Burnt Orange Nation

Horns v. Cajuns Game Three Open Thread

One way or another college baseball is going to end tonight. Hopefully it's with a victory and national title, but a loss sould do little to dampen the memory of this incredible run. For Texas fans it should be a familiar story. The opponent has its best on the mound versus a very good Longhorns pitcher.

Ranaudo's numbers the last 6 starts:

MSU 7.1 6 H 4 ER
Bama 7.1 4 H 4 ER
Baylor 9 3 H 2 ER
Rice 7.2 5 H 5 ER
UVA 3.1 5  H 2 ER (left with bases loaded, 1 out)
Ark 6 IP 4 H 0 ER

What should this tell us? He's a guy that's going to eat up innings, he's not going to give up a ton of hits, he may give up some runs but he's probably not going to get shelled. At 6'7" Ranaudo is probably the most physically imposing pitcher the Horns have seen this postseason. His numbers on the year (2.87 ERA, 14 homers given up, opponents hitting .202, 155 Ks in 119 innings, 45 BBs) tell us he strikes out a lot and can give up the walk and homer.

The first two or three innings are going to tell us a lot. Can Texas grab an early lead and put the full pressure on LSU's hitters? Cole Green running into early trouble has been usually indicative of a rough start, but he has been a different pitcher the last month of the season.

You know the storylines, you know the announcers will be wearing their purple and gold. Hopefully tonight ends with a burnt orange dogpile.

Play ball!

Let’s go out and show our stuff.

Getting the first lead will be nice

Before this series, what was LSU, something like 11-10 when they didn’t score first? In Game 1, while trailing most of the game, they struck first. In Game 2, we did, and never relinquished it. Hopefully, we can whack a homer off this guy early and make LSU play from behind against our pitchers.

Cole Green running into early trouble has been usually indicative of a rough start, but he has been a different pitcher the last month of the season.

How much of a different pitcher has he been? His overall stat line that they showed at the end of the game last night was (not significantly) weaker than Ranaudo – I’m just looking for another confident performance from our starting pitcher.

Good question

His postseason numbers since the regional (4 starts):

Army — 7 IP, 4 hits, 1 R
TCU — 7.2 IP, 6 hits, 3 R
USM — 7 IP, 6 hits, 3 R
ASU — 6 IP, 8 hits, 2 R

Gotta love it!!!

Actually playing out the season and the championship on the field. I can’t wait for tonight.

Pitchers can have better or worse nights. I want error free defense!

Is that too much to ask?

Hook’em Horns

I agree.

Is Carl Reese coaching the defense all of a sudden?!

My neighbors invited my wife and I over for a dinner party tonight.

I respectfully told them to go to hell!

Dont they know the ramifications of what is happening tonight?!?!?!
Like a Wedding in October

It’s just plain rude to even bring up shit like that

Texas-OU last year

Long story, but we ended up in Nantucket on Texas-OU day. We went into this sports bar and yelled our heads off for 3 hours in front of these two slightly pissed Clemson fans and a wait staff we had to keep tipping.

Yeah my daughter wanted a ride somewhere. Church I think.

Yeah right!

Lasernets TV

Probably here
Hook ’em in Omaha!

Heading over to Posse now

Hook ’em.

EH!

Their actually wearing neutral collored shirts/ties

Dont worry

If Orels there, hes got on purple boxers

ESPN360 says Comcast will be picking it up

After August 1st…great timing.

Off to the bar with txtwstr7. The one we went to last night, not Monday’s bar.

checking in!

Let’s go Horns! Hook’Em!

It's hot as hell outside....

but I’m wearing my 2005 Rose Bowl sweatshirt…from the Michigan win. Same as the MNC game a year later. Same as last night. Givin’ all the mojo I can.

Hook ’em

good choice

Hook’em

We've got this

this is our time

I know it hasn't started yet but

ESPN is chatting about TWEETS!

Watching the game in Perdido Key Fla with too many LSU fans. Let's do this guys. Hook 'em!!
Back at work

Lets do this Horns!
Hook em!

whites?
you know it

Didnt wash my clothes at all actually. The guys at the station dont give a damn. Even though they went to A&M for the fire academy, they effing hate LSU

Greatness in Omaha: Shoulda said "DESTINY"
Is that a burnt orange tie Ventura is wearing? Awesome.
He's just trying to make amends with Nolan Ryan
and he is talking about jungmann?

he’s come over to the good side?

