Texas-Boston College Game Thread

I'm signing off for the night.

Glad to have shared the moment with you guys...It was truly a special game with a pitching performance for the ages.

See yall tomorrow!

Hook'em!!!!

I thought they said Army plays the loser of this game which would be BC. I hope they play BC. Our guys deserve a well earned rest.
 
Pulled out my white Longhorn cap in the 26th inning and it paid off! I'll be wearing that sucker all day tomorrow. Church included!
 
This makes up for that looooong UT/Rice game I sat through years ago - way to go Horns! What heart, courage, cujones, whatever you want to call it. Never give up!

I do feel a little sorry for Boston College. They don't deserve having to play at noon after this game. I have a lot of respect for their team, too. But the better team won!
 
I'm so stoked I'm going to stay up and watch the post game press conference. It's the least I can do. I want to hear what Augie has to say about Wood's pitching.
 
Nice post game comments from BC coach. The closer who went 9 2/3 said it was all adrenaline and that he actually got strength from playing in front of a great crowd.
 
Augie also mentioning how disappointing it was to leave so many runners in scoring position but that team kept their energy level up through it all.
 
Again, for anyone who missed this game and skipped to the end of this thread: Wood turned in the single greatest college pitching performance that most of us--Augie included--have ever seen. He had a no-no through 11-plus innings of relief work and finished with 13 scoreless innings of two-hit, four-walk and 14-strikeout baseball. I think his final pitch count was 169.

And, as a team, Ruffin, Wood and Dicharry combined for the single greatest pitching effort I've ever witnessed at any level: two runs on eight hits, six walks and 20 strikeouts through TWENTY-FIVE INNINGS.
 
augie said the last player he saw strike out 7 times in a game was ray charles?

even better, tucker laughed.

not many kids would even get that now.
 
Pitching 16 consecutive innings when ONE run would lose the game, is something that I don't think anybody will ever see again at any level of baseball .. EVER. It is not going to happen.

We just saw it. What an incredible show.

Good night all of you. Glad to have been here, and watching it live. History. Go Horns.
