NCAA Day 3 Thread: Get Back, JoJo!

in Texas Longhorns Baseball
Email
PrintThe Longhorns have a chance to get back to where they once belonged today with a revenge game over the St. John's Red Storm, winners of Friday's 2-to-freaking-1 back-stabbing and 'you-do-not-tempt-the-baseball-gods' heartbreaker. You're invited to grumble along as we work for a chance to face Rice, 6 innings of Chance Ruffin later. For the record, Kirk Bohls agrees with me about Chance Ruffin. (Yes, Kirk, even though we're mad at you , we're not the kind of mad where we can't admit that we agree about some things, no, not that mad.) Let's beat these guys 21-2, so's we can be all like "There's your two runs, motherf&$#er!"
Game starts at 2pm. There are a billion ways for you to watch it on video, but none of them work except for commenter amorphous, so crank up the KVET and start your search for stats/video here.
[Note by 40AS, 06/01/08 10:56 AM CDT ] Not sure how this hasn't been mentioned, but with two homers yesterday, KYLE RUSSELL TIED THE ALL-TIME TEXAS CAREER RECORD!!! Kyle has 17 on the year, bringing him to 55 total for his career (if our math is correct), matching Jeff Ontiveros' four-year total. Considering Kyle probably won't be back next year, it's time to cheer really hard for one more home run to break the record.

Austin Wood?
Is Wood on the mound? No reason Texas can’t beat Rice with Wood on the mound. Also, once we get late in the tourney, there shouldn’t be anybody with a whole pitching staff…should be fun and hopefully last a few more days.
Video where?
I could use some help finding just one of the video feeds. DirecTV has soccer on FSN and the Rangers on the alternate. The TexasSports thing tries to install something that bombs out apparently because it is missing. ESPN just has the legos.
So where should I go?
Before you criticize someone, walk a mile in their shoes. If they get mad, you're a mile away AND you have their shoes.
Click on the link in the post above...
Previously they’ve put up a “watch” link next to the Texas-St. John’s game near gametime. Other than that, I can’t really help you. I gave up and am just listening to the radio.

Try this for video
First, you must use internet explorer, firefox will not work with this site.
Go to
Either sign in or make an account to watch.
I think that link takes you to the original St. Johns feed, so click up top on expand menu and it will show a listing of the games available on the right. Click “Watch Free” (Will have Live in between those two words when live) next to the Texas/St Johns matchup.
If you want to make it bigger click the button on the player that shows a little box inside of a bigger box.
Yesterday it overlayed the Craig Way broadcast over the video (It’s kind of amusing because when the radio station goes to commercial, the video still broadcasts their sound so you can hear their behind-the-scenes talk when they think noone can hear them”)
That said, I’m driving back to Austin today so I’ll probably be listening on radio :(

Guess the link didn’t work

If you have the “Green Screen of Doom,” the “Red Ring of Death’s” slightly less problematic cousin, there are correction instructions in the St Johns open thread.
Double header day! WHOOOOOOO!
Works fine -- thanks

Oh, Kirk
Texas won a baseball game Saturday.
But the Longhorns may have lost a regional in the process.
I thought we lost the entire regional on Friday, no?
You guys hate us a little...
... I guess I get it, since we upset you several times early on in the XII, but I can’t remember hating Nebraska. Maybe you feel about us like we feel about… hmm… what team would be a good analogy? I can’t come up with one. How do you feel about us?

Andrew Oliver
By now, I’m sure we all know that he was declared ineligible without explanation (other than it wasn’t for grades or breaking team rules) for Okie St yesterday – when he was supposed to start – which is kind of bad considering he’s their ace. I’ve been to lazy to dive into the rulebook to figure out the extent of how likely the explanation “agent involvement” is, but there is a comprehensive explanation here.
Curious, Oklahoma State claimed this would not result in them forfeiting games, so it must have begun recently.
For those w/o video
The pitcher is a lefty, and on several of those pitches he dropped down to nearly a sidearm delivery.
Florida St is getting their revenge on Bucknell
Up 18-6 in the 7th.
Plus, everyone saw the 12 spot aTm put up against Houston in the 7th on their way to a 22-4 win (on 16 hits)?
Video quality is like...
Monet painting with his own shit. Feel free to add your own simile.

Moldy strikes out in the dirt...
... probably just looked ugly because of this video.
--Horn Brain--
The best part is you can't possibly tell how hard the ball is coming off the bat.
As for the trajectory? No real chance either.
Holy crap!
Torres pops one up a mile, then the CF overruns the ball about 20 feet, loses it, and Torres is at freakin’ THIRD.
--Horn Brain--
Holy crap...
Nebraska down 4-0 to Oral Roberts in the 4th! That’s an elimination game! Come on Corn, get it together.

Center fielder is the new Byron Wiley...
Was that his name? I’ll check…

Easy DP.
Come on, Texas
Runner on with 2 outs again, dumpy grounder to end the inning again. Let’s get some baserunners with

Inning over pretty quickly.
Wood hits second batter but gets two K’s and a ground ball out to end the inning.

Danks singles to Byron Wiley...
Runner on first with no outs, Russell at bat, bunting. 1-0 St. John’s, top 6th
--Horn Brain--
Shit Danks caught stealing
Russell HBP, Clark gets a single. Runners at 1 and 2 with one out.
--Horn Brain--
What happened to clark?
If Belt doubled and someone’s on third, where the hell is clark?
--Horn Brain--
Moldy lines out to Byron Wiley .nt whills
Damn, need to score at least three to beat these guys.
--Horn Brain--
If Byron Wiley ever Googles himself
and gets the Championship game thread he will probably cry himself to sleep.
I freaking called this one! (ish)
My convo with Jeff from 40AS:
me: please, Kyle. This would be a good time to make history
That counts, right?
--Horn Brain--
the way Kyle's ben hitting the past two games
I’m not sure that counts.

horns looking solid
I’m sitting right next to the st john dugout. We look sharp on defense and kyle Russell maybe a SC catch out in right to go along with his HR that wouldve surely hit a car on University St if it weren’t for the scoreboard.

If Rupp is even slightly dinged
Why not pinch run then sub Emsley-Pai? He can’t be that much of a step down defensively (although I’ve only seen him play a couple of innings). If we win, we have another game. Can’t lose our catcher to a slight injury that he aggravates on the basepaths.
yes
I’m the guy in the third row whose burnt orange tshirt looks like wet rag. F, its hot out here.

whos on the mound tonight?
and tomorrow if we win?
by the other Andrew on Jun 1, 2008 4:43 PM CDT reply actions
I believe they said Boening tonight...
... and Ruffin will probably make his third appearance in three days tomorrow if we get there.
--Horn Brain--
Boening tonight, Kasparek tomorrow
Augie said before today’s game that Ruffin would only be used as a reliever for the rest of regionals.
Pretty sure not.
FSNSW is only showing A&M’s regional from what I know. Same old, shmame old.
--Horn Brain--
NEW THREAD ALERT!
Don’t want to scare anyone away who wasn’t watching the St. John’s game, so we’re moving over to another thread effective immediately. I know, 400 comments would have been cool, but this one has the Bee Gees!
