Apparently, I can't figure out what is causing my comments to "await moderation". Basically, this in no way makes me worried about "what's going on in College Station" like The Oracle is...
Not only Texas, but present-day Arizona and New Mexico and parts of Utah, Nevada, Colorado and California owe a lot to Tennessean James K. Polk and the Volunteer State. Of course, the modern day invasion is a little depressing.
I could have happily spent the rest of my days without those Jackwagons in the same conference again, but since they are here, we just have to take care of business.
When it comes to money, it's better to have, than to not have. It would be nice to start seeing some results in the big three men's sports. IDK, maybe Schloss will get that going this spring. Pretty good so far.
The Athletic did start out pretty great. I still like Sam Khan, and Mitch Light has started doing a pretty good weekly "college baseball in review" that leans to a more national view. Football season and recruiting coverage is still pretty decent. Their comments section could be designed better. It can be a little hard to keep up with. I've got to give SDS a little credit there (minus that "expand comments" button)
No comments allowed for Matt Hayes' "First and 10" today?
I wonder what the o/u for the number of games played by any one Aggie QB this season. I don't think it's been more than 7 since 2020 (Kellen Mond).
Obviously, the other 14 teams aren't his "favorite SEC win totals" for betting. It's OK. There is a lot of time to talk of other SEC betting stuff before the season starts.
I (and most every Aggie) am the first to admit that's irrelevant history. You can't have a conversation with a horn fan without them bringing up irrelevant historical records. Good grief IS right!
LOL. Good grief. If it isn't another horn fan quoting "all time record" history to appear relevant. We have won the last three (convincingly) against you in Austin and 5 of the last 6 (while sending you home from Omaha in 2022). How is that recent record this season against SEC teams? Your baseball fans are starting to figure out what your future holds.
Meh, honestly, I was just looking for an excuse to complain about SDS spotty baseball coverage.
Totally "nothing" article. Yet Aggie's total domination of tu on the diamond last night..? (Crickets)
Meh, the rule has been there since late 2021. I'm the first to admit that I haven't heard if the conference is simply handing out waivers or if anyone has or will be challenging the rule. Those that administer the rules within the SEC may have a bit more power than the NCAA.
IDK, this was all I could find on the SEC web site regarding itraconference transfers: "In order to gain immediate eligibility, a student-athlete will need to declare his or her intent to transfer by February 1 for Fall sports, May 1 for Winter sports and July 1 for Spring sports. NCAA rules include similar deadlines except the NCAA deadline for Fall sports is May 1."
I believe it's past the deadline to transfer within the SEC and be eligible for the '24 season. IDK, so many rules do not seem to matter anymore. I was a bit surprised Elko was taking so many safeties in the portal. Good luck, I guess?
Move along... nothing to see here. How about a little more baseball talk?
If I'm not mistaken, the league used winning percentage average for the 2020 to 2022 seasons to try to give comparable schedules. The horns 2023 season has been a real exception as far as winning percentage but was not included when scheduling this coming season. OU had a better winning percentage for those years and got assigned a tougher schedule. I would not be surprised if t.u. goes 8-4.
It definitely was not journalism. More like BroBible "Sliced Bread". Hey but it's the internet, so it must be true.
The horns did well, but had an extremely easy schedule last season. Still, they lost to a “decent” OU team and struggled against mediocre to bad KSU, TCU, and Houston. I will not believe they can do as well when they are looking at real dogfights against UGA, OU, and @TAMU. I’m not sure they won’t struggle against Kentucky, and @Michigan, but sure Matt Hayes... "take over everything " LOL
Ain't scared. Didn't want to deal with this BS again in the same conference,but now... can't wait to kick that a s s Thanksgiving weekend. IDK where you got this Big 10 nonsense, but that IS nonsense.
I'm hoping the new pitching coach (formerly with the Mariners) and new talent can make a difference. I think we tied or set a program record for walks last season, and still almost made it out of the regional.
Thanksgiving weekend vs TAMU - “My goal is that we move that game back to Thursday,” Del Conte said. IDGAS what his goal is.
You know it is a talented league when Jace LaViolette is not mentioned when last season as a Freshman he hit 21 home runs and 63 RBIs, and has been tabbed as a preseason All-American by almost every major college baseball publication.
Moffitt is Elko's best "no doubt" hire at this point, but as far as on-field? Cushing needs to be good (heck, I'd take competent).
Win at Vandy, home against Arky, plus 3 or more from the remaining 6 and we leave no doubt for the committee.
Elko said in presser that if he plays offense, it will be a limited number of designed plays.
I feel soooo much better about these new kids in the new/simpler offense and Holmon Wiggins as the WR coach.
That WR room looks quite a bit better than it did for the bowl game (*). *Moose Muhammad rSR *Jahdae Walker SR Jabre Barber rSR (Troy transfer) *Noah Thomas JR Cyrus Allen JR (Louisiana Tech transfer) *Micah Tease SO Ernest Campbell FR Izaiah Williams FR Ashton Bethel-Roman FR Terry Bussey FR (if he plays offense)
