Your schedule of events for today in Oklahoma City includes Texas' bracket only:
- 3:00 PM: Texas vs. Kansas
- 7:30 PM: Kansas State vs. Baylor
We erroneously reported yesterday that Texas would play K-State in Game Two; that game is actually slated for Saturday.
Since the Big XII uses a ridiculous and asinine round-robin format for the conference tournament, Texas is still very much alive for the tournament title. In order to get there, though, they'll have to accomplish twice what they failed to do even once during the regular season: defeat a team from Kansas. The Longhorns will play the Jayhawks today and the Wildcats on Saturday. Should they win both contests, as long as Baylor loses at least once Texas will advance to Sunday's championship game by virtue of being the highest seed.
Whether it gets them to the chamipnship game or not, though, it is important for Texas to win at least one of the next two. The Longhorns have already earned a top-eight national seed in our eyes, but it would tempt fate indeed to start the postseason with three losses to teams they ought to beat.
Does anyone know...
if the game will be on the web and/or audio today?

Yesterday was just fluky. Baylor pounds us and The Guy Who Wasn’t Adam Lambert won Idol…. er, so I hear…
OK, Thursday will get us back to normal.
And as I type this KU hits a solo HR.

Complete game by Chance Ruffin. After yesterday’s disaster we needed that.
40AS - May 21, 2009
So the ball that got away from Rupp was scored a wild pitch?
NeTexHorn - May 21, 2009
It was scored a passed ball
But I’m guessing that since the next hitter flied to center and there were no outs the run was counted as earned. Can’t confirm though.
40AS - May 21, 2009
Ahh ok.
Sounds like Ruffin had a nice game either way. If Texas makes it to Sunday, would Ruffin get the start again or would one of the other guys get the start with Ruffin possibly coming out of the pen?
NeTexHorn - May 21, 2009
I doubt he'll pitch again this week
Just because the Big XII championship doesn’t really mean anything. I’d like to see Dicharry get some extended innings when it doesn’t matter.
40AS - May 21, 2009
True.
Didn’t think about it in grand scheme terms. The more important games would be the regional and hopefully super regionals
