Horns vs. Cajuns Game Three Open Thread, 2nd Edition


The game is now tied 4-4 and the comments are flowing deep and fast, so it's time to rewind and bring this baby home.

Workman is holding steady on the mound and LSU is close to having to dig into their tired bull pen.

Tonight's the night.

FFFFFFFFFFFFIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHTTTTTTTTTTTTTT. nt
Nice at bat for Torres. The rally begins
FFFFFFFFFIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHTTTTTTTTT
it was 4-0, now 4-4.
This new thread was needed badly

Thanks a bunch whills

Y'all are welcome.

Now the team needs to rewind and get some outs.

come on brandon

get this guy!

Antidote to Mitchell? Shallow flies and strikeouts.

full count on Mahtook
Payoff pitch right here, right now.
is mitchell still on first
Mitchell is in the dugout now

5-4 Cajuns

This is where Champions are born

Come on Brandon

Farc. Run scores. And how the heck did Mahtook get to second?

nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

time for the bullpen – again

Time for a new pitcher. Last game of year. Burn them all.
Dicharry makes me nervous
agreed. Time to make me wrong.
hell, after the other night, they all make me nervous - including wood
Mahtook doubles, Mitchell Scores, 5-4 LSU
When have they shown one of our players family members?

Every damn shot is a lsu fan or their parent. Fuck espn

+1

you’d think the Texas parents hated their children

Can’t think of a one. They haven’t shown any Texas VIPs, either. Wonder if any (Mack, Barnes, Cat, Clemens, etc.) might be there.

Workman did his best

Tip your cap to him, after saving Cole’s ass.

amen

Workman did yeomans’ work on the mound today.

i don't disagree

but the lsu lead makes me unhappy

Yep, and he kept his pitches under control. He goes a little wild sometimes, but he was extremely solid.

my internet is not acting like a 56k connection anymore :)
Hah! I remember my 1200 baud modem...
...and dual floppy XT.
lets keep this at 5-4
Dicharry!

Lets hope he stops this threat ASAP

This should be our strength. Let's hope. nt
Texas and the 6th inning...................

they just don’t get along

ditto - ESPN sux

Am sick of all the LSU bias…they are getting hate mail and phone calls at corp from me tomorrow.

Micah showing bunt

So LSU plays small ball and UT hits the long ball. OK

No tag?

Nope, not even close. Just a bad throw.

Bad throw by Dicharry, runners safe and on corners
jesus

this team does not make it easy on us, do they?

the sloppiness is killing me

For a team that was so dependable all season on D

we're crumbling

I’ll take a DP at this point.

after a K from Helenihi
well...get a K, and get the DP

K or shallow pop fly.

Sonofabitch. Needed that out. nt
Well, we're gonna have work to do next inning
We'll need to get all those runners we've put on to score. nt

Farc

Thought for sure it was a goner, but the one run still sucks.

from how ESPN reacted

I thought it was LONG gone

Hung the change up
Sac Fly...1 down, LSU 6-4
Almost really bad there
glad that stayed in the park
yep, that would have been a big nail in the coffin
HEAUX ASS TIGERS AND ESPN
someone with a DVR please count how

many shots of lsu fans and coaches/familes in the stands we have seen over ours

Second passed ball.
you would think Ruffin is available if necessary right?
Jungmann is probably the only one not available
i've muted ESPN and gone to craig way

I can’t stand all the LSU chanting. wth

I'm doing Craig straight up. Don't even want to watch. nt
Dicharry needs to get the ball down
i think there are more lsu fans there...they are the bandwagon darling...19 years and 5 titles
Grounder to Tucker 2 down
2-0 count to Lemayeu
We are falling apart
Dicharry is spooked.

WTF? C’mon, guys.

pass ball by Rupp....3-0 count, runner on 3rd
passed ball on bad pitch

runner on 3rd now

get jungmann some steroids
wtf

can’t waste time on a nervous pitcher …

Get Wood in the game already
can we get some pitching from chance ruffin?
Dicharry walks Lemaieu

DiCharry came out cold.

Yeah, now it's Austin Wood.

Gotta stop this now.

here comes wood
Get AD out of there...jeebus.
runners on corners again..

Texas just trying to hang on right now……..on the verge of getting ugly

We are self impolding
*imploding
The situation is like basketball; teams get little runs.

Stopping the runs and staying close counts a lot.

