Stros with a 7-3 win over the Yanks to even series 1-1.
Watched it at a Mexico resort. Nice way to take in a Stros win over the evil empire!

Ranking somwhere between 250 and 300 in lists of US cities by population, Beaumont is not a small town. In several states it would rank in the top 5. In Louisiana it would rank 6th.

I’m sure he is just going to teach like he did before coming back last year
Thought that may be a possibility as well. Thank you.

Anyone know where Pavliska went? I don't think he is old enough to retire, but not sure.

University systems, at least in the state if Texas, normally have minimal impact at most on an specific universities athletic programs. Likely as a fan, student, or alumni if there is anything related to athletics it would be so minimal you would not know of it.

Not giving up the Rice Bowl for that one. Besides, HF stadium is only a 35 minute drive from the beach. Newton would be an hour and 50 minute drive.
Short drive for you, but do you expect much of a game?

Agreed….I’ve never boasted that it would.
If you want to discourage people from voting for Trump you make the argument he lost the popular vote by millions and the electoral vote by 14….
What you wouldn’t bring up is 53,000 votes out of those millions was all he needed…..
I stated this many times on here many months ago. However, Card and others that won't look at this find other things to show opposition to simple math. Now. CARD, I've opened the door again. Question my character or knowledge..it's all you have. Call names and act just like the man you despise.

It’s like this… you can look at impeachments and say “witch hunt!” You can look at 1/6 and say “but BLM riots!” You can look at rape charges and say “but Hunter Biden!” You can look at unemployment and a devastated stock market and say “but COVID!” You can look at the nonstop string of insults and say “but he’s sticking up for us!” You can look at his ignorance of the bureaucratic process and say “but he’s an outsider!” You can look at his corruption and say “so what? He donated his salary!” You can look at the fact that he lost both houses in 18 and then the presidency in 20 and yell “I bet they cheated!”
Or you can face facts and realize that your idol is actually a piece of crap.
I will leave you to your beliefs, but when you call a Democrat, and dare i say one that wont acknowledge his own grandchild, more Christian you won your argument with yourself and the others that vote with the demonic party.
My idol is the Holy Trinity.
Good day.

No, but a vote for trump after all he’s done shows a complete lack of character on the voter’s part.
But I’m sure there’s been a deficit your whole life.
I do my best to read this stuff and not respond in the political forum, but you've pulled me in. If it's Trump vs Biden, are you saying that Trump is a worse person?

He's right about getting some of the local under-recruited kids on campus (and hopefully out of the portal). There's a lot of talent in Southeast Texas that would make a world of difference. What systems will they go with on offense and defense?
If a kid is "under-recruited" in this area there is likely a good reason or more. Our area is monitored and recruited extremely hard. Schools from the Big Sky have even "poached" this area on occasion. I do like your thoughts on the portal for young men that go to large programs and see limited playing time. That should be and likely is a focus of the staff.

Anticlimactic tonight and last night, but still this has to be one of the best CWS of all-time. So many close games. It was quite enjoyable to watch them all.

Just some useless talk here. With our discussion of the SEC dominance, they along with the ACC, BIG 12, and PAC 12 have a weather advantage over the BIG 10. Not completely eliminating, but having the BIG 10 disadvantaged doesn't hurt. The other big conferences just haven't performed nor apparently placed the emphasis the SEC has. Yes, there have been good teams and several champions from those conferences, but top to bottom they don't compare to the SEC.
Side note....From a Southeastern US perspective the Sunbelt has, at least in my eyes, started to surpass or at least caught the Big West in quality programs as well.

No argument here about SEC baseball being the gold standard and I would agree with you (at least I think you would agree) that the SEC has been more dominant in baseball than football. Just stating when you add arguably the bluest blood in the country in baseball, the rich get even richer.
Yep, more dominant in baseball than football. Almost laughable. It's as though SEC baseball says we kick butt even better than you kick butt.

So 15 of the last 16 seasons an SEC school has played for the Natty and 4 of those times both schools were SEC. Like I stated, it's already a common occurrence without tu.
But the additions will enhance it.
Technicality, it is 14 out of 15 as there was no CWS in 2020.
-
If I just read things correctly, the SEC has had a team in the CWS final every year but 1 since 2008 and 4 times the finalist were both SEC schools. I knew the conference was dominant, but that's just ridiculous.

But to give the Cardinal their due, they are the only school in the country that consistently has a better overall athletics department than Texas. So there is that. (Although recently Texas has gotten the best of them.
When you have men's volleyball and field water polo teams you have an advantage before you even start competing for top overall program. Stanford has around 10 programs more than Texas. The fact Texas has won the Directors Cup is impressive.

But it’s like adding Kentucky to the ACC or Big 12 in basketball or Ohio St to the SEC in football. No matter how good the league is, those additions significantly move the needle. Except in basketball, you have Kentucky, Kansas, UNC and Duke and then everyone else. In baseball, USC obviously have the most titles but in the last 30-40 years, it’s Texas and LSU and then everyone else (in terms of nosebleed blue bloods).
Just for the sake of a fun discussion. SEC baseball very well may be the most dominant conference of all NCAA D-1 sports. Texas has a resume that is one of the tops in all of college baseball, but to claim its them and LSU everyone else is a stretch.
Not an SEC school, but Stanford could argue they have had a better past 3 to 4 decades than Texas. 2 titles and 3 runner up finishes.
Miami has 4 titles and 2 runner up finishes with near identical CWS appearances as Texas over the past 40.

Adding UT to the sec
this may be a common occurrence
It will assist in making it stronger, but SEC baseball is doing just fine without them at present. What the SEC has done in baseball over the past few decades has been tremendous.
Maybe not a year in and year out powerhouse, but Oklahoma added to the mix isn't just some run of the mill program either. The rich get richer with the addition of these 2.
Living in Central Texas would be fun during the college baseball season. College Station or Austin for 10 or so weekends of good SEC baseball would be awesome. Could even catch a series at Texas State if the 2 big boys or on road trips.

Finish it off tomorrow LSU.
No! We "need" a 3 game series for more drama. 10 games decided by 1 or 2 runs thus far and not a single blowout in the 14 games played. If there was ever a year to have made a trip to Omaha, this is the one.

Less than hour until first pitch. College baseball fans, may we have a great finale to a great CWS!

Yes. Yes yes
very good games
I’m hoping for 3 games and paul skenes to come back on 4 days rest and pitch a shut out.
Sadly he will only be on 3 days rest come Monday. Not sure if he will be called on the rest of the CWS. Maybe a relief appearance, but even that might not occur.
He has been beyond impressive.

What a fun CWS this year! Great game after great game. Hoping for a 3 game finale and don't care who wins. Just keep playing great baseball.

Better fit but, TV contracts will be larger in BIG 10. Hate that fact as I would like to see them in the Big 12 as well.
