    Or, hear me out on this, UCLA pitching was significantly better than UT pitching (and I actually spoke with a coach, this beating UT is bigger than UCLA is simply not true).  They have the chance to go to Omaha, they aren’t basking in their UT dominance, they can’t afford to. 

    im not saying they're  basking in beating texas. im talking about human nature of a team playing with house money after doing something unexpected. I feel we were a much better pitching team than ucla , we were a terrible situational pitching team. middle relief was a crapshoot most of the year. either way, the best team doesn't always win in a tournament setting and good on utsa to take advantage. no hate here just pissed off at the way it ended. 

  2. I know ppl and kids on the utsa squad and believe me , playing and beating a state of texas team in texas gets much more attn than ucla in California when you're playing with house money. example like texas goes up 6-1 and utsa fights its way back to win. now utsa goes down to ucla and gets retired 16 out of 17 to end game. its baseball but also human nature. fuck it all tho and im rooting for the birds anyway. my daughter graduated from there. Utsa vs murray for the trophy would be cool.

    This will be an unpopular post, but I'm all-in for UTSA.

    Birds Up bitches!

    My daughter graduated from there so this hits close to home. And yeah it sucked watching regional together. 

  4. Sour grapes and all but this is the customary team comes in with something to prove and puts it on us, then gets blasted in super without even scoring a run. Keep fighting guys 

  5. the second baseman ran into his foot. whoever thinks that the slide was dirty is crazy. the second baseman didn't have to dive in the baseline but he was competing. sometimes you pay for it when going all out.

  6. they're not broke , they just couldn't upgrade of course. ME is where their program is. a developmental program that has to take chances that they grab a winner and hope he doesn't leave. their athletic department is trash and doesn't even register in the history of ncaa sports. if it wasn't for the sec weirdly talking them up all the time they would be irrelevant like usual.

    That's the vast majority of schools.  Very, very few make it to the top, let alone in multiple sports.  Thing is, they don't see where they fall in the historical hierarchy of college athletics and think money will solve all their problems.  They want so deeply to be relevant they have no perspective.  They talk about Texas' arrogance, but look back over the years how they talk down to Tech and the other schools.  

    Then if/when they start to have some success, the school collectively freaks out and puts so much damn pressure on the teams that they invariably implode.  Rinse.  Wash.  Repeat.

    Exactly and said perfectly. I was reading a thread about their baseball program and all they were saying was this and that coach shouldn’t be coaching one of the premier baseball programs in the country and I damn near spit out my tea. They literally believe they are the premier program in the state because of their money and fanbase and of course facilities. God forbid you actually look at the history of the program and see that they are no different from other baseball programs in state with lil winning postseason history. Fucking weirdos can’t just say we had a great year last year and we need to build on it with reasonable expectations for their shitty program. Hell nah, they’re like we’re the best because we went to finals last year. Texas uses runner up trophies as paper weights.

    That is all very sound and logical, but the gators are the poster child of what have you done lately?  It is beyond question that we sucked in our first four SEC series to go  1-11.    It is also unquestioned that we won late season series against pig and the horns and the tide.  We won the series against FSU as well in non-conference play.

    So you could say that our sucky start should keep us out of a regional bid, because computer ratings and a .500 conference record. 

    But what if you had an undefeated team with three shutdown pitchers who were all injured in the same car accident, and were 0-14 their last games after?   Are we going to include them for an 0-2 BBQ bid because they had incredible potential at the start of the year?   I dunno man.   At some point, the body of work has to be tweaked by how good you are as you enter the tournament.

    How one does that fairly? I have no earthly idea.

    What if all 3 shutdown starters missed the season and the team went worse than Missouris season this year, they came back for the conference tournament and won it and got in as a 4 , then won it all. What a story that would be

    Moving the mound, moving the fences, moving the bases all seem like fixing a problem that doesn't exist. 

    I’d say let’s just have them play in yoga outfits and that’ll solve all the problems
