Pretty damn ecstatic to have lucked out on game time. I will be back in BMT from New Braunfels in plenty of time to catch the game. 

Right there with you (well not the BMT part),  flying back cross country from SLC to Atl, so I will be able to watch from 30K.  Going fishing with my Dad  along ID/MT border, about 60 miles south of Canada

I don't care what Andy Williams sings, this is the most wonderful time of the year.  I can't wait for it to get started.

I don't watch professional sports except the Portland timbers  and sometimes Chicago bears.  I of course watch longhorn football and follow college football pretty closely and have the tv on during the fall weekends.    I don't watch pro baseball at all.  Does anyone still play basketball?  No clue.  During the season I follow Texas baseball and love sitting on the porch drinking a beer and listening to baseball broadcast on the radio...   that's it.  Until the regionals...…  I'm glued to the tv and internet for updates for 3-4 weeks. Going to the Rubicon next week otherwise we would be in Omaha this year.

I may have to ask my mom some questions.

To be fair, Tech played like it also forgot it was hosting a SR.

I mean it takes talent to lose by 3 touchdowns in baseball.   Of course pig did the opposite by winning the first game by 3 touchdowns and still losing the series.   At least we got humor out of those clowns.

If we can just pull it out with Ty Madden in game #1 against SECSECSEC look out. Stevens and Hansen will take us to the championship series.

But that first game man, I don't know.

Completely agree. Let’s fucking go, ‘Horns!!! 🤘🏼🤬🤘🏼

Out of all the teams left in the field, we’re the most prepared to come out of the losers bracket due to our pitching and lights out defense. But yeah I think you have to throw your ace game 1. Especially with a guy like stevens who’s difficult to square up on in a pitchers park going game 2. And if shit hits the fan early game 2, Hansen has come out of the bullpen before. I’m sure he can do it again and hold the score and let our lineup do what they do. Chip away. 
 

But it won’t come to that. 1-2-3 top 1st, Antico walk, Daly(or maybe Kennedy)bunt, Zubia single up the middle. Horns take a 1-0 lead early and don’t look back. If that actually happens, I’ll just predict the rest of every Texas baseball game for the rest of my life and we’ll just never lose again I guess.

Everybody seems to agree with me that Ty Madden vs Mississippi State is a key matchup that first weekend.

Funny they never even mention who the MSU pitcher is going to be. Just how Madden will do against their line up....which msudawg informed me is not great...seems to be the focus. Hey our guys hit to....sometimes.

Not to mention Faltine and our outfield have saved us god knows how many runs this season. Finally elite defense is back at Texas. And yeah. Our lineup is tailor made for TD Ameritrade. We’re gonna be just fine
