Paarl Boys' High School (Boishaai) School Profile
Paarl Boys' High profile
Hoër Jongenskool Paarl (also known as Boishaai, Paarl Boys', BHS or HJS) is one of the oldest schools in South Africa. Built in 1868 the school's rich history is filled with tradition and pride. The first building to house the school was a granary on Zeederbergplein, the owner of which was Mr. D. Beyers (a close friend to the first headmaster, Rev. Jeffreys). The first years of the school were unstable ones, with the school increasing in size every year, larger facilities were required frequently. The grounds on which the school stands today were originally formed part of the farm Berlyn owned by Mr. P.J Malherbe.
Paarl Boys' High has featured in the academic merit list of the Western Cape for ten years running and has been featuring in the top ten for the duration as well, making it one of the top academic schools in the province. The school is bilingual, with classes in English and Afrikaans and has maintained a 100% pass rate for over a decade.
Boishaai can be seen primarily, as a boarding institution. The erection of the first hostel, Monte Bello, in 1901 can be seen as the one of the greatest turning points in the history of the school. This event inaugurated the change from a small school in a small farming community to a school to be esteemed nationally. In 2012 the four hostels, Bellevue, Imhoff, Monte Bello and Werda, house over 400 learners from all parts of South Africa and from abroad.
Good conduct, good scholarship and good sportsmanship reflect the school's proud tradition which spans over 143 years. Throughout Southern Africa, Paarl Boys' High has always been regarded as a school with an unblemished record when it comes to producing men as well as leaders who have excelled in all walks of life. As a centre of excellence it is the school's mission to create an environment in which every boy can reach his full potential in the academic, cultural and sporting field.
Rugby at Boishaai
Rugby is an integral part of the Paarl Boys' way of life. It helps in educating the boys and growing the gentlemen Paarl Boys' High is known to raise. It is important to win, but that should not be the primary objective. A sportsman may never be abused to ensure the success of a team. The primary objective at Boys' High must be one of enjoyment, for both player and coach. Whereas we agree with the legendary Vince Lombardi when he said: ''Winning isn't everything; it's the only thing'' we hold winning to be more than just points on the board. Winning relates to the values, commitment and the pursuit of the best of one's abilities.
Boishaai has produced 19 players that have represented South Africa since 1906. They have provided some of the legends and most famous Springbok rugby players ever to have played in the Green and Gold. Players like Oom "Boy" and Fanie Louw, Piet "Spiere" du Toit, Mannetjies Roux, Ryk van Schoor, Carel Du Plessis and Corné Krige.

Carel du Plessis' son (Jean-Luc) is playing flyhalf for the 2012 1st XV.

Received a "folder access denied" warning after wanting to delete a folder so I needed to change permissions on a folder. Changed it to - for example: "username (username-PC\username)". That was the "username" I was currently logged in as but strangely received the same exact "folder access denied" even though I had "permissions" on that folder.
It can be some application that has a lock on the folder. Download and install Unlocker Right click on the folder and click the unlocker menu item. There is a delete file option on the main screen.
Else you can use SysInternals Process Explorer to see which application has locked the folder.
EDIT: I recently came to know that Unlocker sometimes does not detect locks on folders by applications. Instead try runs the commandline tool Handles from SysInternals. This tool will also allow you to closing an open handle. (Caution: Closing an open handle MAY cause a system crash in some cases.)
You say you took ownership of the folder; did you also change the permissions? Being the owner does not in and of itself allow access to a file or folder, although it does allow you to read and set the permissions.
(Note that under some but not all circumstances the GUI will change permissions automatically when you take ownership of a file/folder.)

