Kind of like BYU not mowing their stadium field for 3 weeks before the frogs came in and kicked their asses.

not sure if it is the relevant vince coleman story, but it is a good story when you consider the fastest man in baseball got sidelined by a tarp going 2 mph

I get this. I do. But I always root for Tech and UT to lose every game they play unless they're playing Baylor. I've never understood, nor will I ever, the SEC SEC SEC mentality that roots for a rival over an out-of-conference opponent. I want our rivals to endure harm always; not just when they play us. If we have to be the one to lay waste to their hopes and dreams I'm happy to do so, but I prefer they have no hopes and only bad dreams and that can't happen when they only play us once a season.
So darn UT, darn Tech, and darn Baylor just bc they need to be darned more than anybody.

So much this. If they fail and we don’t it elevates us. If we both make playoffs, CWS, whatever, the margin between us is slim. I want all of them to lose everything and for TCU to benefit from their defeat.

dead fish on the field, where the creek ran over its banks and into the outfield?
That is one job steel takes on with great enthusiasm, and humility.

They're actually across the street from Mountain Creek Lake (I think that's the name). They definitely had a ton of flooding due to proximity to that body of water.

kudos for combining a lawyer and "humility" in the same thought.

Or San Jose State having a muddy field to slow down LT, when it hadn’t rained in months.

I appreciate the “darns” all around. Never stated better. “Darn” them all.

So is DBU as good as their numbers or has the lack of out of conference play and an abundance of home games inflated their numbers?

Any Heefner coached team is gonna rain barrels on any team they play. It’s just his MO.

Was I supposed to type something here?
Heh. BIGXII Network. Last week, I was driving across Texas during the Baseball Championship. What did the BIGXII Network have on? A replay of an OU-BU basketball game. From February.
Just pathetic.

I get that - they always hit well but tend to hit a lot better at their own stadium than away - and their numbers are higher this year than most years.
So is that because they are truly a better hitting team than most years or is it more because they are playing at home a lot and against a lot higher percentage of teams that are below the level of talent they see when DBU gets to play out of conference games.

They are usually fundamentally solid. Won't make many errors. In our Omaha years we beat them. In non Omaha years not so much, so they are a good measuring stick. They won the FW regional once in 2011. Also been here for regionals in 2014 and 2017.
This year they played 4 conference games a week and no midweek this year. Schloss is well aware to not sleep on them.
