[Update 4:56 PM]: Horns take game one 7-5 in a game that wasn't as close as the final score would indicate, until Nebraska threatened in the 9th. Game two start time should be around 6:05 and is allegedly on TV.
Texas travels to Lincoln to take on a struggling Nebraska squad. Texas has had surprisingly good luck on the road in Lincoln the last two visits (4-2) against some really good Nebraska teams, including a 16-inning loss in 2005. Ironically, Nebraska has had a lot of success in Austin the last two visits (4-2). Taking two of three this weekend would be huge as the Horns close with 16 of their last 19 in Austin. Some notes:

Double double-header?
Given the weather forecasts you put up, it appears that Texas is facing two double-headers?
TXinDC - April 10, 2009
Is there any other way to follow the game besides the Husker Live Feed
I cannot get it up at work
future_longhorn_dad - April 10, 2009
Yes!
A video system that doesn’t require Microsoft silverlight! I can actually see the picture

40AS - April 10, 2009
I guess you have to sign up as well
future_longhorn_dad - April 10, 2009
3 Ks for Huskers pitcher already, dang
TXinDC - April 10, 2009
Is there some gamecast or something elsewhere
I just cannot get the video to work
future_longhorn_dad - April 10, 2009
I'm in the same boat
40AS - April 10, 2009
the video worked for me...
I clicked on the link, and then I selected the link for “play now” or something, rather than the “sign up” one. I don’t know if that helps.
hornbone - April 10, 2009

looks like something from the early 90s tho

3-0 Texas through 2
40AS - April 10, 2009
Wow, that was an amazing catch.
I don’t know who made it. Who plays left field?
hornbone - April 10, 2009
Tant, I guess.
hornbone - April 10, 2009
Yup.
Wescott Eberts (GoBR) - April 10, 2009
Great diving play by Shepherd to retire the side.
Moving right on a well-hit ball, had to leave his feet, not quite full extension, but a very nice play, nonetheless.
Wescott Eberts (GoBR) - April 10, 2009
Leadoff walk for Tucker
Good crowd here today :-)
40AS - April 10, 2009
Torres really drove that one, no luck
Looked like a long out at the Disch.
Wescott Eberts (GoBR) - April 10, 2009
One on, one out.
Wescott Eberts (GoBR) - April 10, 2009
Anybody else a Rangers fan?
They’re getting beat by a nifty 14 – 1. I’ll trade that for a nice day by the Horns any day, though.
hornbone - April 10, 2009
They're 3-0
Well…3-1
40AS - April 10, 2009
true
hornbone - April 10, 2009
No, thank God.
Wescott Eberts (GoBR) - April 10, 2009
haha
Don’t blame me, I grew up in Dallas. I got out and haven’t gone back, though.
hornbone - April 10, 2009
No problem with Rangers fans,
as long as you want to subject yourself to that, go right ahead. :)
Wescott Eberts (GoBR) - April 10, 2009
It's a special relationship.
hornbone - April 10, 2009
That stadium just eats pitchers alive
with that rock-hard infield and balls flying out of there every which way. Almost as bad as Coors Field in some ways.
Wescott Eberts (GoBR) - April 10, 2009
Yeah, the jetstream is almost magical.
hornbone - April 10, 2009
Ground out by Belt, Tucker now at third, two down.
Wescott Eberts (GoBR) - April 10, 2009
Almost beat that one out...
hornbone - April 10, 2009
Nice play by the first baseman on a chopper,
Longhorns go down in the top of the third, still 3-0 Texas.
Wescott Eberts (GoBR) - April 10, 2009

Shepherd back at the plate...
TXinDC - April 10, 2009
Shepherd, single that got by the 2nd baseman
TXinDC - April 10, 2009
Yost picks Shepherd off at 1st base, 1 out
TXinDC - April 10, 2009
What was that?
Shepherd picked off easily, didn’t even make it back to the bag.
Wescott Eberts (GoBR) - April 10, 2009
Wow Keyes with a rip for a triple
ball thrown into dugout, error and Keyes scores. 4-0 Texas.
Wescott Eberts (GoBR) - April 10, 2009
is that a triple with an error?
Yes. haha
hornbone - April 10, 2009
Keyes has a sweet swing when he keeps it short.
Wescott Eberts (GoBR) - April 10, 2009
Just heard a fine lady in the crowd starting a Texas Fight chant, very nice.
Wescott Eberts (GoBR) - April 10, 2009
Single up the middle by Loy, first and third, one out.
Wescott Eberts (GoBR) - April 10, 2009
Yost is done for after this
TXinDC - April 10, 2009
Sac fly, Rupp scores on a relatively short fly ball and poor throw, 5-0 Texas.
Wescott Eberts (GoBR) - April 10, 2009
Woohoo, 5-0 looks good
TXinDC - April 10, 2009
This offense seems to have come a long way in the last two weeks.
Wescott Eberts (GoBR) - April 10, 2009
Grounder to Yost by Tucker, inning over, two runs makes it 5-0.
Wescott Eberts (GoBR) - April 10, 2009
Is this burger commercial voiceovered by Matthew McC?
TXinDC - April 10, 2009
2 walks for Ruffin, 2 men on, conference on the mound
hornbone - April 10, 2009
That was one of the worst errors I've ever seen...
5-1 Texas.
hornbone - April 10, 2009
Oooo ugly error... Belt hesistated on throwing to 2nd or to 1st, overthrew his toss to 1st and forced an error - Nebraska scores
TXinDC - April 10, 2009
Stupid play, he should have known when that ball kicked high he had no chance.
Wescott Eberts (GoBR) - April 10, 2009
5-2 after a single
hornbone - April 10, 2009
Double play 6-4-3 leaves a runner on 3rd, but 2 outs

TXinDC - April 10, 2009
Out of the inning...
hornbone - April 10, 2009
Nice play by Loy on a long throw to end the inning.
That could have been worse but that double play was HUGE.
Wescott Eberts (GoBR) - April 10, 2009
Is this going to be the usual doubleheader format...
with the second game coming 30 minutes after the first?
hornbone - April 10, 2009
They said the second game will start no earlier than 6pm
TXinDC - April 10, 2009
Horns don't score in the top half of the 5th...
now 2 gone in the bottom, still 5-2.
hornbone - April 10, 2009
Wow...
One reached on an error, then hit by pitch, then a single plus another error makes it 5-4. And we have 3 errors.
hornbone - April 10, 2009
And Shinaberry comes in.
hornbone - April 10, 2009
Groundout ends the threat.
5-4 through 5.

Keyes singles to lead off the 6th.
hornbone - April 10, 2009

Wild pitch (or passed ball) advances Keyes to 3rd.
hornbone - April 10, 2009
Four hundred fouls later, Loy strikes out looking. 2 down.

hornbone - April 10, 2009
Are they playing a full nine innings
in the first game or is the game shortened due to the double header?
NeTexHorn - April 10, 2009
full game as far as I know
hornbone - April 10, 2009
Yup
Pretty sure it’s full
40AS - April 10, 2009