Quote:med, in your opinion, is this good or bad practice? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fd5LG2xw-FU
Quote:I think that's where we disagree. I don't think these drills manage to spoon feed very well at all. There are training methods to teach newbies to defend themselves without using these 'one-step' methods...not only that, but they learn faster by NOT using these roundabout ways of training. how do you explain that?
Quote: I hope that these black belts are attempting to show a basic drill for beginners and not an advanced form of training that drill. (And) Ed, you are right here, these types of drills are not the proper way to teach real defense against striking.
Quote:EdI think you have to start somewhere.
Quote:Watching newbies learn to "block" and punch and learn footwork in boxing looks pretty awkward too.The problem however is where/when people never get past the "training wheels" stage...IMO.
Quote:As far as the youtube thing.....IMO its worth kinda depends on what the people doing it are getting out of it...how they understand what they are doing......IMO for a onlooker to decide if its "good or bad" is almost impossible.
Quote:I can't tell if they are mentally "locked" into a pattern or if they can pull those technqiues out and use them when and where they are needed.Wish I had a better answer to your question....but I just don't know.
Quote:Quote:med, in your opinion, is this good or bad practice? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fd5LG2xw-FU My unqualified opinion.Good practice for introducing blocks, stances and punches.I think this is going back to Itosu's ideas of teaching. I think the techniques were hidden in the use of basic blocks.
Quote:Bad practice for working out the real applications and use subject to a real fight. Getting around the hidden meanings of blocks. I can see medulants point on skill building.Shouldnt it be block and simutanously strike?
Quote:I can also see his point on having the ability to break bones using blocks. I have never broken anybodies bones using blocks as blocks but I have damaged a persons forearm tissue using my forearm when intercepting a punch.
Quote:Ditto with the shoulder. Damaged the guys shoulder tissuebut didint break any bones. I think some one with a higher skill level than mine could achieve breakage in bones.
Quote:Soto uke springs to mind. If a persons wrist is grabbed and the elbow area is hammered using soto uke means one damaged elbow.The knees can be used as blocks. They can also be used as a point to lever an elbow break.
Quote:The top of the head can be used to break the knuckles.
Quote:So I believe Medulant when he says bones can be brokenusing blocks.Jude

- Also On: PC, PlayStation 2, Xbox 360
- Summary: The golden age of console hockey returns with NHL 07, featuring gameplay innovations that make players feel like they are actually on the ice. Featuring an unmatched level of freedom and control, NHL 07 allows hockey purists and casual fans alike to feel like they can play like a pro.

Mixed: 5 out of 14
Negative: 0 out of 14
For those who do have NHL 06, the tweaks to the controls are well worth the price of admission to the next step in this what will be viewed as a storied franchise.
The controls are tight, especially shooting. We would like to see the checking system tweaked a bit so players aren't so magnetic. Great puck physics make for exciting, organic goal scoring.
Official Xbox Magazine UKDespite slightly tweaked controls and a few other improvements over "06," it's still the same - for ice hockey fans only. [Nov 2006, p.70]
Pelit (Finland)Too flawed to be enjoyable. The AI cheats mercilessly, and scoring goals is not much fun, since you can score all of them with just one trick. The vastly different players are nice, though. [Sept 2006]
Perhaps unsurprisingly, the versions of NHL 07 not made for the next generation of consoles offer little in the way of new content.
There still are no leagues and at this point in time, that is just plain silly. The gameplay itself when online works well without significant lag.
Score distribution:
Positive: 1 out of 3
Mixed: 1 out of 3
Negative: 1 out of 3
Sep 21, 2011this is the best sports game I ever played ever. I love it and it rocks. Why don't people love it?
AlexO.Sep 18, 2006It's the usual story with this franchise. Good presentation and graphics, but poor gameplay. I don't really get why they can't It's the usual story with this franchise. Good presentation and graphics, but poor gameplay. I don't really get why they can't get it right after so many releases. This year the goalies can't save much of anything - 8 games into the season and my kiprusoff has a 71% save percentage and is 6-2. Although I think the goalie ai is improved from previous years in that the goal variety is mildly improved and I don't think they cheat like previous years. But there still aren't any deflection goals unless it's a super fluke. It could also use more rebound goals. There isn't a slider to adjust how good the goalies play this year either which is pretty annoying. When a penalty is called now, 90% of the time it's for high sticking. It's cool that the offenses actually happen, but they could have played this game for about 10 minutes and seen the number of high sticking penalties was ridiculous. There are a lot of things I could single out as major faults in the gameplay. Just know that this is an arcade type game that looks like it should be a sim. NHL Hitz is a way better arcade game, and 2k7 is a better sim. Overall NHL 07 is such a waste of good graphics and presentation.… Collapse
JaromirJ.Dec 16, 2006The game has good graphics, but it's very hard to play. Where's the turbo button!!!!!!

