*******Official Super Regional Ass whip Thread*******

Nice 3 run shot over RF. Should have been a grand slam but ref made piss poor call on a full count.
3-2 TX up
 
Great freaking base running. With 2 outs, runner on second, our runner suckers the Catcher into throwing to second-- he was WAY off the bag. He ends up stealing 3rd

Next pitch, the pitcher short hops a curve that gets past the catcher and we score.

8-4

Let's hope for the best today and the Horns get the bats going. Texas is now hitting .108 against Top 25 teams this season. The kid that Tennessee is throwing today looks like he'll be hard to hit off of.

Whats this crap you took the time to post! 8-4 win bye bye Tennessee! Let's keep going!

Hook 'Em
 
If you're interested VA is ahead 4/0 top of the third. So far they've already gotten 6 hits which is more than we got in 9. Long way to go however.
 
Any idea why Tenn coach got tossed, missed it. Heaven forbid the ump was making ball/strike errors!!

Had a hissy fit after a questionable walk. Ump was quick to the trigger though. Unfortunately coach proceeded to lose cool and then looked like a fool on national TV. And Ump got some face time on camera which was his intent I think.
 
Witt threw a great game after Stevens didn’t have it today. He’s gonna be a stud starter next year.
 
I’m just glad we didn’t go 2 and BBQ.

Virginia pitcher has a no hitter going against MSU in the 7th.

He's in the 8th still no hits and only 1 walk.

Mississippi State has given up 10 hits walked but has only 5 strikeouts

Well isn't that interesting?
 
Wow. No hits until the 8th, and now UVA’s falling apart. MSU with two bombs in the 8th to take the lead. 5-4
 
I can't see Texas losing to Virginia on Thursday. If we beat UVA, you know that MSU will throw their stud pitcher against Texas on Friday, and the Horns have to beat MSU twice. As the saying goes, one game at at time.
