I was very surprised by the many empty seats during our games. Games I watched at other regional venues had very large attendance when the home schools played. Perhaps there is a similar lack of enthusiasm related to generating NIL.

The food and drink prices at Davis Diamond are absurd, however that wouldn't keep me from buying a ticket to get in to watch softball. At some point maybe they will get some bleachers out there similar to baseball, but I don't see it happening anytime soon.

I was really hoping Trev would find a way to upgrade concessions at sporting events. Guess it isn't on his priority list.

He is a master of pricing upgrades.

How many of the remaining 16 teams have a head coach that is also the pitching coach. I am guessing none.

Texas

Apparently they don't listen to those surveys they send out every year on Kyle Field and Olsen and Davis, etc. experiences. Because if they did, they would've gotten rid of Levy years ago. It really is horrible. We sit in a really nice area of Kyle, we've had tickets for 40 years, not trying to brag, and our selections are horrible.

Olsen is a little better but seriously they don't seem to give a rats ass what people have to say in these surveys.

That's why you tailgate!

Deifel at Arkansas.

I thought Pattie Taylor was the pitching coach at Texas.

Not everyone likes to do that. But regardless of if you do there still should be better choices.

She is on paper but Mike White is doing the lion's share.

Pannell wasn't the closer we needed. Didn't really have anyone after the two syds. That was a flop of a transfer

---

Sparks and Vestal were flops too.

---

The year Sparks and Pannell had is a direct result of the change in the strike zone this year. They simply don't have the arsenal to be effective at a high level with this new tiny strike zone.

Coach White does good bit of the pitching to hitters in practice, but Coach Taylor works with the pitchers on mechanics and game planning.

This is simply not accurate. He is very hands-on with the pitchers.

Coach White was a pitcher for Team New Zealand and Team USA, so he and Coach Taylor share the responsibilities. I believe he does most of the recruiting and makes the final decisions on personnel (starters, pitching changes, etc.). Coach Taylor makes the visits to the circle when no pitching change is being made because she helps them make adjustments mid-inning. Coach White talks with them between innings and when Texas is batting. I have no connection to the program or inside knowledge, but that is what I've noticed in the documentaries and the "mic'd up" segments on LHN the last few years.

She goes out to talk scouting reports and how they want to attack hitters. Mechanics are usually left alone during games. White is very active with regards to mechanical issues during the fall and early season.
