I don't think so - the day MD says "Yall " I hope someone gets it on video.

What about "Howdy"?

Actually that's required up there, whether you care or not.

edited to add: By that I mean, you are almost required to say "Howdy" even if you feel like saying "Up yours".

Gross. Anyway, a ton of HR's hit in that game. Lanphear, May and Morgan, its going to be a bad year for the opposing pitchers.

Texas State went 0-5 over the weekend. Holy smokes! Of course, missing 7 players probably had a lot to do with it: especially, the starting SS and 2B. Media reports that Coach suspended the players--two indefinitely. It's been reported that the suspensions weren't due to violations of university or departmental policies but, rather, an issue between a player and coach. Something ain't right. What's going on in Bobcat land?

Bobcats did well when they rode Hall's coat tails for 4 years, it will be rough now that she's gone.

Yep. Rode Blake then Hall, before that Trahan and Neuerburg. They have always had stout pitching. Their pitching isn't at that level this year. They will have to do it with hitting/defense and if rumor is correct, they have taken a huge hit in both departments. If some of those kids don't return, it will be a very rough year for the maroon and gold.....

Any word yet about who won't be returning for TxState.

Info: did you mean to imply something by linking to the statesman article?

Appears 2 may not be back (one lead the team last year in runs, hits, and RBIs), other 5 will return next game. Unfortunate for all involved.

Two articles below may help figure out what happened and who was involved.

Many of us in Centex have heard a little about this and as always in cases involving students and individuals under 21 you will rarely know the whole story. We should know this weekend who shows up for Texas State and that is about the only certain thing we will know. I hope we dont get any speculation here as many times players coaches parents and lawyers need time to sort things out.

Donnie, are you coming up to Austin to see HB play in the near future. Looking forward to seeing Texas struggle with some pitching and batting. I like Texas normally, but not when players I have watched for years come to town.

Agree with Catcherdad- speculation is no good. I hope everything works out alright for everybody involved. Nuff said.

This isn't speculation, it's straight from the article.

“We have two that we let go and five that we suspended for the weekend,” Woodard said.
