  1. Oh my. My phone sure is dry now. No more aggies texting me how many SEC teams made this, how many SEC teams hosted that. How they shoot bubbles and have fancy yells for this and that. Poor aggy. Best team in school history. Most players drafted. Enjoy your stay in Omaha. We all know you made reservations. There will be some Texas teams there for you to watch. You just will not be able to do your SEC chant. (Even tough we all know if Florida sneaks in you will ride their coattails until the bitter end). What's the old addage- Those that can, do. Those that can't, chant SEC, SEC. About that SEC. Toughest conference my ass. Most overrated conference whose teams get ranked so high simply because they only play the other overrated teams in their overrated conference. 8 teams enter 1 team (maybe) leaves.
  2. Plan Worry About Yourself Whoever they get will be good enough. Not as worried as you are.
  3. Yep. Such a keen intellect.
  4. Scrape up the rally possum.
  5. It's big tio win the first one, but with pitching depth you always have a shot.
  6. Pitching depth always catches up with the lower seeds.
  7. They do. [Hidden Content]
  8. Nah, Banks is just channeling his inner Bryce Harper.
  9. This is about more than just Baylor and the terrible things that happened on Briles' watch. The NLI is a binding contract between a student-athlete and a NLI member institution. The contract is not between Art Briles or the athletics department and a student-athlete. The university is agreeing to provide financial aide for those student-athletes to attend their university (tuition, room, board). The football is secondary. 1. Baylor has no obligation to agree to any releases. At this point, they university has NOT admitted to, nor have they been punished for or accused of any INSTITUTIONAL impropriety. In their opinion, they have fired all persons that have been accused of any wrong doing. They have resolved the issue in their opinion. 2. To agree to release these student-athletes from their NLI would set an irreversible precedent not only for Baylor, but for all NLI member institutions. (It would also be an admittance of guilt on Baylor's part IMO.) 3. They have signed NLI's that have met all the legal requirements of a valid contract. Those are basically- a.) an offer b.) an acceptance of the offer c.) consideration was provided(tuition, etc..) d.) all parties had the capacity to enter into the contract e.) all parties entered into the contract without duress 3. Why has the NCAA remained silent on this issue? Something terrible obviously happened here. They could step in and rectify this situation in one fail swoop. Take the burden of releasing these players AWAY from Baylor. Do it for them. 4. Finally, fix the damn transfer rules. If a coach leaves, allow the players to leave too- WITHOUT punishment.
  10. Seems to be a blessing and a curse. UT gets coaches and draft picks paid.
  11. Is that the one where a team struggles to beat a team that gave up 24 runs to a high school team?
  12. Nah. Watched it in the 70's and thought it was a great story. I do not recall the part where Kunta Kinte murders his wife and her friend. Must have missed that night.
  13. So tell us again how many SEC teams made a regional. I love that story.
  14. Texas baseball recruit Kyle Muller named Gatorade national player of the year [Hidden Content] via @bevobeat
  15. Obviously. A raise plus better facilities. The only negative is you have to actually be good to make the NCAAs from the Big XII.
  16. Final LC. 4 DP. 0 LC wins series 2-1 and will advance to Round Rock.
  17. After 6 innings LC. 4 DP 0 DP with 1 hit.
  18. Agree or disagree, he was a man of conviction. He was the first athlete that I can recall watching on TV. He would fight on Saturdays on Wide World of Sports. Without Ali, there is no ESPN. He was an athlete and an entertainer. Maybe it was because of my age,maybe it was just ignorance on my part, but there was no "black" label on Ali. He was not the greatest "black" boxer, he was simply The Greatest. I loved to watch him, listen to him, see him interact with Cosell. Just the memory of him makes me smile. Rest in Peace.
  19. Creek wins 3-2 Game 3 today at 1:00 PM.
  20. Poor guy. Bubba and Shanna are good people. We enjoyed spending time with them on the Sun Devils.
  21. That's his 3rd school. Crazy.
  22. Long time Lady Ranger Head Coach Nadine Horne announced her retirement yesterday. She will be missed.
