  1. The downgrade people aren't talking about enough is going from Max Weiner to Jason Kelly as pitching coach. So many guys took steps forward for them last year on the mound. It will be interesting to see how many regress.
  2. I would bet there are season ticket holders who haven't been to a game in years. It's funny they list the first Tuesday game of the year against Houston as a sellout and my guess is come first pitch, the stadium will maybe be 60-70% full pending weather.
  3. I was just listening to Schloss' interview yesterday on the LHN app, and he basically said they wouldn't be playing in this tournament if it wasn't already on the schedule when he arrived. Said he prefers to open the season at home. Also said he inherited a 2026 series at U of San Diego (return trip from when they came here last year) and the tournament at Minute Maid the third weekend of the season.
  4. A couple of 9.95ers have said Sean Miller indicated he would accept the job and was ready to make the jump. Then we kicked the crap out of his Xavier team in the Sweet 16 and the writing was on the wall.
  5. Even if, for some reason, we were open to this idea, why would he and his legal team desire to come back to work for the same people who fired him 2 years ago? Sark's past never included handcuffs, orange jumpsuits and police.
  6. Are we SEC ready? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Will_Wade (I did just see his show cause runs through June of this year, which is not great)
  7. There are certain circumstances where promoting an assistant could make some sense. Maybe it is a hot shot young guy who is destined for bigger things if you don’t retain him (Marcus Freeman in football) or someone who has been on staff for a lengthy period of time and has been groomed as an obvious replacement for a coach getting older and close to retirement (UNC and Duke in basketball). Terry didn’t fit either of those descriptions and actually had a mediocre track record as a head coach, which makes it even worse because there is nothing to dream on.
  8. Nope. Been a fan of him for a while.
  9. Not a concern at all. So did Beard and McCasland until they got to big boy programs and adapted.
  10. It all runs together at this point. Ben McCollum will pull us out of this rut.
  11. One of Barnes last teams went 11-22
  12. Kaluma out for the rest of the game. Knee.
  13. My prediction for Friday: 1B Schuessler 3B Rodriguez SS Flores RF Belyeu CF Gasparino LF Winfield C Galvan DH Chamberlain (Borba if facing a LHP) 2B Mendoza SP Spencer That has us alternating right-left all the way through the order, which I think Schloss would like. Rodriguez batted second in the Alumni game so I'll assume they are comfortable with him up there in the order.
  14. Orphey was Jeff Choate's DB coach at Montana State, which is a connection I found interesting outside of him being a Houston area guy.
  15. That is one of the biggest collapses I’ve ever seen. LSU is so damn bad.
  16. OU is going to come open too. Miami, Indiana, FSU, Texas and OU with more to come. Will be an interesting carousel.
  17. Is Indiana a better job than Texas in this current landscape? No idea what their NIL situation is but I’m assuming it’s pretty good because it’s Indiana, but they also haven’t been consistently good in a long, long time.
  18. The 8th best team in the SEC could still be a top 15-20 team nationally this year. This conference is loaded. Everyone outside of Missouri has a the talent to compete and potentially do damage in a regional.
  19. Definitely a hot take. Turner scored double figures once in his last 10 games at Texas and Rick Barnes didn’t even want to play him by the end of the season. Johnson’s legacy will be much better than that.
  20. We’ll see. Our NET and Q1 wins will compare well with the teams we will likely be competing against.
  21. The bubble is looking extremely weak (seems to always be the case since they expanded the field to 68). My guess is 7-11 gets us a trip to Dayton.
  22. Beyond moronic to play Kent and Onyema together. Sparked this mini-run.
  23. Shedrick has played so much harder and tougher the last 2-3 weeks. Been a welcome sight.
  24. Good adjustment on Carey the last 7-8 minutes after he was Dennis Rodman the first 12 minutes.
  25. Nic Codie shouldn’t be having to play in these type of games
