UCF looks like a strong team this year. They could challenge for the Conference title. It's a long season yet to go.

They have a very high RPI.

On an 8 game winning streak, and currently atop the Big 12.

We'll catch them, when they're smoking hot, at their field, next weekend (Thu, Fri, Sat). If we take that series, that would be huge.
 
aTm's pitching is holding up really good into the mid-season. They're shutting most other teams down as well. This year, their pitching looks like some of our teams from the past. I really don't like that team, and their fans (at least the ones who did not actually graduate from Texas A&M University), but they're quite good this year.
 
Ugh, please don't bring me down by reminding me how good aggy is. I'm still bitter at Schlossnagle for going there and saving their dang program.
 
:osu: - has balance; will be a challenge this weekend

:tech:- will be a nasty 3 or 4 seed, whose bats could randomly explode and sink the host

:ku:- where did these guys come from? They've always sucked.

:wvu:- Came out of nowhere to challenge for the conference title and national rep; they do this seemingly every year.

:uh:- Not what they used to be, but they no longer suck.

:rice:- Definitely not what they used to be.

:smu: - If only they could afford a baseball program...
Somebody should take up a collection, or offer to mow their field for free.

Things will get interesting for Schlossnaggy over the next 3 weeks as the ags take on LSU in Baton Rouge, Ole Miss at Oxford and Arkansas at Blue Balls Park in Collie Station. Let's see how they do...

Crap, some Oklahoma ******* just hit an inside the park grand slam (when does that ever happen?) against Baylor, about to clinch at least a share of the Big 12 regular season title.

Why would the Georgia pitcher put a foreign substance on his glove when he's wearing white pants. That's why God invented Ivory Soap - just not in rain and don't sweat too much.

I trust Schlossnagle and just wish he had waited for a call from Travis County. That's the one hire the Aggies got right since Emory & Jackie, but they offended Emory and couldn't control Jackie.

Their shrewd strategy of hiring recently divorced head coaches desperate for a new start in life might just pay off with Schlossnaggy (unlike Jimbo), but at least the ags are facing a little adversity here late in the baseball season. They lost the LSU series last weekend and this weekend they've lost their first two games to SEC bottom-feeder Ole Miss. Next weekend they get the pigs at Blue Balls Park.

:uk I’m telling ya, they’re good and can put some points on the board. They’re leading top 5 team:uga: in the 6th 6-4 with two men on base.
 
Bama leads the ags 4-2 in the 6th.
Bama still holding off the ags 4-3 at College Station.

Georgia’s bats came alive and they’re now all over UK’s pitching.

This new conference will have a lot of high scoring games. It’s like 2 out of 3 teams in the SEC are basically more talented versions of Texas Tech baseball.
 
Bama defeats aTm 6-4

Cal upsets UVA 6-1

Tech over UH 4-1

TCU over Ariz St. 3-2

:tcu: could be on the verge of breaking into the Top 25


:tech: they're pretty bad thus far this year. Tech's once very good baseball program has fallen apart. They just got swept by Grand Canyon and are 4-14 on the year. The win over the Coogs is a bright spot. Maybe they can turn it around.

I know it's probably not popular opinion on here but I miss the days of Larry Hays. I like a competitive Texas college scene, Graham at Rice was good baseball, those games at Reckling park were intense. Baylor had about 3-5 years of good baseball with Smith? was it? We lost to Baylor 4 times in the regular season, didn't beat them till we got to Omaha and had to beat them twice to get to the championship game. There was great baseball to watch within just about any short driving distance in the state. uuuggghh.. 😢

Early 2000's you had Hays at Tech, Graham at Rice, Smith at Baylor, Augie at Texas and Schloss was at TCU came toward the end of it. Golden age of college baseball in Texas.

Totally agree. Baseball (and basketball) aren’t football. Recruiting works completely differently in baseball.

The chants and barbs at Reckling were classic and what baseball should be all about. Worst barbs were from Graham to his own team while sitting in his folding aluminum chair outside the dugout.

I'll never forget us chanting "what's the score, what's the score", to which the Rice fans immediately pointed to the scoreboard while chanting, "can't you read, can't you read". Never any animosity, except the flaming body builder one year.

In the "good old days", I used to accuse Baylor of transporting their pitchers on a Browning Ferris truck. Not sure they had a pitcher whose fast ball could break 85 mph; junk, all junk, but we couldn't hit a junk ball pitcher.
 
I doubt aggy is ranked after this weekend, a stunning collapse from preseason #1