Easy Spanakopita (Greek Spinach and Feta Pie)
Total Time
Prep 10 mins
Cook 35 mins
This is much easier than having to layer phyllo dough and the puff pastry is far more yummy in my opinion. My kids devour this and it's a great way to get those veggies in.
Ingredients Nutrition
- 2 sheets puff pastry
- 1 (10 ounce) box frozen chopped spinach (thawed and squeezed to remove all liquid)
- 3 eggs
- 1 1⁄2 cups cottage cheese
- 1⁄2 lb feta cheese (crumbled)
- 1⁄2 teaspoon pepper
- 1⁄4 teaspoon dried dill
- nonstick cooking spray
- egg wash (optional)
- Preheat oven to 400°F
- Gently roll out each sheet of puff pastry to the size of your pan (approximately 9 x 13). Spray pan with spray and place the first sheet of pastry.
- Making sure that all the liquid has been squeezed and drained from the spinach, mix spinach with the feta, cottage cheese, eggs, pepper and dill. Spread mixture in pan.
- Top mixture with second sheet of pastry and brush with egg wash (optional).
- Bake till golden brown, approximately 35 minutes.
Most Helpful
Spanakopita is one of my favorite things to eat. I used two pie crusts. The refridge kind and just rolled them out. One on bottom and topped with the other. Your filling is right on. Delicious!
My family loved this. Super easy, tasty and quick to throw together. We didn't miss the phyllo either. Will definitely be making this part of our regular rotation.

We just got back from skiing in Chamonix and would rate it very highly for intermediate to expert skiers. We rented an apartment in Argentaire which is right at Grand Montets which most rate as the best area at Chamonix. I would stay there again or in downtown Chamonix. I would avoid Les Houches as a place to stay as the skiing there is not included on the unlimited ticket and it is down the valley and not as attractive as Argentaire.
We skied all the areas included Courmayer except the Valley Blanche in four days. There seems to be a bias towards Grand Montets but we liked starting in Brevent and working our way over to Flagare and back in a day just as much. The south facing slopes at Brevent wear out faster but we had lots of snow and great sun this past weekend. The unlimited ticket gets you reduced tolls to Courmayer which worked out great as it was snowing like crazy in Cham and sunny on the other side of the Mt Blanc at Courmayer. We also used the unlimited ticket to go up to Aguille du Mide which was well worth the hour and a half first thing in the morning for great picture taking. Next time we will do the Valley Blanche just for the bragging rights.
If you will cook and have a car the Carrafoure hypermarche in Sallanche on the way up from Geneva is a great place to stock up on great food. In town Chambre Neuf is a great apre ski bar for music and a jam packed crowd of skiers. We have skied Kitzbuhel, Zermatt, Grindelwald, Sass Fee and many US and Canadian areas and Chamonix rates highest in our view.