Besides, they need a leader in there.

Austin Wood coming in...

can he please not let a run in this time!

Its only the 6th inning. The ship is not sinking yet
I know

Just making an observation that we are imploding right now. We still have 12 outs left. Thats PLENTY.

but it's taking on water right now
Long as it has some

bouncy we are still in it

beat me to it.
thank goodness

let’s hope wood is on. we need to see a BC-style performance. last chance to make an impression, Austin Baby

still only the 6th fellas..

Cut 4 to 2 and tied it up once already..don’t give up

keep austin wood.

Two outs. Just force a dribbler.

I still can’t get over that damn high throw to first. When Belt has to jump to grab the throw, you’ve missed badly.

we never give up on this team...you just cannot count them out.
having said that......the bleeding needs to stop now!
and of course we're facing Schimpf
their lineup is daunting stat wise
annoucers

I hate to beat a dead horse but they are so ridiculous. a minute ago they referred to this as the bottom of the sixth. how the hell do they not know where we are in the ballgame?

Tighten Schimpf up.

No decent strike zone for Wood
2-1 count on Shrimp

What? Did it actually hit him?

no one will ever know

The umpires sure won’t.

and it hit him

bases freaking loaded

If he's not gonna give Austin the outside corner, we're in trouble
Did not even touch that guy
he was hit by the glove. Not the ball
bases loaded

we’ve reached a critical moment in this championship game.

Looked more like the catcher’s glove hit him.

Wood needs a wider strike zone for his throws'
strike! give us that corner jesus
Wow. Way to look alove BONers
radio guys

say it hit his sleeve

What do radio guys know. They can't see anything...... :)
Thanks guys

STRIKE HIM OUT!

squeezing him...but he is missing by a few

Damn, not a friendly strike zone.

This blows

They’re not gonna give Austin the corner

Dean swung at ball 3, 2-1 count
wtf fuck man
In football terms, this is a big play...big batter.

Can’t get too fine on these pitches.

have to close this out!
7-4 after HBP
Pull Austin

This is such bullshit. Wood needs to fucking bean the next lefty who crowds the plate.

Single...2 runs score
the flood gates have opened.

*proverbial floodgates

FUCKING AUSTIN WOOD....TAKE HIS ASS OUT
wow....ass whupping now.
No, just a bigger wall to climb. nt
Bullpen=Fail. Damn.
he's not made for this.....TAKE HIM OUT

C’mon, Austin. Get out of it.

Austin Wood left his game in Austin against BC

he’s been terrible since!

the hat

YEs I’m THAT superstitious

Thank God its over with
Seriously?
The top of the 6th

Judas priest, end of a terrible inning.

only 5 down..... oh nevermind
We can cut the lead this inning. who will pitch next time out

Augie needs to set the boys straight.

FUCK ESPN, THEY'RE READY TO JIZZ ON LIVE AIR
Season is very close to being over
Why has our bullpen failed us against LSU

It’s so disappointing. We have the #1 pitching staff in the nation and they blow Game 1 and rewarded our batters for fighting back with an atrocious inning.

They were the big batting team. Their power has failed them.

So, we just play baseball with what we have.

9-4

ugh! need a miracle………………………again!

How many have we used up?

this will be one hell of a comeback

i think patrick jizzed himself four times that inning.

and mitchell leads off next inning

so dont think he is done.

guys, he threw 170 pitches and ever since, he has not been the same. Dead Arm Syndrome

He also threw a few more pitches than one would normally expect of him just two days ago. If he throws that many, I wouldn’t have expected him to be ready for today. I thought Shin would be the guy.

I wonder how many people are ready to acknowledge this

seems pretty obvious at this point. That TCU game was a double edged sword.

still only the 6th guys!

remember arizona state and the unflappable mike leake! And he had a 6 run lead!

Our bullpen also decided to show up for that game.
just jungmann
true..but there are still more pitchers and batters who'll give it their all!
I know

But we just fought back from 4-0 after Green gave us a crappy outing, and then our bullpen does this. It’s hard not to be frustrated.

oh believe me, i'm frustrated...

but im not giving up!

true...

but that was a freaking nightmare inning. And I’d much rather be in LSU’ s position

Ruffin, Jungmann, and Workman

the only 3 guys who showed up this series on the pitching staff….everybody else has been useless.

TEXAS FIGHT!!!
Folks, this is how we get heroes.

