*sigh*


I seem to be sighing a lot lately...


Well, the Longhorns didn't make it out of the regional playoff again this year. I know our expectations are probably too high year after year as fans... Omaha or bust dammit! Had a great weekend of tailgating and baseball out at the Dell Diamond though - right up through the massive thunderstorm that hit Sunday night to help postpone the agony... Texas finished their last game on Monday. The storm caused the game to be called in the bottom of the 7th on Sunday so they resumed on Monday.
I think they will have many new faces on the team next year - several seniors will of course be gone, but also the MLB draft is tomorrow. Some of the juniors or any 21 year olds on the squad could get a good enough offer to go pro. Kyle Russell and Bradley Suttle are two that come to mind - they are not juniors, but either are or will be 21 within 10 days after the draft. Kyle Russell is the NCAA Division I leader in homeruns.

Hook 'em horns... 8 months to go for the start of next season!! :-)

The brown bears of Brown University

Yup, an Ivy League school that ventured to TPT Texas for some baseball! They showed a lot of heart.


The line ups


The Dell Diamond

It's also worth mentioning that while the Disch has squeezed in almost 8,000 crazy fans... I believe we hit 10,000 at the Diamond! Wonder when the last time was that the Express drew that kind of crowd?


These clouds let loose a few short minutes after this photo
