Omahorn
Texas trailed Arizona State 2-0 courtesy of a first-inning homerun off the bat of Riccio Torrez. The pressure was on, but of course that was nothing new to this bunch after playing in four elimination games over the previous seven days. It’s inaccurate to say they had ASU right where they wanted...
The Mantle of Expectations
The Texas Longhorn baseball team is set to host a Regional from Friday through Monday. I keep expecting to get excited for this weekend’s games and the opportunity they present, but this weekend’s foes have me feeling meh about the Regional. Sun Tzu is credited with saying, "It is said that if you...
The committee has spoken
The NCAA Baseball Selection Committee released their announcement of the postseason field of 64 teams on Monday. ESPN dedicated an entire 30 minute television show. I watched the French Open. It's not quite the hoopla of March Madness...okay, so it's not even in the same multi-verse. However, this...
Macro vs Micro
In the long and distinguished history of Big 12 baseball, Texas and Texas A&M have never finished 1-2 in the conference standings. That’s all set to change this weekend, when the Horns (38-12 /17-7) and Aggies (37-6 / 18-6) play a split series. The three games will also decide the Lone Star...
Coin Flip
There is a valid argument to be made about the 2011 Texas baseball team and it has painfully real ramifications - Is this team still improving and yet to reach their peak? Or are they already bumping the ceiling and showing warning signs of an early postseason exit? It’s mid-May, and...
Texas vs. AM Will Decide Big 12 Baseball Crown
That series is ten days away, but it should determine the Big 12 champion with each team needing to win 2 out of 3. Although A&M sits atop the Big 12 standings on a percentage basis (15-6 record), they still have to play a home series with last place Nebraska this weekend while Texas (17-7) faces...
More Details on UT-ESPN Agreement Emerging
The Austin American Statesman has obtained a copy of the licensing agreement between UT, its media rights-holder IMG College, and ESPN and it reveals a few more interesting details in the pact. As already reported, the 24-hour network is expected to launch this August. ESPN is the equity...
Taylor Jungmann – His Place In The Longhorn Pitching Pantheon?
The pantheon of Longhorn pitching immortals is well-established: Burt Hooton, Greg Swindell, Kirk Dressendorfer, Street father and son - to name a few - but right now we're seeing numbers from our junior ace which aren't just spectacular. They are historic. The 6-6, 220 pound junior ace is 10-0...
The Big C
If baseball is life, then curve balls are cancer. Just ask Alex Silver. Silver was diagnosed with Hodgkins Lymphoma just weeks before starting his freshman campaign at Disch Falk Field. The Big C at nineteen years of age. That’s not a curve ball, that’s devastating. But his doctors told him it was...
Longhorn Network: Closer To Reality
The business of getting the Longhorn Network up and running by August is well underway. ESPN has its management team in place, and it includes a Texas-Ex as head of production. Just last week, the spring game was used as an opportunity for unveiling the brand for the 24-hour network. There is an...
