Huskers Thump 'Horns In Lincoln

by Peter Bean on Apr 21, 2007 10:52 AM CDT in Texas Longhorns Baseball

The 'Horns were thoroughly spanked last night at Haymarket Field in Lincoln, as Tony Watson and the Cornhuskers blanked Texas 7-0. James Russell, who's been outstanding this season for Texas, couldn't keep Nebraska in check, yielding 11 hits and six earned runs in his five innings of work.

That was more than enough for Nebraska with the way that Watson was pitching. The lefty kept Texas' hitters off balance all evening, striking out six 'Horns and walking none. Even Augie Garrido was frustrated and he found himself ejected from the game in the sixth inning after arguing with the first base umpire about a call.

The loss marked the first time Texas has been shutout since April 23, 2006 and the first time the team has been limited to fewer than three hits since 1998. Adrian Alaniz will try to get Texas back in the win column this afternoon.

As noted by NYCHorn, Texas' players wore maroon caps in honor of Virginia Tech.

Augie

well, Nebraskans love to hate Augie Garrido. Apparently the only way out of the visitor's dugout is to walk down the base line, so last night when Augie got thrown out, he had to walk out in front of the crowd.

Loving to taunt that wonderful SOB, the 'left-right-left-right' cheer was going strong when Augie stopped abruptly, leaving Huskers fans laughing.

Go Big Red Nebraska!

just so you know

It's 'Hawks Field' at Haymarket Park.

Everyone's a booster, aren't they? How many different field names are there?

I can't believe you guys

y'all have one of the best teams in the nation in baseball.

Do you guys pay attention to this stuff at all? Sad if you don't, but being as spoiled as you are by big name sports, I can understand.

BTW, Nebraska coach Mike Anderson thrown out today.

bastards

i wondered

about that.

I thought I'd got it wrong.

Wrong you say? Admit it? Yes I can!

I've been married about 18 years now. Every morning I wake up, I say "You're right. I'm sorry" just to get it out of the way.

thanks for giving a damn.

A friend of mine called me Friday night (from the game) and asked the question - "What is the average height of Texas' baseball team?" because he was sure you're all larger than life.

hope we win today.

Augie

I have to laugh everytime I see a Husker fan mention their dislike for Augie. Get over it. With all the thuggery that coach Tom lived with in trade for victories I wouldn't throw stones if I was of the corn brother/sisterhood.

you're a twit

aren't you?

it isn't dislike. it's a fun hate you bloody moron, you complete shit for brains, imbecillic boob.

Augie Garrido is a wonderful coach, probably the best in college baseeball and a complete bastard. He uses every twist he can to get an edge. He screws with everyone. I wish I could publish most of the stories I have about him, but I cannot at request of people who are close to the program.

ah, thuggery. as if someone could thrown stones at another program - you of cro-magnon descent.

Perhaps you should go out this off-season of football and ask yourself why you don't go on any many dates or ever get to kiss a girl.

It's because women don't find you fun, you taking life too seriously and all that.

Laugh, twit boy. Husker fans love the man probably more than Texans. We love all things college sports related. Why? Because we're more pure than you. :)

have a nice Sunday.
