  2. It's always special to see the Longhorns, who are from the area, come back and give back to the community:
  3. Texas is two wins away from a trip to Omaha, which would be the program's first under Jim Schlossnagle. Oregon comes to Disch-Falk Field after going 3-0 in the Eugene Regional, including a 4-1 win over Oregon State in the championship game. Here are some important notes heading into today's game (from UT): THE MATCHUP — For the 14th time in program history, Texas will be playing in the NCAA Super Regionals. After sweeping their way through the Austin Regional, the sixth-seeded Longhorns will face No. 11 seed Oregon, which won the Eugene Regional. Texas boasts a 24-10 (.706) record in super regional action since the NCAA expanded its field to 64 teams in 1999. Meanwhile, head coach Jim Schlossnagle has posted a 16-8 (.667) mark in the supers. Schlossnagle has advanced in seven of his nine previous appearances, including six straight times, dating back to 2014. As the skipper at Texas A&M, Schlossnagle met Mark Wasikowski and his Ducks in the 2024 NCAA College Station Super Regional. While the Hall of Famer faced Oregon two seasons ago, the Longhorns and Ducks have never squared off on the diamond before. THE AUSTIN REGIONAL — In its 65th NCAA Tournament appearance, Texas dominated the Austin Regional, outscoring its opponents, 41-7. As a club, the Longhorns slashed .376/.493/.761 with 12 home runs. On the mound, Texas logged a 2.00 ERA in its three-game sweep. Five Longhorns earned All-Tournament distinction, with Aiden Robbins garnering Most Outstanding Player honors. Robbins was recognized alongside Anthony Pack Jr., Adrian Rodriguez, Carson Tinney and Dylan Volantis. In the opener, Texas defeated Holy Cross, 19-1, highlighted by Pack Jr.'s historic effort. Pack Jr. became the first Texas player with three home runs in a postseason game and just the ninth overall. The freshman homered in all three of his at-bats to help the Longhorns tie a program-record six blasts. Texas scored in all eight of its trips to the plate en route to matching its largest margin of victory in a postseason contest in program history The Longhorns beat Quinnipiac, 20-2, on June 3, 2005. In the win, Texas mounted 14 of its 19 runs with two outs and totaled a season-high 21 hits. In the winners' bracket, the Longhorns notched a 16-2 thumping of Tarleton State. Five different Texas players left the yard, including back-to-back-to-back jacks in the second inning. The Longhorns' 35 runs across the first two contests marked their most in consecutive postseason games ever. Texas capped off its perfect weekend by posting a 6-4 victory over UC Santa Barbara. Robbins delivered the game-winning two-run homer in the seventh to erase a pair of deficits. THE UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS AT OMAHA — The winningest NCAA Division I college baseball program of all-time has become very familiar with the restaurants in Omaha. Texas holds the record for most College World Series appearances (38), most individual CWS games won (88), most overall NCAA Tournament games won (268) and most NCAA Tournament appearances (65). The Longhorns have won six national championships, trailing only USC (12) and LSU (8). A LOOK AT THE LONGHORNS — As of June 5, the Longhorns sport the No. 3 RPI, No. 5 DSR and No. 10 SOS in the country. Heading into the SEC Tournament, Texas was listed as a consensus top-5 team in all five major polls. The Longhorns have the fifth-highest winning percentage (.768) and sixth-best run differential (+3.9) in all of Division I Baseball. On the mound, Texas ranks second in FIP (3.29), third in strikeout-to-walk ratio (3.52), fifth in WHIP (1.21) and 15th in ERA (4.10). At the plate, the Longhorns' .940 OPS is 12th nationally. Meanwhile, Texas has registered a .979 fielding percentage, which sits 22nd in the country. IT JUST MEANS MORE — In Texas' two seasons in the SEC, the Longhorns are one of only two programs with at least 40 wins in league play, alongside Georgia. Texas' 41-18 (.695) SEC mark is the best conference winning percentage over that span, edging Georgia's 41-19 (.693) ledger. Since Jim Schlossnagle’s first campaign in the SEC in 2022, he has won more conference series than any other coach in the league. Over that five-year run, Schlossnagle's 37 SEC series wins stack up ahead of Dan Van Horn (33), Kevin O'Sullivan (30), Jay Johnson (27) and Tony Vitello (27). With Schlossnagle at the helm last year, the Longhorns became the first team to win the SEC in their first season since the league's inaugural campaign in 1933. Texas' 22-8 ledger in SEC action marked its best record in conference play since 2010. NOTEWORTHY NON-CON — Following a sweep in the Austin Regional, the Longhorns are 24-2 against non-conference opponents. Texas began the season 16-0, marking its best start to a campaign in 21 years. For the second straight year, the Longhorns went 9-2 in midweek games. Since 2020, Jim Schlossngale’s clubs have notched a 61-12 (.836) ledger in midweek games, winning 33 of the last 38 contests. HISTORY BY WAY OF THE K — Texas' 630 strikeouts are its most-ever in a single season, breaking a 41-year-old school-record set in 1985 (618). Ruger Riojas and Dylan Volantis became the first Texas duo with 100 punchouts in a single season since Cole Green (104) and Taylor Jungmann (126) in 2011. Volantis' 116 strikeouts sit third in the SEC and are tied for the 15th-most in the country. Meanwhile, Riojas ranks