Cal State runs 16 Div 1 sports on an annual athletic budget of $6.5 Million. Texas on the other hand runs on a sickening overflowing tank of excess to the tune of over $60 Million. Here's to the little guys. I hope they saw off the horns. They just cut down Texas in the first game of a best of 3 College World Series, 6-4. That's a start.

Go Titans!

That's why baseball is one of the only few untainted sports in college athletics. I can assure that there is no way that Rice could win a football national championship, but last year they went out and won the national championship in baseball.

I'm not sure if I'm rooting for the Titans, or against the Longhorns. It's always good to see the little guys holding their own against schools from power conferences.

I would definately saying that I am rooting against the Longhorns, but also would be glad to see the small Big West program beat a Big XII school. Although this isn't unfamilar territory for the Titans seeing as how they won the national championship back in 1995. But at the end of the day, I will just be glad to see UT lose, which hopefully will happen tomorrow as well.

For me it's David vs Goliath, The Rebels vs The Evil Empire (UT), Non BCS vs BCS.  Go Titans!

Agreed. We have more in common with CSF than we do with UT, and it's always great to see the little guy take the bully down.

I am a Texas native but do not root for UT, astros, spurs; unless they are the underdogs then maybe. Why should I go for our competitor?

I firmly believe that one day (maybe 20 yrs) we can be on the same level as ut athletics.

I am a Cowboys fan not Houston!

A UNT fan not UT, TT, UT etc.

Ranger fan not Astros

To me it's called loyalty! Less championships UT wins may help our recruiting in the future.............am I wrong? But has UT had it droughts of success in sports...............other then facilities, conference (which in time could change) what do they have on us?

UT Academics...true but how many star athletes in any D-1 school graduate and if so how many care about tier 1 vs. tier 2 or 3 Universities.

So, to sum it up................I only go for my teams, Cowboys, Mavs, UNT and go against our competition, because they are!!!!!!

I am the same guy that has plays Madden 2004 online only w/cowboys w/ rec of 240-120...........after my wife is asleep!!!!LOL wink.gif

      Again, we have an athletic budget $10 to $16 million more than those other schools we've mentioned. Why can they afford baseball but we can't? Do we offer sports they don't? Something isn't adding up. For what it's worth regarding revenue vs non-revenue sport, ECU's stadium seats 6,000 and it's highest reported capacity was just over that against NC State this year. The stadium reportedly cost $11 million in 2005 so probably would be double today. I know ECU gets great support but that just shows the opportunity is there. Would a baseball stadium that seats 4k not yield a higher return on investment than say a new $50+ million basketball arena when we average around 4k in our current basketball arena?

      Honest tactical question here…

      We hired a coach that runs the Mike Leach run and gun offense.The concept is score fast which puts the defense on the field for a lot of the game. We knew this when we hired him so why are we surprised that this is what he is doing? The problem is that we have a shit defense to begin with, and when we go 3 and out they don't have time have a brief rest between possessions . If he can fix the defense net season we should be okay. If not make a another coaching change that based upon our history will change nothing.

      I ABSOLUTELY agree! We had 77 new players, but most were freshmen. You can’t win with freshmen. They leaned too much on this IMO. It’ll take a good 2.5-3 years for them to hit their stride. By that time…hello portal.

      Flyover?

      They saw the stadium and thought the game was cancelled coz of all the empty seats.

      On the other side there is no reason to think we can compete in baseball. Its a financial drain that starts with the construction of a venue ,which I will ballpark [pun intended] the cost at at about $15 million which we don't have. Then the cost of staffing, scholarships ,travel ,Title 9 additions, etc. , all for adding an expensive non revenue generating sport seems irresponsible.