Is he pronouncing Jungmanns name right?

I was listening to ESPN radio earlier here in dallas and they kept calling him Jungmann with a “J”

Wow

ANOTHER reference to Cole’s life threatening injury

I want to see the Air Force fly over in the stadium now...
home or away?
home baby
right the F on!

Even though both wins were visitors, I still WANT that last bat

Yeah, I feel much better about it

Monday was a fluke

Who will be the today's hero?

btw: congrats for the soccer’s victory.

How mad is Spain right now?
A lot. we didnt expect this loss, I think it was a surprise for you too.
We were very suprised

I was completely expecting Spain to come charging out in the 2nd and do some damage.

US played a perfect match

The loss is a bad thing but I think we are still the best .

Best two outta three

would go to spain

Hey at the end of the day we're all Longhorns
That's the idea

I dont wanna lose two times in a day….

Hook’ em!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The beads are so lame
I was afraid coach pasta was going to flash them for the beads
Except when they're hanging off a shirtless Mardi Gras babe on Bourbon. nt.
Wow...horns down

Thats so….Oklahoma. Do they have a hand sign?

Tiger Claw?

prolly to much like the baylor bear sign

I still think it is the rigid middle finger
TCU froggish as well maybe?
Ockhinko in the Clean-up tonite
two pitches one out
I'm deeming you

the Official Pitch Count Guru

weird catch by Keyes

Cole needs to get the ball down

He caught it, yeah!
TTTTTTTTTEEEEEEEEXXXXXXXXXXXAAAAAAAAAAAASSSSSSSSSSSS
FFFFIIIIIIIGHHHHHTTTTTTT
that wasnt good enough
FFFFFFFFFFFFFFIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHTTTTTTTTTTT
Green gets the K
I hope Cole hit the IV early today. 93 degree heat index. Probably over 100 on the field.
Glad the US won

but I’m stuck at work listening to the game since I took a looong lunch.

Let’s make it two for two!

stuck him out. Two down
that hit him?

I dont think so

ok...well maybe it did
WTF, Come on
details
do you not have a feed?
cant access anythign up at work

have to rely on this and gametracker, which is way behind

Aw man, I'm sorry

2 on, 2 out. Runners on 1st and Second. HBP and a single. Mitchell up

i get off work at 7:30, so I get to watch at least half at home
2 on, 2 out

Another 1st Inning for Green….as usual

I'm through with Loy's glove

Can we get him another?

What Mitchell has a NC ring?

Wow! What an athlete!!!

What, no new Mitchell material? C'mon Orel.
Coach Tweeter sighting.
Loy's had some tough chances
Mitchell hits a 3 run HR
its ok people 1st inning
Has anyone noticed Robin Ventura's tie?

Orange

wow, i popped in at exactly the wrong time...
This is typical Cole Green

1st inning jitters. We’ll come back. We always do

im not too worried yet
no need for "too"

We’re Texas. We’re not worried at all.

my bad

im trying to type to fast

Is Cole throwing high fast balls?
looked like a hanger to me
noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!

we all know lsu’s record when they score first……….I feel sick

so much for not drinking tonight!

:-)

well hell
In the words of Augie

We scored 11 runs in one inning before, calm down

Glad Torres got it before Loy did

Side retired, 3-0 LSU

it wasnt exactly no doubt

i thought it was foul at first

Amazing that wasn’t a foul ball.

Ah well. Out of the inning. It would take more than three to beat Texas tonight. In fact, I’ll wager that it would take more than LSU will score.

im with you on that bet
Lot 'o ball left. Game on.
breaking out the alcohol
Aww how sweet. A hug from the coach
all with 2 outs..
yes, a lot of game left.....

but nobody can argue this is a bad start against a high octance offense.

I WANT JUNG BACK IN THERE!! :-)

patrick

now we get to here how mitchell is god’s gift to baseball for the whole game

Such a great talent

he will have such a great career, blah-blah-fing-blah

We need a HUGE game from Belt

He’s BEYOND due

Let it rain base hits!
wtf espn!!!!
great, lost the feed.
whats happening
OK...

My ESPN feed just died. Fucking DISH!

anyone lose the feed
yea i did too on JTV
leadoff single
now thats something to panic about
w all lost feed, its back
phew!

Glad that wasnt caught

fouls bunt attempt 0-2 count
wow, not a good ab
Tucker Tucker Tucker K looking
i hate the fact that it seem like we're playing in fucking baton rouge
Tucker

The bat does you no good on your shoulder

before I forget......

congrats to US soccer team in upsetting #1 Spain today.

