  1. No what ends up happening in these arguments is you take a hall of fame coaches entire career and body of work and put it up against someone’s story who is still being written. Pierce’s time may come to an end at the end of this season, not up to me. For one David Pierce isn’t Augie that shouldn’t even have to be stated. Comparing to Gus is an excercise in futility partially because it was a totally different era and partly because if we hired our next head coach from South San Antonio High School in 2024 this board would lose their collective minds. Augie’s track record from Cal State Fullerton carried him through the beginning of his tenure at Texas. His first 5 years amounted to 1 CWS appearance, 2 losing seasons, and not one regional host. That is hardly having the program ready to rake for awhile. Now the next 4 years they went on a run that is going to be hard to rival by any college baseball program with how much more competitive the sport is getting year after year. To make a long story short, Augie’s first 5 years didn’t really inspire much of anything and then it happened, baseball can be fickle like that. Reality is Texas has the #3 class in 2024 and #2 class in 2025 (subject to change because of the draft). That’s with the last 4 years resulting in CWS (Big 12 title), CWS, SR (Big 12 title), season not over. If you are going to blow that up, you better be damn sure you have the next Augie Garrido on line 1, not fucking Erik Bakich and Tom Walter.
  2. No it’s because according to yours and others “standards” Augie had 5 good years out of 20 at Texas
  3. The Twitter account that puts those together is called fridaystarters
  4. Louisiana when they have 7,000 fans in maroon cheering them on like the home team in the night cap
  5. Was hoping Schloss would be dumb and give us the early game but no dice
  6. Off topic but it is really hard not to call them Lafayette anymore
  7. The over dramatic hyperbole about this team being a disgrace to Texas baseball is tiresome.
  8. We went 0-2 in a regional that was won by 4 seeded VCU and hosted by Dallas Baptist
  9. It exists because we have seen it this year. It’s just the flip side has been total meltdowns which is why his numbers are awful. Hell you can even get creative and throw Lebarron one time throw the order, try and get 3/4 innings out of him then bullpen the rest of the game. I would go with Max game 2 if we could but I don’t think you can, nor do I believe Pierce will go anyone other than Max game 1. In the event he would go someone else game 1 I think he would go Ace. Ace has also not been nearly as effective since they have gone away from his changeup and I’m not quite sure for the reasoning behind that.
  10. You aren’t burning bullpen arms if you turn the ball over to Hurley and you can’t save Max for game 2. As much as I like Ace, throwing an 85 mph fastball at that A&M lineup is suicide Will be an interesting decision and I think the only wrong decision would be throwing Ace against A&M
  11. Ryan Prager will be who we would see in game 2 if we beat Louisiana. Had we gotten a softer regional I would have probably gone Max, Ace, Lebarron. I think I’m leaning Max, Lebarron, Ace and just hoping Lebarron is on that night. If he isn’t, quick leash to Hurley
  12. The Big 12 is the 3rd best conference in college baseball and got 6 teams in the field. I dont think anybody but you understands the point you were trying to make
  13. Well if you only consider there to be 3 power conferences then I guess you would be correct
  14. Having to “leave the room” is such a laughable justification.
  15. Holy shit, didn’t even notice TCU got left out, honestly assumed they were in. Wow
  16. That we have the most NCAA tournament appearances all time and if we showed our team being excited to make the tournament you would probably have people on this board picking that apart too
  17. Back to back against Louisiana?? Barf
  18. That is awful for Oklahoma State to give them Florida. Committee absolutely coddled Oregon State
  19. Man that Florida State regional is brutal
  20. Yeah regardless the committees need to go. Every year it seems like somebody questionable gets a regional over somebody else because their AD was on the selection committee. This year it was ECU https://d1baseball.com/stories/2024-d1baseball-field-of-64-projections/
  21. The committee really should send 2 of Vanderbilt, Florida (assuming they make it which I'm beginning to think they will), and Mississippi State out to Corvallis and Tuscon to make them earn those regionals.
  22. To cross over into another sport, the BCS was without a doubt the best ranking system I've seen in my personal opinion, the issue was always not having a playoff. Something similar should definitely be used in all sports in my opinion. A ranking system that takes the average of several ranking systems in order to try and eliminate outliers. The committee shit needs to go in all sports especially because there is absolutely no transparency. They always send up someone to speak on ESPN that stutters and makes a farce of the process and sticks to talking points, and even then they almost always end up contradicting themselves.
  23. Biggest flaw with the RPI is how it weights road games to protect the northern teams that spend their first month of the season on the road. That being said there is hardly a college baseball environment daunting enough for a team to have to be in the top 25 for it to be a Q1 home win while only needing to be in the top 60 for it to be a Q1 road win. We were also an anomaly, you hardly see any teams with 12 Q1 wins and 8 Q4 losses. Relative to where we are currently in the RPI, if we played Tennessee on the road and won, we would gain about half as many points as we would lose to a Q4 team at home. If you took even just 3 of our Q4 losses off our resume we would be anywhere between 25-30 in the RPI.
  24. Dallas Baptist had more Q1 wins this year (9) than Oregon State and Arizona combined (7)
