  1. Because he’s doing such great things with a team that was picked to win the league. Beating this Texas team is the highlight of their season so far.
  2. Outside of Grubbs and Whitehead, is there one arm on this staff we would be happy to see return next year with the new coach? Boehm will get drafted. I guess maybe Tumis and Hamilton but there are probably 100 guys just like them in the portal every year.
  3. Porter Brown fooled us all last year
  4. Number of earned runs we’ve scored off Friday night guys this year 0 1 0 11 3 1 3 4 1 0
  5. We are allowed to win Friday games. It’s in the rulebook I swear.
  6. You’d think after the first 60 times this season we got burned with our second baseman alignment we would shade him over a tad. But nope.
  7. They would move tomorrow's game up before wanting to do a doubleheader. A doubleheader is always a last resort in conference play. With the game being a national ESPN broadcast instead of the usual LHN, there are probably a few more hoops to jump through if they want to move it.
  8. His regression is almost as perplexing as LBJ's. His batting average against has jumped almost 100 points this year.
  9. That tweet is meant to be sarcasm for the stupid extension they gave Jimbo
  10. I didn't even realize he ended up at Southern Illinois last season. Wasn't there speculation that he was going into the agency world when he left Texas or something of that sort? It always felt a little fishy, especially when he left right around when the findings from the NCAA infractions case against Kansas were set to be released.
  11. He turned down USC because that job isn't what it once was, and they are stuck in the Stone Age in several areas, including facilities. Tulo has told people he wants to be a college head coach. Based on my understanding, even in the "year off" he took last year, he was still around the program and coming up to the Disch to help out. I'm sure part of the thinking for re-joining the staff this year was to make sure he stayed involved and around the game in an official capacity as he looked for his next opportunity.
  12. Tulo's name would certainly hold a lot of weight on the recruiting trail and in the portal. And flipping this roster is going to be important. Pretty much every player and recruit who has interacted with him at Texas has great things to say. His assistant hires would obviously be huge as someone who hasn't been a head coach. Still, I think it says something that he wants to be a head coach and continues to be around the silly game of college baseball after making almost $100 million playing the game professionally. Most guys aren't wired that way. Just my .02.
  13. Steve Sarkisian? And yes, obviously he was not the lone person driving the bus on that hire. Putting aside the nonsense about hiring a HS coach.....Odds are he will make a great hire, but it is a different battlefield when hiring for a Big 3 sport than hiring for Swimming and Diving or Track and Field or Tennis. The fact we care about those type of non-revenue sports at the level we do puts us at an advantage over 90% of schools. I do agree that having a real AD should make the search a lot smoother this go-around.
  14. Just a tad different college baseball landscape in 1968 vs 2024.
  15. For the cherry on top, Craig Way just said on the radio his truck was broken into yesterday while at the radio station and they stole all of his audio equipment.
  16. An O’Dowd grand slam would cap this night off perfectly
  17. TCU is pretty bad and I saw an interview with their coach last week and he looked like he hated his life
  18. TCU lost to Abilene Christian tonight so we can officially call this weekend the ‘who wants their season to end the fastest’ series
  19. 2 combined runs against A&M Corpus Christi and UTRGV
  20. Pull Ty Harrington from the booth for the last 17 games so that way you don’t have to worry about handing things off to an assistant or whatever. Only half joking.
  21. Have not had a ERA over 4.50 since Augie’s second season (1998)
  22. About halfway through the 2016 Kansas football game I turned to the buddy I was watching with and said “maybe it’s not the worst thing in the world if we lose this game”. Starting to feel that way again tonight.
