Horns fail to make the NCAA Tournament for first time since 1998

The selection committee announced the field today and Texas was not in it. This marks the first time in 15 years the Longhorns are not playing in a regional.

Thoughts? What is the fallout, if anything?

I have to say I am not upset. They played their way out of the tournament and if they had squeaked in they would have been ousted quickly.

After the 2005 National Championship the team took a few years dip. They went to the College World Series last year and in 2009. Making Omaha is the accomplishment, after that it is a crap shoot.

They will reload and come back next season. Hook Em

Next season will be much better. We have some weight to shed this offseason and I am optimistic that the new leadership with some of our younger players becoming upperclassmen, along with the fresh blood, will be a recipe for success next year.

When Texas does not play in the NCAA baseball tournament there is something wrong. Is Augie Garrido's job in jeopardy?

Augie's job is secure - we might need to rethink an assistant coach though. It'll be interesting to see what all happens this off season. There's nothing the coaching team could do to keep the perfect storm of injuries from happening, but they sure didn't manage to inspire much of a whimper out of the remaining players very often.

Regardless of all the pundits and folks trying to take cheap shots at our team for missing the tournament, HOOK 'EM HORNS! Always the best, second to NONE.
