If we can't get 4 innings out of Lucas we aren't going to win many games. Let's see if we can back door this thing.

2023 Official Astros World Champs Offseason Thread
UTexasFight replied to tx 3 putt's topic in Baseball
I’m sorry to do this, but I need some surly therapist help after triggering/opening up this old wound that took many years to recover from. I still really thought we were going to win that game after Spiers led off the 9th with a double off Hoffman. hate that it took another 19 years, but thank god for 2017. -
2023 College Baseball Showdown Weekend Thread
perfectchaos007 replied to Horny Bull's topic in Baseball
Are we ever going to win a game at Globe Life Field? -
Looking over schedules, Kansas seems to have the easiest remaining. I think if we are going to win the reg season conference title we will have to beat them at the end of the season. I don’t know that they lose more than once until then.

sorry, but this is gonna be long (title of my sex tape).- i really suffered through the shaka years. it was seriously upsetting to watch the program that i love so much being run by such an inept, unqualified, buffoonish snake oil salesman. we recruited better than all but a handful of programs, and yet the product on the court was unwatchable, and the results at the end of the year were just a gut punch. here's how bad things got for me towards the end of shaka's reign of terror: from an older post of mine, re: Texas losing to ACU: the end of gbat game was a super surreal experience for me. the entire night vs ACU was just a miserable experience. it was so fucking frustrating to watch Shaka Smart's opus, the absolute zenith of his ass-backwards, incomprehensibly brain dead style of coaching. it was slamming your dick in the door for two hours. but then, with time running out, my favorite player of the Shaka Smart era, Andrew Jones, hit a clutch three to give Texas the lead...and my heart sank into the pit of my stomach. wtf?!? how in the fuck did we get to a point to where my favorite player hitting a go-ahead three with time running out to give Texas the lead in an NCAA tournament game MAKES ME ILL. it's not like it was a conscious decision- that three went in and my heart sank before the ball even hit the ground. that is how bad things were under Shaka. we were going to win the game, and i was devastated by that fact. i felt like a battered spouse who couldn't escape their abuser. it was absolutely fucking surreal, and not in any kind of positive way. i was crestfallen; disconsolate; inconsolable. i was having my heart ripped out because the team that i love so much and have loved for so long was about to win an NCAA tournament game. but then ACU got the ball, they got into the lane, they got fouled, and now they've got two shots at the line to beat my beloved Texas Longhorns, and here i am, sitting in my living room, praying to god that this kid from Abilene Christian sinks both FTs and beats the team that i love so much. and he did. and here we are, about to open the very next season in the top 5 of the polls, and Shaka is 1,000 miles away. just totally, completely surreal. Things were so hopelessly terrible under shaka that my inner most being, the core of who i am, wanted Texas to lose and to fail, no matter what it took, just to get rid of the cancer we had at head coach. as someone whose literal first memories are of loving Texas Basketball, that's a pain i don't wish on any sports fan, save sooners and aggies. to make it worse, my dream hire, chris beard, gad been given an extension at TTU only a year prior, meaning he was not a serious candidate to replace shaka. and then a miracle happened. from another recent post of mine: chris beard got to Texas, immediately signed the top transfer class, won the program's first tourney game in 8 years, got all eligible players from said transfer class to return, signed two 5 stars, and by week three of his second season had Texas in the top 5 and receiving first place votes. he did all of that in the 18 months immediately following shaka's loss to ACU. you wanna talk about surreal? to go from absolute anguish over the state of my oldest and first love, to then suddenly overnight seeing the program at the doorstep of being a top 5 national program year in and year out- it was like i had been brought back from the dead and was suddenly surrounded by victoria's secret angels whose only job was to give me sponge baths and feed me chicken wings. ab. so. lute. ly. surreal. from hell to heaven, in the blink of an eye. at least that's how it was up until two weeks ago. now it's as if i'm just waking up from a coma, and the entire chris beard era was nothing but a drug induced wet dream. now i'm waking up to find a fat, sweaty orderly telling me that all of my organs are failing and that unless i get a miracle transplant i'm going to die. the never ending future of limitless possibilities and chicken wing sponge baths was all just a dream, and now reality has smacked me awake and i'm right back where i was when Andrew Jones hit that three pointer: crestfallen; disconsolate; inconsolable. i am right there with slx and pancho in terms of what this program means to me, but unlike most here i could not give a shit less about UT football compared to Texas Hoops. Texas Basketball is my lifelong no.1 love, from as far back as i can remember, and nothing else really comes close for me. i grew up at practices, in the locker rooms, at all of the games. travis mays was the first person who i considered to be "my best friend", back when i was just four years old. fast forward a decade, and it's rick barnes's first practice at Texas, and i'm off to the side playing 1 on 1 with his son, Nick. my entire childhood was shaped by Texas Basketball, my first love, and that love has never waned- it's only caused me to feel great pain during our hard times, and unbridled joy during the good times. and to this day i still have countless relationships with people from the UT Basketball family, from the 80's all the way up to today. Texas Basketball has always been my life. i still can't believe this is happening. i took nearly a week off from posting when the news hit, because i was already grieving, and in no mood to be talking about basketball with anyone. now i'm back, and i'm just waiting for the final, official word that my dream, a dream that i actually got to live, is being crushed. without going into it too far, i'll just say that my mental health issues have led to some serious physical health issues for me, and things were not looking good for for a while there. i had to have some tough conversations with my loved ones about how much time i might have left. then suddenly we had a breakthrough, and i've been experiencing an unexpected good turn with my physical health, which happened to coincide with our fantastic start to the season.everything was coming up derka. and then the news hit. my mom came over that evening and i said to her, "this was the best thing i had going for me; this was keeping me alive." to which she solemnly replied, "i know." why am i writing all of this? perhaps it's an attempt at finding some catharsis? i don't even know. and that's really it- i can't even wrap my head and my emotions around this enough to find myself on stable footing in terms of how i feel or where i stand. i'm still in a daze from finding out that my waking fantasy had only been a dream. the thrilling present and the amazing, unlimited future have just been snatched from beneath me, and now i'm just dead inside all over again. i watched that k state game and felt absolutely nothing. my needle didn't move one iota. and that's because my heart is dead, and the only AED's that exist (donovan, wright, calipari) ain't showing up any time soon. to wrap this up, please allow me quote the late, great augie garrido: "you may have a lot in your life; i don't." i used to have a life, a career, and (somewhat) healthy mind and body. but with all of my health problems and my loss of employment years ago, now i have my mom, my failing health, and my sports teams. and all of those teams combined mean less to me than this UT Basketball program. this one really is an all-time hurter to the heart for me. i honestly may never feel the same way about UT Hoops ever again. this one may just too big of a blow for me to ever fully recover. this one really hurts.

