A bartender who had season tickets just gave my parents and @Blanton l and 4 free tickets to the game. Just a truly special game all around. While we’re walking down memory lane, here’s how we won that regional.

Lengthy article on fan reaction to the cancelled season with quotes from Scott Wilson and Marc Pena. But will highlight the best fan. Has to be a Surly member's child ? Note the sunglasses on the cap and wrist tape. 🙂
A few weeks ago, Gus Armbruster had planned on celebrating his seventh birthday at UFCU Disch-Falk Field.
A UT baseball game would have been the perfect setting for a birthday party for Gus, who is one of the Longhorns’ biggest — and at the same time, smallest — fans. One year ago, he turned six while watching Texas lose a 3-0 game to rival Texas Tech. With New Mexico being the scheduled opponent for this birthday weekend this time, Gus was going to root for a better result alongside family, friends and teammates from his coach-pitch team.
Gus, though, never made it to the ballpark that Sunday. Neither did the Longhorns or Lobos. Three days earlier, the NCAA had canceled its spring championships as fears spread about the coronavirus pandemic. The following day, on March 13, UT’s entire baseball season was canceled.
“As the season got canceled, he was just crushed,” said Gus’ father, Jason. “He didn’t understand it.”
Baseball still consumes the life of Gus, who even wore his cleats on a fishing trip this week. His birthday party was moved to his home, but UT pitcher Kamron Fields stopped by and the family of infielder Lance Ford sent cookies. When outside, he has the playlist of the Longhorns’ walk-up songs to use while practicing baseball. While inside, he has recreated the Longhorns for his “MLB The Show 20” video game. His parents even scheduled an online hitting tutorial with former UT infielder Masen Hibbeler.
“He’s ready for 2021,” Jason Armbruster said.
The morning after each of UT’s canceled games, Gus will ask his parents for the result of the Twitter simulation done by UT fan @LanceJNorth. Not surprisingly, a Texas team that was 14-3 on March 13 hasn’t lost a fake game since its season ended.
Is wrong that I’m 27 and have an all 2000’s longhorn cubs team like this kid did? And yes it was before the “quarantine”

Shit, we may have won it all in ‘14 with a reliable closed. Curtiss was filthy, but he had some command issues after that TJ surgery. And of course Peters hurts his arm right as the post season starts. Sigh

Same here, man. I was right by the TCU frat douches too. I never really had an opinion on TCU either way until that series. Between that fuckwad loud mouth douche Purke, their busch league fans and them intentionally dog piling on the Longhorn in center, they can go fuck themselves. And fuck the NCAA for pairing up those 2 teams. Fuck the NCAA in general for their consistent incompetence when it comes to regionals and seeding

That would be awesome. I’d love to see that, but I don’t think it was televised was it? I seem to remember listening to it on the radio, but I could’ve mistaken.
KXAN had like a 3 minute highlight video but can’t find it now. Here’s the go ahead run
Surely some of you assholes were at that game. [mention]Blanton [/mention] and I were there. Fucking unbelievable.
While we’re living in the past, was I the only one that thought Workman should’ve been our closer in 2010 instead of Ruffin. Yeah Ruffin brought that closers mentality Augie loves, but he was a bitch of a Friday night starter and Workman pumped straight fucking gas. Augie always seemed to have a head scratcher a year in regards to team roles, but chances are Augie knows more about baseball than me. Well, not anymore. But back then -
Thanks for the updates. Memory is a little fuzzy and I just kinda forgot how we lost that series. Mind doing an ‘04 Fullerton rewatch and posting the cliff notes here? Same with ‘03 and the Rice games?

A guy I went to high school with has been posting shit like this on Facebook and insta. He’s in his mid 20’s. Jesus fucking Christ. His anti Biden shit is...exactly how you’d expect.

Our ‘14 run and the Clemens brothers highlights are on this dudes YouTube channel https://www.youtube.com/user/DB2Rules

I'm thinking when all get to a new normal, we could sign one hell of a class and add much needed talent to next years team.
And hopefully look more like this-

No. Never. He’s an obnoxious jock sniffer of the highest order who hardly understands the games he calls. That’s a very kind gesture of him, but that doesn’t offset the numerous Texas games he ruins just by running his mouth. And that’s before our teams actually ruin the game with our 10 year stretch of shit

Am I the only one going back and watching those ‘02 and ‘05 CWS highlights along with a few of those 2014 condensed games and whatnot for a UT baseball fix?
-
Well, at least a lot of highlights and full games from the 02-09 run are on YouTube. Same with the ‘14 run. We can just pretend last year never happened and just remember Pierce, Kody and a group of ragtags winning the conference and making it to Omaha.
-
Yeah holy shit. Didn’t think I’d be attending potentially the last game of the year. Glad I went. Crowd was pretty solid for a Wednesday night against a shit hook
-
Is it fair to call these guys pitchers though?

I like this team more and more, still apprehensive a bit, I feel like the team is as well after last season. If they keep fighting, rallying back like they have, more and more pieces will fall into place.
So......I fucking love this team....?

I believe hitting the ball hard will equate to long-term success. However, sometimes the hard-hit ball goes right to a defender. It happens.
Eh, after the last 10 years, making contact at all is refreshing.