Nothing like National pride!

Look at that old fart with the tiger face paint!
Wow

Belt slow bat…again

Belt flies out to Center

2 out, 1 on 1st

come on Moldy
My LSU buddies says Renaudo is

there version of Jungmann…….I hope not!!

I just think we need to put some pressure on him

get him hot and uncomfortable

Donde Esta Erin Andrews?
3-1 count to Moldy
Are they even pitching to Moldy?
Moldy singles to RF, 2 on 2 out
My Directv just went out!!!

Have to keep it for Sunday Ticket though

time for our 5 hole to go deep?
Nice hit to squeeze it out of the infield
c'mon now...lil base knock
3-1 make it be your pitch
One more Prodigious Clout. C'mon Rupper.
walk to get Keyes up with bases loaded would be nice as well
Rupp walks..bases loaded
walk. bases loaded for keyes
Keyes is DUE!!!!!
come on Keyes
making him pitch!!
In Keyes we trust
he's kept it down.

keyes likes it there too.

gotta get something here
Keyes tried taking the lead with one swing

1-1 count

Yup I think Augie is trying to calm him down a bit
/damn it keyes
horrible swing...
damn chased that way high
Keyes swings at ball

side retired

K, 3-0 after one.
TYPICAL KEYES

Good thing is we got runners on. A lot better than if we went 1-2-3
true true

Renaudo won’t make it past the 6th at this pace and with the heat.

Not the way I wanted that inning to go.
it's ok....

isn’t this the only inning LSU has had the lead?

they scored first in game one.
Only good thing from that inning

Is Reynauldo pitched quite a few pitches

Wasted chance
They're not getting any runs this inning.

I think our boys are pissed

That trophy could be a lot better

A crystal bat would be sweet

Their pitcher is not that good
y'all see that girl...

LSU hat, Texas shirt..

Shirt is covering the goods

cause she sure dont have a brain

Damn I'm getting busy at work
I believe the UT bullpen is about to get busy
Yea you gotta think Cole will have a short leash
especially with the 3 spot he gave up

this can’t get too far out of reach this early

Single for LSU
tucker misread that bad
Good play by Belt on the wide throw from Torres
5-3 putout, 1 out runner on 2nd
I like when we get to turn two
why no DB that time?
It was a hit and run. He was almost at second when it was hit
Workman up in the pen
AND...the bullpen's moving
c'mon green....settle down
another looooong out
Cole is leaving them WAY up in the Zone
Pretty small strike zone so there will be hits or walks all night
Nice stop by Tucker but he was to deep in the hole to get the runner at first
nice try by tucker, infield single, 1st and 3rd two out.
we're good, no worries!

TTTEEEEEEEXXXXXXXAAAAAAASSSSSSSSS

FFFFFFFFFIIIIIIIIIIIIIGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHTTTTTTTTT
First and third 2 outs
They are getting the breaks right now

Augie has to change the ju-ju

How many fouls to the same spot?
about 5 too many.
I'd rather it be fouls to the same spot

than HR’s where Mitchell hit it

Son of a bitch!
Single up the middle 4-0 runners on 1st and 3rd
that's it...........go get the bullpen in
but better than I thought
Still early
popup, inning over.... cmon bats
Okay, time to make something happen
Yup remember 6-0
Cole survives for now..

next time he gets in trouble, he’s gone

4 - 0 is nothing,

“Just a walk in the park Kazansky”

I guess it's better they only scored 1 more, not 3 more
1 run and 2 lob is alright
A few hits....a few runs....and we are having fun again
You guys aren't having fun now? :)
the games on?!!!?

 :)

Very early folks
We need some Matthew McConaughey juicy right now
who was warming up in the bullpen?
this just means they cant all be solo shots tonight.
how about a simple double
If Keyes doesn't get his ass off that bench, I'd take him out
Dont tempt Augie

HE’s done it for less and it bit us in the ass\

You can't be sitting in the dugout pouting in the 2nd,

after striking out in the 1st. Seriously, how can any of them be sitting right now

Thats what we needed! a lil spark!
Single/Error? Nola Wide throw
good!

