Take One
I'm taking a break from French Open Coverage. Yeah, I watch tennis. So? C'est bon! During my break, I used Nickel's blueprint and broke into Cubicle a la Carnivale and found a note from Sailor. I think it read, "Why are you here?", but can't be sure because it was written in hieroglyphs. I was...
Bad News Bill
Uncredentialed Barking Carnival correspondent Fake Ken Tremendous returns and marks the occasion by getting in his dreamwagon and doing donuts on Bill Little's lawn. - S.R. Just when I think I'm going to get a break from my mean-spirited criticism of Bill Little's cornpone musings, the...
Texas-LSU CWS Series A Ratings Hit For ESPN
The final game of the best 2-of-3 series for the College World Series Championship may not have been close, but the buildup was good enough to give ESPN three of the four highest-rated CWS games ever. The three-game series for the National Championship grew in numbers with each game, until it...
Texas Longhorns Baseball: Looking Back, Looking Forward
Texas’ two biggest strengths coming into the College World Series were pitching and defense. They had carried a rather anemic offense throughout the year. If you had told me before the series started that Texas would hit fourteen homeruns, I would have told you that we would win it. I never would...
College World Series: Final Game - Horns / Tigers
Huck is going to be late. HenryJames may add some commentary. Please feel free to comment below. - S.R. I get home form work, cut the tv on and the very first thing I see is a three home run by LSU. Damn. Green got the first two guys before hitting the 3rd batter and then allowing a...

The National Championship on the Line Right Here
This one's for all the marbles. It all comes down to this. Winner takes all. To help tide us over until gametime and get through the workday, here are some videos of the runups and the final games of our athletic department's last three chances to take home a national championship with one more...
Texas evens series
Before pitching the deciding game against TCU in the super regional, Taylor Jungmann was asked about his nerves. "Nerves? I don't get nervous, man," he said. Apparently not. He’s been fantastic the whole series (6 pitches last night excluded), and he was brilliant last night. He stayed down and...
CWS: Texas vs. LSU Game Two Thread
It's raining. First pitch scheduled for around 7:43 Central as of now. Ms. Andrews is sporting a more colorful ensemble this evening and the game is still scheduled to go off in around 5 minutes. As reported, Austin Ross will start for the Tigers. He has nice peripherals but a bad ERA and batting...
CWS: Texas vs. LSU Game One Thread
I am now home and will catch up quickly on DVR. Ms. Andrews reports that LSU fans outnumber Texas fans. We are officially doomed. My kingdom for a left-handed starter, by the way. LSU is a left-handed hitting team and has struggled, relatively speaking, against lefties this year. I guess we'll...
