P.S. Beat the whorns

I can never root for UT in anything…ever.

Plus, I kind of like Tech’s hayseed coach, even though his hyper-substitution thing drives me nuts. He got his start coaching his kids when he was already in his 40s after being a hunting guide in Mexico, started a championship travel team, then moved up the coaching ranks - cool story.

His teams, played in a few of the same tournaments in Colorado and Oklahoma that my daughter’s 18U team played in during her high school years. I remember him from those years.

The only time I root for whorn is in javelin catching and kamikaze competition.

If it is B12 vs others I will cheer B12 (even TT and UU) , In conference it is UH over anybody and if UH not involved anybody over TT and UU.

People will latch on to the NIL angle, but that dude would have competitive teams even without paying big $$. Players could transfer anywhere and get paid. They want to play for a great coach, play with other great players and compete at a high level, and all pitchers want to get a chance to hit. :laughing:

Why does Utah matter?

it’s just their attitude of ‘we’re better than you, we’re going to be joining the Big 10 soon, we’re so much better than all of you.’

Amazing how many snide remarks the announcers are making against tt. I approve, but if I was a raider I’d be pissed!

UT wins 7-3. Boo. Maybe TT will pitch and hit better tomorrow.

This is absolutely the only time I can ever pull for ut. Tech’s new found arrogance and self entitlement supersedes ut’s current and past self entitlement.

Suck it Campbell.

Pulling for UT in anything is a sign of depravity, imo.

On the one hand, it would be good for The Big 12. On the other, I don’t think anyone knows we field a team so :man_shrugging:

Nah, Big 12 all the way. I can’t ever root for ut. But then again, this board has a bunch of ut fans on it.

Aren’t you a ut fan? I’m surprised that your rooting for Tech.

Nothing TT does athletically is “good for the Big12”. That’s not the narrative. TT is a big-spending free agent. They are about themselves only.

The Big12 doesnt get anything aside from a few bucks out of a TT win. No positive press, no spin, nothing. The only narrative coming out of Tech wins is about $ and how much of it they spend. TT athletics is a vanity project for a guy too stupid and apparently warped in his values to spend his $ on something that actually matters.

Personally, I enjoy hearing about (I’d never watch) them failing. They try so hard to buy what they can’t win through developing players.

I want them to fail over and over till the rich boy decides he doesn’t want to waste money on them anymore. I want to see how long that takes. And of course I don’t want to see him validated in his efforts. That certainly wouldn’t be “good” for UH or the Big12.

But… To each their own, I suppose…
