Good news is Fox is out of the way, and Ditman might be done for the series. We need to win the double header and we are set up nicely with Hollingsworth pitching on Sunday. You always want to win, but there's no doubt Skip was conserving arms in that first game.

WP: Fox

LP: Clemens

Joeyway would you agree that Texas has arguably the toughest schedule in the country? 

Rice, Stanford and Nebraska on the road. A pretty good San Diego team at home. That's just nonconference. The Big 12 has 4 teams in the top 10 in most preseason polls. 

Texas will lose some games this year but our RPI should be pretty good based on the competition.

Off the top of my head, yes.  I would say that it's easily top 5.  I'd need to do some further research.  That's what was so funny about the ESPN Preseason baseball poll not having Texas listed.