Increased export of biologically available nitrogen (N) to the coastal zone is strongly linked to eutrophication, which is a major problem in coastal marine ecosystems (NRC (2000) Clean Coastal Waters: Understanding and Reducing the Effects of Nutrient Pollution. National Academy Press, Washington, DC; Bricker et al. (1999) National Estuarine Eutrophication Assessment. Effects of nutrient enrichment in the nation's estuaries. NOAA-NOS Special Projects Office, Silver Spring, MD). However, not all of the nitrogen input to a watershed is exported to the coast (Howarth et al. (1996) Biogeochemistry 35:75–139; Jordan and Weller (1996) Bioscience 46:655–664). Global estimates of nitrogen export to coasts have been taken to be 25% of watershed input, based largely on northeastern U.S. observations (Galloway et al. (2004) Biogeochemistry 70:153–226; Boyer et al. (2006) Global Biogeochem Cycle 20:Art. No. GB1S91). We applied the N budgeting methodology developed for the International SCOPE Nitrogen project (Howarth et al. (1996) Biogeochemistry 35:75–139; Boyer et al. (2002) Biogeochemistry 57:137–169) to 12 watersheds in the southeastern U.S., and compared them with estimates of N export for 16 watersheds in the northeastern U.S. (Boyer et al. (2002) Biogeochemistry 57:137–169). In southeastern watersheds, average N export was only 9% of input, suggesting the need for downward revision of global estimates. The difference between northern and southern watersheds is not a function of the absolute value of N inputs, which spanned a comparable range and were positively related to export in both cases. Rather, the proportion of N exported was significantly related to average watershed temperature (% N export = 58.41 e−0.11 * temperature; R 2 = 0.76), with lower proportionate nitrogen export in warmer watersheds. In addition, we identified a threshold in proportionate N export at 38°N latitude that corresponds to a reported breakpoint in the rate of denitrification at 10–12°C. We hypothesize that temperature, by regulating denitrification, results in increased proportionate N export at higher latitudes. Regardless of the mechanism, these observations suggest that temperature increases associated with future climate change may well reduce the amount of nitrogen that reaches estuaries, which will have implications for coastal eutrophication.

|Botanist and zoologist
Martin Henrichsen Vahl (October 10, 1749 – December 24, 1804) was a Danish-Norwegian botanist and zoologist.
He studied botany in Copenhagen and in Uppsala under Carolus Linnaeus. He edited Flora Danica fasc. XVI-XXI (1787-1799), Symbolæ Botanicæ I-III (1790-1794), Eclogæ Americanæ I-IV (1796-1807) and Enumeratio Plantarum I-II (1804-1805). He lectured at the University of Copenhagen Botanical Garden from 1779 to 1782.
Vahl made several research trips in Europe and North Africa between 1783 and 1788. He became professor at the Society for Natural History in Copenhagen in 1786 and was a full professor of botany at the University of Copenhagen from 1801 to his death. In 1792, he was elected a foreign member of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences.
His son Jens Vahl also became a botanist.
Martin Henrichsen Vahl was born in Bergen, Norway and died in Copenhagen, Denmark at age 55.

