On Sunday, the Longhorns defeated No. 17 Rice, 4-1, to claim the Austin Regional title. Texas also registered victories over Rider and Louisiana on Friday and Saturday, respectively, en route to the championship.

Other than possibly Miami could be a better team? They are ranked ahead of us and not far behind Texas. We certainly have a shot but you are slighting Miami if you think this is a no-brainer. |

Before you answer remember Collegiate Baseball currently has us ranked 26th. |
I'll answer your question with a question. You don't think Miami has the talent to get out of the regional? If you say they don't, then YOUR comment is dead on and I will change my stance.
Before you answer, remember that Miami is ranked 11th. _________________ An insane deer... Paper... Taco meat. |

True:
TBy your criteria, that means that the only coach that should be kept on the current staff is Henry.
Absolutely, positively all of 'em.
Lots of luck with that.
And your analogy doesn't hold water because there is no conference tournament for football like what we have for hoops or hardball.

Goodson,
Hold on, not so fast...Henry's great work was last year...
...perhaps we should wait and see how they do in the NCAA's this year before we leave him off the list...
Good luck to all the teams still playing this year  |

Yeah, we won a National Championship in football in 1939 too. I don't think that qualifies us for powerhouse football status.
By the way, if you follow the link,the Ags won 3 SWC titles in row (51, 52, 53) with t.u winning 50, 54, 55, 56, 57, 58 and 59. I think t.u. has the edge in the 50s. At least according to the Texas Almanac.
Assuming your point is correct though, doesn't that show that with the resources we have available now we could/should be a powerhouse in any sport for which we are willing to dedicate adequate resources? After all, if we could do it "all military," why not now?

Yes, we have on par talent compared to Miami. We should have also hosted our own regional and not been in this position, but since we are (because we always have an excuse) we DO have a far superior pitching staff, and when we get our heads out of collective butts and hit the ball we are better at the plate too.
Now, your turn to answer and do so before the outcome is determined. Then answer the following. Does our team have enough talent to host their own regional?
On a side note thanks for proving my point that there is ALWAYS an excuse with you guys. _________________ Proverbs 28:26 He that trusteth in his own heart is a fool: but whoso walketh wisely, he shall be delivered.

It was huh?
Would you like to answer the follow up or will you too find an excuse to justify why we are in our current position? And as with mpaul do so before 2pm Central on Tuesday June 8th 2010. (Adding the date so we don't have another excuse. ) _________________ Proverbs 28:26 He that trusteth in his own heart is a fool: but whoso walketh wisely, he shall be delivered. |

| I look forward to next year. Others get their jollies mostly when the team loses and they can talk about firing the coach or how the players suck. |

We went the year without our projected #2 starter. It shows up in a seris like this when you do have to play 5 games in 4, then 5 days. (dang you for getting hurt Ross Hales)
We should have the talent to have our own regional. But we did not get it done.
Miami is a very good team. The last time they lost a regional in Coral Gables was in 1992 (or was it '90/).
They are tough down there.
Both teams had to fight the weather. They fared better at winning that battle.
Now the smack about coaches can begin.
Rob is our coach right now and I am behind him.
I do not like the way we are teaching a plate stance. I do not like all the sacrifice bunting. I do not like our uniforms or the way they sometimes wear them. I did not like the parking lot issues this year. I am sorry we didn't have a regional. I do not like kids (young one's) in the dugout. (dang, dang, dang, dang, dang, dang, dang you, Rob)
Take some time off and hit the road, guys...
Thanks for the nice try in Florida...thanks for the Big 12 Tourney victory.  _________________ We can think all we want, we can suggest all we want, we can surmise all we want, we can prognosticate all we want, but ultimately, those boys have got to suit up and play the game. |

Agdad,
You were behind Fran until the bitter end, too. That didn't work out too well for the players or the fans.  _________________ Texas A&M Football - Doing less with more since 1999. |

Publically, yes.
Because I have a different view than you. That view was my upbringing...not casting stones, just explaining my views...it twarn't my fault ...scratch that, I am responsible for my actions.
We have corresponded before. My views on Fran were after year 3, I thought it was time. But he was not let go, he was the Aggie coach, so I would not denigrate him or his staff. After the Cal year, I thought he did deserve the 5th year. I certainly was worried about the potential 6th year...what with OL, DL and LB. The email letter was ridiculous and ridiculously reported, but it did provide an out for Bill, Fran and the rest.
Rob is not Fran. Rob has gotten us to 4 straight regionals. We are not at tu's level in baseball. Don't know that we will ever be there. But, I think we are building something here.
Just an opinion. As good as yours. You obviously have little to no more say about coaching hires as myself.
You call some things as you see them, as your thought processes allow. I do the same. You rarely let public support of a coach go if you think it misguided. We are a lot alike. We just disagree on the premices, not necessarily the needed delivery...  _________________ We can think all we want, we can suggest all we want, we can surmise all we want, we can prognosticate all we want, but ultimately, those boys have got to suit up and play the game. |

Yeah, you're right about that - my potbanging ain't gonna make a hill a beans difference at the end of the day.
Please forgive my snide remark - we both want the best for our alma mater, so that's not worth arguing.  _________________ Texas A&M Football - Doing less with more since 1999. |

Discussing is okey-dokey.
And you have some legitimate concerns. I gave some wild attempts at humerous concerns, but I have a lot of baseball technical concerns, as well.
And I will say, I am much more in tune with MLB than college. I just have trouble with the bats, less now than before, and I have only begun to pay more attention. So while I have views on baseball, I am not certain that what I think is really best in the college game where we play.
But, I will eventually figure it out so I know I am right all the time...