You don’t get them winning 14-0. It’s always the adversity. If any team can do it, these Horns can.

Thank-you. Good lord
I say LSU puts Chad Jones in

And Texas lights him up and puts an end to Malieri’s “experiment”

that graphic said it all...you cannot do that in this situation.

It was like jumping on a hand grenade for no good reason.

"Break the Longhorns heart?" F - ESPN

Show those a-holes boys.

12 points down

6 and a half minutes left… That situation was so unwinnable

Very true

+1. I needed that

also against the greatest team.
Heh, heh. nt
No it wasn't. Nobody in burnt orange thought that was unwinnable with VY under center.
Or any game vs. Okie State for that matter! : )

Time to take advantage of Ranaudo.

When he falters, he will go to pieces.

Then it’s their time with the bullpen blues.

full count now on Tucker
Fly out to CF
not the best way to start the bottom of the 6th
We just scored 2 runs in the last inning

this game isn’t even close to being over.

if lil wayne is as good as monday....it might be over
He's a lefty specialist

Not going to be in there long

coleman = 5 solo bombs = tied game?
shouldn't have pulled Workman

it was clear he was pissed.

you guys keep assuming our bullpen will shut down LSU the last 3 innings..

I believe we have some offense left, but unless Ruffin or Jungmann are out there………LSU’s probably gonna get more runs.

no

not throwing in the towel yet. Dont you dare do it

fine

i’ll grab the next beer then

I'm really upset

If they’re going to beat us, make them beat us. Don’t give it to them with sloppy pitching.

And fielding. And heck, batting.

shouldn't have pulled Wood in game 1 either

Looks like Les Miles has been showing his jugs.

reallly...what a tool
3 unearned last inning...that loses ballgames

It’s definitely not over, but the lineup has to show some heart again.

Hope you guys dont live on the top floor or more than 10 feet off the ground

Some of you may need to be coaxed back off the ledge

Burnt orange sunset. Good Sign

Damn, beat me to it.

keep the faith...all usc needed was a 4th down conversion to seal the deal...yeah, that did not happen
BON'rs - It's rally cap time or leave the board. C'mon, man up.
Let's do this...don't care how, let's do it.
Ok. Enough!

No more of this “these are the things that loses ballgames” type talk. We’re Texas. We’ve won 6 of these damn trophies before. This is the most special team for UT baseball that I have ever been apart of. All of you BONers who think we’re going to lose, GROW a freaking pair (no disrespect to the lady BONers) and still believe in the BURNT ORANGE and WHITE!

buddy I am with you and on your side...but that defensive debacle was unacceptable...i love this team and have faith in the offense...wood has a dead arm right now. We need some solid pitching relief.
Not the end of the world

We do need some pitching relief to get this game back on track, but that can be said for ANY game ever played in baseball. We gave up 5 runs. Its done. Its over buddy. Lets stay positive and show our horns what real fans are like. I wasnt happy with the last inning but I know we have at least 9 more outs to rectify the situation. Have faith in Bevo

Lot more generous zone for Jones.

The strike zone just widened
Giraffe of Doom?

WTF, this zone is ridiculously different.

Effing umps want to get back to the buffet or something.

shaped like the USA

and that pitched nipped miami

Belt Backwards K
I've been impressed how damn hard Mouldy has hit the ball. nt
Does les miles know how stupid and undignified he looks ...

… wearing purple mardi gras beads?

same way he coaches
This is a great PR / recruiting opp. for the school. Remember, they aren't Texas.
Running out of outs
just need a rally betwen two of those outs baby!
alcohol acquisition break
rally..............will have to wait
LES MILES TV, i've seen les miles more during this game than any football season
I think he won a national championship
More les than augie? Augie has also won national championships and his team is playing.
Time for Augie to work his mojo.

He’s got to clean their emotional deck, settle down the pitcher, tell the D that the game is in their hands – no more runs – and get his batters to be effective.

Pissed it away in the last inning.

Time to stop spitting out candy and get real.

Can they come back? Of course. Is it at all likely to happen? Not really.

Baseball is the art of the unlikely. nt
amen to that
please oh please...is this the team of destiny? Sure would like to think so...
If we were playing well, I'd agree

But we aren’t. At all. We did for a couple of innings there, but now it’s back to the same crap that put LSU up 4-0.

Tucker makes the play in foul territory

1 down

Easy inning. Needed that.

Rowe catches a fly out, 2 down
that was quick, no SWING THOSE BATS!
that was fast

inning over

nice inning

lets go bats

Austin Amends. Great Inning. Rally Rally Rally.
Keyes end inning,

LETS DO THIS!!

ok, need at least 2 this inning.
HOOK'EM HORNS!!
And who in their right mind would want to attend LSU??? Seriously.......
TTTTTEEEEEXXXXXAAAAASSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
FFFFFFFFFFIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHTTTTTTTTTTTT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I must say, Maineri is classy...I like him.
He beats the hell out of Pat Murphy, that's for damn sure

I just hate their fans.

Namely the three in the announcer booth.

FIIIIIIIIIGGGGGGGGGHHHHHTTTTTT!

Is that Mainieri’s daughter? I like her better.

Austin Wood

I live out of state and hav’nt caught a lot of horns games but so far this postseason i’m not really seeing it with him.

He had his 13 innings of fame. Now he’ll have to make his mark in the pros.

His arm is a bit dead since the BC game...
He has not been razor sharp since then. nt
His arm isnt dead

He’s just in a slump.

Is he our only option as a lefty out of the pen then?
Rupp = fly out to RF, 1 down
OK. Had to mute the game. Announcer fatigue.

Poor Keyes is getting all sorts of beat up.

KK takes one for the team, 1 on, 1 out
I'll take a hobble to first. nt
I don't know why anyone with radio access would ever NOT have the game muted

I’m having trouble just watching, with all the LSU fan BS.

should we pinch run for him
I hope not

we know how that ends for Augie…lol

Hate to see Keyes have to come out, because his bat’s a big one these days, but it might have to happen.

USC, LSU, FL, OU, BLAH BLAH BLAH...BITCHSLAP THEM ALL.
didnt you say that last night as well

:-)

That would’ve been a ball in the top half of any inning.

BBEEEEEEEEEEEEEEERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
btw, and some good mojo: lots are picking the Horns this year for the MNC
rallies don't happen when you swing at bad pitches...

we need much better at bats than the last one

Connor Rowe !!!

We have to stop swinging at crap like that

we need base runners
kevin clark is awesome....
I miss PB
where is he?
dunno

being all legal somewhere

Probably in summer recovery. nt
lets get a homer
Les Miles committing munerous secondary recruiting violations
just missed that bad boy
Boy, the pop ups are a killer tonight. nt
piss poor inning. no more pop-outs dammit
side retired
2 very quiet innings offensively

yikes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Not showing any heart or threat on offense.

The lefty is handcuffing our hitters. Someone will have to break it out. nt
told ya'll...lil wayne is lethal
makin' it rain?
I doubt UT isnt showing any heart

They’re just being outplayed right now. Trust me. UT is playing with a shit-load of heart. Just ask ASU, BC, Army, TCU, So Miss….etc.

Do you really need me to specify that I am talking about tonight?

no, I just think "no heart" is a little strong
NK...just brutal
couple quick things

I have not given up; very proud of this team overall which exceeded my expectations; however, this serious kills me on so many error/mistake levels

BBBBBBEEERRRRRR!!!!!!

can we get a count of how many times they've shown les miles? 57? 109?
Cry... Game 1 is going to live in infamy

It lost us a championship.

you can say that if we lose tonite

but we’re not done yet

yes, the dogpile should have occured yesterday.
uggh not what we needed
Nola doubles, 0 outs
and no Erin lately...
Giraffe shoulda caught that in his mouth
Unfortunately...

…talent outplayed heart this game. It’s worked to our favor on the football field before, so I guess we can’t complain now.

Plus, when you have the lead in the 9th in game 1, you have to win.

+1

I’m still dwelling on Augie’s personnel moves that game. Love the guy, but…

clearly...

…he jumped the gun on a few occasions that game

For what it's worth

There is a “postgame party” at the Disch at 1:30 PM tomorrow to welcome the team back. Free and open to the public. Of course they would have it in the middle of the workday when no one can go.

damn my Dallas livin'!
1:30? wtf athelic department..
and anothe pitching change

shiner coming in

We're putting in a substandard beer to pitch?
substandard???

where the hell did you go to school?? It sure as hell wasn’t Austin.

Shiner Blonde is some good stuff
Shiner TX is closer to College Station I bet

besides we all have to move on from the bud, miller and shiner of the world

its about the same
you are so wrong

shiner does not belong in the same sentence, paragraph or even page as miller and bud. seriously, you didn’t actually attend the University of Texas, did you?

And yes...

… the ballgame has devolved to the point that i’m arguing about beer

I love you

but its just my opinion of what I like. Shiner is just mediocre comapred to the greatness out there

If nothing else...

it’s nice to be loved, especially by a fellow Longhorn. : )

it is a great college beer :)
Texas = Shiner

End of Story

If you believe that its cool but there is better beer brewed right here in Texas

There are some beers that are better than Shiner; there’s no arguing that. But it’s damn good for the price, and really damn good for a widely-available domestic bottle.

I find it overpriced. It should be priced more competively than Live Oak or Saint Arnold which

are better breweries overall

It's even better on tap

Plus, if you went to UT as an alcohol virgin (as I did), you learned to drink beer on Shiner. It was the keg of choice at every party. I worked on the Texan. We used to have daily budget meetings at the God-forsaken Hole in the Wall over pitchers of Shiner. So yes, my attachment is part emotional. But I still love the taste as well.

but what do I know … I also loved Pete’s Summer Brew and cannot find it to save my life.

C’mon, Shin, lock it up the rest of the way.

Austin Wood's last pitch as a Longhorn

Tip your hat to him guys

You beat me to it :)
Bravo, Austin Wood.
Last pitching performance by one helluva Texas Longhorn
Maybe this ain't our night

Either way, love this team, love this season. And still looking for a dramatic comeback.

then september rolls around
speaking of closers

Whatever happened to J. Brent Cox??? Is he still in the Yankees organization?

believe so

i read he had tommy john surgery and is working his way back.

He's in AAA I believe
need the DP
I dont thin that's appropiate to say...ohhhhh you mean double play
I was dreaming of a UT triple champ season

Champs in baseball, football, and basketball. Ugh, I guess I’ll just HAVE to settle for 2 out of 3 and another CWS appearance.

Well, techinically, we'd need to win baseball next year for that to apply.
with our young team

Very possible

Living in Ohio

They say, better to play for the national championship and lose then not to have a shot. they say that a lot up here…..

technically

the champions in football and basketball won’t be crowned until 2010, so if UTB takes the CWS title next year, it’d be a Tiger-esque type triple crown

"and texas into double digits"

what are they talking about?

I have to hand it to Craig and Keith

I would not be able to keep my emotions in check anywhere near as well as they have.

down 6 now........

maybe we were just waiting to be down 6 again before another big rally???

i still our players have it in them...
Great DP. Let's go!

Make ’em pay now, boys.

nice DP to end inning
In more uplifting news

I just got the annual season ticket address verification e-mail from Bellmont. Getting closer and closer.

we have scored 11 runs in one inning before

This is baseball….anything can happen

Have you ever heard of Texas having a 6 run inning to tie the game? ME TOO!
Colt and Jordan are roommates
their dads knew each other too at abeline state
A comeback for the ages.....
Power of positive thinking
Yep, we can do this
Great! Coleman is in. Light up the Bats, Boys!

They replaced Jones.

“Phew.”

Why are they bringing in this guy when the other was doing so well? nt
isnt he a senior?

maybe Coach PAsta wants his senior to get dogpiled on. IF they can hold on to the win.

that's racist and I'm italian
Im Italian as well

get over it :-)

well im not.... What if I was hungarian and you disparaged my peeps?
I would assume you would get over it

its a blog. Really? LOL

yea he is a senior
Baseball is not a sentimental game. nt
just a thought
Sergio Kindle doesn't sleep, he waits for Bradford
I'm thinking....

…can Sergio swing a bat??? Would of been nice…

Quan shouldn’t of gone pro and played both.

Kindle can do anything my friend

Kindle would make the bat look like a small twig.

another bad ab for loy
there you go now!!!
c'mon TEXAS!!!!!
Torres drills a double in the gap
Nice hit by Torres
any thoughts on the home plate umpire?

Yeah. He needs to figure out where he wants the effing strike zone to be.

Wake up Jubu. Hit that ball. nt
Lets get 3 runs here, 3 runs in the 9th
4 in the 9th :)
Game winning grand salami

and pure Texas fashion. I would not be surprised

What!?

Carson Palmer is on the mound?

Palmer

Coleman

How do we see who number to join we were here?

We used to be able to scroll over the name…

Can't do that now. Have to click on it and check the personal info on joining. nt
gracias
sorry..

…I know that was a little cheesy. Just trying to make light of the situation. Member since ’08, but been hanging around since ’07

Sept, 22, 2008
Not not you or anything I just remembered we used to be able to view and I didn't remeber how

Two fantastic defensive plays. Things just aren’t rolling UT’s way, and they need to start if the Horns are going to overcome that disastrous inning.

The breaks have all been for LSU tonight.

Someone from the Texas dug out needs to go over and ask her to dance.

*Lady luck that is
Damn! Did I just say that out loud? Sorry. Trying to not get discouraged.
They're just squeezing us down to nothing. Tough night so far, no magic at all. nt
avada kedavra
Dwight Howard
theres some magic for u
Well, they just stole it. nt
Great season but can't win with a sub par pen and unreliable defence

when the games on the line.

its over, fuck LSU AND ESPN
how many sac bun we've took tonight?

give credit to LSU that they’ve played small ball to score during 6th inning…

No matter what happened, I’m still loving this team…They’ve played their best of the best for this season… It’s beyond our expectation….

Hook’em!

Over

Too many mistakes. Even from the coaches too; untimely substitutions, abandoning small ball, etc.

11-4

its not going to happen tonight. Great season, championship was lost on monday night as it turns out………..unfortunate.

agreed....if Augie didnt abandon small ball at the late of the game.... we should win that game...
Looking at next season

what weaknesses need to be addressed? I don’t really know a lot about this team, but by reading the comments, we really need to address the bullpen, improve the offense, and prevent the mental mistakes. Not only errors on defense, but our pitchers not giving us a chance by walking hitters and hitting them.

Then again with all that said, Game 1 should’ve been ours. Next year is the year!

Chance Ruffin in
You gotta win the games where your ace starts

Goes back to Game 1…

our ace started last night.
now they bring Ruffin in?????

he should have come in for Workman back in the 6th……………..this move is maddening!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ruffin gets to be the last Horn on the mound this year…although I’d give anything for that not to be the case (that is, extra innings).

Maybe we should take the turf out of the disch so we know how the ball bounces in Omaha
Shouldnt we be close to the top 3 for preseason next year?

Very young team with little going to pro’s right?

it should be....
Awesome season. Way more than ever expected.

Will always remember it for my first game at the Disch for the conference championship

Maybe it's over, but no second-guessing this team or the coaches

This has been one hell of a ride. I am grateful for it. It’s LSU’s year. We’ll have ours another time.

goodnite all i refuse to watch them do the celebration dogpile
going to go out and accept the runner up trophy this year?
I hope they do. This team has played their asses off
We need another doorstop
first things first, who are we losing for next year just? torres and wood? (starters)

That’s it. I’m schmoozing the Mahtook girls into a three-way.

a little young

Hey, I’m still in my twenties.

Doesnt change the fact they're probably 12

Look like college age to me.

Gross on many levels.

Hey, I didn’t say they had to touch each other. F-F has been completely superfluous in my experience.

I will always have appreciation for this team

even if we win it all next year.

This team really reminded me of Clutch City, the Rockets in 1994-95. So many dramatic moments, and so many dramatic wins. Unfortunately we ran into the better team.

Well. I have to say, I have had a ball this season.

Some really exciting baseball. A fun team to watch. But I will be glad to stop the ESPN college baseball stuff. Thanks everyone for carrying me through the series. It has been fun!

Hookem from Ohio

TTTTTTTTTTEEEEEEEEEEEEXXXXXXXXXXXXXAAAAAAAAAAASSSSSSSSSSSSSS
FFFFFFFIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHTTTTTTTTTTTTTT
FFFFFFFFFFIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHTTTTTTTTT!!!!!

Put Your Horns Up!!!! Proud to be the Longhorns!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Here we come Colt McCoy!!!!

Okay, last chance, fellas!

Win or lose, we get to go back to Austin, Texas
the best damn place in the world
UT's bench

All smiles. Class.

Defensive replacements?

Sounds familiar.

i still dont get why theres such a big LSU fan base in omaha right now...

Because the Big 12 North hates Texas.

with all the LSU fans in the house, its turning into Homoha
the texas fanbase have careers
and a full set of teeth
I would love to see Moldy get the record with this AB
3-0 count...its a start

Walked on four pitches.

Um…perhaps they ought not sac bunt.

7 more base runners please
i always love the borderline strike call as the ump feels obligated
I really don't understand

the pinch runner here

who is it?
one of the Lussons

didn’t catch which one

Right down the middle

Damn, Rupp. Last AB of the season.

you sure keyes is not playing LB this game?
i also hate that they boo the ball girls after they miss the catch of the net......fucking LSU fans

Stay classy, Tiggers.

Kidding me. Judas. Keyes Ks.

changing the channel as soon as espn jizzes over LSUs win

Better wear rain boots.

Last strike. Hook ’em, Horns.

0-2 count...this is it boys
love this team...more than anyone will ever know.

Okay, time for Olbermann.

just changed it, good night, what an amazing season
and thats the game boys
i feel like crying, but i wont...it was too special
love them, and you all---see you in September!!!!!!

Do you feel me Colt???

Helluva ride down a road no one ever expected
Agreed. It was a heck of a season.
This team came in with no experience

but they obtained a ton of it these two weeks.

Great team, great season.

I think they’ll be back.

Goodnight, Horns. We love you.

Hook ’em.

incredible post-season

regardless of the outcome. proud of the boys

our boys done good

like The Happenings, “See You in September”

Well done, Horns.

Thanks for a great season.

We're (still) Texas.
So there ends another fantasic year of Texas Athletics

Not many universities got to see all of the success that we saw this year, and the best thing is that next year is gunna be even better

right on

This was an amazing year, and 09-10 has a good chance to be the best ever.

Proud of this team

But this is a bitter defeat. We were one out away from winning Game 1 and taking this series in 2. Our bullpen failed us then and it failed us today. Hard not to be angry that we practically gave LSU that big inning with mistake after mistake.

The post-mortem will show that to be the case.

When you have it down to an out, you must close it out.

50-16-1.

I suspect AS40 will put something up later.

Now for a 40-day break before we get damn serious about the Horns.

Lets keep this in perspective

Aggy was picked to win this NC at the beginning of the year. Every Longhorn fan needs to be DAMN proud of their baseball team from Austin. Our boys get to come home to Ausitn, Texas, and work on getting back to Omaha next year. And WE WILL BE BACK!

Heads up

Football, Basketball, and Baseball should all be better next year. Just a little over a month of nothingness until football talk can really begin.

What are you talking about?

We need to start talking football now!

Yeah we need someone to do a breakdown of DCTF mag ASAP

I need my Fix!

Just got my copy yesterday

First page of the texas article is about Colt making sure the collins is up at 5am everyday to work out and practice, i guess after brandon got in trouble for being late a few times

and that is about as far as I got

we will all have plenty of time to read now

Friday Night Lights.

What the hell is Mitchell saying?
thank god

On the bright side we dont have to listen to the anouncers tounge bathe lsu anymore. Hook Em Horns and good night to all.

73 days

until football season. Hook ’em.

Great season all

That it didn’t end in a championship shouldn’t detract from all this team accomplished.

Even if I met Brandon Loy in a dark alley, I’d give him a punch in the arm and buy him a beer.

Great Season Indeed

Despite coming one game short of the top, it was the most memorable run this decade by a Longhorn team. Very proud of these kids. They are champions in my book. One of the great things about being a Horn is that we are sure to return to Omaha every year. This team may well make another run next season with some of the talent that we will retain. Hook’em!

Jungman needs to win 15 games, and more than one Longhorn needs to be above .300.

Notoriously undermanned in the offense and speed department across the board, with all emphasis on pitching. Need some balance here for sure. If anyone can fill these gaps, it’s Garrido. Here’s to 2010.

Where was Mack?

I saw Roy WIlliams at a UNC game in this CWS, I saw Trent Johnson and Les Miles at our game 2 against LSU and then Miles went home and got his son and came back for the Championship Game.

At a Basketball school like UNC Williams is the lead dog and he came to show his support. At a football school the football coach is the lead dog. Where was ours?

Does Mack have an issue with Augie because of the drinking and driving thing or what?

Doubt that’s it. I think it has more to do with a combination of recruiting and a few other things. Isn’t his wife still going through some of the medical stuff?

That said, yes, I do believe there should’ve been more UT VIPs there. Of course it’s entirely possible that they were there, but weren’t shown on ESPN because there wasn’t time between shots of Les Miles twittering and Mahtook’s family.
