I'm not right about a lot of things one reason I've been married twice

But by golly I got this one right I predicted an ORSU win that wouldn't be close and I got it right. I.don't know if that pitcher of theirs, Kevin Able, is a major league prospect but give that kid credit. In the biggest game of his like that kid pitched the best game of his life and there aren't a of players that can say that regardless of sport.

And I've said this before and I'll say it again. Whenever AR plays somebody that wears orange in a game that really matters they just don't lose they lose in spectacular fashion. Whether it's baseball or football whether it's ORSU or Texas the song remains the same

Well, Abel was drafted out of HS and will be again. He will fill out a bit but I don't think he'll ever have top round stuff. He has a terrific 3 pitch combo at the college level, but his FB is soft...meaning while it is low 90s it doesn't have heaviness to it. In other words it can be flat. His changeup is probably his best pitch and his CB has some nice depth to it...meaning it looks like it is going to be a strike deep in the zone then just disappears. Having said that it isn't devastating.

As of right now I'd grade him as a C1 prospect, which means he would project as an end of rotation starter for a middle of the road club.

FB - 4/8
CB - 5/8
ChU - 5.5/8

Freaking Shaddy just entered into a life long of “if only’s” He went from the overachieving walk-on to the fans biggest disappointment.

This has to be the one of, if not the biggest, choke job in CWS history. Poooooooorrrrrrr Piggies!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Scholz]

A few thoughts:

• Beaver always wins in the end.
• Also, haha, toothless hillbillies. Tremendous choke. Suck it, Van Horn douche.
• Also, aggys, take the title off your stadium wall and go cry a little. And STFU about your conference, you do nothing, coattail riding lessers.

 

[HornDrummer]

I don’t think Arkie choked at all. The stage was too big for them and their fans. Didn’t belong. That’s the difference between the programs with history and, well, Arkie.

Sad, too - because I was pulling for them just a tad for my dad’s sake. He’s a ‘69 alum and a great example of true sportsmanlike fandom. I try not to associate him with most of their garbage fanbase.

I regret that I have but only one like to give.

Surely someone has made a GIF of this.

You're done here. Nothing but antagonistic, confrontational, posts and taking continual digs at Texas. Go over to a Hog board and have a ball doing that over there.

Of all the idiocracies Piggies & Aggies ever did was to leave this conference. Once it got just alittle (hot) for them here they had to turn tail & run away to the $EC. Now they are just a bunch or wannabes & also rans.
The only way they can regain any respect & credibility again is to come back to our conference, their real home.
Once they come back to this conference they will regain so much respect & cred again that you will even lift the ban on all of the trolls that you ran off here

^^^ Umm no. aggy never earned any respect to begin with, and they certainly wouldn't be welcomed back to this conference with respect.

 

[westx]

Also, haha, toothless hillbillies

Careful, I don't think our resident ou fans appreciate sharing this description with arky.

I just...... I just don't have the words! You're level of awesome-ness encompasses a stratospheric Mecca that I truly wish to partake. Seriously, it is imperative that we hang out. I will send a freaking charter jet to pick you up for the express purpose of:

Getting you plastered so's that I can all your awesome takes.

Seeing exactly what you bring in your "fanny pack". Is this weed that has a 90% rating? I only ask because, I'm not into weed, but I am into an anomaly of paradox such as yourself. And to reach those ionospheric heights, you'd have had to been on some great swag.

Let's do this.

Metcalf..... can I get some help?

 

[Metcalf #2]

Well you do need help, but sorry I'm not a shrink.

Jk what's the problem?

A belated mention that Pierce was named national coach of the year by Baseball America a few days ago.

Well deserved!
