I'm leaving for the softball game so no more posts from Gator twitter from me. Gator twitter not providing many updates, probably because they are losing.

I understand no cameras, but don't understand why there are no live stats.

New gator twitter thread to follow:



Lights have gone out and back on for all three indoor courts.

Thanks for the Gator posts!

I am sure that we will eventually hear from Aggie tweets. I hope someone on her posts them since I do not do any of the social networking stuff.

Great start dealing with some very unusual conditions.

Thanks for the update!

Glad Nicole broke the 5-5 tie with a win in that first set !!

My guess is the facility does not have all the hookups for electronic stuff. Gosh, if going to build an indoor facility might as well do it right. Oh well.

At least they have an indoor facility (grumble)

Mary wins 6-3, 6-1. Impressive performance against a great player. She's in GOAT mode.

We could significantly reduce the cost of an indoor facility if we replicated Florida's - only 3 courts, basically no seating, and no electronics. It is nice to have a practice in but not really meant for full competition and certainly not hosting tournaments.

Should we do that now if it reduces the cost by $10M or so or wait to someday do it right?

A lot of phrases fit this perfectly - "If you are going to something, do it right."

Six courts, lots of seats, cameras, full electronic hook ups, etc. - tournament ready !!

I love that you think reducing it by $10m is gonna make it easier to get done. I honestly think if we had a proposal for a 100k indoor, our athletic dept would say no.

That being said, do it right if we do it. 3 courts is as bad as TCU's 5.

Gailis was doing this against Bowers of Texas and was doing it surprisingly well. She won easily 2 and 2.

Wish we could have seen it but I suspect Mary was super aggressive coming to net on those returns

Need to do it right if we're going to do it. New chancellor might want to make a positive early splash if some one put a bug in his ear. Any one have inside info on him?

Looks like Mary saw it and was prepared.

I'm assuming Lulu is up next on Mary's court.

System and athletic dept are totally separate. Doubt he's gonna care at all about indoor tennis courts.

Making an adjustment to an underhand serve can rattle some good players. I remember TAMCC doing that against us as as desperation move in NCAAs last year.

It will eventually happen. When? Who knows. I have a feeling the city of Bryan deal fell thru for a reason. At least I choose to believe that.

I didn't know TCU had 5. I think I would rather have just 3 courts than that.

Have they ever played a match there where it was 3-3 before the final match even started? That would be wild.

Acknowledged. But anything that Sharp wanted done, he made happen, whether or not it was within his purview.

Yeah - just give the updates to a traveling player that isn't playing. Takes 5 seconds to post an update.

Mia's opponent has taken 3 medical timeouts.

most of the time, anyone with social media access doesn't travel on away weekends. the athletic dept doesn't want to use their resources to travel them for a whole weekend. The best our people could do today is retweet what is being posted by florida, but even florida's updates are infrequent

We have athletes there that aren't in the lineup. Give them access to post updates.
