Dylan Campbell might be the best right fielder in Texas history.

While I got ya, here are nine things and one crazy prediction:

D.C. for president: Texas outfielder Dylan Campbell is a flat-out stud and may be the best right fielder in school history. Oh, he's a pretty good hitter, too. I assume he’ll be a first-team All-American. I mean, a 38-game hitting streak, are you kidding me? So impressed with him and how he battled back after his horrendous first month at the plate. His leave-his-feet, airborne catch in the Coral Gables Regional on Friday may be the best outfield catch I’ve ever seen in college. It's now a legendary play. I'm sure I'm forgetting some, but I would put that in my top five of all defensive plays I’ve ever seen in a Longhorns game, including the 2002 College World Series play where third baseman Omar Quintanilla couldn't backhand a tough grounder but retrieved the ball in foul territory and threw out a critical Rice baserunner at home plate, nearly decapitating Owls coach Wayne Graham in the coaching box. With the stakes at hand, Campbell's gem was absolutely spectacular. I do recall when Stanford right fielder John Elway — yeah, that one — had his back against the wall and threw a dart to home plate on the fly. And Cal State Fullerton's Mark Kotsay's fly ball catch next to the left-field fence in foul territory before he whirled to throw home to double up a runner going home. Texas second baseman Bill Bates dropped one fly ball his entire career — unfortunately against Miami in Omaha — but he and shortstop Spike Owen had a jillion gems.

Bring the applause: Big-time clapping for one of the most dominant Longhorns performances in a regional to sweep Louisiana and Miami. Texas hit 8-for-18 with runners in scoring position and needed only five pitchers in three games. You gotta love this team that finishes as the Big 12's top seed, then loses two straight at the conference tournament and then crushes the regional opposition in Miami. … "Lebarron (Johnson) was unbelievable," Texas athletic director Chris Del Conte said. A star is born. … And a big shoutout to closer Zane Morehouse, who has battled command issues and was masterful in the regional at the most clutch time of the season. … As co-chair of the Texas Sports Hall of Fame selection committee, which met Tuesday, I nominated high school coaching legend Todd Dodge for induction. The recently retired Westlake coach won seven state championships with the Chaps and Southlake Carroll and lost two other title games by a point and in overtime. The former Longhorns quarterback, who had a spectacular high school career at Port Arthur Jefferson, is one of the best coaches ever in the state and stepped down at the height of his career. Who cares what he did at North Texas? Craig Way nominated equally deserving right-hander Kirk Dressendorfer, one of the elite of the elite Longhorns pitchers.

Slippery Rock, anyone?: Actually one reader suggested that to me to help out Texas, which needs another nonconference game for the 2024 football season now that the SEC decideded to stick at least temporarily with an eight-game league schedule. Why not the Division II football team from Pennsylvania whose scores Royal-Memorial Stadium public address announcer Wally Pryor used to reveal during Texas games to a huge ovation? It’d get a lot of attention. Hey, it's mandated that every SEC team schedules at least one cupcake. … With a road game at Michigan and a neutral-site game with Oklahoma and an away game at Texas A&M, you can expect a home game with Rice or someone of that ilk. And Texas might have to overpay a school to arrange that game because it's so late in the process. It paid Louisiana $1.7 million in Steve Sarkisian's first game in 2021. The Aggies will shell out $1.6 million each to New Mexico and ULM this fall and $550,000 to Abilene Christian. … Could Texas play a Big 12 team? Del Conte says no, since that 2024 game would be a one-off matchup and that Big 12 team would want a home-and-home series. "It's bad timing," Del Conte said. "We’re doing a lot of fishing. There's not a lot of (available) games out there. It's a problem. But we’ll be in good shape." … Texas and OU each received the full distribution of $44 million from the Big 12 this past athletic year and will again in 2023-24 as well, but they will not get a full share in the first year from the SEC. Del Conte said he wasn't sure of the exact percentage Texas would get even though it would be a full member with voting privileges. … The SEC voted on host sites for its championships through the 2034-35 athletic years, and Texas was awarded sites in six sports: cross-country (2028-29), softball (2033), swimming and diving (2027, 2031, 2035), men's tennis (2029), women's tennis (2031) and outdoor track and field (2034). Oklahoma got sites in four sports, and Texas A&M in eight, including six years of indoor track and three in equestrian. The SEC baseball tournament will remain in Hoover, Ala., next May but could be moved around thereafter. Commissioner Greg Sankey told me "lots of cities" are interested in hosting it, including some in Texas. Would love to see the tournament in Round Rock at Dell Diamond, but there's some sentiment to shift it to a ballpark with a roof to avoid lengthy weather delays. I could see it and the SEC football media days come to the Lone Star state sooner than later just to, you know, poke the Big 12 a little bit and excite the Longhorns and Aggies and nearby Sooners fan bases. … Sankey and a few coaches, including Nick Saban, will go to Washington, D.C., this week to lobby legislators for help with NIL in search of finding a standardized, streamlined rule with guardrails. … Some of us in the media work room were shooting the breeze and thought the glib, smart and sensical Sankey might be a good presidential candidate. Hey, he’d beat Tommy Tuberville. Sankey's press conferences are lively, colorful and informative. And he rarely trips on stage.

