  1. Unfortunately Texas didn't get the diving points they usually get. Scoggin does a great job for the diving team. The women's diving team scored the most points at the national championships compared to other teams. Just not the year for the men's diving team...Windle's legal issues, the national Canadian team member not enrolling, etc.
  2. Looks like Berque heard some rumblings...UTRGV match after Tech. Pretty sure that doubleheader was not there earlier in the season.
  3. Cowgirls lost a heartbreaker to UCF today 4-3. UCF won 3 3rd set matches that included an 8-6 score in the tiebreaker.
  4. Second place finish! Pretty efficient result, I think I saw somewhere that Texas had the fewest number of qualified swimmers for a top 10 team.
  5. Most likely a 2nd place finish with Florida being the champs
  6. Props to Jones, Bizimana, and Carroza: all ran above their seeded times in their individual events and on the Distance Medley Relay
  7. Texas beats NC A&T and wins its first ever Men's Indoor Championships!
  8. On a verge of a National Championships- all down to the 4x400. Need to hold off the NC A&T sprinters.
  9. Cracked Racquets podcast did a number of interview pre season with some college head coaches. Tech coach said that their middle part of the lineup would be the weakest. True to form, Texas had some convincing victories. Next up is TCU. Was shut out to Baylor yesterday.
  10. My understanding was that the .500 requirement was temporarily waived for the 2021 season. This was due to teams having limited traveling capabilities for a full non conference schedule. I have not seen the requirement waived for this season yet (last year I believe it was waived mid season). From what I've heard a lot of the Power 5 coaches want that requirement to be removed.
  11. Really needed a good road win. Texas was flirting with the .500 rule and the schedule does not get any easier.
  12. https://www.fox4news.com/news/support-for-ukraine-at-capitol-amid-concerns-of-pushback-targeting-russian-immigrants Sabina in the news not for tennis stuff but for her homeland.
  13. What the announcer meant was it had to be 0.4 seconds faster than the previous Norwegian male time. Tiebreakers are combine fastest men and women's time. Female Norwegian was faster than US time (24.32 vs 24.72). Previous round the male Norwegian skier was 24.02. Last American was 24.04. Thus Norway won.
  14. Gu added a 540 spin on her second run. Second run was plainly better than her first. No way was Sharpe better. She missed a lot of her grabs. If you look at the replays, you see Sharpe repeated opening and closing her hands trying to reach her skis.
  15. Actually I think Texas will be playing OU on the road this year
  16. Still a solid weekend. Two top 10 wins. Peyton showed she hasn't lost a step from last season. Freshmen are battling hard. Just need Charlotte to get out of her funk.
  17. That's the way women normally are on the half pipe On the broadcast, it was mentioned how great the facility was
  18. Playing against Missouri tomorrow indoors. Missouri is constantly in the bottom of the SEC but has shown that they can beat top 30 teams in the past. Still weak enough that hopefully the Zamarripa twins can get some court time.
  19. Playing Baylor today in non conference match, Baylor has had a lukewarm year so far. Did not make it out of their ITA regional as host losing to USC. Also had a really bad loss against unranked BYU. Like Texas, Baylor's lineup is freshmen heavy
  20. Larson is a great all around player but if you're talking about a pure hitting ability- I wouldn't even put her into top 5 of American history. Larson never fit into the OH1 role as a national team player. In the early years, it was Logan Tom and once Logan Tom retired, the role was given to Kim Hill.
  21. For the second assessment, on paper I'd argue last year's team was better. Tijana, Lulu, Anna and Marta are the four who have left the team from last year. Tijana and Marta were no slouch in doubles (Tijana was actually nationally ranked in doubles before COVID hit). Anna is Anna. Additionally it can't be understated what a huge recruit Lulu was to the program. She is hands down on paper the most accomplished recruit Texas has ever had in the Joffe era and probably his whole coaching career. Had the highest ITF junior ranking (somewhere in top 15). She not only played in all four junior grand slams but also had wins at each of those tournaments. To put it into perspective, Bianca Turati had 0 wins at the grand slams as a junior player.
  22. Hook 'em! Roster is out and Lulu is not on it. But she is in the picture and signed up to play the ITF tournament in Fort Worth later this month. Labrana is also on the roster despite being honored at senior day last spring.
  23. Turati won the tournament in Austria 2021-2022 schedule is out! Judging by the fact that there's so many pro tournaments on the schedule in the fall, my guess is that Peyton and Lulu will come back for at least the fall semester and then determine after that whether or not to go pro
  24. Lulu fell a bit short today in the finals of the 25K in Spain. Lost to her former compatriot Masarova (former number 2 junior in the world). Here's Lulu's semifinal match against Lazaro (two time All American when she played in the NCAAs). Lulu beat her convincingly 2 and 2.
