Tomball will be tough. AS good as BH is, I see Cleburne and Calallen in the Finals.

Final Dulles.  7 DP.      4 Dulles advances and will play Cy Ranch.

Top 6th Dulles leads 4-3

Dulles leads 3-2 in the 4th.

In football? Now if this was a One Act Play thread.........

I'm pretty sure Coach Denny knows what he's doing with his pitching staff.

With the Horns loss to TCU tonight and Texas Tech's win,  Texas will finish last in the Big XII and miss the conference tournament.

Honey Badger don't care.

[quote name="hitman009" post="1405186" timestamp="1368726687"] Did any of ya'll watch the video??  He is smoking weed throughout the whole video.  Why is that not being mentioned?? The crazy part is he has not been arrested for position of a illegal substance... the proof is in the video.. That’s ok though... like his rap... he can serve my hamburgers with no pickles "for life", "for life", "for life"..... What an idiot!!!! [/quote] The problem is that you can not "prove" it was weed. I'm just glad the young man is not wasting some schools scholarship money for a semester.

[quote name="joebob" post="1405144" timestamp="1368720911"] Bernard Mulvaney Jr is the new Athletic Director. Seems like from reading his bio this is his first AD job. Seems like there should have been better options but hopefully the new blood will help kick start something. [/quote] A good Athletic Director does not need to have been a good coach. Al Richard was a heck of an AD at GCCISD. He had NO coaching experience (which most coaches did not like). It's about managing a department, people and a budget. So, I would not judge the new AD entirely on his coaching record.

Teach young players a "drop" ball. Same action as a curve ball, but not as much stress on the arm.

[Hidden Content] [b]Texas recruiting coordinator Tommy Harmon couldn't sleep the night of Aug. 15. Just minutes before the midnight ET signing deadline, Harmon found out that the crown jewel of his sterling recruiting class—slugging outfielder Josh Bell—had signed for $5 million. The general sentiment in the industry was that Bell had been darn near unsignable. But he couldn't walk away from $5 million, and Texas found itself having to make due with the nation's premier group of incoming pitchers, but no marquee bat. "My dad always told me, 'Don't think about what could have been,' " Harmon said a month and a half later. "All of a sudden I find out about eight minutes until midnight that Bell's going to sign. I didn't think he was going to sign. My wife saw me up late and said, 'What's wrong with you? I've never seen you act like this before.' That was the weirdest day ever."[/b]

IMO cost is not a factor unless you compare Private to Public universities ( [Hidden Content] ). It does not cost that much more to play at Sam Houston than it does to play at say Texas A & M. Based on the site I linked, it is cheaper at A & M. I think a lot of players are opting for the JUCO route because it gives them more options down the road as it relates to transferring or being drafted. The NCAA has addressed their transfer rules and changes will take place next year. (Student-athletes with a GPA of 3.0 or higher will be allowed to transfer without losing eligibility.) The draft, more than anyting, has killed schools like UT. Last year alone I believe they lost at least 4 BIG TIME recruits to the draft. Those are spots they had filled until the end of the MLB signing period. By then, most top recuits have signed with other schools. It's hard to compare a 60 to 70 % scholarship to a possible million dollar signing bonus. We all know who wins that battle.

Grimes is the OC not the AD.

For some reason teams in Texas can't hit a lick. Offensive numbers are way down. Why? Who knows. Like most things in athletics, it's cyclical. For now, it's just not happening.

May 13th NCAA Team ERA Leaders Rank      Team                  ERA 1          Arkansas              1.87 2          Oregon St.            2.12 3          LSU                      2.38 4          Louisville              2.40 5          North Carolina    2.44 6          Texas                  2.46 7          Indiana                2.52 Guess which team could miss their conference tournament?

From what I understood, the gala would not stop. It would be run by the Astros organization and not a non-profit organization led by the players wives. [b]In January, Astros owner Jim Crane told the event’s organizer that the Astros would be taking over the gala. “Judy as discussed our foundation will handle the event this year,” Crane told Judy Nichols, who organized the event, in a Jan.25 email. “We will not need your services moving forward. We appreciate what you have done in the past. Meg Valliancourt (sic) is our new executive director of the Astros In Action Foundation and you can hand this off to her. Thanks Jim Crane.”[/b][Hidden Content] Either way, it's a PR mess.

[Hidden Content] Wow! Not one Regional in Texas. Sad state of affairs.

You will have to provide me with your definition of "athlete".