Use Caution With Closed-End Funds
Closed-end funds, which took a drubbing during the financial crisis, have been making a modest comeback.
Total assets rose 1.7% to $239 billion last year, though they remain well below the precrisis record of $313 billion, set in 2007, according to the Investment Company Institute.
There's no mystery why some investors are willing to give closed-end funds another chance. In a world where interest rates are hovering at record lows, closed-end funds are one of the few asset classes where one can find a tempting yield.
The average distribution rate for these funds—which issue a fixed number of shares that trade on an exchange, like stocks—is 7.1%, according to Morningstar.
"Closed-end funds can be an excellent way to generate income," which is "the Holy Grail for retirees," says Cara Esser, a closed-end fund analyst at Morningstar.
But Ms. Esser warns that closed-end funds can be "risky" and should account for a relatively small percentage of a portfolio—certainly no more than 25%, and for most, much less.
For investors willing to give closed-end funds a try, there are some things they must know—including how these funds operate, and how that operation influences the way they trade.
Unlike mutual funds, which are traded at the end of the trading day, closed-end funds can be bought at will, like stocks. Sponsors issue a limited number of shares, and authorize follow-up offerings, to keep up with demand. When ready to sell, investors must find a buyer in the secondary market.
The fund itself rarely has to sell underlying assets to meet the demand for redemptions. That freedom allows closed-end funds to invest in less-liquid markets, such as municipal bonds and emerging-market securities, says Ms. Esser, adding that about 250 of the 630 closed-end funds in the U.S. are focused on muni bonds. Due to their relatively small size—the average closed-end fund has $300 million to $400 million in assets, according to Ms. Esser—they can get in and out of illiquid markets faster than larger investment vehicles.
That structure shapes the trading of closed-end funds in several ways:
Price vs. net asset value. There's a difference between the fund's net asset value, which reflects its underling holdings, and the share price of the fund itself. Those premiums and discounts to NAV can work both for and against investors—depending on whether they are buying or selling at any given moment.
"Ten years ago, I saw premiums and discounts to net asset value as wide as 20%," says Christopher Begg, an adjunct professor at Columbia Business School and chief investment officer of East Coast Asset Management. Though those discounts and premiums have been reduced, he says, they still exist.
In some cases, share prices "have nothing to do" with NAV, Mr. Begg says. Instead, they reflect demand for a particular fund, which can be influenced by the reputation of the portfolio manager and other considerations not directly linked to the underlying assets.
"Closed-end funds can be an interesting source of income, especially when you can buy them at a discount to net asset value," says Mr. Begg. His firm, which manages $500 million in assets, doesn't currently include any closed-end funds, however.
The risk, he says, is that when an investor is ready to sell, the share price of the fund may be trading at a discount to the NAV.
Leverage. Closed-end funds also can make use of leverage, or debt. By law, closed-end funds can borrow between two and three dollars for every dollar in equity—amplifying their returns when bets go well, but compounding their problems when investments go bad.
Income Quality.The income closed-end funds report reflects many things—from the dividends and interest of its underlying assets to one-time boosts like capital gains taken when they sell those assets.
Ms. Esser says funds report the composition of their income, and investors should pay close attention. Funds that count on one-time boosts such as capital gains to support distributions are suspect, she says.
Ms. Esser likes the Virtus Total Return Fund (DCA). The fund, which operated under a different name until last year, lost a lot of money in 2007 and 2008. But it brought in a new adviser, Virtus Investment Advisers, which narrowed the fund's discount to its NAV to 9.5% from 13%.
The fund cut its distribution rate in half to 7.5%, in line with peers, because it stopped counting some income, such as capital gains, toward the payout. The distribution now comes entirely from earned income.
"Closed-end funds whose distributions reflect the earned income of their underlying holdings tend to generate more sustainable returns," Ms. Esser says.

text: Posted October 20, 2013 You ask me what the fug I'm talking about and then post this nonsense. Nobody is suggesting to cut anybody or just call dive play, that's just plain retarded. I think most people would agree that the best teams are balanced teams, you need both a productive O and D. I don't think its a good idea to be building your roster strictly leaning to one particular side. But are you telling me the Bucs, Pitt, Ravens, NE and GB didn't have great defenses when they won the SB? Even those that weren't statistically great stepped up and made the plays in the big game defensively. NO picked off Manning to win, The Colts picked off Cutler to win (Peyton threw 1 TD pass that game) the Ravens stopped SF on a goal line stand to win last year, the first time around they were the #1 D, Pitt had like the #1 D and #3 D when they won. The 3 SB's the Pats won, their D was ranked 6th, 1st (against us) and 2nd. The Bucs had the #1 D. Packers had the #2 D. Even the Giants who weren't great statistacally had a great Dline to pressure Brady, they were like his nemesis. No other team was built to beat NE like the Giants were. The cliché Defense wins championships carries a lot of merit. Hell, the years we got to NFCCG's we had good D's (2nd, 10th and 5th). Keep summing up every superbowl to one defensive play, and keep cherry picking stats to try and prove a point, but understand that anybody that has a clue can obviously tell that you have no idea what you're talking about. You completely ignore offensive accomplishments in the superbowl like Drew Brees' 82% completion rate or Joe Flacco's 3 touchdown passes in the last one, while chest thumping about defensive plays that would've been moot if it weren't for the offense's ability to put points on the board. But, by all means, continue commentating. Tell me more about the Indy defense shutting down Rex Cutler Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It\'s Johnny Wadd!
It's unclear whether director Bob Chinn shot the "Introducing Seka" scene first and then she wasn't available for the rest of this movie, or (more likely) she came in as an afterthought once the main feature was done. In either case, though she's featured prominently on the box, Seka has nothing to do with the plot of this film, and while her opening masturbation and closing boy/girl with John Holmes (both obviously part of the same scene) are good, it's not enough to raise our current rating of this "Johnny Wadd" potboiler. Reviewers at the time of release, however, undoubtedly would have rated it higher.
"Blonde Fire" refers to a large diamond that Holmes has been commissioned to fly to South Africa, pay for and bring home, getting involved in five sex scenes along the way, with babes like Kitty Shayne, Phaery Burd and Jesie St. James. Each of the scenes is short, often with just one sexual position beyond the b.j./pussy-eating, and it's unclear how much of this, if any, was actually shot in South Africa. Holmes is more in character here than in other Wadd films, and certainly near his sexual best, but overall, Blonde Fire hasn't well withstood the test of time.

