Texas Tech Fans Clown ESPN Softball Analyst for Picking Texas to Win National Championship

Texas Longhorns outfielder Ashton Maloney (7) watches the batter during the NCAA D1 Softball Tournament Regional against UCF at Red and Charline McCombs Field on Sunday, May 18, 2025 in Austin, Texas.

One of the best aspects of college athletics is rivalries, and that’s what’s going down in the 2025 Softball National Championship between Texas Tech and Texas.

The series is tied up at one a piece, but before the Red Raiders and Longhorns face off in Game Three, one particular ESPN analyst gave her pick for the series in a unique way.

 

ESPN’s Haylie McCleney gave her pick for Texas to win the National Championship in true Shannon Sharpe “Lakers in five” fashion, saying, “Million dollar arm, a little Texas charm, Red Raiders, disarmed. Texas in three.”

Understandably, it didn’t land very well with those in Lubbock, and here were some reactions to the situation on social media.
