the chicks in our UT sports get this. Why don’t the dudes?  Cuz clearly our gals have no problems winning MNCs

Huh?

Granted I mostly follow the Volleyball and Softball teams but both of those teams have shittons of problems winning NCs (nothing mythical about them). It was never easy.

The softball team finally won one after how many trips to the Regionals? How many years of heartbreak and frustration?

I think it was a function of our pitching staff not being able to get it done. This whole it was hitting or psychology stuff doesn't hold water to me. The position players did enough to win that regional. The pitching just wasn't there.

Bruins win and retire 16 of the last 17.  

What's up with the blue they're wearing?  It looks about 3 shades too dark.

Yep.

meep-meeps "just happy to be there" and "mission accomplished taking out TEXAS!" -- I wouldn't be surprised if they folded like a cheap suit and mailed-in Game 2.

FUCK them!

Yeah…no.  There was very little from UTSA during the week about Texas.  They have bigger fish to fry, mainly, getting their administration to provide them facilities.  I saw three interviews from Coach Hallmark this week and that was the focus, not UT.  They don’t think that way.

The first two innings of the game last night they were incredibly aggressive and punched UCLA in the face, not what a team happy to be there would have done.  UCLA’s pitching was better, which isn’t surprising because that is one of UTSA’s weaker areas as they lost their best pitcher last year to Texas.

Just because they lost or lose, doesn’t mean they were going through the motions and happy to be there.  The more you know Coach Hallmark, the more you will see that was not part of it.

Game 3 tomorrow.

The ad wizards at espn have scheduled the other two game 3s tomorrow for the same time.

Honestly- you hate that because you care about the sport. 
for attracting casual viewers?  Not a bad choice. With 3 games going on at once- all win or die- if one of the games sucks it allows you to bounce to another one, and if they are all compelling you can whip around. Be interesting to see how they handle that window. It’s what makes the hoops tournament great.
