  1. We threw 5-6 of of our bullpen guys against this same batting order last month and held them to 2 runs. They didn’t get to see Bocci. I think the risk is really really low and reward is worth it.

    Hmmm.  I suppose it isn't Kingham, so that's good.  But I think it was texassports that suggested we go lower in the pecking order for this game.  I think I tend to agree.

    I agree too. Looking at their schedule and W/L, not sure there is a need to throw a weekend guy. This would be a great game for Bocci or similar. Would rather have our normal weekend guys play in a game 4 scenario.

    What a letdown. Ghim goes out with a choke job. Could be a little bit before we are back in this position.

    I love Ghim. But, he has been pretty consistent in last round, last holes of match play. Letdown is a stretch.

    It would just be to perfect for aggy to lose to Indiana and then Texas Southern sends them home. A boy can dream. 

    Fuck that. We wouldn’t get to play them them.

    Now the question is if Pierce throws Kingham in game 1 against the #4 seed? 

    We're likely going to be paired with somebody like Texas Southern who is #215 in RPI. I think you save Kingham. 

     

    If we get Texas Southern, throw Bocci. No doubt.

    Except, Texas couldn’t beat A&M this season and lost 80% of the rest of the games they played against the SEC.

    Mid-week games are real games.  

    UT Arlington won 100% of their games vs SEC, but 0-5 against Big 12.  I’m sure you’ll agree that this is a solid indicator of league/team strength.

    If Texas can beat Tech, A&M can.  I would guess A&M actually has a better ERA, Batting Average, and Scoring compared to Texas.  All of this against a tougher schedule resulting in a better record and a head to head win against Texas.  

    If aggy can be the 11th best team in the SEC, so can Texas.

  8. I thought UT Golf Club was supposed to host the NCAA Championship this year or next? I don’t see it on the list to host any of the next 4-5 Championships. 

    Did something change or am I off here?

  9. I would trade our 2014 results for what we have accomplished so far this year. 

    Would you? Yes or no.

    I guarantee you would be bitching if Pierce didn't win conference championships.

    Conference Championships mean a ton. We have banners on our park for them.

     

    Going to have to disagree with you there. A major goal of any regular season is to win the conference.

    You guys are just crapping on it because Texas just won one. But the players celebrated like mad, the University is celebrating it, and it had been seven years.

    Please produce evidence that Texas does not consider winning the conference title very meaningful. I have tons of actual evidence to support my position while you have nothing. I mean if it is your opinion...fine. But that is all it is and it is not a particularly compelling opinion and not one shared by the team or the University.

    "After taking the job, Del Conte learned there are “three storage sheds in Georgetown” full of Texas trophies and whatnot. He wants that on full display for all to see."

    I'm not sure where the banners are for all the conference championships at the Disch.  Maybe by the hot dog stand?  Unlike other schools, we don't even list how many CWS we have appeared in.  To my knowledge, we only display CWS championships.  

    Pierce has done a great job with this team and I was there Saturday celebrating with everyone.  Even have a picture with both DDA and the Yeti girl (from behind no doubt) in the same frame as I was taking pics of the team.

    Tulane hasn't been that good lately, but they were the #1 overall seed the last time we won the CWS (2005).  Kyle McCullough shut them out in game 2, IIRC.

    Please don’t tell me we are giving Pierce credit now for the Tulane CWS appearance.

    Pierce has done a great job getting this team to where it is. But, as several have said on here, Big 12 trophies don’t mean much. They are stored in a shed in Georgetown. 

    Lets get to the CWS, and win games there, then we can start sucking the guys dick.

    There's some dangerous #2 seeds in that mix that could be sent to Austin---So. Miss, Tenn. Tech, and Houston.  I'm guessing A&M as a weak #2 or strong #3 gets sent to Lubbock.  NCAA goes out of their way to make sure we don't play each other for several years after the Big XII departure, I could see them thinking this was a quaint idea.  I don't mind playing 'em at this time of year, but their obnoxious fanbase will ruin what could otherwise be a fucking fantastic weekend next week at the Disch.  

    You would have loved the 2014 regional when the NCAA paired us with aggy in Houston.  It was epic.  Horns go up!
