Why would they do that?  Both Slap Yo Mama and Louisiana Hot Sauce are from the state of Louisiana. 

I don't have a strong opinion on the subject at hand, though.  I have both in my pantry.

Tobasco and Tony's are generally accepted to be the best, with all else being lesser.  Think of them like Alabama, whereas Slap Ya Mama and Louisiana Hot Sauce are Auburn.  They've got their fans, everybody knows them, and they're accepted as a legit thing, but most people are on the Tobasco/Tony's bandwagon (Alabama).

I also like Frank's, it has more flavor and moderate heat.

Nope.  The two schools will finish out the 2023/2024 school year in the B12.  The change happens on July1 or something like that, after the  baseball CWS is complete, which I think is typically the last collegiate sporting event of each school year.

Pfft.  I'm old fashioned, so years should just be years.  Phooey on all these fiscal years, school years, etc. 

Just come on and play ball with us already.

Really nowhere to go but down for LSU.  I expect they'll be good this year and probably get a tourney slot and maybe make a run, but they lose a lot from last year, including almost certainly the best pitcher and batter LSU has ever seen.  There is no "reloading" when guys like that move on.  And even with them, LSU had to pull off two miracles against Wake Forest and Florida in the CWS.  Not sure where to set expectations this year, but methinks a national championship is off the table.

Didn't remember that y'all won it last year, congrats on that!

After Texas lost in the superregional, and then my family went on vacation for 2 weeks, I completely checked out on college baseball.

I haven't even looked at who we have coming back.  Over the past few years, it hasn't really mattered.  The team always tends to struggle early, somehow share or split a conference championship but rarely win it outright, put on a decent run through the NCAA tournament, but not really compete for a NC.  I know a lot of folks would be happy with that, but most Texas fans have higher expectations.  It's now been almost 20 years since Texas won the CWS.  It's been 15 since we played in the Finals.  That's just pretty disappointing, honestly.

Augie is probably a hard guy to replace.

Apparently so.

IMO it's time to move on from our current staff.  They're not bad, they're pretty good in fact, but we've seen their peak and it's not good enough.
