No time to post much between work and taking care of my dad - barely get a workout in and haven't played tennis in over a month.
Way behind - just wanted to say hi to the LAC Fam and keep the faith/hold the line!

Oh yea here's a little something for you shit-talkers and womens basketball fans!
Now, about that #1 ranking. This is going to be controversial, but I absolutely hate it. Do I think the team has earned it and deserves it? ABSOLUTELY. Let me be clear, to this point, there are very few if any teams that can put their resume next to Texas and say that they deserve it more. Do the Horns lead the nation in the sexy categories like home runs, triples, most runs batted in or slugging percentage? No, they do not.
The Horns are #2 in the nation in ERA, they are tied for first with 11 Quadrant 1 wins. They have yet to lose a series in non-conference or SEC play, and they suffered their first true road loss of the season this past weekend at Kentucky.
So yes, I do think the team has earned the right to be #1 in the nation. That said, I hate that the team is ranked #1 because it puts an even larger target on their backs and provides a little more motivation to opposing staffs.
At the end of the day though. I have full faith in the coaching staff to ensure that the Horns mentally are not looking at the rankings the same way that they don’t look to the scoreboard to define themselves. Play to the STANDARD, the Texas standard and let things sort themselves out.
