NCAA Day 3 Thread Part 2: There Is No Byron Wiley

Hi-larious. I will rec anything that mentions Byron Wiley.

Just play like it on March 11… Hook’em!

/all week

So far So good, Lusson. Keep it up!

Stay out of trouble, but if you find yourself in it, get out fast.

Now let’s try out the other outfielders.

Let’s make some scores early in the game!

Byron Wiley? Is that you?

Run scores and Clark is hurt bad.

should be a strike

pitching 30 pitches an inning.

Going to have to hit our way out of this one.

like really limping.

C’mon Offense! Let’s make some scores!

McCrory (sp) hitting for him.

We need to explode for a bunch and hope for no errors.

Less of first two innings.

This… will be difficult.

... hold on to your ass, gentlemen.

Let’s go offense!

what can i say

We get a second chance to win this game.

KTRU said the wind was blowing in from left earlier. Kyle Russell must be made of PURE POWER.

Then Workman hits the next batter.

2 out

We are not worthy.

Tucker. good call austintx

a basehit

... but alas.

We’re getting a fresh start in a five inning game.

Tough play.

I’m forced to peruse my favorite YouTube videos in between innings.

You were working as a football coach in Michigan…

Thank You Know Who.

Rice 3|7|2
Good Guys 3|3|0

... with a side of rally.

I like leadoff singles!

but the home plate ump is named Mark Chapman.

Let’s scores another 3!

Kicking dirt on the plate? Love it.

Let’s get something out of that drop.

That’s fine, Belt has a bat, too.

Don’t strike out, either.

just FYI

thank you!

I have never seen a pitch knock the catchers glove off.

Takes first pitch for a strike.

let’s capitalize base loaded

At least he hit it.

what a deflator.. Keep it up D!

Keep this thing close

Please get these outs.

Dude had 4 SBs all year – now with 3 today?

I walk away to mess with the dog and we’re changing pitchers and losing again.

Great play!

the look to 3rd throw to 1st works! appx success rate 0.000000001%.

... let’s score 10 runs in this inning! That’s a great coaching move.

If I could just delay it for 10 seconds It’d be great. Nice hit! WHAT A RUN, TUCKER! TIE THE GAME!

We’ll take it all : )

Weather report from Hell: Cloudy, 30 degrees.

Torres at the plate, Lusson at second.

let’s steal the base!

Evening the playing field by knocking you down.

Danks and the bunting today?

Just don’t ever do it again.

No way Augie tells him to bunt, he’s a junior and a team leader who thought he could get it done…didn’t work

Think I need to watch that video again, just to get a smile back on my face. If you can’t laugh at grown, non-baseball-playing men in tight white pants, you can’t laugh at anything.

(Do you think their voices were so high because of said pants?)

not a good way to start the inning … one batter HBP, another walked. Yikes on toast.

Hit and run scores a run. And here’s another run scored. I’m going to say F!

... the tight white pants.

the two out squeeze was inappropriate.

We’re at 400+ comments on Texas baseball today

we need to stop the bleeding here.. C’mon Defense!

Torres removed from the game, Belt is pitching. F at removing Torres.

he had the play at home, easy

in the bottom half

then shepherd then hernandez i thnk

LET’S GO OFFENSE!!!!

8 more outs to score 3 runs

Tant is OPSing > 1.200

I’m missing the significance of the Byron Wiley reference. Please advise.

TEXAS! FIGHT!!

More error, please.

w/ errors

10 LOB thru 7

4 runs on 5 errors. 3 from our masher who later bunted.

This is weird.

And sad. C’mon ‘Horns

I used to be much better at accepting looming losses. Because of VY, I’m always looking for the magic pull-it-out win … in all the sports. I must un-brainwash myself. Baseball just don’t work that way.

Gahhh I’m dyyiiiiingg!

Holy crap, this is ridiculous.

NO FREAKING SQUEEZE PLAY. HIT BALL HARD!

says Ruffin was warming up last inning

Just what we needed. Not an automatic out.

Cover your eyes.

Get on base.

Johnny #5 alive.

3 outs between us and the offseason. Come on, Texas.

3 more outs

... sigh…

I hate real life

Why not? Who needs a sophomore season?

Freaking stud. Don’t lose the game, offense.

Someone needs to stand up for the offense!

Come on, Tant, get on base.

Maybe that is why I can’t lose weight

We need another hit, and then another one, and then like three thousand homeruns.

How’s my math?

cmon texas. i wanna watch some more good baseball. the rangers fall very short of that. haha

But YKW gets on.

Double play and we go home.

It wasn’t meant to be….:( Good game Rice….You win in spite of one BILLION errors.

Sucks to be ol’ what’s his face today.

In hindsight, wasn’t it only like six weeks ago that we were questioning if we were going to make the 64?

and we can’t get out of the regional. WTF??

as a texas fan i expect nothing less than a national championship in every sport year after year. but i still cant say this season was a total dissapointment. we had a young team, and after showing many moments of mediocracy, they came back and wowed us with a big 12 tourney championship, the #2 seed in the Houston Regional, and finshing 2nd in the regional (which is becoming a theme) to a good Rice team.
so i say lets imrove upon this next year.

its been too long since the Horns have been in the CWS

Over 350 comments on just this post! By far the biggest thread baseball has ever had. Would have approached, if not passed 500 comments if I hadn’t split the thread for the final game. Wow.
