First pitch is at 6 tonight at uta’s Allen Saxxe Field.  First of three games against them in four days.  Gonna be a cold one.  And will be a tough test.

 UTA is deeper at pitcher than we are and they played #2 UCLA to a 2-1 loss.  I HOPE we play well.

This was a hell of an entertaining game despite the loss,  7 home runs total, five by NT on a frigid (32 degrees when I got back to my truck) night the north wind was screaming out to center field.  

Problem is we kept hitting solos.

Twice Makawe was standing on deck while we had runners on base only for the inning to end, ...then she stepped in the box the next inning and hit bombs.  No doubt it would have been different if the nation’s hit leader had been in the lineup.

Still it was also a night everything just went uta’s way along with untimely errors.  Especially in the first two innings that saw them go up 4-0.    I counted at least 3 hits that cueballed off the bat and didn’t get 15 feet from the plate.  Just those squirrelly spinning balls right on the line that died and no one could do anything with them.  We also had a Pop fly that hit dirt we lost in the wind and a bunt and throwing error to first.  I can’t help but feel the cold played a part but that’s baseball.

UTA is good, and deep at pitcher.  The pitcher that got the win tonight is maybe their 4th pitcher and one of two freshmen they have from California.  And that’s another thing to take from this game is their stud didn’t get the win and ours didn’t get the loss.

BTW, just in case you think UTA isn’t serious about softball.

Pretty damn nice for a little sister school.

      Odom DC??

      It was the highest paid assistant position in all of G5. We're in DFW and its recruiting potential. We'll get looks. I haven't dug into who's available, though. I'm sure NIL budget would play into this, too, but I don't have any insight into that.

      I guess it depends on the DC. The LaTech guy may want to make the jumo to the AAC. Same for the Sam Houston DC. The Rice DC just had their HC fired.

      sure. so maybe it's just semantics, but nothing above equates to "elite" for me. both from the standpoint that "elite" is rarified company and too when we start using language like that the @untbowler's of the board will show up only after every loss to blame our deified coach and the AD that didn't go after Will Wade I guess. just trying to help keep ten toes on the ground for everyone and make sure the basketball conversation stays intelligent and not at all resembling the football forum.

      That just sounds like delusion to me. If the defense breaks into the top 80 next year statically, I will be very surprised. Of available job openings at this level will be low on list. I would much rather join a brand new staff with 2 years of stability guaranteed than come here.

      🤣🤣🤣🤣. Hypocritical yes. Unfair? Because y'all were stupid enough to get caught repeatedly? Give me a break. Without the Penn State scandal this opinion had no basis in the reality of what happened to SMU. I will give y'all credit for trying. But again this thread being posted here is part of the big reason we are a Joke Program and NOT SMU's rival. I have never been more disgusted with our Program and we are waxing poetic about SMU while UTSA laps us. 🙄
