That is all...

 

[tejas77]

Must admit half of me wanted the team to play away based on how they play away from home.

So only 3 Top 8 seeds made it through? Parity is alive and well in college baseball I see.

Nice!

 

[georgecostanza]

Dammit. I wanted to attend the games.

 

[84 Horn]

dang it, wanted this in htown

 

[Texanne]

I find the most gratifying part of the Super Regional slate is that only two SEC teams made it through, whereas four Big12 teams are still playing.

Boo-yah!

I will be on a mission trip in Mexico, so you'd better cheer long and loud for me, boyzo!

 

[accuratehorn]

Ticket information? A lot of people, no names mentioned, did not order regional or super regional tickets, believing the events would not be held in Austin.
I will be trying UT at 9 a.m.

 

[Brad Austin]

Got em through Texas Sports site. Really good seats available still at 8:15a when purchased

 

[HausFrau]

So excited that I get to watch UT baseball one more time this year. So sad that the games are 3:00, 1:00 & 1:00 right in the heat of the day. Thank you NCAA and TV. Lots and lots of water.

 

[Orangeblood]

THANK YOU U OF H FOR NOT SUBMITTING A SUPER REGIONAL BID (until Monday morning, far past the deadline)!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[WorsterMan]

DFF will be rockin' for the Horns this weekend!!!

 

[Brad Austin]

Hope Augie lets them swing away at home like he does on road. I def notice a shortened swing at home to accommodate the deeper park. Just let em swing naturally and with power. They hit better that way. A 50 point greater average on road in NOT coincidence.

 

[utempire]

Got tickets. Houston must be pretty good thrashing lsu like that. Look forward to the series. Hook Em!!!

 

[Handler XIII]

Need a reason to see the new stadium in Omaha, come on Horns!

 

[accuratehorn]

I eventually got tickets from the Texas Sports site. I had a lot of trouble finding information because it kept saying no info available for baseball tickets.
I finally figured out the problem: if you sign in as a foundation member, you get the no information page for baseball. If you sign in as a member of the general public, you get the link to order super regional tickets.
I think it is now sold out.
That was a very frustrating experience. The ticket office put me on hold until the tickets were sold out, as well, but I expected to be able to use the freakin' website.
Typical computer snafu.

Or Collie Station. Sad story.

 

[accuratehorn]

Can you imagine the team from Charleston landing in Lubbock? The shock produced could necessitate a team psychologist for counseling.

 

[WorsterMan]

Lubuttocks shocking - yes?

But what about our Big XII brothers in Norman and the Lil' Apple? What about them - shocking they are not on the big dance floor, what will they do this weekend?

 

[old65horn]

Understand that UofH has a really good pitching staff, maybe the best we have faced.

 

[Wishbonemac]

I predict the law of averages takes over and that UH's ERA will RISE this weekend.

I'm feeling good things about the first baseman's hitting too. It's going to be a personal thing for him and I think he'll lash the ball.
