  1. Yeah when we’re playing shitty, I don’t really post on these threads cause it’s just annoying. Now, let’s sweep these fucks tomorrow then destroy aggy on Tuesday.

    Yeah. Pierce has done an incredible job to get this team to where it's at. Having said that, I think our ceiling is lower than the ceiling for last year's team's ceiling. We have significantly less talent than last year, where we were talented but under performing to start the year.

    This years pitching blows last years out of the water. Nolan and Shugart were solid I guess but I feel a lot more comfortable with our pitching this year. Yeah we don’t have Kody this year, but this time last year Kody wasn’t, well, the T-1000 at the plate yet. Hibbeler has been turning it on his last 15 or whatever ab’s, Todd has been solid all year, same with Deadpool. We need Zubia to turn it on and Ellis to get out of this weird little slump he’s in. Take 2 of 3 from the cockroaches this weekend and we’re in good shape to win the conference for the 2nd straight year and host another regional.

    It will be very interesting to see how the pitching staff is handled starting tonight. We have 4 games this weekend and then turn around and play 2 midweek games next week before LSU. Then we have 4 at Stanford the weekend after that. It's going to be a grind. 

     

    Wonder if we roll out Ridgeway against UTSA and just see what happens

    Cold and wet tonight in Houston.

    I am guessing the game is in doubt at this point.

    50% this afternoon and 60% tonight.

    Temp in the mid 40's.

     

    Yeah looking at the radar it seems like we may be fucked

  5. Thank Christ Reynolds finally went back to switch hitting. His freshman year he seemed to have more power and just a generally better left handed hitter. I was pissed when they said he’s going righty exclusively. 

    Austin Todd seems like he’s going to have a breakout year. Duke Ellis may go all Payton lite in regards to getting on base. Fucking scooters. Hamilton-Ellis-Todd would’ve been deadly at the top of the lineup. Oh well. Reagan has shown some flashes this weekend. I love Kennedy’s approach at the plate. Great swing and you can tell he’s insanely confident at the plate. 

     

    Elder showed flashes and all last year but holy fuck. Really wasn’t expecting him to look like Chance Ruffin on Friday. God damn what a performance. 

    Yeah, McCann has had a good weekend but he’s just the ultimate slap hitter. Get D.J. behind the plate, Bertelson at first and keep Zubia at dh. Really wish we could get Fields some more ab’s but the whole crowded outfield thing. 

    Gonna be a fun season, Pierce has all sorts of talent. Can’t wait to watch what he’s got planned

    Yes, we play Texas Tech here in Austin this year in what promises to be the marquee Big XII series of the season.

    FWIW---Purdue gametimes announced so you can at least make your opening weekend plans:

    FRI-6:30p

    SAT(DH)-1:00p & 4:30p (I'm guessing game two starts closer to 4:00p)

    SUN-12:30p 

    And the vaunted LSU series, pretty close to the usual itinerary:

    FRI-6:30p, SAT-2:30p, SUN-1:00p.  I've gotta think 1 or more of those games gets picked up by FOX and/or ESPN family of networks.  

    Really cannot wait.  We're gonna be a bit raw to start out the year while we figure out some new guys.  

     

    IIRC, wasn’t last years LSU series on something weird like ESPN+ where we had to stream it? I’m sure it’ll be something like espn Friday and Saturday then LHN Sunday or something. I plan on being at all 3 of those so like it matters for me 

  7. Didn’t he participate in a practice or 2 or some shit for us? I remember something weird like that but that whole 2010-2016 period is just one long nightmare so my memory may be a little fuzzy. Booze and drugs have nothing to do with that, for the record.

    Read through a few threads, the general thought seems to be:

    1. "Herman and Texas should be investigated for tampering"

    2. "Who cares, we recruited 5* WRs too"

    3. "USC is a dumpster fire and we should be able to cherry pick from California, particularly Mater Dei, and maybe we can flip Bryce Young"

    4. "No way Bru should be allowed to play next year"

     

    On #4, wasn’t Lampkin allowed to play immediately even though he was enrolled at Texas but practicing at OU or something like that? Or did he redshirt for the transfer sit out thing? Can’t remember. Whatever, doesn’t really matter
