I haven’t posted on the baseball thread in a long time.
Thanks for the info. I had to leave to go out of town right after that play and didn't get back until Sunday afternoon, so I missed anything that wasn't updated by @joeywa.
aggy gonna aggy
Ugh. So stupid. Why does the NCAA feel the need to be "offended" over something that Longhorn fans laugh at?
Hopefully you’re not talking about the last four years of either of those coaches.
I sort of agree with you. But it’s the timing. You can’t sing the national anthem and then say Go Pokes to one team and do a horns down at the other. That’s just aggy. At that moment, it’s just play ball. Show a bit of dignity.
They were the #1 fielding team in baseball. You listed one base running error by a player as evidence. There were also a lot of good things done on the field.
It doesn't offend me, it pisses me off. There is just too much rude shit going on in this country now a days.
There’s one more thing I always wondered. If somebody did the horns down at you, is it ok to give them the double rods or would a single rod suffice? Cause that’s what they mean.
College rivalries are supposed to be fun. If a hand signal turned upside down triggers someone that much, the problem doesn't sit with the person making the hand signal, tbh.
I agree the Horns have shot at the championship. There’s no team hands down better. On offense and defense, Texas may be the best. The pitching is just ok but ok enough with the offense and fielding.
When that happens, definitely it’s the double rods while placing your fists together. This creates an appropriate Horns up sign for the festive occasion.
Actually, the SS supposedly hollered out “foul ball” and Hodo pulled up and looked back at the plate. Call It gamesmanship, Bush League or whatever, but players can’t succumb to that stuff.
Lots of people piping in nationally making fun of the Horns saying it is nothing and the NCAA is too sensitive. That aggy singer is a hero to the aggy cult. When I was working in the area a few years ago, I stayed at a motel in College Station and my truck was vandalized 3 times in 2 years because I had a Horn on the tailgate. There were at least twice as many upside down horn stickers than aggy logos. Their vitriolic hate for Texas is unreal. If a UT National Anthem singer had done a thumbs down at an aggy game, the response would have been overwhelming. They would have gone nuts just like they did when they found out we had been welcomed into the SEC.
In other words, if our previous coaches were as good as Pierce (60% rate of CWS), we would be celebrating our 45th trip to Omaha instead of just 38. Please stop with the Coach Pierce and Coach Allen slander, at least until they stop having high levels of post-season success.
