9 days until the opener, but nobody really gives a shit anymore.  Thanks Ange! 

Oh and the exhibition on Friday against UTSA

All of us here give a shit, of course, but we just know where this is headed. 

I’ve pondered a scenario where a capital envelope for NIL and other program needs is offered as a commitment for when a new coach is hired. I don’t think it would take a ton and could largely be crowdfunded. Probably just fantasy though.

Ange’s best result in her 12 years at Texas is the sweet 16. Contrast that with the beach volleyball team who made the elite 8 in the program’s first year of eligibility 

I think her best result was winning the SEC tournament last fall, but that’s me being subjective. I enjoyed that shot being fired across the bough right out of the gate.

The SEC preseason poll last year came out right around mid-August (August 13) so we should be coming up on that pretty soon

The United Soccer preseason rankings has Texas 19th.  Based on where other SEC schools are ranked, they predict a top 3 finish for us, but 2-3-4-5 are pretty bunched together.  Arkansas looks like the class of the conference 

Arkansas is 6th, Vanderbilt is 17th, MSST is 20th, South Carolina is 21st and Georgia/Auburn/Kentucky are all receiving votes

Texas finished 3rd last year, behind MSST (undefeated in conf play) and Arkansas (1 loss, 1 tie)

At the exhibition game against UTSA.  My daughter played soccer with two of the freshmen playing for the roadrunners.

Wearing burnt orange, but hoping the former teammates pay well.

Are college games moving to three 30 minute periods this season? Sounds like this exhibition was a 3 period game, but I don't know if that format will be what's used in the regular season. 

I don’t think so. Was probably just exhibition specific

Yeah, I didn't particularly like the three period system.  Fine for an exhibition with tons of rotation and obviated the need for water breaks which would have been a must with 45 halves.

USTA played pretty well in a 2-0 loss.  One goal came from a penalty in the box.  Neither goal was scored when our family friends were on the pitch and they both played at least 50% of the game.

I'm sure the heavy rotation affected Texas' play, but they did not seem altogether cohesive.  Looking forward to a great season!
