We're going to have to take it out on their football team.

Still a two game conference lead after this weekend but this choke job looms large with two weekends left.

Well that was not a base hit.  ANOTHER DINGER

[Austalgia]

What a butt kicking this weekend.  It was way better being competitive in losses.  Oh well,  hope we get it together for the next series. 

[Jeff Howe]

A forgettable weekend for the Longhorns.

[pinkman_90]

So to sum up the weekend:

walk, walk, home run, walk, HBP, home run.  A few more walks.  A few more home runs.  
 

Did I miss anything?

[Jeff Howe]

Texas trails Arkansas by five runs, 12-7.

Rodriguez is at the plate with two outs in the top of the eighth.

Hogs are making a pitching change after a two-out double to the base left-field wall by Rodriguez.

Well, Texas has something cooking in the eighth. Farmer and Easton Winfield draw walks to load the bases for Mendoza.

[Jeff Howe]

Let's see what Mendoza can do here.

The pitching rotation needs some changes

M8: Arkansas 12, Texas 7

10 walks issued by the pitching staff today. That's very unlike what we've seen throughout the season.

The Longhorns are trying to avoid getting swept in Fayetteville. Today's series finale is a 2 p.m. start on SEC Network+.

They are getting swept 12-7 now . Their pitching is outstanding. Our batting is not .
