It’s hard to believe that Moreland was a freshman in 1972…same as me. I believe he played on the freshman football team at UT in 1972 and then baseball in the spring of 1973. I scheduled my spring classes around baseball games when they were played at the old Clark Field. Besides Moreland, pitchers Jim Gideon, Richard Wortham and Martin Flores I remember on the 1973 team. The 1973 and 1974 teams were damn good and made the College World Series. Disch-Falk field opened in 1975 and the Moreland led Texas team won the College World Series. I loved old Clark Field just north of the football stadium (I believe the performing arts building is there now.. It had a limestone wall in the outfield. There was a hill/ramp in CF for outfielders to retrieve baseballs that stayed up there. It was known as Billy Goat Hill. I’ve always been a Moreland fan and he is a great baseball announcer.

Still seems odd to have your top HR hitters hitting at the top of the order. Guaranteed that Robbins has no one on base to start the game.

Bobby asked posters to take the survey. He didn’t say post your answers here. Defeats the whole purpose.

Agree. It wasn’t pretty but Burns has closer type stuff. Hopefully he can build on this.

Dugout view of the Tinney 445 ft home run:

Pack drove this 3 run double to the opposite field.

Cozart went 4 innings last Tuesday against Lamar but only threw 54 pitches.

He has thrown 73 pitches thru 4 innings. Not sure how many more pitches, if any, they let him throw.

Robbins 2 out HR in the top of the first. Texas 1-0.

Field level view:

@CJ Vogel @Blake Munroe I probably missed it but I didn’t hear anything about Robbins hitting for the cycle on Saturday. It’s pretty rare. The last time a Texas player hit for the cycle was 2015. Not sure how many Texas players have accomplished this. Texas won 3-1 and Robbins had 2 RBI’s and scored a run on his HR. No other player had an RBI as our only other run scored on a passed ball.