bad throw but maybe loy could borrow the glove

There we go. Runner on 1st 0 outs
perfect use of the error!
Clark makes a BS pop out to 13 inches from the plate, 1 down
a little high
Pops in the infield

are teh suck

so are pops to the outfield
PLaying like SH%T
Fly to center 2 down
Swinging at bad pitches
and not swinging at good ones
did they forget where the strike zone is? COME ON!
If we are going to keep hitting the high pop fly, maybe we could make the sun brighter. Augie?
Is it me or does it look like they are all trying to park it?

stick to small ball boys…

Pop out to shallow center ends the 2nd
Not competing with their at bats
I really don't like being behind.
Hitting high fastballs trying to hit home runs
Augie needs to fix that
workman on the mound
Now, if they cant hit the fastball

throw a damn fastball

It doesnt appear they can catch up to the fastball
Workman gives up a single
hung that one way up there for him.
Where's that rain they were forcasting?
damn breaking ball
throw the heat

its what our good at

I wasn't even planning to comment tonight

but I am sick of everyone swinging for the fences at every at bat. Come on Horns and play your game!

these announcers

think the albequerque isotopes should cut in live for mitchell’s at bats.

Mitchell flies one to Deep left, but out near the track
Workman K's Mahtook
High heat. Stay away from that damn breaking ball
Yeah, lets build on these positives!
good

 no damn curves

Now their trying to defend their wardrobe malfunctions

Wonderful

Damn are they talking about their wardrobe?
OH THOSE SONS OF BITCHES....THEY DIDNT KNOW THEY ALL HAD PURPLE???? RIIIGHT
Twitter joke

You suck Orel

Nice 0 runs now we need to put some men on
finally some pitching tonight
i like mike patrick...

robin: you know he is homering for the big xii…but orel is a dooooosh.

I guess our rants to ESPN have an effect. Maybe they won't spend the evening talking tweets
lets start chipping away
woot!

2 K’s in an inning for Workman, top 4th, 4-0 LSU.

top 3rd...dont give away our outs!!!
Sorry I'm late

I won’t ask what I missed.

time for some chicken wings
wont type for a while
things could get messy
2 or more this inning........batter up
do we have pitch count on LSU guy?
A buddy just told me to go ahead and get a purple championship shirt

I told him not cry at the sight of the burnt orange dog pile after the game

The fat lady is still in missouri

the bus still has a while to get to omaha

leadoff double!
Double for Tucker
Tucker doubles!!!
Nice shot by tucker for 2
For the love of God, someone drive him in

The one Horn I'm getting tired of...

Belt. PLease giraffe….make me proud again!

How is this home plate ump?

Consistent?

extra small strike zone

from the sound of it

I would say consistent
we are due to get a hit w/ runner on 2nd
3rd straight inning with leadoff guy on..

we MUST get him home this time……..more would be better!

man, belt drops his hands big time
just a base hit belt
Belt with a 2-2 count
Full count for the Giraffe
Theres you leake reference for tonight
geez

i forgot about him

too close to take there
Belt walks, 2 on, 0 out
belt walks. runners on 1st and 2nd
What is Brandon thinking?

If it wasn’t a ball, you just struck out, dude.

Hes thinking how ironic it is he is going to play for the giants
Giraffe walks
Moldy up with RBi chance
G DOUBLE O D E Y E......GOOD EYE GOOD EYE GOOD EYE
oh moldy, moldy, moldy..

shows bunt…..fake?

and Moldy is squaring to bunt...nice
our inning right here
for the CWS HR record......
Damn...great play by Mahtook
dammit

that was almost 2 runs

contradiction?
moldy spanked that ball...line drive to left center..

caught on the run

i was commenting on the "damn it" followed by "nice hit"
3 inches to the left and were in business
but 3 inches the the right and there would nothing to talk about

dbl steal!

breaks are just not going our way right now...
Gotta get these guys home
Double steal!!!!!!!!!!
now its like moldy bunted
6-3 putout, rbi
one run in and man on third
Rupp gets a run in, 2 down
grounder to second 2 down runner on third 4-1

One is nice, need 2
Keyes owes us
keyes chasing again
keyes STILL trying to kill it
Keyes trying to kill the ball...again
keyes is not being patient
Keyes still trying to kill the damn ball
At least he laid off that one
and the next one
don't chase it. just a base hit
Good eye that time by Keyes
cmon, leave one thigh high
glad to see some patience here
had his pitch there
just a hit! don't reach for it
He's so clearly swinging for the fences.
Fouled off Ball 4, but he WAS trying to protect the plate
C'mon. let's pick this guy up

New life

PHEW!

