Looks like the renovations are just to the dugout and clubhouse. I'd really love to see an expansion and shelter added to the stadium.
Thrilled to see any renovations to Lovelace but, as far as softball stadiums go, Lovelace is fairly average to below average.
I was at Tarleton State last month and was really impressed with their stadium (photo below). They just upgraded to add a shelter and they have all an all turf field, something most programs, including high schools, have now. Little Elm HS' softball stadium is very similar to this.

Maybe to establish a relationship with Guyer? That might be the logical answer, but who knows the real reason.
Looking at MaxPreps, Guyer has had a good program, and made it to the state championship last year. Would be great to get a couple gals from there. Seems like most of our Metroplex softball recruiting has come from Collin County.
Probably not, softball recruiting is nothing like football recruiting and HS softball talent, relatively speaking, is far inferior to HS football.

15-32, 218 yds, 0 TD, 2 INT
Yep, that's pretty awful. He did have 4 carries for 62 yards, including a 38-yard TD. I just caught the last quarter and a half of the game. He had that nice run and the 4th down conversion, but I guess the supporting cast, both offense and defense, is the biggest difference between Kansas and UNT.
Regardless, big win for Kansas and big win for Bean. Congrats to him. His time at North Texas was mentioned by the announcers a couple of times...any publicity is good publicity, right?

just beat #6 OU (by converting a 4th and 6 with 1:00 left in Q4). Can someone remind me why he couldn't start here?

What is up with the shot selection?

I see a LOT of posts associating Morris with recruiting and developing Mahomes.
So, let’s talk about Patrick Mahomes.
Patrick Mahomes is, without a doubt, one of the top QBs in the NFL today.
What is debatable is who gets credit for recruiting him to Texas Tech. What’s even more debatable is who should be credited with his development and when did he become the QB we see today.
The son of a MLB pitcher, Patrick grew up on the baseball field. He was an all-state selection in baseball all four years of HS and all-district selection in basketball all four years. He played safety his freshman and sophomore years before switching to QB his JR year. While he earned 4-A all-state honors as 1st team QB and Offensive POY, he was rated a 3-star prospect by ESPN, Rivals and 24/7 and a 4-star prospect by Scout. He only received three offers from Tech and two of the following: Houston, Rice, OK State OR UNT, per this story in the Oklahoman. I was pretty in tune with UNT recruiting in those day and I don’t recall this, but wouldn’t that have been something if we had landed Patrick Mahomes? Per 24/7 and Rivals (see previous links), he was recruited to Texas Tech by Sonny Cumbie and Trey Haverty and Kingsbury closed the deal. There is no mention of Eric Morris. This Bleacher Report story also credits Haverty.
While his college career was laden with gaudy statistics, both individual and team offense, his W/L record was an average 13-16. Tech’s offense was ranked in the top 5 scoring offenses in the nation. Conversely, the defense was ranked 126th, 125th and 128th (out of 128 FBS teams at the time) during Mahomes three years as a starter. At Tech, he never played on a team that surrendered fewer than 41 points per game. Defense is what has always concerned me with the Air Raid offense.
Even with those gaudy offensive statistics, Mahomes was the 2nd QB and 10th overall pick in the 2017 NFL draft. The NFL scouting report on him didn't portray him as a sure thing.
Conclusion: Patrick Mahomes is just a freakish athlete and may have been able to play professionally in baseball, basketball or football. I hear he was also really good at golf as a teen. He does things on the football field that QBs are not supposed to do. His ridiculous basketball pass for a TD against the Broncos last week is a perfect example of that.
As a QB coach, that is not what you want your QB doing. It works for Patrick because he is a freak of nature but there aren’t many guys who can pull that off in the NFL. I can’t credit anyone with developing him as a QB.
I also don’t find any conclusive evidence that Eric Morris had any involvement with the recruitment of Mahomes to Texas Tech. If anyone has any concrete evidence to prove that, I’d love to see it. I'm not trying to discredit Morris but, at the same time, I don't want to give him credit for something extraordinary that he may not have done.

This thread is almost as good as the one asking why Phil Bennett yells so much.

Real football isn’t like the Puppy Bowl, but Phil has nothing on the late, great Sam Kinison who, quite literally, made a living out of yelling:

Thanks...I tried the 95.3 audio stream but they are playing music, while it's live on the radio. 🤷♂️

You guys suck!! I've been trying to find the game for the last 20 minutes and was reading this thread at the same time. From the way everyone is bashing every play, I thought we were getting beat by 20+ points.

To say I’m underwhelmed by this season’s home schedule would be an understatement. However, home games against Texas Tech (2027), Baylor (2029), Missouri (2030) and Colorado (2033) are exciting to me. Of course, a lot can happen between now and then to cancel those games.
I’m excited, to a lesser extent, to welcome Cal (2023), Memphis (2023), UNLV (2026), Wyoming (2027) and Army (2028) to Apogee. Texas Southern, Abilene Christian, Stephen F. Austin, Houston Baptist and Texas State don’t interest me at all.

Beat Nevada 7-6 in their first game today and are leading ACU 3-0 in their second game.
Close, it was a 6-5 come-from-behind win in the last inning.

You need more than one field to host a 6-team, round robin tournament.

I want to break 50 points too and, honestly, this is how I expect us to beat UTSA every year.
