Matt,

Oregon St has the following record:

Overall: 38-16-1

Conference: 19-10-1

I think the press releases have a typo on their overall record, as I've seen this in more than one place as 38-6-1.  Just a heads up.

Also of note, they are 5-3 in Neutral Site games.

When you lose 10 conference games, it's tough to go 38-6-1. Thanks for the heads-up - that's what I get for relying on disseminated info!

The weekend forecast in Grand Prairie is not exactly ideal baseball weather. Lots of rain/storms projected to go through the area.

The Horns practice early tomorrow afternoon and play the early game on Friday. It looks like both of those times will be okay in terms of weather. But the late game on Friday (DBU vs VCU) could be impacted & Saturday's game also have a chance to be affected.

The weather gods were very kind in Tulsa - there were no significant delays. Will they continue to favor the area?

DFW is getting pounded again with rain right now.  I believe that Horner is a turf infield with a grass OF.  Supposedly it drains extremely well.
