Swing the bat Borba. Geez

Borba got ahead in the count, 3-1, but he struck out looking for the second out of the inning.

Come on get the bat off your shoulder

Doyle is already closing in on 40 pitches through 1.1 innings.

Jalin Flores led off the inning by grounding out to third. After a single by Tommy Farmer and a steal of second, along with a walk drawn by Gasparino, Texas has two on with one out.

M2: Texas 1, Tennessee 0

Six up, six down for Walker through two.

That first round bye didn’t do anyone any good last year.

So where has Walker been the last month or so? This is looking real good through 2.

Ethan W. Is looking good so far.

End of 1: Texas 1, Tennessee 0

After a strikeout by Galvan, Schuessler drives Mendoza in with a single to center. Texas has the early lead, 1-0.

That’s how you start. Get a run early.

Mendoza drew a walk and then advanced to second on a deep fly ball by Belyeu. Texas has a runner in scoring position with one out in the bottom of the first.

This would have been the 12-team playoff for this past 2024 season if this seeding had been used. TLDR: Texas would have had a 1st round bye, but would likely have played Ohio State in the Quarterfinals in the Fiesta Bowl (instead of the semi-finals this year in Peach Bowl). First Round: #12 Clemson at #5 Notre Dame #11 Arizona State at #6 Ohio State #10 SMU at #7 Tennessee #9 Boise State at #8 Indiana Quarterfinals (New Year's Six Bowls - teams with byes await winners): Winner of #9 Boise State / #8 Indiana vs. #1 Oregon (e.g., at Rose Bowl) Winner of #10 SMU / #7 Tennessee vs. #2 Georgia (e.g., at Sugar Bowl) Winner of #11 Arizona State / #6 Ohio State vs. #3 Texas (e.g., at Fiesta Bowl) Winner of #12 Clemson / #5 Notre Dame vs. #4 Penn State (e.g., at Peach Bowl)

Their pitcher throws hard

Interesting choice for pitching, even if Schloss is saving pitching.

M1: Texas 0, Tennessee 0

Walker retires the Vols in an impressive first inning.

Ethan Walker with two punch outs to open his first career starts.

Love it. Finally a good playoff decision.

The Longhorns and the Vols get going at the top of the hour. Ethan Walker gets the ball for the Longhorns. He'll go against Tennessee ace Liam Doyle, the SEC Pitcher of the Year.

No guaranteed bye’s in this last year of the 12 team playoff. As it should be. Committee will rank 1-12, and that’s how it will play out. https://x.com/brett_mcmurphy/status/1925614012387270758?s=46
