Heck of an outing for the lefty. But what an anemic effort with the sticks. Time to break out the bottle of distilled voodoo that somehow overcame it yesterday.

Your 2021, 2022, 2024 & now 2025 directors cup champions.
Next year we should be back over 1300 team points, per usual. This was a down year for DC scoring by Texas...but still enough.

And those bonus points in beach VB sure came in handy. How are golf and tennis looking? I trust we'll stay strong in rowing and swimming/diving.

My way-too-early prediction is that we win it again next year. Might not win the title in softball, but I think men's sports as a group will score more points. Only a year, or very nearly so, until we find out.

Congrats to every Longhorn who scored at least a point. We needed them all, as noted. And thanks to aggy for helping us secure another Cup. I know they're proud of that.

I cared about winning the Cup because, why wouldn't I want Texas to win it? I want us undefeated in everything forever. But alas, despite 2 national championships and a sound thrashing of the SEC across the board this year, we jacked around and blew it...evidently because we can't recruit/coach enough great T&F athletes in a state loaded with them. I think Texas State's 2 high jumpers outscored our men's team. That ain't gonna cut it.

Get him into the program and then sort it out. If you've seen his highlights, he's about the biggest Swiss army knife in the land. Great feet and deceptively quick. With the right S&C regimen and positional focus he could turn into something special.

Not saying it would. For all I know, they aren't looking to play anyone decent before the B12 starts anyway. But maybe it would send some useful message within the greater softball community. Whether or not the donors or administration care is another matter.

I'm impressed with how quickly Tech has moved from the ranks of forgettable also-rans to Public Enemy #1. Not quite the same as Jimbo's 2022 auction haul, but some parallels. Back then we had Saban to serve notice, but will anyone other than Weekly do it this time? As noted, Tech's moves aren't illegal per se, just unsavory. A large-scale boycott of scheduling the tortilla tramps seems in order.

Cutting it ridiculously thin. Hopefully our women can do enough to get us the Cup. I'm no T/F expert, but I can't imagine Flo was brought in to produce such lackluster results.

If she were in the SEC, her ERA would go up...if only because she'd more often face Texas. Her career ERA vs. the Longhorns is over 1.00.

Many casual fans seem to think this is all great. They aren't supporters of any of the programs negatively impacted by the sudden spate of tampering, and they gullibly believe it's David suddenly rising up against Goliath. They don't know how devious this whole mess has been. Even OU is on the verge of emerging as a sympathetic figure, which I never thought I'd see. I really hope this whole thing blows up in Tech's face.

She has salty stats and is a great competitor. Her versatility could be a plus in Austin the next couple years. Come on down. https://www.abqjournal.com/sports/article_9e54604c-4ca1-4ddb-b803-c1ed7b10a881.html

Do you think Mack makes it on into Austin? Sounded certain earlier. Hope he does.

What's up with Stewart visiting Tennessee? Sark and Co. OK with that?

One would hope. All I feel sure of is that Tech is going from feisty underdog to the rich jerk everyone detests...and in record time.

"Ten sources confirmed with Softball On SI that Nelson or The Matador Club also contacted Taylor Pannell, Isa Torres, Dakota Kennedy, Reese Atwood, Kasidi Pickering, Maci Bergeron, Dez Spearman, and Tori Edwards." 😡

What are we anticipating for points on the women's side?

And I believe Tech itself is like 1-16 against Texas over the past few years. The win (not against TK, of course) came because we kicked the ball around like a Pee Wee soccer team and hit a batter who was probably about to K.
