♦ From Hornfans.com message board:

  • You want that 9 am game. Guarateed start time, cool weather, etc. The late night game is the worst, and AG has tried to avoid it like the plague.
  • Bingo, that game most likely wont start until 9:30. Then the loser has to come back and play the noon game.
  • Not to mention, now, the possiblity of getting shot in Bricktown.

Five Tigers Honored By Big 12 Conference (mutigers.com)
The Mizzou baseball team saw five of its student-athletes honored as the Big 12 Conference announced its 2012 All-Big 12 teams on Tuesday (May 22) in Oklahoma City. Senior reliever Dusty Ross (Iowa Park, Texas) was named to the All-Big 12 second team while Dane Opel (Edwardsville, Ill.), Blake Brown (Normal, Ill.), Ben Turner (St. Charles, Mo.) and Rob Zastryzny (Corpus Christi, Texas) were all named to the All-Big 12 honorable team.
Injuries, immaturity plagued UT baseball (ESPN)
Texas salvaged a game against Baylor.

Just like it salvaged a game against Texas A&M. Ditto for the Missouri series.
. . .
This season it has been impossible for the Longhorns to be consistent.

It started in the fall with starting infielder Jordan Etier being arrested for evading arrest and marijuana. He was suspended from the team only to be reinstated Jan. 18 just prior to the season.

From there the season started to go up in smoke.

Cohl Walla, the starting center fielder, went down with an ACL tear. Starting pitcher Sam Stafford tore up his shoulder and was gone.
Parker French suffered a stress fracture in his elbow on his first Friday start at Missouri. 
Freshman Ricky Jacquez was booted from the team for disciplinary reasons. And one-time Friday starter Nathan Thornhill has been relegated to the bullpen.
