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

Texas squeaks by St. John's 4-3 in a nail-biter, and now Riley Boening will start the game against Rice at 6pm.  Lost in the drama of the final out was Kyle Russell breaking the Texas all-time career HR record.  Wooo!  Let's hope Kyle and friends keep things rolling tonight, because I don't think Rice has any gaping holes in, say, left field for us to fill with doubles.  If Texas can take this game, we'll face Rice again tomorrow for a trip to the supers.  First thing's first, though.  Stay alive tonight:

Completely unnecessary.

Good Pitching!

So far So good, Lusson. Keep it up!

Lusson starting in LF

Moldenhauer got hurt in the last game. Boening is the pitcher. Confusing announcement above.

Damnit

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

This is weird.

And sad. C’mon ‘Horns

more sad than weird

because a loss represents the end to Texas athletics until August 31st

VY ruined me.

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.

Welcome to football season! I encourage you all do what I do the next few weeks- buy every college football book and preview you can find coming out in the next few weeks and hunker down in the basement to research and study up for the coming season! Phil Steele comes out soon! When is the Texas Preview coming out that PB was working on?

by SaintBevo on Jun 1, 2008 9:43 PM CDT reply actions   0 recs

well

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.
