Texas vs Minnesota ***Game 1 Thread (FRI-6 PM CST)***

[joeywa]

Late to the party but got to say that is great dedication my friend.

There will be a few games that I just won't be able to get to this season, but when I can swing, I will get 'em done!

I wasn't paying attention, but it didn't look like Barrera attempted to bunt there. That's a little bit interesting.
