  1. When I say this, I'm not talking about OG Covid. Or unvaccinated, elderly or obese people with asthma, etc. I'm talking about you average healthy individual under 60. People say it sucks, but colds and the flu have always "sucked" (you don't feel like yourself for a few days) but we never stressed out about avoiding those. For a number of people I know, getting it was the best thing that ever happened to them. It got them out of this stressful shell they'd been living in. You realize you're going to be just fine.
  2. Those of you still hiding from it, just go ahead and get it (unless you are high risk). Sure, getting sick sucks (and it doesn't even suck for everyone), but it's better than months and months of stress over avoiding it. And if you have kids, summer is the best time to have you world turned upside down for a week or two.
  3. Given as little as he pitched this year, it wasn't a surprise to anyone who followed. That said, he entered the portal and committed within about an hour. Arkansas' team ERA was 16th in the country and the bullpen was the strength of the team. For whatever reason, he just wasn't used or trusted this season. Still a good add with nothing but upside.
  4. Kid showed lots of potential in 2021 and was expected to be a major part of the pen this year at Arkansas. Not sure what happened.
  5. You may realize this, but the photo you quoted is not from yesterday's game. Yesterday's was much less egregious. Still the right call by the book, but when the runners lane doesn't take you straight to the base, its worth looking into remedies going forward.
  6. Again, the days of the week changed, but not the days rest. In years past, teams either had one or two days off before the championship series began (depending on whether you lost a game or were unblemished). Same as this year. Yeah. Its happened many times (having to throw a guy on 3 days rest in the final game of the season). Had Texas beat MSU a second time last year, Stevens would've absolutely pitched again in the championship series had it gone 3 games.
  7. Yeah, they shortened bracket really only hurt the teams in bracket 2. Bracket 1 had basically the same schedule as always. In bracket 2, Arkansas & Auburn did not get a day of rest after losing and winning on Monday, whereas TAM and ND had day of rest after winning and losing on Sunday. All four then played on Tuesday, rather than separate days. Arkansas ended up playing four days in a row Mon-Thurs (not the cause of losing on Thursday as pitching was great). But, at this point, it's no different than years past. For example, Texas won on Friday last year and forced MSU to play on Saturday, and the championship series began on Monday. MSU had to use Will Bednar to beat Texas that Saturday, then he wasn't able to pitch again until Wednesday on 3 days rest.
  8. Probably more to it but think they dropped it due to Title IX. Chose soccer over baseball, I believe. If DBU can be good, SMU could’ve been good.
  9. Good plan. Hotels much easier to get when two teams left. That said, the one difference from the past is I believe this year the championship series is Sat-Sun-Mon instead of Mon-Tues-Wed. I would expect that to make the championship series much more attractive to anyone interested in attending.
  10. Again, I’m planning to go to all four games so I have nothing to lose by buying tickets now if a certain team doesn’t win. But I jumped on tickets for the 6:00 Sunday (Sec 104 for $50) and Monday (Sec 110 for $125) games when I saw attractive prices. I plan on waiting on the losers 1:00 games. I expect those to decrease.
  11. I'm going to the Sunday-Monday games. Planning to go to all 4 games. Playing the CWS ticket game is always interesting. Will they go up or go down? The Sunday/Monday tickets are lower than Friday/Saturday. Probably a combination between it not being the weekend plus the matchups unknown. Considering that UT is a favorite to win game 1, I'm thinking about pulling the trigger on the Sunday night 6:00pm game now. Given the opponent will be either TAM or OU, it would be a hot ticket.

  13. Was there. It was actually Matchbox 20 opening for DMB opening for Pumpkins opening for Stones. IMO, Pumpkins were ridiculously bad and I love them. Can listen here https://archive.org/details/tsp1997-11-01.flac16/tsp1997-11-01t01.flac As I remember Dave saying, "we're all just breakfast for Stones tonight." As far as 9 song DMB setlists go, it was a solid one. Two Step, Tripping Billies, #41, All along the Watchtower, Crash into Me, So Much to Say, Anyone See the Bridge, Too Much, Ants Marching.
