  1. Mac really stepped up. With the exception of that one batter she kept the ball low, hit her spots, and really fell into a good rhythm. I wish they hadn't squandered so much offensively in the later innings. Mia not lifting the bat off her shoulders and Reese yukking it up between pitches was not the best look.
  2. is your spoilered text supposed to be an explanation for what happened in the game? Because if so you are way, way off.
  3. he came in at 250. He was small next to Alfred Collins.
  4. Oregon had very make-able putts the win the match the last two holes.
  5. I'd be extremely surprised if Marion turned out to be a successful head coach. Time will tell.
  6. getting squeezed pretty good by this umpire.
  7. could be an eventful off-season.
  8. let's see how she does at Syracuse. Time will tell.
  9. Between this article and the ESPN.com article it seems pretty clear that Slavin sucks at his job.
  10. The whole angle of how much Arkansas hates Texas and Texas just isn't ready for the hate is incredibly overrated. There might be memories of a rivalry for the old timers, but it simply isn't a major factor across the board. I was at the football game and it was a flat crowd - there was no juice at all. I didn't see so much as a horns down gesture the entire game. TCU the season before was a much, much more hostile crowd. This baseball team has been due for a bit of a course correction for a while. It was fun beating Aggy by one run three times, but those games could have gone either way. Texas pitches well in their home park. The injuries have piled up and the team isn't particularly deep and has been overachieving all year long. Getting swept on the road to a top 10 team sucks, but we don't have to invent reasons like Texas/Schloss just weren't ready for the intensity of the rivalry. Better to hit this stretch now than in a regional. Fight through it, refocus and win the damn conference.
  11. And Boston ruthlessly hunted him on defense, leading to an uncompetitive series. The best teams will always be able to exploit him on defense. Luka will never be the centerpiece of a championship team. Nico wasn't wrong about that, his abject idiocy was not extracting maximum value from a premium asset.
  12. that was AWESOME!!! So clutch for the 4's AND 2's.
  13. Will Randle's nomination into the Max Merril Society is under strong consideration.
  14. He has upper management written all over him. It is a sign of program health to have perfectly serviceable guys need to transfer out in order to receive playing time. It is a good sign to have guys leave and still land at P4 schools instead of the Sam Houston State's of the world. Texas is no longer locked into bad evals, or developmental gambles that yielded guys who are just good, decent, players. Texas is quickly becoming a place where if you can rise to the level of starter, you will likely get drafted. If you aren't that kind of player, you probably will need to move on and enjoy your years as a college player elsewhere. All of those guys had different obstacles/left for different reasons. But the bottom line is that they simply were not good enough. I was initially worried that Sark was too nice of a guy, but he has managed to build a culture where the guys like each other and there is camaraderie, accountability, and competitiveness - but there is also the knowledge and understanding that change is constant (unless you are Max Merril.) The money helps, to be sure, but they've been smart with it so that it is a tool rather than an obstacle.
  15. kudos for diving in all the way - I had limits on how far I was willing to go digging through bylaws.
  16. Bobby said in the first line of his post that no new entrants - graduate or otherwise - can enter the portal. This comports with what is on the NCAA website: "Moving forward, student-athletes are expected to enter the Transfer Portal within their sport's notification-of-transfer windows, which Division I members emphasized are important for providing transparency to student-athletes and coaches for recruitment opportunities, roster management and financial aid planning. There will continue to be exceptions to the legislated transfer windows, including for the departure of a head coach or a discontinued sport. Student-athletes who plan to enroll as graduate students at their next school can enter the portal at any time during the academic year but must enter the portal prior to the conclusion of their respective sports' final transfer windows." https://www.ncaa.org/news/2024/4/17/media-center-division-i-council-approves-changes-to-transfer-rules.aspx Unless Bobby is wrong and what I excerpted above is incorrect, it looks like there will be no new additions.
  17. you'd think at some point professional pride would kick in, but nope. Then the Lakers can't even foul at the end of the game.
  18. this is legitimately funny now. Refs desperate for this series to continue.
  19. LeBron was really going the extra mile for his Oscar, going totally limp and motionless like he was knocked out. The average guy just pretends to writhe around, but that is why LeBron is a legend.
  20. it is nothing but foul baiting back and forth, over and over. Terrible basketball all around.
