My great-great grandfather was UT class of 1889, my great grandfather UT class of 1912, my grandfather class of 1941, my dad class of 1988 (graduate degree)...
Of course, I didn't go to UT (went to school 170 miles to the east in Houston) and my cousin is currently employed by Fairfield athletics.. To say I'm conflicted would be an understatement!

My guess is stags will be beaten badly by Texas! But honestly I do not care! The stag team has accomplished more then I could have expected. So good for them!!!

In baseball anything can happen in one game. But its all gravy from here on in, this team has proven they can compete. TX pitchers will all be reseted, that gives them an even bigger advantage. Our staff has been worked hard. |

A Stag win is a tough ask given Texas is fresh, in their home park and #2 in the country.
And our bullpen is seriously taxed.
But we have proven we belong and deserved the at-large bid.
It has been a season for the ages regardless of tonight's outcome.
Go Stags!

All right, Sansone is probably unavailable tonight, along with Noviello and McLoughlin. But I think everyone else could go, even the guys who pitched against ASU. In fact, Cafaro and McVeigh might like a chance to redeem themselves. My guess is that Grabek starts, and I expect to see Signore play a big role again. I agree with other posters who say unheralded pitchers will have to step up if we're going to compete with the Longhorns. We need to play this game inning to inning, if not out to out.
That said, it's going to be a tough haul against a great Texas team. I agree with those who say it's house money from now on. The Stags have nothing left to prove. Just go out, have fun and take your best shot.
I've never been prouder to be a Fairfield sports fan. What a great day. What a great weekend. Go Stags.

I think they could start Signore and ride him as far as he takes you. Just like we saw in the MAAC, baseball is an easy game for the better team to lose. Pitchers have to keep the ball in the park and we have
to keep hitting. Anything can happen and often does.
BTW. I think we’ll want a separate baseball topic on the board next season.

Starting Signore makes a lot of sense. He has certainly earned the opportunity.

I'm getting Old Miss/Southern Miss p on ESPNU. Did they move the game to another ESPN channel? As noted a few spots up, the game has been moved back to ESPN 3. HOWEVER, in my case, when I click on the video nothing happens. OTOH I can click on another game and it does work. Damn frustrating at the moment! Any others with the same problem? |

I have no idea. I'm in the same boat. For some reason I can see a 10-minute preview on my phone. I have an ESPN+ subscription that is not related to my cable company - so I don't get it.
