2025 NCAA Baseball Tournament
Posted this in another thread, but for the purposes of obstruction, a defender is allowed to be in the base path if he’s in the act of fielding, not just if he has possession. The catcher was fine. https://unitedumpires.org/pdf/Feb2018-Interpretation.pdf

2025 SEC Baseball Thread
Some are saying the Ags had nothing left to play for after losing to Mizzou, but that win yesterday was pretty important. It probably keeps them above .500 for the season. They were in danger of a 27-27 finish if they'd been swept by UGA then lost their first game in Hoover.

Texas @ OU Series Thread
I agree with your takes on Riojas. Yesterday seemed like a fundamentals day. Throw strikes and let your defense support you (except it didn’t). I’m not a baseball expert or anything but it seemed like one of the things that really helped Roger extend past one time through the order and be a quality starter (and something he has over Grubbs for those wanting to have that discussion) was all the funky stuff like dropping his arm slot and the eephus pitch. I don’t remember seeing much of that yesterday but I would imagine he brings it back in the postseason

Texas 2021 Recruiting Class Review: The Penthouse, the Outhouse & the Big House
I think I remember them rolling out 230lb Jett Bush at edge in a desperate attempt to find someone that would play within their assignment. Luckily we made up for the issues at edge with some athletic linebackers in Demarvion Overshown and Luke Brockermeyer /s

Texas 2021 Recruiting Class Review: The Penthouse, the Outhouse & the Big House
Nice write up. A 30% draft rate is pretty great for a transition class and would traditionally be good for any class, though that may not be the case in the NIL era. Now that we can look back at the program’s ascension (‘21 -> ‘23) with the full benefit of hindsight, the transition class was a pretty key part of the roster building success in that period alongside development of the inherited RB and defensive depth chart, the 2022 OL haul (kudos and thanks to those involved), and a really high hit rate on 5 stars (Sanders, Campbell, Banks, Manning, Hill, Baxter being the 5 stars in the 21-23 classes). Compare those elements to others that were either overrated or just bad. The portal only gave us 3-5 meaningful contributors those years depending on how you want to define that (Keilan Robinson, Watts, Ewers, Sanborn, AD Mitchell). The non-OL in the ‘22 class mostly busted. And the offensive roster that Sark inherited only produced a couple non-OL that were any good for us: Whittington, Majors, and Christian Jones. This thing could have very easily never gotten off the ground if it weren’t for the transition class, the ‘22 OLs, Bijan and Roschon, and the DTs. That also speaks to how good all the non-roster parts of the program were under Sark (culture, continuity, scheme, etc.) Small thing about Jamier Johnson - he apparently left the Indiana program this offseason. There’s no info about him being in the portal or joining another team. Just a news article that he left and now he isn’t listed on the roster

2025 SEC Baseball Thread
Etheridge didn’t say this in the blurb, but if we finished 19-11, I could understand that a 3-9 post-Spencer record would hold more weight for seeding than it does in the standings. Also I want to self-correct a post I made a couple weeks ago that Farmer was batting .300 in conference play. I misread the stat. I think the correct number was .255 then and the current number is .240. That was part of the discussion about whether Jonah would stay in the lineup when Belyeu returns. I’ve changed my mind on that - I think he does stay now. The part of that discussion that has (unfortunately) gotten more interesting is whether it’s strictly Farmer that would be replaced or if there are other guys like Borba that find themselves in that conversation.

Texas Offseason 2025 - Archmania Is Upon Us
If we’re going to be literal, high school and NFL don’t matter. At those levels, they’re all boys amongst boys and men amongst men. That said, idgaf about the definition. The term is supposed to be a fun way to talk about physically advanced/dominant players. You don’t have to come legislate that away with an arbitrary definition. I don’t have a great Texas nomination that hasn’t already been mentioned (maybe Sweat is an honorable mention?), but a definite non-UT guy is Calvin Johnson.

Tell Me About Texas a&m
I saw that shirt at one of the baseball games I wonder if they carry the analogy to one of the men selling out Jesus for silver and the other eleven denying knowing him

2025 OL Nick Brooks
Affidavit says 2:11. Bunch of bars one block up close 11 minutes before that. It’s a Saturday night. The hell is the problem? Man, I feel like I’m not surly enough for surly anymore

2025 OL Nick Brooks
Hard disagree. The cop is there to protect pedestrians on a busy street at peak hours, not a football player that decided to get mega blazed driving between strip clubs

Texas Recruiting Notes 2026: Boulevard of Broken Bagmen
They were referring to the Fasusi/Rogers/Haywood triumvirate (and apparently there was a guy named Dramodd Odoms that was a 5* OT and signed with SMU), but it’s always an interesting choice when the services chastise a staff with Sark/Flood’s history for their evaluations

Texas Baseball 2025 - Your SEC regular season champions!!
Could Burns get in the mix for the last starting spot? He started all six appearances at ASU last year before his injury. He threw as many as 118 pitches and 7.0 innings. Genuine question as I don’t have the baseball knowledge to say it’s a good idea lol

NIL Recruiting News Megathread
My understanding of the reasoning for the return of bags is that they would avoid the new independent clearing house and fair market value requirements. The settlement basically sets up two pathways for payments to players: revenue sharing and NIL (which can come from the school or third parties). Revenue sharing is capped (~$20M) and can be doled out as a school sees fit. NIL is not capped, but all deals worth more than $600 dollars will have to go through an independent clearing house where they will be reviewed to ensure that they are fair market value for a valid business purpose. The clearing house will have the power to reject a deal that is pay-for-play. So, if Starting DT X’s NIL has a fair market value of $Y, then bags theoretically offer a competitive advantage if they are going to be greater than $Y because theoretically the only other option would be to add more and more NIL obligations for Starting DT X, and he only has so many hours he can spend signing autographs and copy/pasting tweets. Personally, I think it’s too early to know how the settlement will impact things. The clearing house thing seems like it will either work very well or terribly - probably terribly. Texas should be well-equipped to navigate the new landscape, whatever it may be.
