  1. Context huh? Being in the Big 12 the last handful of years meant maybe 1 top 8 seed from the conference per year. Theres no benefit of the doubt to the conference. Plus we schedule too difficult in the non-conference. I looked the other day at our first 17 non-conference games. We played 7 games against tourney teams. The Aggies played 1 - us. When we played them we had Tech the next weekend. They had Tx Southern-Rhode Island. The SEC and to a lesser extent have a purposeful schedule. They’ve been working it 20 years. Starting next year we get the benefit of the doubt too. And oddly enough, they just flashed the graphic saying the #1 seed last won in 1999. Guess there’s been lots of overachievers. Not sure many of those beat the powerful Evansville in the super and their finals opponent lost one of their best hitters and best pitchers in the super.
  2. What led to this being the case anyway? One would think there shouldn’t be much anywhere at the collegiate level.
  3. What was the basis for the fight? I guess Hurley got the last laugh in that ULaLa game. Ouch.
  4. It’s about time you realized this. Welcome to the club.
  5. Ideally it would be mid game during a coach’s interview.
  6. Well what about one Troy Tulowitzki?
  7. Or maybe a distracted Tennessee. CDC needs to have a teams call with them and tell them it’s not Tony V.
  8. Per his bio, that’s J Stewart’s cousin too.
  9. Can’t be true. We are a traditional power.
  10. Well except for that choice to use a frosh that has pitched less 10 innings all season with a 2 plus WHIP and now above 9 ERA.
  11. That it is.
  12. Aggies kinda missing their injured pitcher.
  13. Has there been a single reference to this Stewart fella and how Pierce screwed that up? Looking like the missing piece. One of ‘em anyway.
  14. Dude, they let Mitchell Daly hit .300.
  15. SEC ain’t all it’s cracked up to be?
  16. Why is UTenn playing a dude that hits in the .220s?
  17. The point was that the Vitello comp was too tall.
  18. It may be win or lose. I mean who leaves on the brink of a title? Then do they pull a Stoops and go with the pitching coach Lincoln Riley.
  19. He probably was driving Tvondre around and left him to take blame.
  20. Get a grip huh? I’m pretty relaxed about it. CDC is pretty good at what he does. I trust him to make a well reasoned choice. Previous head coaching experience is not a must have for me. It’s fine that others feel differently.
  21. I’m not skeert of a bold move. Was Vitello a head guy before Tennessee? How many head guys have multiple titles? How many have single titles then not so much? Theres risk. If the top two guys are off the board, then what?
  22. Yes he would and should. But are you ok if only get his Wiener?
  23. Just think of the joy in this scenario when we win it all next year.
  24. Situational pitching will always be important. I haven’t looked specifically but would guess that all national champions won playoff games that were low scoring. Team ERAs can be misleading but come this time of year I do check out teams pitching distribution. I’ve touted Tennessee and A&M as having better depth than everyone else because they have multiple guys with good chunks of innings and lowish ERAs. And within that you often have 1 guy that looks to be true #1 that can lock you down, like Prager has done twice this post season. It also is a reason A&M was a poor matchup for us. You compare them to ArKsnsas. They won lots of games, but they seemed to have fewer options beyond Smith. And Smith tailed off a bit at the end too. They had less hitting. And boom early elimination. The playoff format is important in playing into pitching staffs and depth. We could be very competitive in a best 2 of 3 scenario but a loser bracket regional was a terrible spot. It changes the dynamic of who we are at our best. UF offensively is a bit like Arkansas pitching. Jac = Hagen. Then you have other capable guys, but they aren’t consistent. They hit tons of homers but outside of Jac they do nothing well offensively. Put them in a bigger park in Omaha and you negate some of that power.
  25. Take away Jac and they bat about .254 on the season.