Live to see another pitch

damn that was close to being a pop out
kevins trying too hard

looks like ESPN jinxes all the "great" pitchers....they did the same to leake...
Out at second but looked pretty funny
Loy grounds out to short. end or 3
Damn

I want to be happy with 2 runs, but leaving them loaded again hurts really bad. We’re not gonna see Ranaudo again.

Yea, but we cut the lead in half. We are back in the game mentally and emotionally.
alright

im going home, ill see yall soon

we are going to have to get a clutch hit at some point to win this one
I have a good feeling about this game....
I have a good feeling if we can keep them off the bases.

I have full confidence that our offense can manage at least another couple of runs.

Need a quick inning from Workman
2 runs down but we stole the momentum
LOY GETS IT!!
I don't know why these guys are so befuddled by fastballs

But I’ll take it.

Man...

How about that last at-bat by Clark. That might have been “the moment” we turned this thing around..

keyes' was nice too

17 pitches, 2 walks

Very true.

nice momentum change all the way around in the bottom of 3rd and top of 4th….a zillion pitchesby LSU and 3 up 3 down for the Horns.

sec pitchers sucks

that’s why

Grounder back to the mound 2 down
That was way too close at first for a comebacker.
He had to shake that off before he could throw the guy out
NICE. Quick inning. Top of the order coming up for the good guys
alright, let's take it to 'em
Fly to Keyes ends the inning
1/2 inning
yup that too. Trying to type to fast
I've just pulled my dirty & tired coozy out - had it for VY's run ;)

game on….

I have the same dirty ass shirt on from last night smells but it will be worth it
i haven't taken this shirt off in 3 days

it’s my first (and only) texas baseball shirt that i bought on the first day of the series.

so what happens when we get our selves a 7th national championship? chaos downtown? tower?
espn won't notice.
I think I will sit back have a cold one and smile really big for days
I live in Baton Rouge right now

Moving back to Austin just in time to celebrate. Will be there Sunday!

knock on f***ing wood, sir.

we still got 4.5 to play, and we are behind.

but (knock on wood), i’m making a mad dash for the tower.

Justin tv is not working in Spain :(

I’m looking for another options and I found an ESPN stream at tvchannelsfree.com… but they are broadcasting pork’s races… really? That really exist?

lol, yeah
and sorry about spains loss, i hope you're not bring the bad luck w you
Don't worry about it

I watched yesterday’s game…

Channel surfing.net is another feed from JTV
Torres kills it, but right to CF. 1 pitch, 1 out

UGH

Torres flies out to center 1 down
one out base hit
Tucker lines to RF for a single
here is the link

http://www.channelsurfing.net/watch-espn.html

Nice website
Yup. Especially to pass a long night at work :)
single tucker

time for belt and moldy to do some damage

Can't believe Ranaudo is still out there

Paul Mainieri has a death wish

Why can we never get a home run with someone on base?
need belt to get on.

and LSU to keep throwing pitch after pitch….

i vote

moldy 2 run shot.

now is the time
Belt strikes out
nice curve, k
Of course he does
Belt strikes out 2 down

Ranaudo seems to love digging himself out of a hole. One of these innings he won’t be able to get out of it.

Belt in the 3 hole is a joke IMHO

Best batting average on the team, but you’re right; he’s been stone-cold in Omaha.

nice camera work
indeed - thank you camera man
I wanna be a cameraman in my next life

If that’s your motivation, you might go for Maxim or Playboy instead of ESPN.

Moldy grounds to second inning over
belt playing good D
Grounder to Belt 1 down
Great play by Belt, 1 down
Belt gets another. 2 down
The SEC must be full of junk ball pitchers

These guys have been bewildered by fastballs.

3 up and 3 down
beautiful inning

lets get some runs

I love Brandon Workman!
Nice inning by workman
Nice inning from Workman and Belt and Rupp
Can we start this game over and just start Workman!
7 pitches. I will take that the rest of the night. Time for some Offense

Workman’s really stepping up. Good for him; now the batters have to go to work.

Ok She's hot...

I wonder if that chick’s on twitter.

Swing the bat Rupp
Rupp singles up the middle
Nice. Keyes bunt?
Tied game. Keyes gets al of it
TIE GAME!!!
HELLLLLLL YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

That’ll do, pig; that’ll do.

hey hey

brand new game boys

Mo-Men-Tum. Bitches!!
You know...

