I must have known it at one time, because I clearly remember them being very good when Clark was there. But I guess the details have faded over time.

UT beat them and then lost to Miami in the final, iirc
Was that when they brought Swindell back on short rest?
Yep.
Will Clark signed with Arlington while Palmeiro was a FA with designs of staying there.
He was pissed at Clark.
Didn’t see this elsewhere, and I know it’s 2025, but Rice has fired head baseball coach Jose Cruz, Jr. It’s unusual to make a change mid season, but he has just been a disaster.
There’s a thread in the first section, but to the content, that’s surprising mid-season and all.
Did Berkman become the interim?
That’s very unusual. I wonder why Rice felt that they needed to pull the trigger right now.
Nevermind, I see their pitching coach, Parker Bangs is the interim. Also, researching Lance, I learned he had little success in his three year stint and stepped down last year. I saw him in the dugout when the Owls played the Aggies earlier, so I assume he is an assistant.
Yep, Berkman is a volunteer assistant at Rice now:
Looks like the Owls have hired David Pierce

Arizona beats West Virginia 6-4 in 16 innings, striking out 29 batters. That breaks the school record of 21 set back in 1940, which was set by a single pitcher, Ken Heist.
He thought he was pissed because he lost his local PED supplier.
They fired the football coach this year too. They must be getting ready to make their move on the SEC.

Auburn Swept LSU this weekend for the first time since 1988 (when the first baseman was Frank “The Big Hurt” Thomas). They head to Austin next weekend.
I didn’t realize until yesterday that UT is 28-5ish and ranked #2 in the country. I know none of their players this year.
And they’re doing it without their best player (and probably Day One draft pick) Max Belyeu who’s still out with an injured thumb.
