Looking for an edge?

Ok this may not seem like much but i feel one edge we have is this team has been tested, pushed and pressured all year. From at the plate to on the mound. Now take this edge into a tight game with LSU who has not once been pressured in this series and when push comes to shove ill lay my money on the horns. See how there pitching can hold up in a tie game where one pitch can make the difference. Just a thought.

The edge is that we haven't been told we are the best team in the history of civilized mankind and we are going to dog stomp every team that we play. Believe it or not, I like where we are. We still haven't played a near perfect game in Omaha. We've been tested. We know how to bounce back from adversity. LSU has won their last thirteen games. If nothing else, the odds are in our favor that LSU is going to have a let down. Let's see how they react when something doesn't go in their favor.
 
Have they even trailed in the CWS? That might be your first indicator, how do they respond when they get behind?
 
Coaching and starting pitching (team ERA) are the biggest edges Texas has. LSU may have the edge in just about every other category.
 
Has the girl that had the burnt orange hair at the game like she was the last time we were there? She would be a few years older now and maybe doesn't do it anymore but it was sure nice to see her support.
 
Bill...During the USM game they did show three girls sitting in the stands with their hair done like that. I don't know if one of them was the same girl but one looked like she could have been.
 
GTOAT has been down for 1/2 an inning in Eauxmaha. This is my main sly point to make to Tiggah as they call me Tigah Bait. They've been slurpin' puddin' through a straw and we've been putting everything into play to get through three TOUGH games. To beat us, they're going to have do some chewin'.

Kinda like '04 when we skateboarded into the Championship Series and were thinking we were golden since CSF had had to struggle and burn pitching.

Not so much...

We'll see you there, Tigger. Bring your gorillas, we'll bring little bitty Augieball and take our chances.