Judging from these posts, I just realized that my feed is about 3 minutes slow.

Hrm.

straight from orel's ugly curveball face to that beautiful swing.
TAKE THAT FUCKING ESPN!!!!!!!!!!!!!
YAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!
Now I am loving the idea of a bullpen battle
nice ESPN

I’m glad ESPN decided to give us oral instead of showing us the game tying home run live.

I know unbelievable.
Wooo! Boom, MF!!!!
I'm glad we still don't have any outs.
Ladies and gents

Tie ball game

Rowe strikes out. Clarke TIME
Connor just threw that AB away
I agree

What the heck was he doing.

i can not this guy is still at the mound

fine w/ me

I don' think he has anything in the pen so he trying to get all out of him he can
I think he wanted to hang on as long as he could

Their bullpen isn’t as rested as ours, but they’ve got 2 very good pitchers in their pen who have had a day’s rest. And I know we will see Louis Coleman in this game too.

this has to be his last inning

Really? Three from the record?

Keyes redeems himself for the bases-loaded whiff.

Anyone have a clue on Ranaudo’s pitch count? That bases-loaded walk AB was about a dozen pitches, it seemed like.

It's well over 100 now

Gotta be

Brand new ball game boys!
We need to take advantage of Renaudo

They’re obviously desperately wanting to stall to their closer. We need to bust him now. 100 pitches and counting.

patrick

has anyone told him UT is the 1 seed in this tourney

100 pitches

There the announcers go again. Yeah, UT’s so overmatched, being the #1 overall seed and all.

we're like the little engine that could.... Ha ha.
There a rip by Preston, single

Awesome. 100 pitches in 4-1/3 innings.

Single to left by Clark
renaudo

batting practice pitcher

His fastball has dropped way off
i know augie doesnt like it, but hit and run might work here
204 pitches, according to Craig Way
104, damn it
I'm thinking of Craig like Uker;s character in Major League drinking and all
keith law is going to throw a fit!ow

or whatever that assholes name is

I'm ready for the Horns to feast on that bullpen.

They’ve done ok as is.

We need to send Major in to hit
Does anyone else pace when watching these games?
Not baseball. I'm able to remain calmer in baseball.

Football, I walk miles.

Me too. Have a path in the carpet during football season
Whiskey
Jager and LSD
fruity pebbles and whipits

i dont know, i just love cereal.

Pace? No

Vomit? Yes

Just keep it off the pole, kriess. nt
the better question, who doesn't pace?
no, but my orange blood pressure gets up a bit. nt.
lil wayne is warming up
lil wayne is warming up
Maybe should have bunted here

Oh well.

Kinda low strike zone being called for Loy.

trouble for lsu is that we have seen all their relievers in the last 2 days

I’m trying to remember who hasn’t appeared for UT. Just Shin?

that would pitch here, yes
Shin, Carillo, Thomas, McKirahan

I think that’s all

almost took out chad in the bullpen
that would have been pretty
108

come on. full count.

I really like our patience and strategy

New thread, pls? nt.
Patience Holmes.
bummer

hate to see speedy on base

Mitchell walks
Shouldn't have thrown 5 breaking balls in a row to that guy
Not the guy to walk.

Never, ever walk Jared Mitchell or Willie Mayes Hayes! Never!

and another silly mistake by rupp
735 posts? danng
ugh, free base
Funny post on the ESPN message boards.

Texas, Texas, Texas… my goodness! ESPN basically doesn’t show or say anything decent about LSU, I am far from an LSU fan but I am sick of the commentators talking about Texas. I’m starting to think that Texas is the only team playing in the championship.

this guy knows nothing...
Sarcasm at its finest, no? Damn, I hope so.
so wood or dicherry?

who sounds good?

Dicharry has struggled, to my recollection, in the tourney
gonna be a huge battle to keep Mitchell from scoring this inning now.

If he had world-class speed, he, not Holliday, would’ve been the fastest guy in LSU football. That wasn’t even close to being the case. He’s fast, but sheesh, don’t make it out like he’s Vince Coleman.

New thread up.

Need some antidote for Mitchell.

I like Mahtook’s sister or whatever. The one on the left.

big mistake

Never walk Mitchell. Make him earn it.

i'm feeling that this is out of hand
act like this is the first time we've been down late!

TTTTTTTEEEEEEEEEEXXXXXXXXXAAAAAAAAAAASSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!
