Blaire Luna: McCoy to Osterman's VY

Luna is a good story, but the bigger story in terms of title hopes is that the softball team has an offense.

Cat’s last two years the team was obviously rated #1 in the nation at preventing runs. Unfortunately, they were #57 then #54 at scoring runs. Not even Cat’s dominance could make up for that.

This year’s team is #10 at scoring runs and once again the best in the nation at preventing them according to Massey’s ratings.

Hhhmmm, I don’t think this one holds to the statistical pattern you two hope it will, but I won’t derail it.

Cool story about softball…..
I think Ded is about to write one about Tech track and field – you should check it out.

When they came with the Texas Rangers stories I didn’t speak up, because my baseball team sucks. But if BC is going after then vaunted WNBA market segment, um, well, I didn’t read it so it might turn into disgusting roller derby porno somewhere towards the end and if it does then disregard this whole thing, but if the headline is accurate then let me some up my feelings on the issue with a giant WTF????

“Osterman’s VY” sounds dirty.

If Cat dominated a team sport like no other longhorn blah de blah de blah…. then surely, Vince Young was Longhorn Football’s Cat Osterman, rather than Cat being the VY of Softball.

BOOM!!!!!

Shared a gate at Bergstrom with the softball team last spring. Most of them were snoozing on the floor like Yogi Bear. It was actually pretty funny.

Introduced myself to the coach, who seems positive, articulate, and outgoing. Not surprising that they’re doing well.

Thanks for the write-up, JB.

In an attempt to save the reputation of this site I pose this question.

Who would produce the most athletically gifted children?

A) Sanya Richards – Aaron Ross
B) Cat Osterman – Vince Young
C) Destinee Hooker – Either of the Famed Shipley Bloodline
D) Nordberg – Henry James

On a related note, Cat Osterman has begun blogging on the front page of BON about heading overseas to Japan to play pro softball:

This article is like a taste of what is to come on the Longhorn Network. I would like to know more about a number of other sports at UT besides football, basketball and baseball. Thanks for posting it, JB.

I’m good with this article. Better than crap about the Rangers.

Davey – I will go with none of the above and submit the write in candidate of Destinee Hooker and Vince. Those kids would grow up to be 6’6" with speed to burn and the ability to jump out of a gym.

Ok guys, youre wives aren’t watching. You don’t have to pretend you give a shit about our softball team, our golf team, the lady horns B-ball team, or mens/ womens soccer (I’m not even sure if we have teams for both) I understand it’s nice to acknowledge our softball team, but can we get an article about our baseball team and 3 football related articles to get posted at the exact same time, next time? That way people like me, (who openly admit they don’t give a F*^#) about the softball team can have something to read.

You know, I’ve changed my mind…. there’s no two ways around it…. this is the gayest post in the history of Barking Carnival. Not only is it an article about softball, which is gay in it’s own right. It also compares VY to Cat Osterman. I live in chicago, and if
I here Derrick Rose to Michael Jordan comparisons one more time, I’m just gonna snap. this is even worse. We are all now dumber for having read this. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul- Billy Madison

Pat’s bitter because he only gets to read BC when his wife gives him permission. Hard to care about softball with a leash that short. Sorry bro.

Jokes aside, BC is for Longhorn sports enthusiasts, not just men’s football/bball/baseball. Plenty of UT chicks read these posts, and plenty of guys would like the Lady Horns to do well. It’s cool if you don’t care about women’s sports – most don’t, myself included. But rooting for your team (even when it’s softball) isn’t gay.

Glad Jeff and the rest at BC are secure enough in their manhood to post this write up. Hook ‘em.

Defintely Nord James or Henry Berg would ROCK his BURNT ORANGE world or at least get his BURNT-ORANGED dyed BALLS off !

My guess is that Pat won’t be too thrilled with Trips’ upcoming 3-part essay

This is beginning to make me uncomfortable.

Women’s softball is fun to watch, if you haven’t sat down and took in a game then I recommend it. Trying to hit a ball flung at you from 43 feet is a challenge for anybody, male or female. Back in the day men’s fastpitch softball was extremely popular until the untalented masses discovered slow pitch.

Buster Posey’s sister hit a Home Run cycle yesterday for Valdosta State.

Wow, BC found the one person named ‘Pat’ that isn’t a fan of softball.

Softball has always been a sport for women on exact opposites of the attractive spectrum. They’re either rather large and attracted to their own gender, or smokin hot. Every once in a while you find the truly unique one like Cat, that is both. Allegedly.

I am dumber for having read Pat’s drivel.

HAHAHHAH. Damn it…. I guess this was one I should have kept to myself. Apologies, gents.

One wonders how many of the Osterman acolytes has actually been to a fastpitch game.

Vince is fucking Superman. He played his best in the biggest games, and was absolutely nails in the clutch. You can say a lot about Osterman, but “nails in the clutch” sure isn’t it.

Hmmm…..I don’t ever remember Cat being in a position to score runs for her team. She pitched her ass off in the CSWS, but got no run support.

 As great as Vince was in that game against USC if the defense doesn’t make that stop VY never gets a chance to write the final paragraph in his legend at UT.

PLW – that’s a horrific take.

Texas went to the WCWS three times when Osterman was here. Five losses were shutouts and the other game was a 2-1 loss. That’s right, Texas scored one run TOTAL in the six losses but somehow Osterman wasn’t “nails in the clutch” according to you. Wow.

I repeat – make it to McCombs much?

I was recommended this web site by my cousin. I’m now not positive whether this post is written via him as no one else recognise such targeted approximately my difficulty. You are amazing! Thanks!
