Did John Smoltz just say if the Orioles played the Rangers 10 times they would beat them 9/10?
Get this guy off the air, he’s crying tears that Baltimore isn’t winning. Bro the Rangers are without deGrom or Scherzer and an awful bullpen has stepped up.

It has been two (2) games into the season and (some) UNT fans are waving the white flag and saying they’re not going to games.
OR, alternatively, continue showing support to try and build a better sports culture at the university? Just a thought?

Did not get too into it in my story, but North Texas head coach Ross Hodge heavily emphasized tonight’s attendance and environment at the Super Pit versus SMU should be the standard in Denton, not a one off.
