This was asked of me by a longhorn, horned frog bootlicking, non-college graduating smart ass that had been waiting for his chance to work at my station just to rub my face in the fact that we are down this year. My immediate response?

"THEY'RE MY TEAM. WIN OR LOSE, THEY'RE STILL MY TEAM, AND THAT IS ALL THERE IS TO IT!".

Not surprisingly, he had zero response back.

Rick, you should ignore people like that. Most fans of other teams realize that no team in the history of teams has won every game. All teams have lost games they shouldn't have and had their butts handed to them at some point. What comes around goes around. Our resident OU guy here in the office is pretty quiet these days. He still asks respectfully how we are doing, and doesn't rub it in when I respond, not too well. Anyway, guys like that are useless and will always be sheep following the closest Shepard they can find.

Good shooting, Rick. Fandom isn't about winning or losing. When the chips are down, EVERY team, no matter how big it is now, has gotten the tar smacked out of it. It's the true fans that really stick with the team when it's 11-0 and when it's 0-11.

Besides, it's easy to like a team when it wins. It's also easy to do a lot of things in life when it's easy and popular.

Yep. There are only two kinds of fans. Fans that share Rick's mindset, and fans that just want to be associated with a winner.

A coworker of mine walked past me and said "why does the mean green suck so bad this year?"

I was in a hurry to a meeting, so I said, "Too many reasons to list."

He didn't really care. He just sees my "four in a row" shirt that I wear all the time and wanted to rub his A&M Big12 bragging rights in my face.

After three weeks of losing for A&M, I saw him today and asked the same question ...

He said, "I guess I spoke too soon.."

I said, "You jinxed the whole school with your hubris."

Even a Kentucky fan is talking trash to me this year. His trash talk is, "atleast KU is losing in the hard conference in the nation ..." yeah yeah. Losing is losing.

See everyone Friday night.

Good job Rick!!! We're moving in the right direction with this program. One losing season doesnt set us back the way some people might think. We will be in title hunt next season. As for what people are saying this season. I respond with...

"Four consecutive conference titles and bowl games, and NOW we are losers?Right, I think Darrell Dickey may also be responsible for the whole "global warming" thing too... Get a clue"

GMG!!!

      SB vs Wichita State (4/26)

      Here's what the conference tournament would look like if it started today. Finished 2nd or 3rd is the difference between having to win just two games in two days, or four games in four days.

      Yes, win 2 of 3 in Charlotte and should be at least Top 2. If we do that and there's a three-way tie for first at 19-8, I'd imagine we'd take the top spot because we'd be 4-2 vs. the field, FAU 3-3, and Charlotte 2-4 in that hypothetical. Thanks! Wasn't able to watch that game, just kept up on Twitter.

      Regardless of what happens tomorrow.....we need to win 2 of 3 in Charlotte....right? As to backup catcher Moffitt......in our last game at Memphis....she tripped over first base....and fell on her wrist. I'm guessing it's a sprained wrist. As to backup catcher....I don't think we have one. But they used Olguin to warm up people in the bullpen. And remember on Kalei....she had to catch 16 innings last night.....and today's game was early. So might just be gassed. Go Mean Green!!!

      I missed the first inning but good to see Childers back in and getting some momentum. She retired the first eight batters she faced, striking out five or six but then unfortunately walked the bases loaded with two outs. After a wild pitch scored one, #29 for the Shockers hit her 18th homer of the year to put WSU up 4-0 on only 1 hit. The same freshman pitcher for the Shockers that was perfect through 4.2 last night started today and had a no-hitter through 4.2 again. Unfortunately this time she did not break. Wagoner had the last four innings and pitched well until WSU got some insurance runs off of her in the 7th. I hope Childers can get back in a rhythm. Gonna be tough to go to Charlotte with 1st place still on the line with only two reliable pitchers. Another thing I noticed this weekend was that Kalei seems to be a little slow going after those wild pitches. Obviously the first run of the day scored on that. We didn't even get a throwback to contest. I wonder if she's hurt. Backup catcher Moffitt was in a sling this weekend, I wonder what happened to her. I don't know if we have a third catcher on staff. Charlotte and FAU both won today, so they're 17-6 and we're 17-7. Would be nice if USF and UAB did us a favor and won tomorrow so we'd be tied for first heading into the final weekend. Seems UAB wins when we need them to lose, and vice versa. I just want a top two seed so we only have to win two games to take the conference title. I'm really tempted to go ahead and request Friday the 10th off so I can head up to Wichita.
