I was on campus yesterday and stopped by for a few innings. We were playing Temple JC, which was the 2nd game. I don't know the outcome of either game. It was 2-0 Texas when I left.
We had O'Leary on the mound and she looked solid. I did notice Corona at 3rd (she is tiny). She had a great putout, but also maybe had an error (don't know how they scored it). Sullivan hit a dinger to straight away center, so it looks like she may help us out in the power department. We were sorely lacking in that last year.
It will be interesting to see what the lineups look like today.

Our offense is generally pretty good, despite the personnel decisions probably limiting us from reaching our potential. Our defense and special teams are not just bad, but historically bad, and not just in school history but for college football in general. That level of incompetence is completely inexcusable from the staff. Major changes are necessary, and it would be gross negligence for management not to make changes given that level of underperformance.
Gonna have to go ahead and disagree with you there, Bob. We're a good offense if we are playing teams with terrible defenses. Against good defenses, however, we go in turtle mode and shit the bed. We seemingly have 2-3 running plays and 2-3 route combinations. If good DC has a wrinkle (a line stunt, WTF is that!!???) or makes an adjustment after halftime, we have no answer. We're mediocre at best on offense.

not really 9.95, but Scipio's writeup on BC:
QuoteTCU dominated Texas in the second half after trailing 17-13 at halftime on the strength of Gary Patterson’s 2nd half adjustments that crippled the Longhorn offense, TCU’s exploitation of Todd Orlando falling into old bad habits, and 4 uncharacteristic turnovers in the Longhorn passing game (two on Ehlinger, two on Longhorn receivers running poor routes).
Trailing 30-27 with plenty of time left to mount a comeback, the Longhorns had a chance to rescue victory from the jaws of defeat. The Longhorn defense had to do its part.
After TCU converted a 3rd and 11 early in their drive, Texas stiffened.
On 3rd and 14 at the 2:34 mark, Todd Orlando zero blitzed. it couldn’t have been more telegraphed if it had come in as Morse Code.
TCU QB Max Duggan hit a receiver iso’d on true freshman safety Tyler Owens for a new set of downs and set up the ensuing scamper for a game icing TD (as Longhorn LB Juwan Mitchell blew containment).
If a zero blitz with the game on the line seems familiar, yep. It was. 3rd and 17 against LSU and all of that.
Deja vu all over again.
Tom Herman and this staff have some hard questions to answer during the bye week.
The problem is, they don’t seem to be aware of the right questions to ask.
Hook ‘em.

Rodney Reed denied DNA testing
in Daily Texan
1) I've followed this case closely for many years. Reed is guilty as fuck IMO. Here's what I wrote on the scat site several years ago, with archived links:
2) Many of the latest allegations repeated in press stories about Fennel's alibi and ME testimony about time of death were heard by the trial court, where cross-examination was allowed, in 2017. You can read the judge's opinion here: https://assets.documentcloud.org/documents/4345166/Rodney-Reed-Shaver-Findings.pdf. He did not find this evidence compelling (I did not either).
3) The latest allegation - that Fennel confessed to some white supremacist dude in a prison yard - sounds like complete horseshit, but would be another in a long chain of complete horseshit witnesses that have been paraded around by Reed's team as evidence he didn't do it.
4) Testing the belt for DNA will not be dispositive in any way. If Reed's DNA is found, his team will just say "of course, they were having a secret affair!!"
5) Rodney Reed is the not the hill you want to die on to prove the system fucked over an innocent guy. Find another case - there are plenty.
