More WCWS wins than Cat in one fewer trip so far 

Has a title

Cat was NPOY 3x but TK has WCWS MOP

 

My argument for Cat used to be that TK's more wins are also a benefit of the offense that supports her....

But 0.00 ERA in the WCWS on the way to a title speaks for itself.

Hit the Posse for a burger:

Then back to the Littlefield Fountain for some pics.

She was very interested in how hard it is to get into UT on the drive home. She’ll always be a big fan, especially after this week.

That's some awesome memory-making. And gives your girl big motivation to work hard in school.

Yep very business like competitive team.   Makes them fun to watch compared to the rest of the prima donnas ruining the game currently.   College baseball isn't far from doing the same.   

 

Damn I'm getting old, if I'm becoming the grump that hates the theatrics

Reminds me of something I heard my 11 year older brother say more than once:  "I spent most of my life trying to please people who fked me over, now I piss people off on purpose."  The older I get, the better I understand that feeling.

Canady is this generation’s cat so far.  Cat would lose 1-0 or 2-1 with 12 Ks, and now the game is such that canady has lost 3-2 and similarly slightly higher scoring games because her offense isn’t up to the task against the best pitching they see when they get to the wcws. 

Opposing pitchers can be tricky to assess for one obvious reason: They don't face the same lineups. As phenomenally as TK pitched this week, how would Canady have fared against her own teammates instead of the firepower we threw out there? Would our lineup have hit TK better than Tech's did? Was Cat better than either of them? Such questions make for long and inconclusive historical debates, but in the end it doesn't matter. Just glad we came out on the happy end of this epic duel.

Way back in the thread I made a comment about Academy and a NIL deal.  I'm gonna pull that back and recommend a NIL from Pantene or Sauve.  That's a lot of hair!  They look great though.   Tonight, I'm gonna have to change our LED lighting on the haus.

I find myself enjoying Women’s sports more than Men’s anymore these days.   

This is the main reason I missed the LHN this past Spring season.  Baseball and/or Softball live damn near daily.  We were spoiled and didn’t know it.

i watched more games on my phone or old ass IPad more than I have fingers or toes to count.  Fng sucked - yes link to TV, yada yada, I’m old ain’t ain’t got no time for that!

I also listened to more Craig Way broadcasted games on ear buds this past season than the previous ten years combined!  He “paints” such a great audio picture, like you can see what he’s telling you.  Such a jewel at the mic, but I’d still like the option of seeing the game live.  We are also spoiled with Craig!

Does this help jumpstart the conversation on fast tracking renovations for the stadium?   

Considering how quickly season ticket stuff went out after we won, yes. CDC probably using that to take to donors to show the interest and ask for money

Just got a call from my dad. He is still pumped over the win. Keeps talking about TK and what a bad ass she is. I think he has a crush on Mia.

For the first time in his life he wants to donate to UT sports.

Knocking down that ridiculous Burger King crown from the exterior facade would go a long way.  And expanding the outfield bleachers.

Based solely on body language and facial expressions, in both team photos, Citlaly is halfway out the door 

I can’t fault her for that. She has been good to very good at times….unfortunately she has been dreadful at other times. TK is back, Salmon is presumably back and Wells is coming in. She should go somewhere and be there 1 or 1A

Andrew Haynes did the broadcasts for the women….he does it all by himself….and does a very good job….rather listen to our games with our announcers than the tv announcers.

Does Texas still get donations from McComb’s?  I know Red and his spouse have passed.

Reeled In by a Spoof, Chinese Daily Shrugs Off Its Capitol Error

By HENRY CHU
June 7, 2002 12 AM PT
TIMES STAFF WRITER

BEIJING — A gaffe by China’s usually staid state-run media has left a popular newspaper here with onion on its face.

Readers of the Beijing Evening News, one of the capital’s largest-circulation newspapers, learned this week that the U.S. Congress had threatened to move out of Washington unless a fancy new Capitol was built.

“Don’t get us wrong. We actually love the dilapidated [old] building,” House Speaker J. Dennis Hastert (R-Ill.) was quoted as saying. “But the cruel reality is, it’s no longer suitable for use by a world-class legislature. Its contours are ugly, there’s no room to maneuver, there aren’t enough bathrooms, and let’s not even talk about the parking.”

 If a new building wasn’t erected, the article said, lawmakers were prepared to pack up and move to Memphis, Tenn., or Charlotte, N.C.

The story seems newsworthy enough. Trouble is, it was lifted straight from the Onion, a satirical “news” publication based in New York that has caused countless American readers to double over with laughter at its weekly spoofs on current events.

Its story on the Capitol appeared in its May 29 edition, alongside such headlines as “Sexual Tension Between Arafat, Sharon Reaches Breaking Point” and “Man Blames Hangover on Everything But How Much He Drank.”

25 HRs in the big 10 is like 6 in the sec.  But good for them.  I've learned not count tech out in softball.  We scoffed at them last year.  

Good to know, must have SB stadiums like Arky baseball, huh?

I'm being facetious.  I just meant the competition is pretty bad.  Not great pitching, or softball in general, in the big 10.

Oregon and UCLA. That’s about it. Ohio state didn’t make it out of the regional

What level of program? Would Tech take her to backup Canady, since she’d be facing shitty Big 12 teams? I’m sure Kenny G would Be all over her
