re: Is 13-17 enough?

Just beat NW State on Tuesday night. Then worry about Bama. IMO, we are going to need 14 SEC wins (including in SEC Ty) to get into the NCAA Ty as a #3 seed....
We are not IN a regional anywhere as of today....

Another pitching collapse. We just do not have enough consistent pitching....
Losing to us means very little to the Aggies. They are still a top 4 national seed. Winning means tons to us though....
Title IX is not an NCAA rule. It is Federal law. IMO, football's 85 schollies should NOT count in Title IX considerations since football revenue pays for all non-revenue sports (men and women) already....
I'd bet that a majority of schools who play baseball would elect NOT to fund 30-40 baseball scholarships. All schools already lose money funding baseball at 11.75 schollies. Funding schollies is about the largest expense of a baseball program in most places....
Did Larson bat against Florida, Arkansas, or Tennessee? Seems like he has been starting just in more recent series. But he is a damn good ball player....

If the dumarse fan had NOT reached for the ball, its a Trav HR!...

Fan reached over the fence maybe?...
Vitello took over a moribund baseball program and has turned them into an SEC contender. He also has built a fanbase from not much and baseball at UT is "on the map." Jay Johnson has done more than Vitello as he has taken two different programs to the CWS champ series and won one NC....
It all depends on how we play in Las Vegas, IMO. Win in Vegas, by 10 points + and we are on our way. Lose our opener and we will struggle to get to 9-3....
Hey, OP...Utah-BYU (Holy War) is already back on ad infinitim. Both schools are in the Big12 now....
Guys, Jared Jones will be 21 soon and is draft eligible. Unless he has announced it, it is not a given that he will come back for 2025....
I guess it is possible for us to win ONE versus the Aggies. But I do not think it is even possible for us to win 2 vs A&M. IMO, we are more likely to end the regular season at 11-19 in the SEC....

We are 6-13 in the SEC and in 13th place. Perhaps we can at least get to where we would even make the SEC Ty before claiming we've "turned the corner." I'll be at the game Saturday pulling for us to at least win this series....

re: Larson turned the season around

Our schedule "turned the season around." IMO, if we win this weekend and beat the Ags 2/3, our season will be "turned around."...

re: So who makes the SEC tourney?

Posted by GeorgeWest on 4/26/24 at 9:37 pm
[b]Auburn[/b] and either LSU, Mizzou, or Ole Miss will not make the SEC Ty....
Any new arena is NOT going to have less than 13K capacity is my bet. We sell too many season tickets to Gymnastics and WBB to build a smaller arena....
My WBB season tickets went from $200 a seat to $250.00 a seat contribution included. Very reasonable, IMO....
My WBB tickets went up $50 per ticket. LSU has no choice but to play in the SEC-ACC Challenge just like last year when we hosted VA Tech in December. We will play this season on the road in the ACC. The SEC decides where who we play in that game....
