  1. Always one of the more interesting offseason articles. Bill Connelly's SP+ returning production percentages (long article): TLDR: Texas returns a good amount on defense but loses a ton on offense. Ohio State, Texas, Miami, Oregon, Ole Miss and Georgia all rank outside the top 100 in returning production.
  2. We will spend the next week talking about Jerry Gray and Duane Akina before Sarkisian finalizes the hire of Alcorn State's DB coach out of nowhere.
  3. One thing we can't really account for is Nansen's input and impact on the backend. Gerry always talks about how the open practices for the media he attended, it was Nansen who was doing a lot of coaching and aligning of the secondary.
  4. I think this will be the easiest departure to replace this offseason. Joseph was okay, but I think there were a lot of other factors that helped turn around the pass defense. I always heard he wasn't anything special as a recruiter. I think his Louisiana ties got overblown a lot.
  5. OU is in Lunardi’s field right now at 4-10 in conference play and #51 in NET. The bubble sucks more than usual (but yes, let’s expand the field!). 7-11 will probably get Texas in assuming our NET stays around 40 (currently #38). Yay.
  6. They have some interesting arms but can’t hit worth a lick. Also have to remember their Friday starter left the game pointing to his elbow. I don’t see how they finish in the top half of any conference and they will likely have a RPI in the 200’s. Dropping one this weekend would have really hurt.
  7. We definitely lead the country in 0-2 counts
  8. They made a lot of tweaks with his swing. Which is interesting when you consider the success he had last year. Maybe they thought some of what he did wouldn’t translate.
  9. Volantis is a weekend guy next year once he adds 10 pounds and a few ticks on the fastball. Schloss has compared him to Prager a few times.
  10. He may have been battling a minor injury at some point but he’s available. No idea where he is in the pecking order.
  11. 3-1 pitch to Gasparino wasn’t close to the zone
  12. We have not seen the fastball well all series. Just a ton of weak swings and indecision.
  13. Texas is such an afterthought in the college basketball landscape right now that there is not a single person with an ounce of credibility who will defend him when he is let go. Half of them will be caught up investigating if Randi Trew is house shopping in Bloomington.
  14. I get there isn’t a super obvious candidate outside of several of the pipe dreams people will try to will into existence, but man it I would have some questions about how serious we are about this thing if we fire Rodney Terry to hire someone like Brad Brownell.
  15. Aggie squeaked by Cal Poly 4-3. Had 6 hits.
  16. Maybe Duplantier is our best option to close games for the time being? He throws strikes and it’s such a different look for batters after seeing Riojas or Burns or any of our starters really. You probably don’t want to trot Duplantier out there for 9 outs against a SEC team but he can be effective in short stints.
  17. Not sure why they had that quick of a hook with Dre
  18. These slap hitting righties against Mercer make me nervous
  19. This strike zone is atrocious
  20. Rodriguez double, Gasparino single
  21. Needed the reverse jinx
  22. Lots of feast or famine seems to be the theme every year Tulo has been the hitting coach. Spurts of brilliance followed by not being able to hit anything.
  23. Not today. Yesterday Flores and someone else had well hit balls that died in the wind.
  24. I don’t think Dartmouth has hit a ball in play this weekend that went more than 200 feet in the air.
