    I forget that is part of NET.    Their losing sucktitude factors in because when they lose, they get blown out in conf play

    Texas winning margin in Big 12 games: 14.9 ppg (1 single digit win at Tech)
    Texas losing margin in Big 12 games: 7.8 ppg (2 of 6 losses by 4 or less) 

    OU winning margin in Big 12 games: 13.4 ppg (5 single digit wins)
    OU losing margin in Big 12 games: 17.6 ppg (all double digit losses)

    Yup, this is also why Texas should run the score up and especially against good teams. When Texas blew out Iowa State they went from #8 in NET to #6 in NET. 

    Which is a substantial jump this late in the season based on one game and the fact Texas was already ranked so high.

    Hey, did you guys hear that Pierce probably would have gone to Alabama if Texas hadn't hired him? Adds a little bit of interest to the matchup this weekend, dontcha think?

    I laughed but in all seriousness I think this is probably the last year we have Sean Allen on staff. 

    Rice probably should have hired him this last cycle. The job he's done with this pitching staff has been incredible but I think Pierce plays a big role in that too.

    Cobb has had the weirdest fucking tenure. Sunday starter as a freshman and seemingly jack shit since. I figured he’d get the opportunity to get the Tuesday spot. Still early but not looking likely. He seems perfect for Tuesday or middle reliever but…..

    ……yeah. Gordon had some command issues last night, but he looked fucking filthy when he was locating. His tweaked throwing motion allows his arm to whip around and get more spin on the ball. Cold night and first start so whatever but if he gets his control down, he’ll be a nasty Tuesday 4th starter. 
     

    Still wish we’d use Cobb in some capacity. Maybe the Cole Quintanilla route of mediocre starter but great for 2-6 outs late in the game 

    I think Gordon can throw with a good bit more velo too. There was a comment from Pierce last year where he talked about Gordon finding the zone and that they told him to dial it back some. 

    Once Gordon figures things out I think he's going to be really good. 

     

     

  4. They all 3 have their limitations but Askew and Cunningham can at least do some things. 

    Febres is in the game to stretch the court and he can't hit anything from 3. I get the idea because Texas needs anyone that can hit an open 3 but I think we've seen enough to know Febres isn't catching fire this year.

    Faltine likes to talk so it wouldn't surprise me if there was a lot of that going back and forth between him and the Corpus players. But I don't know anything beyond that reputation.

    Faltine definitely likes to chirp from what I've seen. I couldn't really see anything on the broadcast but the broadcaster made it sound like the Corpus players were ready to fight after the game. 

     

     

  6. Yeah, he's not Derka. I just read shadow operative and saw the response thinking it was a Derka like response. Only thing I feel bad about is mocking Derka because I like him as a poster and think he posts informative stuff in the basketball thread. 

    Regardless, back to baseball. 

    How is Texas going to use Duplantier this year? Midweek starter or out of the pen on the weekends? I guess it could be both like this last week.

    I fucking promise I don’t follow your Twitter. 

    So you just seek out my tweets without following me. That's serial killer behavior. 

    FYI nobody had RTed my tweet when you went off on this tangent. That means I'm so far in your head you went to my twitter account without following me, read my tweets, got upset, and came here to bitch. 

    That is truly sad.

    I'm glad I logged in. I've been entertained this morning. 

    All it took was a post saying Pierce would be at Alabama right now if Texas didn't hire him. 

    To get this upset over something is amusing to me. All he has to do is either A) Put me on ignore or B) don't follow my twitter. Apparently, he's not capable of either of those things.

    I saw it discussed in another thread that they're the same person. Or at least somebody thought it was Derka's other handle. 

    It has to be him with a reaction like this. If it isn't Derka this is a very odd reaction. 

     

     

     

    It isn't. I just saw shadow operative and an outburst so figured it had to be Derka lol. 

    I'm still confused why he's so mad though.

    Wait, the two shadow operatives aren't Derka? 

    I thought it was well known here that it was Derka's other sock. I'm entertained either way.  

    I don't think so but could be wrong. I just saw an outburst so figured it had to be Derka. 

    I actually like Derka and think he's a good poster. I don't know who this guy is other than somebody that's very upset this morning.

    texasstrong, the guy that got his Twitter suspended, has zero idea who he’s replying to, needs to stick to women’s hoops. 

    It's early. I didn't recognize it was the other shadow operative. 

    Still, I have no clue why you are so upset over this.

    Imagine tweeting, then posting, about a job hired almost 6 years ago.

    Stick to women’s hoops, fool. 

    This getting you so upset is cracking me up but it's totally Derka. 

    Sometimes I'm actually sad for you the way you have these mental breakdowns.

    No, that is not why this series is interesting, you fool. Go post your own Twitter bullshit that has been suspended, fucking idiot. 

    Imagine being this upset over a post like that.