- Hi I'm Rob Garrott, and I'd like to welcome you to Cinema 4D, Creating a Promo. In this course, I'm gonna show you how to create a 15 second network promo that looks and feels like something you'd see on the screen in your living room. We'll be using Cinema 4D, along with After Effects, Photoshop, and Illustrator to put together an entire commercial for an imaginary network called the Adventure Channel. I'll show you the entire creative process, from concept sketch and script, all the way through the finished product. We'll explore timing out animation using rough sketches and time code to understand how long each of your shots should be.
Then we'll use the modeling, texturing, and animation tools inside of Cinema 4D to create a shark and bring it to life. Using Cinema 4D and After Effects, I'll show you how to create and render a convincing underwater scene. This course is intended for artists that have completed the essential training series for After Effects in Cinema 4D, or are already experienced with these two important applications. I've been an art director, designer, animator, and editor in the entertainment industry for more than 15 years, and I'm really excited to be able to share these unique storytelling techniques with you. Now let's get started with Cinema 4D Creating a Promo.

I've downloaded the plugin and inadvertently chose Basic instead of Advanced when this screen first showed up.
I'm trying to figure out how to have the Advanced Setting instead of the Basic.
I've tried deactivating and deleting the plugin and then reinstalling it but I no longer get that first screen which allows you to choose Basic, Advanced or Publisher. It goes straight to the Basic screen.
How can I get the option back of choosing the Advanced or Publisher?

BankSA too scared to pull pin on Samra business
- From: The Advertiser
- November 13, 2012
IN THE dying days of Michael Samra's alleged $70 million Ponzi scheme, BankSA feared "the whole (Samra) house would come down" if it dishonoured any of his cheques, the Federal Magistrates' Court has heard.
Counsel for Mr Samra's bankruptcy trustee, Dick Whitington, suggested BankSA found itself in a situation where any decision to end its financing of Mr Samra's business would result in its collapse, with the bank wearing the loss. Mr Samra's ALC Group collapsed in August 2009 owing more than $70 million.
His bankruptcy trustee, BRI Ferrier's Nick Cooper, is now trying to track down any funds that could be found and paid to Mr Samra's creditors.
That search last week led back to BankSA, which financed Mr Samra's lending business.
Registrar Katrina Bochner heard there was rising frustration among the bank's lending and credit control departments as Mr Samra's indebtedness - and overdraft excesses - grew.
Mr Whitington suggested to retired BankSA lending manager Robert Sporton they grew to a point where the bank was too scared to pull the pin.
"It was not in the bank's interest to tolerate excesses in the order of hundreds of thousands of dollars then dishonour cheques so that, practically, Mr Samra lost his credibility and could raise no more funds to meet the overdraft," Mr Whitington said in court.
Mr Sporton said "It's true" but said it was in the bank's interest "to see the account paid on time as much as it could". He didn't see the need to review Mr Samra's business or loan book because "we're dealing with Michael Samra", he said.
"I just looked at Michael Samra and his ability to repay."
The Court heard there were many occasions when Mr Samra would bank a cheque as payment but then write even more cheques within hours and before the deposit had been cleared.
Emails read to the Court showed at one point it approved a higher limit that was breached within hours.
Mr Sporton said he believed these problems were simply "timing issues".
An email from the bank's credit area tendered to the Court claimed Mr Samra exceeded his limits 298 days in just one year, and the amounts were growing.
"Despite being advised back in February 2008 the limits must now be respected, the customer continues to do as he wishes and shows no regard for arrangements in place, but has managed to take this to a new level in recent days," the credit inspection email noted.
Further emails showed Mr Samra's business had $3.26 million worth of cheques dishonoured, and required 510 transactions to be specially authorised to avoid being dishonoured - almost two every business day.
By February 2009, Mr Samra's overdraft was $1.456 million, almost double its limit.
BankSA said in a statement it disagreed with The Advertiser's "interpretation of the effect of the evidence given by Mr Sporton" and did not answer questions about whether it had changed its credit practices in light of the collapse of Mr Samra's business.

