Clemson defeated Texas 7-4. From what I heard it was a comedy show by the Texas defense.Texas-Clemson has a weather delay. I think there might be a little more of that this weekend, except in the Big XII baseball tournament.

Hopefully they lose. My focus today is on how OU plays vs Bama. I think winning game 1 is very important. Less pressure on them if they win. Alabama is a dangerous team and the last thing they (OU) needss is to play from behind if they were to lose.Defense was poor on both sides, but poorer on the TX side.
Thought TX looked like they were sleepwalking through parts of the game. When I realized it was 12:30am while the game was still going on, I figured they really were half asleep.
Will be interesting to see how they play today.
It does seem that way, & it does surprise me a bit. He was a hella good pitcher in his playing days, so you’d think he’d tilt the balance to defense a little more than what they’ve shown so far in his tenure.So game one and two, the lower seeded team playing on the road won. I just switched to YouTube TV, and when I watched the first two innings, they taped the last five innings of the late game, so I watched this morning. Texas shortstop played so poorly, that they replaced her in the sixth. Ironically, the key play was a funky one she made, but the umps for some reason, overturned the call when there was no clear difference in the call on a force at third. I wasn't pulling for Texas, but I was surprised it was changed. So were the broadcasters. I can't think of her name, but she botched three earlier plays on slow bounding ground balls, because of poor fundatmentals. It's hard to win a natty when you're not strong a 2nd and particularly short.
Texas has hit enough to overcome most of this. But as indicated early in this thread, Clemson ain't that great. The Horns might still pull this Super out, but their future chances look dim. Clemson is one of about three teams, who routinely starts one pitcher and then brings in another after five or six. I thought they mostly played solid defense, though they misplayed a foul deep ply leading off b7 that gave Texas a chance to come back from down three. Didin't matter. White U thinks the playing better offensive players is the way to win.. Last night, it bit em in the butt.
Good pitcher, bad coach! Perfect for the mightyless Wronghorns! Glad we don't have him. I Iove the Gasso system/way/style of Softball.It does seem that way, & it does surprise me a bit.

I am pulling for Clemson over Texas. Living in Arkansas and with wife bein a Hog fan it tends to make me lean towards the hogs. On the other hand, the Hog fans I work for make it easy to root for Ole Miss. guess I will just watch with wife but show no favortism for either.Right now, OU and Tech are the only two in. Since Texas also started on Thursday, either they or Clemson are going tonight, weather permitting. It also looks like Oregon will win tonight, but liberty has come from behind, before.
The other matchup, I'd love it if Arky went home, although their offense might be one of the best tests for Ms Canady. The Pigs have to win two straight to get there. They don't play until 8, unless I misread the time zone.