NIL is exploding: Texas A&M athletic director Ross Bjork said again in Destin, Fla., that A&M athletes received $10 million in NIL payouts over the last two years, all sports and all genders. Clearly the bulk of that has come in football. Texas said it doesn't have its NIL numbers. "The biggest question has been how much should the universities be involved? And, two years ago, we would say we’re hands off. That's between the market and the individual student-athlete, the individual player," Bjork said. "Now what we’re saying is that the institutions need to be involved. There's too much at stake for the athlete and for the institution where we can't take a hands-off approach. So the state laws that are now being enacted allow us to be more involved. Until there's national uniformity. That's the place it has to be. It lives state by state. I know our commissioner doesn't like that, I think athletic directors don't necessarily like that. But it's the only path way for now until we can get some national uniformity." … I heard one incoming Longhorns freshman has already topped $300,000 in NIL income.

All sped up: The clock change that will keep a running clock after first downs until the final two minutes of the game got little to no reaction in Destin. One coach said he thought it’d reduce game time by seven or eight plays. Another said only two or three. Missouri's Eli Drinkwitz said, "I think it's a big nothing burger." Josh Heupel of Tennessee added that it would have little impact on games. Same for Kirby Smart.

Field safety: The SEC put some teeth into its field-storming fines, basically doubling them with the time for an initial offense climbing from $50,000 to $100,000 and second punishment up to $250,000. A&M used to allow fans onto Kyle Field after games, and Oregon still does, Del Conte said. As a further way to deter this, the money from the SEC penalties now goes to the visiting teams. You think the Aggies would storm the field if they happen to beat the Longhorns at Kyle Field in 2024, knowing they would have to fork over $100,000 to Texas’ coffers? "We’re trying to change behavior," Bjork said. … Just so you know, if Texas and A&M aren't on the 2024 schedule, which will be released by the SEC on June 14, there's no chance those two would play a nonconference game against each other. "I don't think so," Bjork said. "That would be a little weird, wouldn't it?"

No hustle?: Did you see Atlanta's Marcel Ozuna hit a towering shot off the center-field wall for a single Sunday? Say what? Yep, the Atlanta Braves bad boy stood and watched the 415-foot shot off Zac Gallen that was in the air 6.2 seconds forever and was held to a single. Actually, he held himself to a single. I find that inexcusable. I wish the Braves manager would have yanked him off the field immediately, but he at least substituted for him after the inning. … Personally, I love shorter games. It's sure been beneficial for baseball. Its speed-up rules such that so far there have been 77 games shorter than 2 hours, 15 minutes, whereas there were three at this point last season. There were 92 games at this juncture that lasted over 3½ hours and only two this year.

On the couch: Finally got home from Destin, so I could watch the season finale of "Succession." It did not disappoint. I predicted to my wife that all three wouldn't end up on top because that's the only way it could end. Loved the funeral episode and the finale with some outrageously emotional scenes from America's most dysfunctional, mythical family. Could have renamed it "Cutthroats R Us." Thought Kieran Culkin killed it as Roman. I loved how Greg survived because Tom saw much of himself in Grego. This was a series where it was next to impossible to root for any character although I kind of liked Shiv. Was initially surprised she wound up with Tom, but figured she could at least be close to power. One of the best short series ever. Gave it nine ducks. Spinoff? Roman returns?

Crazy prediction: Deion Sanders will not be at Colorado more than three seasons.
