Really hope the Frogs keep the momentum going from this weekend and put a beating on the aggies.
It sucked losing to OU but not near as bad as it would be to lose to tam.

Pretty sure we had a one run lead heading into the 9th against the Ags in 2008, but Cashner blew the save (walks and a wild pitch were involved if I remember correctly)

If the OU game last Tuesday is any indication, we should have a good crowd tonight. The weather's good (a little breezy), nice night for baseball. Looking forward to it.
