****Official Texas vs UNLV Game 2 Thread****

[Johnstark23]

Agree 100%. Let your big dogs eat. Especially with a 5-1 lead.

This early in the year build some confidence. Tres has a chance to make it 8-1 there. I would let him try. Of course I have 2000 less wins than AG

Texas has already used 9 arms I believe this weekend. Augie wasn't lying. They are gonna try to give 12 guys innings this weekend.
