Man @TexasSoftball got hot at the right time. I am so stoked we won and love giving @TechAthletics grief. But I was getting tired of the @TexasTechSB money complaints. It is totally legal to pay players now and their program is going to continue to be good because of it.
Hook’em🤘🏻
@jwilliams_nba Man I hate that you didn't stay for the softball finals. I've become a Tx Tech softball fan over the past few weeks, starting when I was stuck in the hospital and watching the Florida series where the Gator team and fans were classless. I think it's great how you stuck up for your daughter -- she's awesome.
This Michigan State grad now has Tx Tech as my second favorite when it comes to college sports, a big part of that is your daughter and her team. (The other big part is their Coach Joey Mcguire making Sarkisian look like a passive aggressive puss).
I hope your daughter and her team pull it out, and I think you're awesome!
The 4 highest viewed games at the entire Women’s College World Series are:
Texas Tech vs Alabama (2 mil)
Texas Tech vs Alabama (2 mil)
Texas Tech vs UCLA (2 mil)
Texas Tech vs Tennessee (1.9 mil)
The two semifinal games between Tennessee vs Texas had 1.0 and 1.5 million viewers
Texas Tech’s expensive roster is helping bring new audiences to college softball.
The Red Raiders’ WCWS games against UCLA and Tennessee peaked at 2 million and 1.9 million viewers—becoming two of the five most-watched non-championship series ever.
Maybe (?) an unpopular opinion among my fanbase but I am real sick of "they paid for their team!!" argument when it comes to TTU softball. Football programs are shelling out millions on their teams, but suddenly it's a problem when it's a women's team paying? Gimme a break
Sen. Ted Cruz tells @YahooSports he is scheduled to meet Thursday with Big Ten commissioner Tony Petitti and SEC commissioner Greg Sankey to continue dialogue on the Senate college sports bill.
People of other conferences not named the Big 10 and SEC, we want to do a joint statement in response to this BS that those two conferences put up. Who is in
@405pokefan@DNP_chopper@North_Star_Red@lanecart07 I understand your dilemma here and feel the same way. I’ve been cheering for big 12 teams against SEC/BIG recently, but it just doesn’t feel right. We need to win more of these games, though.
Seen a TON of misinformation regarding transfers for Texas and Texas Tech softball. The numbers floating around are incorrect for both teams. So this should help provide some accurate information and also some context to the discussion.
Texas Tech has eight new transfers on the roster in 2026. They have 15 total transfers.
Texas has four new transfers on the roster in 2026. They have five total transfers.
Texas Tech's eight new transfers this season:
Jackie Lis (Southern Illinois)
Mia Williams (Florida)
Lagi Quiroga (Cal)
Taylor Pannell (Tennessee)
Desi Spearman (New Mexico State)
Jazzy Burns (Ohio State)
Kaitlyn Terry (UCLA)
Nikolette Schmidt (Houston)
Texas' four new transfers this season:
Kaiah Altmeyer (Arizona)
Taylor Anderson (Oklahoma State)
Brenlee Gonzales (Texas Tech)
Sophia Bordi (Oklahoma)
Texas Tech's prior transfers:
Alana Johnson (Washington)
Nija Canady (Stanford)
Mihyia Davis (Louisiana)
Chloe Riasetto (Louisiana)
Vic Valdez (Louisiana)
Lauren Allred (Louisiana)
Makayla Garcia (UT-Tyler)
Texas' prior transfers:
Kaydee Bennett (Abilene Christian)
One other note of context: Gerry Glasco took over at Texas Tech prior to the 2025 season. Davis, Riassetto, Allred, and Valdez came with him from Louisiana (along with the now graduated Alexa Langeliers) to help build this new program that had only three returners from the 2024 team: Reagan Jennings, Logan Halleman, and Demi Elder.
They had three players left from the prior era. The portal (and their eight-player recruiting class for 2025) was necessary to mold a roster out of thin air.
So anyway, stop sharing that bogus graphic... and also stop acting like any team that is utilizing the transfer portal or NIL (Texas, Texas Tech or anyone else) is doing anything wrong.
@Itz_not_a_race@BeaverGrad@RossDellenger I see your point. What is your solution? Seen any good ideas that make sense and are realistic?
A promotion and relegation system would be ideal, but it’s not realistic.
@BeaverGrad@RossDellenger True. And it’s just going to get worse. Everyone is trying to survive and it’s compounding the problem.
Hope to see Oregon St back in a major conference where they belong soon.
