with team at first day of class. Injury updates and expectations included. Very difficult to not like this guy. Summary from AAS: Schaefer met with the local media for about 25 minutes on Tuesday. As he prepares for his fourth season at UT, he gave positive updates for Aaliyah Moore and Jordana Codio, who are both rehabbing knee injuries. He shared that sixth-year guard Shaylee Gonzales has recently been given "Grandma" as a nickname. He also discussed why he has made it a tradition to take photos with his players on their first day of class each year. Schaefer said that Texas won't begin practicing until the end of September. By then, six months will have passed since UT was beaten by Louisville in the second round of the NCAA Tournament. Not that the Longhorns will be able to forget that 73-51 loss. Several printouts of that score have been placed around the team's practice gym and facility. Schaefer said he borrowed the redecorating idea from his time at Mississippi State. To end the 2015-16 season, Mississippi State was beaten by 60 points by UConn in the NCAA Tournament. The following year, Mississippi State upset UConn in the Final Four. "We put the number 60 all over our facility, on my desk, in our locker room, on the bathroom stall when you shut it, in the weight room, anywhere, in the elevators, on the stairwell," Schaefer said. "It only works if it works, right? But it's not OK. At the end of the day, it's not OK. It wasn't OK then, and it's not OK here. And obviously that (Mississippi State) team 365 days later had another opportunity at the same team in the Final Four and found a way to win. They had remembered and it was a completely different approach. "Hopefully this team will embrace that same attitude. I believe they have just from their work ethic, what I've seen this summer, the time that they put in.”
  20. Needville beat El Segundo 3-1 behind solid defense and clutch pitching and a HR by their ace Jablonski. (should we offer or wait a year ?) vs Washington, Wed, 2PM, ESPN for a spot in the US Championship Game on Saturday. Taipei vs Curacao at 12PM, Wed for a spot in the Intl Championship.
  21. Curacao gets a 2 run HR in top of 6th to defeat Venezuela 2-1. One of best games so far. Andruw Jones approves. Curacao will play winner of Japan/Taipei on Wed for place in Saturday Intl Championship Game.
  22. Today is MLB day at the LLWS. Phillies and Nationals will spend most of the day at the LLWS park and later play a game at the local minor league park. Tune in and see the great interaction between players. MLB players enjoy it as much as the little leaguers.
