Bama vs. Texas Tech - Go Bama!!

[BamaFossil]

Hopefully TT will have some lingering muscle fatigue from their OT game last night.

 

[bamamc1]

I'm so ready for this game. Our girls have played their heart out all year long. RTR!

 

[Krymsonman]

We will need to be on the top of our game tonight. Texas Tech is loaded, mainly due to stealing 15 top prospects from other schools. There's nothing like this modern era of NIL and the open door portal. Who can blame the player. If somebody waived 6 figures at me, I'd have to at least check it out. We need to send the best team money can buy packing tonight!!

I sure hope we don't lose any of the players that we have returning for next year because we could be really good again. IIRC, the #1 pitcher on their staff has made $1,000,000 per year over the past two seasons.

Yes, that's Canady. If I remember correctly, she got a raise to $1.2 million this year, plus a house to live in. The girl they took from Florida, Mia Williams, gets roughly $250,000 per year. Mia Williams is a kid who committed to Florida when she was 12 years, played their for 2 years, then up and left for Texas Tech. I'm assuming she left because the dollars were greener at Tech. The Texas Tech Matador Club is their official NIL program. When Tech lost to Texas in the WCWS finals last, the Tech coach decided he needed more bats, so he started pillaging programs.

I'm here in Lubbock and have enjoyed watching TTU softball. But as a 2X Bama grad, I will be pulling for the Tide along with one UA daughter. Wife and oldest daughter are Tech grads. Gonna be fun at my house tonight. I have the shakers strategically placed.

 

[BamaFossil]

I wonder if we'll get Canady or Terry. In their UCLA game, IMO Terry looked stronger than Canady. Last night Terry did the lion's share of the work but Canady came in to close out the game... and get the lion's share of the credit from the announcers. Gotta' be some interesting locker room dynamics with a team that's so blatantly mercenary. Yes, legal, I suppose.

Watching UTe versus UTw. Both teams struggling defensively early but the errors haven’t come back to hurt either team. Scoreless heading to top of third.

Hate both of these teams. It’s watching a fistfight between your two worst enemies and hoping they kill each other.

Yeah, Terry was in three different times to pitch, and she definitely seemed sharper than Canady. Terry was the pitcher Tech stole from UCLA. I'm sure UCLA wished they still had her last night. Counting the closing out the game, Canady appeared 4 times in the circle. I'm pretty sure we'll see both of them as the Tech coach likes to swap them out depending on the situation and the hitter. We just need to be ready for either one. ROLL TIDE!

Hmm, which ugly orange team in this game would we prefer to face?

Good question. We lost the regular season 1-2 to the Hillbillies in Knoxville. We won the regular season series with UTw 2-1 in Tuscaloosa but lost to them in the SEC Tournament championship.

Either way, I guess we want the burnt oranges to win this game to force them both to play two games today.

Then, hopefully, we can win the first game this evening.

First wish granted. Hoping you're 2 for 2.

I hope we start Briski and win the first game. That 2nd game, if necessary, wouldn't start until probably 10:30pm ET. It is hot there again, feels like 102. It will feel like 98 when Bama plays. Very humid. I noticed the TN pitcher asked for a towel a few times because her hands were so sweaty.

Tech will be tough to beat, especially with their 2 really good pitchers and all the transfers they have. If for some reason Bama doesn't win the game/games tonight, I might just have to pull for Texas to beat Texas Tech again like they did last year in the finals. I think Texas Tech beats TN today.. at least it looks that way so far in game 2.

 

[Krymsonman]

The burnt orange swept a double-header today against the ugly orange. I was torn on this one as I'm no fan of Texas, but I think I'd take Texas over Tennessee. I'm still mad about the Phat Phil stuff. Anyway, if we can make it thru tonight, we will play Texas, starting Wednesday night.

ESPN just came in with a short break. They said it only feels like 101 right now

 

[Krymsonman]

Tech is in their red uniforms tonight, BAMA in their elephant gray uniforms tonight. Looks like we're the visitor in this game.

 

[Krymsonman]

Quiet start for BAMA in the top of the 1st - pop out, K, and ground out. Is it me, or do we look at a lot of pictures that look good to hit.

 

[CrimsonTitles]

Briski was dealing in that first inning.

 

[Krymsonman]

Bottom of 1st: Briski in the circle. Almost gave up a dinger, but it was foul. Briski said no, no. Next pitch was a K. 1 down. Follows that up with another K, 2 down. And a third K. Inning over. No score after 1 complete. Let's get the bats going BAMA!
