  1. Fleck is not for everyone, and he knows this. I got to spend some time around his WMU program a few years ago, and here's what I'll say...the guys knows who/what he is and he's all in for that. He is a motivator, meticulously detailed, and 100% transparent. In my time around his program he was invested in each position group, but not meddling. He had standards and expectations for the way he wanted things done, and if those weren't met, he addressed them. Not once did he say anything about skill, technique or scheme. As the kids today say, he "stayed in his lane" and let his coaches stay in theirs. He has built a brand, and his role as HC is to see that every person in the program is living up to the brand. Can we say the same about Herman and Texas? Serious question. What is our brand? Is our HC managing the program and building a brand, or is he busy doing the work that his assistants should be doing (such as calling plays, working special teams, etc)? Does everyone associated with Texas football know what the brand is, are they all bought in to it, and is Herman holding them accountable? Knock him if you want, and he may be annoying as shit, but as a Head Coach I think Fleck is pretty damn good at what he does...and that has jackshit to do with Row The Boat.
  2. Ya, f aggy. Except that last paragraph, sadly, is accurate.
  3. Elish and Ellsworth were great - Elish was unhittable and made LSU's batters look foolish. They were having bad at-bats off her. Adams and Sullivan were great - LSU put the ball in play a few times but nothing our defense couldn't handle with ease. O'Leary and Iakopo - They were bad. O'Leary was all over the place with several walks, and Iakopo struggled to frame pitches close to the zone, and had several passed balls. On one of the passed balls she let the runner go from first to third. Shea was responsible for 6 of the 7 runs I think. Day/Green and ??? - Day struggled to find the strike zone, walked two and gave up and IF single. Green came in and got a ground ball double play (that scored one) and then a K to get out of it. Yesterday's pitching - I wasn't there, but was told that Adams was the second pitcher against Tarleton and gave up the runs including the grand slam. Green was the second pitcher against Vernon and she walked the bases loaded before Day relieved her and got out of it. I would not be surprised to see Green redshirt. Elish is #1, Shea #2 and Adams #3, with Day eating some innings. Day will be a bat off the bench in RBI situations, which is why I think Green will RS and not Day. Day has a very good bat. I think 3B/1B/RF/DP will be a battle, and possible revolving door. 3B - Iakopo did not look good there. LSU hit three balls her way and she ole'd two of them, and was saved on the third by her arm. She is way too stiff moving. When she went out, they slid Parker over there and Slack went to SS. I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that Camille Corona may eventually win the 3B job. I think the staff is going to do anything they can to keep Rhodes in CF. RF - Tedder/Burke/Hathaway 1B - Whoever isn't in RF + Sullivan/Ellsworth DP - any of the above Overall I think our offense is going to be very good, we have an abundance of bats and players who can hit. Defense should be improved, only concerns are SS and/or 3B. I think Parker can fill one of those spots, just not sure who will fill the other.
  4. For a reference and comparison, last week against LSU the game started like this: P - Elish C - Ellsworth 1B - Sullivan 2B - Jefferson SS - Parker 3B - Iakopo LF - Washington CF - Rhodes RF - Tedder Elish threw the 1st three innings (all to Ellsworth), Ari Adams threw 4-6 (all to Sullivan), O'Leary threw 7-9 (all to Iakopo), Day started the 10th and loaded the bases without getting an out, Green came in and got a groundball double play and a K (can't remember who was catching)
  5. I wish I could hear the questions in this PC because his answers are full of excuses. And he’s getting kind of testy.
  6. This. Also 2-3 new Transfer Portal rumors.
  7. It works against our defense every Tuesday in the 11 vs 11 scrimmage, why wouldn't it work against every other team? I mean, every defense misses tackles, right?
  8. Highland Park submitted 2,209 for attendance, so the 5A/6A cut line will be 2,210. (two years ago the number was 2,190)
  9. As someone who just finished binge watching seasons 1 and 2 of Mindhunters on Netflix, the imagery behind this statement is disturbing.
  10. Regarding Saturday's game, it looked to me like Ingram was running like someone who knows there isn't much depth behind him, so he has to be careful. RoJo looked like someone trying to prove he's a dog and wanting to earn extra PT. Not sure either of those fall at the feet of Drayton, nor does the injury bug going around the RB room.
  11. Is Kenyatta Watson not ready to play...you can't tell me he's worse than Boyce
  12. Absolutely embarrassing and shameful that one of our own athletes is attacking the AD.
  13. And where TF is Colin Johnson?
  14. We are going to screw around and give them the ball again. What are we doing? Go to the half and get your shit right.
  15. We are not DBU if we are getting picked apart by these guys...WTF
  16. Burt with a drop...I'm like totally shocked
  17. Nice Boyce whiff there on that tackle attempt.
  18. Our O-Line needs to man the fuck up in the red zone...JFC
  19. HERE...WE...GO...
  20. Watch that play in slo mo, if it ain't picked Sterns was about to decapitate the receiver.
  21. And here...we...go...
  22. Won't be the last time Boyce gets burned tonight.
