Sorry for the omission. I am over 50 so I will blame age. Trinity could be favored in the West with this many returning players

Just giving you a hard time....TU has never gone to a regional in back to back years.  They dont seem to play well with expectations.  Maybe that changes this year, maybe not.

Actually, the Trinity haters have aligned with conspiracy theorists to take the Tigers out of contention by the most nefarious method available.

Chapman's Brian Rauh has a no-no through five vs Whittier in Chapman's opener.

I don't buy it that "Teams" don't play well with expectations. With the turn over of new players always coming through teams are never the same and will always have a different mindset.

Baseball?  It looks more like Minnesota than Texas out my window!

Ever seen a Texan try to drive on snow and ice?

Or even worse, some wild man in a big pickup truck with dual rear tires and 4-wheel drive without the fancy snow tires that you use up north.  He is driving 15 MPH faster than the surrounding traffic!

Ralph, we just call that Tuesday morning up here. Snow tires?! Those are for people who don't understand how to oversteer out of a power slide.

That's great! I'd love to see this kid pitch, but my son plays in the New York region. Hopefully Chapman gets to Appleton, because I'd make the drive to see him, even if my sons team didn't make it. I live near Chicago, so it's only about 3 hours. Great start, Brian!