Quinn "La Joya" Ewers - The Man The Myth The Mullet
crash_davis replied to Coach pop a bitch's topic in Football
Quinn played well enough for us to win. Wash's O clicked in the 2nd half. Our D couldn't stop them. Their receivers made catches, our didn't. I saw good things from Quinn. He was stepping into this throws, making quick decisions and was mostly on target. We didn't have a running game to take pressure off Quinn and he still did well. We weren't going to win this game. As someone said, they owned both lines of scrimmage. We were in this game because of Quinn. -

We aren’t going to “win” every negotiation with hostile foreign nations. Sometimes we will have to bite the bullet like today. Obviously I was speaking in platitudes not laying out foreign policy positions or strategy. The overall point is the same though, we should try to get every American home and sometimes that means we “lose” the trade.
-
Sure. But my guess is if we are going to win it will be on PK. Maybe 1-1. I don't see us beating them on run of play over 90 minutes.
-
At this point I’m not sure why we even play a striker since we do nothing to provide service to them. Play Reyna up top and let him and CP just interplay off each other, bring AARon on for the first guy that gets tired. We weren’t going to win in the air against Wales, and it won’t be any better against England. Might as well try to cut them up with speed.

Fuck all you gloomers, we are going to win! 🤘

We are going to win this shit. Come on bats. Wake up

Playing 7 or 8 against 9 offensively the whole playoffs. Our pitching staff deserves better. We are going to win this fucker in spite of it.

stfu we are going to win

I participated in the Halloween potluck. Otherwise, I've been staring at my phone and doing the easiest "work" I can think of, like mindless compliance modules. We are going to win.

Last year. At some point in the next 100 years we are going to win another road game and then we will move onto some other stat to cling onto that involves past games that current players haven’t even been involved in.

I think we are going to win some games that we have no business winning and then lay an egg or two....

Game Thread Texas vs oklahoma state - 2:30pm on ABC
burntorangebongos replied to Pancho's topic in Football
2 Possession game still. But fucking need to stop them here. We have to score a TD or we aren't going to win. We have to find a way for one more TD. -
Y'all need to chill. We are going to win.

For all the talk about ISU's defense, they've given up 55 points in three Big 12 games. We've given up 57 in the same span. Two scrubs and a dog shit Iowa offense will make anybody's defensive stats look good. In short summary: We are going to win.
-
That’s a pretty long winded way to say “we are going to win”
-
Not going to say that this play was when I knew we were going to win, but it showed that it wasn't going to be the same old Texas-OU. Showed that our big guys were ready to fight. I was reading a book about the 1991 UDub football team earlier this summer and this little passage about the Cal game stood out to me: This is a big part of why the Huskies were so good that year and this reminded me of Kelvin Banks. Lincoln Kennedy got most of the attention on that team, but Malamala was the dude on the O-line who didn't take shit from anyone and set the attitude. And he went on to play 10 years in the NFL.

This basically happens every single year after we lose a game. It's really pretty silly. We used to get HAMMERED by OU under Mack and then come back and win out or almost win out....when it looked like we weren't going to win any more games. I learned then that one game is a pretty piss poor predictor of future performance.
