Spring Sundry
As Rick Barnes knows all too well, and Charlie Sheen will soon find out, #winning can turn into #losing very quickly. But don't let that stop you from going on a one month bender, Brickhorn. Or just picking up and moving to Switzerland like Toadvine. After losing three of the last four conference...
Cole Green, Tant Shepherd To Return To Longhorn Baseball
As expected, we lost Chance Ruffin and Brandon Workman , but the return of Cole Green and Tant Shepherd is salve on the departure wounds. Shepherd hit .337 last year to lead the team in batting average and he'll be a strong stabilizing force for next year's young offense. Cole Green, the Big 12...
Fait Accompli
History shows that overwhelming favorites typically win. Ask the Christians about the Lions. Ask a sorority girl about the freshman 15. Ask the Big 12 baseball coaches about the Longhorns in 2010. So, on Saturday when the Texas baseball team used a 17-2 blistering of Kansas State to clinch the...
Husker Baseball Season Begins Against Texas
The Husker baseball team kicks off the real season this weekend as Big 12 conference play begins against the highly-ranked Texas Longhorns.

Wait 'Til Next Year
It's a refrain more worthy of a Chicago Cubs fan than a Longhorn baseball fan. As Augie Garrido says repeatedly, Omaha is the minimum expectation for his baseball team. His statements explain the massive disappointment felt by fans after Wednesday's loss to LSU in the CWS Finals, even though the...
Regional Mints New Longhorn Heroes
"The prudent see only the difficulties, the bold only the advantages, of a great enterprise; the hero sees both; diminishes the former and makes the latter preponderate, and so conquers." -Johann Kasper Levater, Swiss theologian. The post-season: a time for heroes Every deep post-season run in any...
Morning Coffee Is Ready To Play Whack-A-Gopher
Horns get good draw. Or, according to Chip Brown ($), a "dream draw." Minnesota doesn't have an efficient offense and is the best match up for the Longhorns of all the 10 seeds -- avoiding USC, Michigan, and Maryland, all teams that could cause problems for the 'Horns. Trips Right likes Texas...