Welcome everyone to the first day of the Big 12 Championships live from RedHawks Field at Bricktown in Oklahoma City.
Texas Tech is getting set to take on Texas A&M at 4 p.m. in the first round of the tournament. It's already been an eventful day here as top-seed Texas just fell to eight-seed Missouri 6-4, and prior to that No. 5 seed Baylor lost to No. 4 Oklahoma State.
We're doing this a bit early as it's a rotation seating deal here in the press box.
Welcome back one and all for the third and final game of this weekend's Big 12 Conference series between Texas Tech and No. 6 Texas A&M.
I feel this game is crucial to Tech's postseason hopes. A win here gets them to 6-6 and keeps them in the top half of the league.
Welcome back one and all to Dan Law Field for Game 2 of this weekend's Big 12 Conference series between No. 6 Texas A&M and Texas Tech.
The series got off to a thrilling start as Tech outlasted A&M 4-3 in 12 innings Friday night. Today should be a good game as well, though with a 30 mph wind and gusts to 40 we could see a few more balls leave the yard.
Here are today's starting lineups:TEXAS A&M (22-8, 7-3 in Big 12)1. Tyler Naquin, RF2. Krey Bratsen, CF3. Jacob House, 1B4. Matt Juengel, DH5. Kenny Jackson, SS6. Charlie Curl, 2B7.
Welcome everybody to the series of the weekend in the Big 12 Conference as Texas Tech tries to get back in gear in the league after being swept last weekend at Oklahoma.
Unfortunately, the best team in the conference to this point, No. 6 Texas A&M, stands in the way with the best pitching staff in the nation. Tech has a tall task trying to solve fireballing right hander John Stilson, who is 2-1 with a 1.45 ERA. He has struck out 53 in just under 50 innings of work.
Tech counters with freshman right-hander David Paiz, who was rocked last week in Norman.
By this time next season, another Big 12 school will have made major improvements to an existing on-campus baseball park or have built something brand new.
Counting Nebraska (which we still will), that will mean eight of the 10 baseball-playing schools will have spent millions of dollars to build a state-of-the-art facility. Not just a new clubhouse or a scoreboard, but something upon which a spotlight can be shown in attracting recruits.
Eight of 10 -- and Texas Tech is not one of them.
As we reported about a week ago, former Nebraska and Kansas State coach Andy Sawyers has joined the Texas A&M baseball staff as associated head coach.
Head coach Rob Childress announced the hiring today as Sawyers, who was a volunteer assistant for the Aggies in 2008, returns to coach hitters and catchers.
Sawyers has an impressive resume, having tutored five Big 12 Players of the Year -- Matt Hopper (2002) and Alex Gordon (2004 and 2005) at Nebraska, Jose Duran (2008) at A&M and Kansas State's Nick Martini in 2010.
