@ScoringChanges Disagree. This was a very catchable throw. It wasn’t at the ankles. It wasn’t mid-calf. It was at the knees. That’s a catch, with ordinary effort, a first baseman makes and the runner is out by two steps in my opinion.
@PeterBurnsESPN Nobody carries the water for the SEC like Burns who has turned that into a cottage industry. When do you tweet that Kentucky and Miss. State, two teams Texas was fortunate to beat, would have been in Big 12 title game? I’ll give it an hour.
@SSurewould@CJVogel_OTF Scott, Tech should play a tougher non-conference schedule, but Oregon, Miss State, and NC State have all canceled with Tech in the last two years.
@rcb05 I don’t think there’s anything more cute in college athletics these days than when Aggies and Longhorns come together to have a Kumbaya moment to keep Tech in their lane.
@AmandaMAtwell If Tech is offering to buy out Texas’ game with Texas State — a mere pittance for the flagship university of the state, but a financial hit for the little cotton college — shouldn’t UT stoop to play at a neutral site? You want Tech to buy out both games AND play in Austin?
@JoshyManningEsq Beat senseless? Tech trailed Oregon, 31-30, with less than a minute left before a pick six w/ 35 seconds left made the score final, 38-30, the largest lead by either team. Do you even do football?
@_MaroonKoolAid I’m sorry, I was distracted by another double in the gap by Arizona State on the way to a run-rule and first-round elimination again of A&M. Something about women’s tennis? The sport so big schools are cutting?
@cjogara The portal window is two weeks. The top players are signed in about three days. That’s an extremely tight time frame to uncover this. Did Cincy know? They had him for two years. If Tech should have known, certainly UC should have.
@ScoringChanges@AlabamaSB@Vol_Softball But calling for a ball — and calling off another fielder — and then failing to complete the catch that in the OS’s mind would have been made with ordinary effort still isn’t an error?
@TexasFancyBoots Thursday night is not the same as Friday, and Thanksgiving is on Thursday. Black Friday is 2 weeks after end of regular HS season when schedule is greatly reduced. Plus several of those games were in afternoon and didn’t conflict w/ playoffs. Otherwise, great points.
@LoewyLawFirm@JimVertuno@kbohls Those who dislike Kirk just want some kind of fawning cheerleader coverage by “reporters” who are just honored to be in the presence of all that’s burnt orange.
