  1. We swept them pretty laughably, in Lubbock, in 2024. By 10, 23 and 10 2023, Scott doubled to walk them off in game 1 (3-2) and Atwood in a 2-run HR in the 6th to give Texas a 4-3 lead (and win) in game 2. We won game 3, 8-3
  2. They are the only job open, so it's not like they are competing against teams for any of the available candidates. Might as well call and see if anyone is willing
  3. 2.5 seasons to add in Sulu, McCoy and Rand so that it ends as a logical next step to The Cage / TOS season 1
  4. Our last loss to Texas Tech before game 2 of the finals in 2025 was Mike's first year (2019), when Tech was ranked #15. We lost 2-3 in Lubbock, sandwiched between 2-0 wins on Friday and Sunday
  5. UNC coming to Austin Dec 4 for the ACC/SEC challenge
  6. Seriously. Those Olympic volleyball men would kick his ass without breaking a sweat. Even geriatric Matt Anderson
  7. No concern. She loves Mike White and Texas. She will be headed into her last year of ball when Canady leaves Tech. Hopefully with a third championship appearance or 2nd title.
  8. I agree. People be mad about it, but the show runners and writers room have so much warning to close it out Season 3 hasn't even aired yet, Season 4 should start production soon. Season 5 likely won't air until 2027 and 6 episodes can run from 50 min to 75 min in this day and age
  9. What a snowflake https://awfulannouncing.com/espn/pat-mcafee-independent-college-gameday.html Pat McAfee reportedly floated idea of launching independent version of ‘College GameDay’ It lines up with how image-conscious McAfee is. When GameDay aired a clip last fall of him whiffing against an Oklahoma softball pitcher, he reportedly wasn’t thrilled. Per Marchand, McAfee asked to know who approved the footage. He didn’t get a name, but it showed how much he’s aware of how he’s portrayed.
  10. I even saw some OU fans on Reddit/UCS say that Mike did it "the right way" and didn't buy a title He recruited, he developed, he filled some holes in a few positions, took the team to the title game last year and then returned them to the title game this year with all the experience and development and reached the top
  11. India gonna India
  12. I've been using it consistently for 2.5 years now and I love it. I have a good routine of leg day -> stretch session, so I have like zero soreness the next day or two. Especially if you get or find a flexologist who you vibe with and see consistently. They all seem to be former personal trainers or physical therapists. It's like $189 (in Denver) for four 25-min stretches, but you can do them as two 50-min stretches or roll them over. I think it was $149 or $159 when I was in Houston. I had to cancel my membership and then start it over here.
  13. And NOW Tennessee Taylor Pannell is in the portal Rumor is she already signed a deal with the Matador Club while in OKC (with a clause that the deal is void if she doesn't go to Tech). Shady
  14. One key difference in softball is some of those kids may have been committed since they were juniors. Not as many flips as football or basketball or even baseball. He may have been "stuck" with some or all of them, and not willing to cut them loose so they couldn't find a scholarship elsewhere after he was hired and after everyone else's classes had signed. I have not done the research to see how many of those 7 freshmen were committed to the previous coach or got out of their NLI with Louisiana and followed him. I doubt he promised them anything but a chance, but a first year coach coming in and turning over the roster is not uncommon. Gasso is different. Gasso recruits them herself and then recruits over them via the portal. Glasco hasn't had the chance yet to recruit over his own recruits, assuming most of those 6 freshmen were committed to Snider.
  15. Welcome to the mega conferences - 16 for SEC, 18 for ACC, so 2 have to sit out
  16. Confirmed today that SNW will get 5 seasons. Season 5 will be 6 episodes Aligns with a 5 year mission with a little time jump/jumps
  17. We do a lot of that in my sessions except groin. Lot of hamstrings, lower back, hip flexors, adductors/abductors, piraformis
  18. ESPN just wants to gargle Canady’s balls for another 4.5 months Kavan might be the only active pitcher who is undefeated H2H with Canady in multiple starts and Texas has been responsible for 5 of her career 17 career losses
  19. Ok flat earther
  20. Love foam rollers. Live and die by my dude at Stretch Lab who works my hips once a week (phrasing). That place has increased my flexibility and mobility tenfold
  21. Money talks Wealth whispers Money + Ketamine screams like a toddler and rips your face off
  22. Also Tech is rebuilding their roster around Canady to make a second title run in Canady's last year of college ball, which means new faces, new roles, etc. That doesn't always equal a title (see: Texas Volleyball 2024) if things don't go exactly the way you want them to. Mike can counsel Glasco on what happens when team chemistry blows up in your face. OU returns a massive chunk of its semifinals team + picked up their new rent-an-ace, as does Texas. Pickens isn't leaving Tennessee and they have a top 5 class coming in. Arkansas is also active in the portal. Not to mention Florida, Florida State, Ole Miss, Oregon. UCLA is gutted, so they likely won't be a huge factor in 2026. Going ahead and crowning Tech as 2026 champions in June of 2025 is pretty dumb, literally anything could happen to them. Canady could blow out her hamstring in March, team chemistry from all the transfers could implode on Glasco, Jazzy Burns could explode Canady's face trying to throw down to 2nd (is 6 years too soon for that?), etc.
  23. The real people with money don't throw public tantrums and display their Ketamine use for the world to see The real money is doing exactly what you said - calling up a rep/Senator and threatening to bankroll a primary challenger or withhold 2026 donations if they don't vote a certain way. Elon thinks the court of Xitter opinion is enough, but it's not. It's not like anyone in DC cares what the rank and file voters actually think. Plus it's all bots. Ted Cruz doesn't care what DonkeyFarts69420 posts on Xitter about him or his voting record. He does care when Tim Dunn calls him up and tells him to vote for/against XYZ or the donation is going to be withheld. And Tim Dunn isn't going on Xitter to call Ted names and threaten him.
  24. I don't think softball has enough juice for an entire offseason thread. And I don't like to start the 2026 season thread until we get the schedule and/or the SEC preseason projections are published. We are talking about Tech because Tech is the most active right now in the portal and we just played them for the title. We are still 4 days from the portal closing, so I think keeping it here is fine. Just waiting to see who we get and if anyone leaves. A certain someone appears to be loafing her way to the portal, just like she did to first base so many times.
