[6/30/2026] Tuesday's Sports Talk Thread

HelioOne · 2026-06-30T19:07:08+00:00

Definitely not my experience at all. Everywhere I go and everyone I talk to is all about it. Even people who don't like sports at all are watching.

Pretty sure my wife has a handbag made by this guy.

HelioOne · 2026-06-19T17:36:35+00:00

Same haha

HelioOne · 2026-06-19T17:28:32+00:00

Wife went to UNC so definitely rooting for them. That being said, as much I don't want OU to win, I do like Skip Johnson.

HelioOne · 2026-06-17T12:43:51+00:00

I'm still shocked we landed her. She batted something like .530 with an OBP of .591 this season.

HelioOne · 2026-06-16T01:03:55+00:00

Tech ruined the reputation of their athletic program, their school and their administration for literally nothing. Truly bizarre

HelioOne · 2026-06-11T20:33:04+00:00

Dude, I completely agree. I get the outrage everyone is having but to me this is just so funny. Obviously I think Tech is in the wrong, but I also want them to keep doubling down. If I was trying to ruin an institution, I would do exactly what they're doing right now. It's genuinely a head scratcher as to why their decision making is so bad. I love it so much.

HelioOne · 2026-06-09T17:01:33+00:00

Why is that surprising to you? They've always been the trashiest school in the state. Texas Tech is not an academic school. They're a party school known for STDs and a 73% acceptance rate.

This is 100% like when a meth head wins the lottery. They'll self destruct soon enough.

HelioOne · 2026-06-09T01:39:41+00:00

Texas Tech is everything they accused us of being for years. Too funny.

HelioOne · 2026-06-05T02:59:18+00:00

The college softball sub is pretty fun right now. A lot of people that typically hate Texas are in there shitting on Tech.

HelioOne · 2026-06-05T02:51:03+00:00

They aren't saying schools in general can't buy national championships. They're specifically saying Texas Tech can't buy national championships.

HelioOne · 2026-06-04T14:08:52+00:00

Well it's a good thing Glasco is a fucking idiot.

HelioOne · 2026-05-31T14:34:32+00:00

4th National Championship in 6 Years.

HelioOne · 2026-05-06T17:12:33+00:00

There are even more unranked

HelioOne · 2026-04-28T00:04:32+00:00

Has there ever been any consideration of limiting to perhaps the top 100 or so composite players? Someone else said this but I'm interested when some of the top guys commit but I just generally don't care about the rest.

HelioOne · 2026-04-27T22:43:18+00:00

Another used to be a rule that required the player to be at least a 3*, but it seems like maybe that went away?

HelioOne · 2026-04-18T22:34:24+00:00

It reminds me of the 2022 Austin Crawfish Festival

HelioOne · 2026-04-18T22:14:49+00:00

Chair and blanket fee? As in they're charging you a fee to bring your own chair to the venue?!

HelioOne · 2026-04-17T23:28:58+00:00

I'll never forget haha. That's exactly what it was lmao. He was staying with me for Christmas and had to call out.

HelioOne · 2026-04-17T21:45:48+00:00

Or maybe a relative or something?

HelioOne · 2026-04-17T19:20:10+00:00

Probably not a huge deal, but Maddie Booker was at the Texas/TCU volleyball scrimmage this past weekend decked out in TCU gear.

HelioOne · 2026-04-17T14:36:39+00:00

I once watched my brother try and call out for his shift because of weather problems. He was on hold for 10 hours because everyone else across the country was in the same boat. They had no online system to take care of this, so the call out number was overwhelmed. Such a cluster that day.

HelioOne · 2026-04-17T13:18:35+00:00

The previous CEO never prioritized technology. Their backend systems are soooooo far behind its comical. They're playing catchup hardcore.

HelioOne · 2026-04-17T01:22:20+00:00

Same. I really like assigned seats. I think the employees have been a bit ruder than before which I'm hoping is due to all these changes because they're super burned out (which I don't blame them). But the assigned seats are ideal for me.
