BB: ASC: American Southwest Conference

That was a good story Ralph and I loved the Cockroach analogy:

"T.C.U. is like a cockroach," Royal complained then. "It isn't what he eats or carries off, but what he falls into and messes up."

I am not sure Sull Ross would like to be compared to the lowely insect but I am sure they would love to mess things up.

But there is some psychological comfort in being acknowledged by DKR as to what you really did!   Every athlete likes to mess things up if they cannot win the whole thing themselves.

Dawgs Dad,

Dawgs Dad,

you going to be in seguin this weekend?

Yup. Should be getting there a little earlier than normal on Friday as I need to deliver a glove I'm relacing.  Will be there on Saturday for the DH as well.  Look forward to meeting and chatting with you dp643 If it's cool, I'll have my black warmup on with the kids number on the back (23). Otherwise I'll be probably only one of the dads with a score book in my lap or one of three TLU parents with huge camera in hand... Should be fairly easy to ID me...

Really hope the team has put behind them the lackluster performance they had this past Tuesday night down at Trinity - that was a painful game to watch!!  From what I'm hearing they have but the proof will come soon enough - very critical series to say the least!

This looks like it's shaping up to be a pivotal week for the ASC West teams. Things could change in the East but not as much as what's at stake in the West... I can't wait

Good chance I will be there Saturday. Work has me on Friday though

Congrats Ozarks...

12-7 winners over Hendrix.

I know this is a baseball site but I wanted to put in a plug for the UTT Softball team. The were named the #1 team in the country in both DIII Softball polls with a record of 19-1. I got to see them play last week and they are a very good and well coached team. The UTT complex is awsome the softball field is a mirror immatge but smaller version of the baseball field with stadium seating and interactive scoreboard. The fields sit back to back and the set up is just like a smaller version of a DI complex. For those in the ASC west that have never been to Tyler the complex is a first rate treat and fan friendly.  Attached is the BB field with expanded seating just added this summer. The softball field has the same center covered stadium seating but not the expanded seating.

I got in trouble at UT Tyler for sitting in the "season ticket holder" section. Joking aside, its a beautiful complex, especially with the scenery that surrounds it. UMHB's setup is very similar too Tylers with the Fields backing into eachother.

Big weekend in baseball for the ASC as the west is so tightly grouped that every game counts.

In the East the big series is UTT at UTD. UTD is a hitters park and with high winds from the north west projected for this weekend the games could turn out to be a pitchers nightmare. UTD leads the ASC in home runs and Slugging percentage and is second to UTT in RBIs. UTT leads the ASC in most offensive catogories but is well behind UTD in home runs. UTT has a better pitching staff but the wind may take away that advantage. UTT is good road team winning 2 out of 3 away. UTD must not loose 2 or more again to stay in the hunt since last week they dropped 2 out of three on the road at MC. They are 3-3 in the East whereas UTT is 5-1.

Close game down in Seguin today. TLU 6 UMHB 4.

Wind was blowing hard 25-40 mph most of the day (out to all fields). Surprisingly, only one homer out of all that wind blowing outwards. Pitchers did well today,  keeping the big guns in the game, within the fenceline...
