perhaps, but nobody on UT's roster has ever won a game in Omaha and only a handful were there in '11. There might be some puckering all around.

So many people seem to miss this fact. The only experienced person on the Texas roster is the guy leading the dugout.
That gives the Horns a major advantage, IMO, but it's not 34 times greater.

Good article breaking down the teams in the CWS.
Kendall Rogers thinks the favorite is Virginia. Followed by Ole Miss, Vanderbiltt and TCU. Granted, he's an Aggy and has been picking against Texas all year.

I'm going to defend Kendall here, he might be an aggy but he is the best in the county at what he does.

Numerous people have tweeted that they've only seen 1 homer in batting practices so far. Winning this thing might require small ball.

Augie was just asked if he ran anyone off during the fall. His response, "Yeah I ran off one little bastard, son of a bitch was named entitled."
Augie has reached the point in his career where he says what we wants. Hilarious, has no filter whatsoever.