second with a 13.63 K/9 and 7.07 strikeout-to-walk ratio among SEC hurlers. Overall, the Longhorns have the SEC's top three pitchers in strikeout percentage (min. 35 inn.), with Sam Cozart (37.6), Riojas (37.1) and Volantis (34.7) comprising the three-headed monster. Texas has mounted 19 punchouts in a game on two occasions, accomplishing the feat against Alabama on April 18 and Mississippi State on May 1. The Longhorns' 19 strikeouts matched the most in a nine-inning game in program history, tying their performance against Southwestern Louisiana on March 18, 1988. BASH BROS — With Troy Tulowitzki on staff, the Longhorns have recorded the five highest home run totals in school history. In 2022, Texas smashed the program-record with 128 homers, surpassing the 2010 squad that hit 81 blasts. Since, the Longhorns tallied 91 home runs in 2023, 112 jacks in 2024 and 85 round-trippers in 2025. This year, Texas has launched 99 home runs. With the Longhorns' next blast, Texas would become the first Power Four team to total 100 homers and 100 stolen bases in the BBCOR era. The Longhorns have three different players with at least 17 jacks for the first time in program history. Team-leader Aiden Robbins has 23 blasts, which is the fourth-most by a Texas player in a single season. Catcher Carson Tinney has homered 21 times, the fifth-most in a campaign. Infielder Casey Borba has socked 17 jacks to cap off the Longhorns' historic power trio. SPEED KILLS — For the first time since 2005, Texas has eclipsed the century mark in stolen bases. Among all SEC teams, the Longhorns rank third (109), trailing only Kentucky (131) and Oklahoma (117). Seven Texas players have swiped double-digit bags for the first time in program history. Eight different Longhorns have also set new career-highs. Anthony Pack Jr.’s team-leading 20 stolen bases are the most by a Texas freshman since Drew Stubbs (28) in 2004. OWN THE DISCH — Since UFCU Disch-Falk Field opened in 1975, Texas has gone 1,693-431-3 (.797) at home thanks in large part to Longhorn Nation. Texas has averaged 7,299 fans per game at home, the fifth-highest mark in the country. On March 28, the Longhorns drew the second-largest regular season crowd in program history, with 0f 8,059 fans in attendance against then-No. 8 Oklahoma. Across the three-game series against the Sooners, the Longhorns welcomed 23,407 fans to UFCU Disch-Falk Field, the third-highest recorded mark for a three-game set in the ballpark's history.
  4. Texas fans who think our bullpen is spotty should watch this game.
  5. Right around when I started. At one point I had ten Canseco Rookie cards. Mattingly, Clemons, Srawberry, Gooden, etc had no clue anyone was juicing. I refocused on Boggs, Ripken, Sandberg, Henderson and Gwynn. Gwynn is one of the greatest players to ever play and his cards are nowhere near what they should be worth.
  6. State up 12-10 bottom 8
  7. Farah O’Keefe has a shot at being on this list as well.
  8. Logan Eggleston was the AVCA National Player of the Year in 2022. Destinee Hooker was a four-time All-American in volleyball and a six-time All-American in track.
  9. The Texas men and the Texas women will both play Louisville in the Challenge. The men will travel to Louisville on Dec. 1, while the women will host Louisville at Moody Center on Dec. 2.
  10. Georgia vs Miss St has been a WILD one. 11-10 in the top of the 8th. MSU up. WVU is dog walking Cal Poly. Up 12-1. Punching their ticket to Omaha today.
  11. I want an SGC-graded copy of the Mattingly rookie card. I slightly prefer the Donruss, but I wouldn't mind the Topps card either.
  12. I found parking for regionals last year on Spot hero instead of heading down early and trying to find parking like I’ve done in years before. It’s reasonably priced and shows you distance from the Disch 🤘🏻🤘🏻
  13. I'd like to see interviews with these sports recruits on their visits. It would highlight the intense Longhorn Nation interest in all sport.
  14. If you like offense, it's entertaining.
  15. This game is pretty unbelievable to be honest.
  16. I’m going with Burke! He’s really came into his own as a well rounded player and developed like a champ while here. Randall is a darn good one too!!
  17. Today
  18. As the countdown rolls on, we’ve reached a number that doesn’t have a long list of Texas legends attached to it, but it does feature several players who made meaningful contributions during their time in Austin. Kheeston Randall gets the top spot, in my opinion. Randall started 35 games during his Texas career and finished with 98 tackles, 21 tackles for loss, four sacks and 25 quarterback pressures. He earned All-Big 12 honors in 2011 and was selected by the Miami Dolphins in the seventh round of the 2012 NFL Draft. He was a steady presence on the defensive front during a transitional era for the program. Ethan Burke played in 51 games, recorded 17 starts and earned Honorable Mention All-Big 12 honors in 2023. His 2024 season was arguably his most complete, highlighted by nine tackles for loss, an interception returned for a touchdown, four pass breakups and a blocked kick. Bryce Cottrell rounds out the list. While he wasn’t a full-time starter, he was a reliable contributor across four seasons, finishing with 53 tackles, 11.5 tackles for loss, 7.5 sacks and three pass breakups. Any older No. 91s you’d put into the discussion?
  19. This will get you up for next season. Madi Doty. https://x.com/ihss_dfw/status/2061840262142546335?s=20
