Goodness. I scheissing love beating the aggies. What a game.Seen it a hundred time and still got chills watching it again
I’d love to have a football playoff game like this against them. Something like Duggan ripping off a 70-yard TD run with seconds left to send aggy packingGoodness. I scheissing love beating the aggies. What a game.
Boomer booted his at Listeria Park the next year. This was a different 3B.
Does anyone know the starting rotation for the impending sweep of the Horns this weekend. Asking for a friend.
Any additional insight into how we match up?According to UT
Madden v Smith
Stevens v Krob

Pretty infuriating.I spoke to Mayor Price about a project we are doing in Fort Worth & brought up TCU. She said she had given TCU admin/athletics the 'OK' for 100% weeks perhaps a month ago.
I feel like this could be a confidence boosting performance for our staff if Texas isn't aggressive at the plate. They had about 80 strikeouts in 3 games in Arlington (only slight hyperbole) and our guys have swing and miss stuff if it's working. But if we're hanging off speed stuff in the zone all weekend it could get ugly. They have a couple big bats. Our offense really needs to make their staff work. We do that pretty well with a lot of guys who go deep into counts and consistently put good ABs together, but we need to be disciplined and not swing at too many bad pitches. There are a lot of walks and SBs to be had for our offense in this series if we keep doing what we've been doing at the plate. Just hoping we keep the TOOTBLANs to a minimum.From Horns 247:
TEXAS V. TCU BASEBALL PREVIEW
Big series coming up this weekend, so I thought it’d be fun to put together an (amateur’s) preview of the Horn Frogs and what Texas is up against. Feel free to add any comments/correct any mistakes!
FINAL THOUGHTS:
This series should be a good one. Texas has a real chance to grab momentum going into the post season and tighten up the Big 12 race, but will be up against a real tough environment and a team that has been rolling. TCU has not faced the kind of pitching Texas is capable of bringing since Arlington, but their bats are undoubtedly up for the challenge. Texas has the bullpen arms to shut things down, but it will be crucial strike early and not allow TCU to hold bullpen guys back until game 3. A series W would be fantastic, but avoiding the sweep should keep Texas safely in contention to nab a top 16 seed at least. Let’s hope Pierce has the boys ready to go. Hook ‘em
I wouldn't judge UT off Globe Life. For inexplicable reasons CDC didn't let them practice AT ALL the entire week leading up to those games. That was the bad freeze week. We were all dealing with it but at least TCU was able to get indoors and do SOMETHING.I feel like this could be a confidence boosting performance for our staff if Texas isn't aggressive at the plate.

I predict the results shouldn't really matter. I feel like UT and TCU are both clearly top 8 teams worthy of a National Seed
I guess I could have worded that better. I've noticed they don't strike out nearly as much as they did in Arlington that's almost unpossible), but they still seem to strike out a healthy amount in their games that I've watched since. Krob's off-speed stuff is the kind of stuff they seem to struggle with the most. Big Russ can do the same. Haylen and Ridings are two more. If you hang it they'll punish it, but if you keep the off-speed stuff down they'll wave at it or hope it doesn't cross through the zone.I wouldn't judge UT off Globe Life.

I tend to agree. Assuming a well played 2-1/1-2 result this weekend I think that's what happens. If one team totally [ #2020 ]s the bed and gets swept in ugly fashion then I could see them being left out.
