Ags get the day off tomorrow and will play the winner of Vandy/Alabama on Saturday in a single elimination semi final.


The SEC tourney is a little different since they take 12 teams and try not to play a whole ton of games. Top 4 seeds get a bye. 1st round is single elimination, 2nd and 3rd is double elimination, semis and finals are single.

Texas moved to 2-0 in the Big XII Tournament by beating Baylor 4-3. They will play Tech or Baylor on Saturday.

Augie tying a knot in that rope.


The very thought of Augie being on the hot seat shows how clueless Patterson is. He happened to make an extraordinary hire for the hoops team, but in reality it was a no brainer. You do not call a man's job into question who is almost inarguably the greatest ever to hold such a job at the college level. And in the "what have you done for me lately" category, he did take a very overachieving team to within one game of the National Championship just one year ago. I know you probably agree but if he is actually on the hot seat, it is beyond ludicrous. Augie is very popular among the BMDs who are also "baseball guys." I would love to see Patterson further alienate himself, but not at this man's expense.

I agree it Augie is on the hot seat at all he should not be.  If next year repeats this year then maybe - and I mean maybe there should be a discussion that maybe his best days are behind him.  

 

But1bad year - com'on lets not over react.

IMO, he goes out on his own terms. He still recruits well and he did not lose his ability to coach over summer and fall. He finished 3rd in the country ONE YEAR AGO! And that was not close to one of his better teams. There is a reason Texas is arguably the most storied program in college baseball history. Gus and Augie. And we are lucky as heck to have had them both. To even have this discussion is silly at best.

So whats up with the national seeds?

Miami, UCLA, and LSU are just about as locked in as anyone.

Miami is on the bubble Ucla, LSU, Louisville, and Indiana are for sure. Miami, A&M, Florida, Vandy, DBU, Missouri State, and TCU are going for the last 4 spots

National seed just means that they are guaranteed to host a Super Regional and avoid one of the other best teams. If you are 9th you could get put in a region with the #1 team. Baseball is different that they try to group teams together by location to save on travel.

    • Still, from what little I saw, it should have been a much closer game.  WOS was missing some fundamentals on defense, and a lack of imaginative play calling on offense.  Just my opinion as an objective observer on Texan Live, which was horrible btw, but that's another story. 
    • Either way,one game lead in the series. I rely to much on word of mouth 
    • West Orange Stark has been a powerhouse since I csn remember. At some point, your bound to fall off to some degree. Alabama has 3 or 4 loses this season. Who would have thought? Has Orange lost kids to LCM or even Orangefield?
    • Interesting matchup this Friday. Both teams have very good offensive and defensive lines, which will make this game interesting. Having watched Texas High all season, they have a wide open offense with very good skill players. If you look at their stats they run the ball 57% of the time and pass 43% of the time. Personally, that is a bit deceiving, as most of their games have seen reserves running the ball in the 4th quarter. I would estimate the primary offense is 50/50. Through 12 games they have run for 3,224 yds (48tds) and passed for 2,894 yds (32 yds). Potter, the Tiger QB, has been very efficient with a 69% completion rate and 1 interception (which came from a tipped pass). The passing is distributed primarily to 4 receivers…. Ball (865), Wrightner (811), Montgomery (532), & Pilgreen (392). The rushing comes from 3 running backs … Johnson (1,432), Ball (768) & Moore (716).  The Tiger defense is solid and very quick.    Hope #15 is healthy enough to play. He is a test for any defense. I was concerned about the Nederland RB, but felt Texas High did a good job containing him. I wish this game was in the afternoon, as Nachitoches is having their Festival of Lights and their will not be any rooms in the inns and restaurants will be full so plan accordingly. PNG are state champions until someone knocks them off, so I extend the Indians the respect they deserve. Pulling for the Tigers.  
    • The baseball coach has a ton of experience at high school and college level and hasn’t done anything for I think around 7 years now,it’s just something that the higher ups live with.And there has been talent come through that he hasn’t done anything with!
