Horns Going Back To Omaha Celebration Thread!

Horns win 5-2! Taylor Jungmann was brilliant for six innings and Kevin Keyes brought just enough power to return the Horns to the College World Series for the 33rd time overall and first since 2005. We can (and will) talk more about the road ahead for a title run, but for now enjoy the victory. The Horns are going back to where they belong, the season has been validated, Texas baseball is back.

Back home in Omaha!

Your pretty quick 40AS

"I don't ever miss free throws. I'm like 100-percent from the free throw line. I just don't think about missing and if you think about missing you're going to miss. I just take my time and know I'm going to make it and I do," McClellan said.

I am pretty sure that is the reason they scored 2 runs

But a win is a win!

Outstanding!!

I stayed far away from the stadium today, just to be safe. Happy to see it end well. Congrats ‘Horns! Let’s win number seven!

If anyone knows where to buy a:

“Keep Austin Wood”

or

“Wood 1:69”

I’d love to hear it

out of the wasteland...

and into the middle of Nebraska

Eastern Nebraska actually.

Right across the border from Iowa — a lot of Nebraska isn’t much to look at, but the area around Omaha is actually kinda pretty, especially if you’ve been driving east.

just got back from game

Why the hell can we beat Louisiana Monroe in Football this September and the tower will be orange on top while in baseball, we win win a regional and a super regional to go to college world series and no lighting of tower?

This is wrong!

CWS Schedule

Pairings & Game Times

We get CWS Virgin Ole Miss at 5pm Sunday, then if we win we face the winner of UNC and ASU at the same timeslot on Tuesday.

A question for the baseball gurus…. Do we go with our usual pitching sequence, or would Augie consider switching Green and Ruffin given the higher priority of the Tuesday game?

Playing the Golden Eagles, not the Rebels.

Oops. Hadn’t had my coffee yet. Thanks for catching that. Wish there was a way to edit comments!

Interesting thought

Although the way Green’s been throwing he may be the hottest pitcher in the rotation. Probably a pretty good chance of Green throwing first followed by Ruffin and (hopefully) Jungmann.

by 40AS on Jun 9, 2009 6:36 AM CDT up reply actions  

So if Green is the hottest pitcher in the rotation wouldn’t you save him for UNC or ASU in the second game?

Ruffin has been the most consistent, he's clearly the ace

Although with the way Green’s throwing, plus Jungmann’s potential and the depth of Workman/Dicharry/Wood, all before even getting to questionable pitching is just incredible

by 40AS on Jun 9, 2009 4:48 PM CDT up reply actions  

And the game time is actually 6 PM

The times announced will all be Central because Omaha is in the Central time zone.

by bassale47 on Jun 9, 2009 6:51 AM CDT up reply actions  

Another oops. I just assume typical ESPN East Coast bias.
