The baseball team travels to Norman tonight for the first of a three game set against the Sooners. Tonight's game is scheduled for 6:30, with a 2:00 start tomorrow and a 1:00 start on Sunday.
Texas badly needs to take 2 of 3 from Oklahoma, and a sweep would be downright joyful. One crazy idea that's been rolling through our minds is the thought of moving Preston Clark to 3B. After his performance on Wednesday, Augie said he'd have to consider it. Just something to look for this weekend.
Also, a cool toy is available over at Corn Nation which allows you to compare pitching and hitting throughout conference play. One interesting note is that the only team getting nearly the same number of walks and strike outs is your very own Texas Longhorns.
