PrintTexas welcomes its first official conference opponent to the Disch this weekend as Nebraska comes to town. Augie Garrido seems to have settled on a weekend rotation, which is what the beginning of the season is for. Heading into the Big XII slate, Taylor Jungmann, Brandon Workman, and Cole Green are your clear weekend starters. But the big news in terms of starting pitching this weekend is that they won't be appearing in that order; rather, Green will pitch on Saturday while Workman goes on Sunday.
Chance Ruffin has had ice water in his veins as the closer since his rocky beginnings in the opening series of the season against New Mexico, and the middle relief has also been solid--though Ken Carillo, Austin Dicharry, and Stayton Thomas all had somewhat rough outings on Tuesday in the loss to Rice.
The game times are 6 PM/2 PM/12 Noon, and your pitching matchups (via Texas Sports Preview) are:
Friday, March 19, 2010 - 6 p.m. Central
Texas: RHP Taylor Jungmann (2-0, 0.93 ERA)
Nebraska: RHP Casey Hauptman (1-2, 1.96 ERA)
Saturday, March 20, 2010 - 2 p.m. Central
Texas: RHP Cole Green (4-0, 2.59 ERA)
Nebraska: RHP Michael Mariot (1-2, 4.68 ERA)
Sunday, March 21, 2010 - 12 p.m. Central
Texas: RHP Brandon Workman (2-1, 2.81 ERA)
Nebraska: RHP Tom Lemke (3-0, 2.95 ERA)
A few notes on the Huskers after the jump.
Nebraska had a very disappointing season in 2009 after having shared the top of the conference with Texas for several years in a row. The 2010 campaign has not started much better, with big Red coming in this weekend at 8-7 but without having really beaten anyone of note. Their seven losses have come to UCLA, Fresno State, and Rice; their eight wins have come against Nebraska-Kearney, Houston Baptist, South Dakota State, Elon, and Texas A&M-Corpus Christi.
The Huskers' leading hitter is Adam Bailey, who has four dingers and 17 RBI while hitting .412. Two other Nebraska hitters are over .300, and only five players have started at least 13 of their 15 games. This obviously indicates a level of indecision and flux in the Nebraska lineup as coach Mike Anderson searches for the right formula. In other words, it isn't a great time for Nebraska to be coming into UFCUDFF, and the Longhorns should take care of business.

You've got to be kidding me
Stumpy: It's called the '80s. Ford was president, Nixon was in the White House, and FDR was running this country into the ground.
This team refuses to give up
What basketball team?

I was thinking the same thing. Winning like this feels sweet.

We're making it mandatory that you not do the play by play
We win without you. ;)
Like the 25 inning game last year.

Kind of sucks that were playing Rice again next week I dont think we should start Dicharry
I would go with TJ but then again I just pretend to be a coach sitting on my couch watching these games
Yeah I know it looks like im talking to myself, but hey thats what a couple cold ones will do to you.
I’m glad to see that the bats are no longer allergic to hits anymore. The team batting Avg has got to be getting close to .270
Beergutting it up
We’ve all been there during baseball season.
Stumpy: It's called the '80s. Ford was president, Nixon was in the White House, and FDR was running this country into the ground.
Just you wait
Once the tournaments start up, we will have a three thread game. 1000 comments is easy for baseball.
Oh I certainly remember
Of course it doesn’t hurt when it goes to 25 innings
