[Jeff Howe]

The Longhorns are trying to avoid a series sweep at the hands of the Aggies today. Schloss and Max Weiner will send Dylan Volantis to the mound, looking to salvage something out of this weekend.

The game is streaming on SEC Network Plus.

Texas is still No. 2 in RPI after the two losses to the Aggies:

I doubt we play today. The radar doesn’t look good.

Can anyone inform me of the SEC rules on away games and travel on Sundays? Does it change since Texas is a short trip away?

Sunday Curfew: A strict no-new-inning rule applies to the final game of a series on Sunday, typically at 4:30 p.m. local time.

After reading it it doesn't seem like they allow any flexibility

That’s only if you fly.

Since Texas bussed over they have more flexibility to start late.

@Jeff Howe do you know the mechanics of these decisions? How much, if any, input do we have into whether this game gets played? And then, if the game doesn't happen today, does it get rescheduled for later in the season or just fully cancelled?

Because I'm thinking through whether I want us to play today. On the one hand, we have a massive advantage on paper: Volantis + fresh Cozart + bullets left in Crossland, Leffew, Burns if we want them ... vs. Weston Moss and max 2 innings from freshcorn. BUT that advantage on paper might not matter right now and it might be more strategic to just cut bait at 2 losses and move on.

If the radar on my phone is accurate, I doubt there will be a game for a while.
