Texas ⚾️ Preseason #1?

[joeywa]

Kendall Rogers is leaning that way.

Seems like everything is pretty settled. Going to be a fierce competition if you want one of those last spots in the lineup

[Soldierhorn]

THIS is the way it ought to be.  And, if Hornsports can pay the players it will stay that way.

This is good news. I do like how Pierce has got the team going in the right direction.  

[java]

Go, Horns!

[Sirhornsalot]

Was Pierce a CDC hire? I can't remember.

[TB14]

No I don’t think so. I just remember him being our 8th choice or something close to it. Lol

[Wayne]

He was a Mike Perrin hire.  

[Soldierhorn]

Joeywa, if you had to guess at a starting lineup today, what do you think it would be?  Pitchers will probably be Hansen, Stevens, and Witt.

yep, in 2017 IIRC

I don't really care about being #1 in the pre-season poll, I want to be #1 in the post season poll.

Got tickets to Texas vs LSU at Minute Maid for Christmas. Going to be a great game vs top 5 teams.

CDC is first and foremost a fundraiser. That's how he made a name for himself at both Rice and TCU. Plus, getting the Horny Toads a Big 12 invite.

Chris Beard fell into his lap. Glad he closed the deal, but I doubt it took much cajoling.

Great fundraiser. Closed 2 great basketball coaches. Got Herman out when he should’ve, and got Texas into the sec. 

[Sirhornsalot]

Wonderful. Now did he hire Pierce?

Hell, UT to the SEC didn't take any salesmanship. They wanted us - not Arkansas - back in 1990. It's been on the back burner for decades.

CDC should share the "credit" with Prez Hartzell.

I don't think so since Pierce was hired back in June of 2016. CDC wasn't on board yet.
