    Was just trying to knock Porter down as far as possible until he figures it out. I’d like to see Pierce give Casey a full game either Saturday or Sunday. If Porter figures it out at the plate again I’d slot him at 5 regardless of matchup but right now we are getting the guy TCU was comfortable letting transfer.

     

    Porter Brown was a riddle for the Frogs as well.  Story was that he was a Premed major and studied his ass off while classes were in session, to the detriment of his onfield performance.  Once the semester was over and he could focus on baseball, he was an allstar.  Tale of two Players for sure.  I think I saw that he has changed majors now...

    ECU-UNC in a split series, UCLA @ TCU, and Indiana @ Baylor this weekend look interesting.  Arkansas vs Oregon St in Arlington tonight should be good

    TCU swept the series against UCLA, including run ruling them in the final game.  Went on to beat Washington State in 12 innings, then came back the next day to beat Arizona.  TCU pitchers struck out 19.  Good start for the year.

    You may not have noticed <cough, cough> but banging that strong conference gong gets SEC SEC SEC underserved rankings and respect.  Which translates to better bowls and playoff and seeding rankings.   Not Fair?   Bwahaha.  I care why?  You are about to reap the benefit of that as well - now that the Big-12 Big Boys joined the aforesaid overrated conference.  (granted, our overall conference baseball strength is likely the best conference no matter the ESPN blowjobs.  You joining is chef’s kiss awesome to anyone who likes baseball) 

    Underserved, or undeserved?

    West Virginia baseball pitcher Ben Hampton has transferred to Big 12 foe TCU.

    Hampton was a key part in guiding the Mountaineers to a program record tying 40 wins this year. Hampton was 5-3 with a 4.45 ERA this season. In his career he was 17-11 with 203 strikeouts and a career ERA of 4.62. This past season, West Virginia was 11-5 in games Hampton started.

    Aggy with the hotel luggage cart HR celebration just seems to fit. 

    I heard the Walmart greeter wouldn't let them take one of the grocery carts, so they stole the luggage cart from the Days Inn.

    Indiana St gets to host a Super now.  Too bad TCU is going to steamroll them.

    Good start for the Hoosiers.

    Looks like TCU will be doing the hosting of the Super.  Special Olympics has Terre Haut all booked up next weekend.

    Wow:  "The loss extended Michigan's woes in the postseason. The Wolverines have now lost six straight bowl games."

    Michigan stung by second straight letdown in CFP semifinals           (Chris Low ESPN) 

     

    That post season record is terrible for Harbaugh -- Michigan fans just devastated.

    And Harbaugh is now 0-3 against TCU.

    Isn't this considered high standards at LSU? Throw in some rice and hot sauce and you got quality family time in Louisiana.

    I will admit, the resident cockroaches' yearning for our approval is kinda cute.

    An 8-4 Longhorn squad vs a Conference Champion TCU team basically neck and neck in tv ratings is supposed to be some kind of Frog flex?

    aight...

    Nah, not looking for approval, just addressing some misconceptions.  Lots on here say that smaller schools can't compete, don't belong, yada yada.  All we needed was a chance, and this seems to show that we can win, and people watch.  With TV revenue and bowl game financial benefits, all I am saying is that TCU pulls its weight in the Big 12.

    Now, a question which I would really like answered, because I don't know the answer or the rationale.  What does UT (and OU) expect out of moving to the SEC?  If you look at the fortunes of Mizzou, Arkansas, and A&M, are they better off now?  Is it all about money?  The Big 12's new TV contract would make it seem like the schools will be well compensated, and if you look at travel costs for all sports, the destinations in the SEC are going to take more dollars to get there and back.  Right now, you have the status of a big fish in a smaller pond, is that worse than being an average sized fish in a bigger pond?  I also think about the average fan being able to follow the team.  It is certainly easier for fans to travel to Waco, Fort Worth, and even Lubbock than to Florida, Alabama, and Georgia.  Seriously, I want to know if you guys (and Nicole) think this is really a good decision?
