Tough losses.
UT lost to the champs 2-1 and 4-3 while facing the Bednar/Simms combo twice. Texas in the non Bednar/Simms game beat Miss. St. 6-2 (to go with wins over Virginia and Tennessee to finish 3-2 at the CWS).
Texas actually fared better against Miss. St. than Vandy did, all while having to face the Bednar/Simms combo twice to Vandy's once. Texas run differential against Miss. St. was better than Vandy's too (plus 2 for Texas, vs. minus 14 for Vandy).
Not a championship, but a pretty fun run to the final four.
Miss. State was the better team, and I was happy to see the Bulldogs win once Texas was eliminated.

How did Texas do against SEC competition this year?

Ahhh, the transitive property of sports contest outcomes. If you want to apply that logic, A&M performed better against Texas than just about everyone else. I meana 1.000 winning percentage in 2021, allowing 0 runs and only 3 hits along the way. Seems impressive when you can pick abs choose your data set.

I was just piping in to say that I enjoyed Texas' season regardless of how far the HR flew, and pointing out that Texas played the champ closer than the other competition.
That doesn't mean Texas would beat any of the other teams just because it gave the Bulldogs their sternest test.

I've said that I thought Vandy was better and that Texas' performance didn't mean that it would have beat any other team in the CWS other than those it did.
I don't get many threads about Texas at the CWS on my preferred site and went overboard on the positive stuff/stats. I'll cede the field in disarray.

All good...just needling you a little bit. Gotta grasp at whatever straws you can when your team checked in its gear and fired its coach a month before some of the other teams did.
You're a gentleman and a scholar.Faustus said:
