Poor Razorbacks are so conflicted now on who they rather see lose.

Looked like the were too pumped to hit the long ball. Struck out in key situations and chased the high pitch. I’ve done it myself many times when I played (not college level). They just need to let the game come to them and they will be fine.

Went to graduate school at Texas, loved living in Austin, met my wife there, great times watching the horns.

With that out of the way, Go freaking Vols!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

All in on the lighter shade on Tuesday

I married a Longhorn that likes to run her mouth. Yeah, the next couple of days will be fun.....

Without Tennessee, the fake UT would be the University of Northern Mexico at Austin....

I'm surprised Coach V didn't have a fit concerning the high hear.... I guess he let it out after the game

Gig'em Vols!! Beat The Hell Outta tu!! Saw'em Off Forever!

I am always amused at this lack of historical perspective when we talk about "UT Jr". Keep in mind, without the Volunteers, TX might still belong to Mexico. So, essentially, Texas: We are your daddy! Now come get your azz whippin lil one.

Poor Razorbacks are so conflicted now on who they rather see lose.

They are still watching from home, regardless.

 

[Volfan1000]

The coaching staffs probably know each other very well with Anderson and Elander being former members of Big 12 staffs and they probably recruit a little bit against one another as well.

Tenneasseans like Boone and Crockett and Houston are interweaved into Texas history.

Was Chad Dallas recruited by Texas?

I saw several Arkansas fans at the game yesterday wandering around with their "Omahogs" shirts on. Poor lost souls.

Let's think about this...

We're throwing Tidwell Tuesday and assuming we win, we turn around and play the loser of MSST and UVA Thursday. I think it's a Heflin/Sewell combo Thursday and hopefully we get some offensive help so we don't have to deplete resources. If we can get through the losers bracket, we can throw Cheese Friday, which is HUGE. This is going to depend on Tuesday, but on Saturday maybe we can go Tidwell 40-50 pitches, McLaughlin, Hunley, Connell, Walsh, Mabry (all of which might be called upon Tuesday, Thursday or Friday). Bottom line is we need to score runs. We don't have the pitching to be in tight games and come out of the losers bracket.

Game 1 vs UVA (Sunday, June 20th)
Cheese: 63 pitches
Hunley: 11 pitches
Walsh: 10 pitches
Sewell: 17 pitches

I think it's safe to say we didn't burn any arms in Game 1 aside from Cheese and he'll be ready to go Friday if we can get him there. I wish we had that one extra day of rest that they have in the other bracket, but I'm just as thankful we didn't use a lot of pitchers yesterday.
