The Longhorn lost their last conference series of the year to TCU this weekend (1-5, 3-9, 3-0), finishing the season dead last in the league, ineligible for the conference tournament, and having set a new standard in offensive futility.

Texas hasn't seen baseball this bad since 1998 - understandable in Augie's first year in transition from Cliff Gustafson - but then you have to go back fifty seven years to 1956 and Bibb Falk to find another blip that's comparable. To call this historically bad baseball

Mack Brown's 6 Biggest Challenges for Texas in 2013

Mack Brown and his Texas Longhorns program have been climbing ever since the collapse in 2010.

It is an old tale by now—the 5-7 pitfall to the positive 8-5 campaign to the two-sided 9-4 season a year ago. But in a 2013 season where Texas returns 19 starters, the Longhorns have high hopes for a down year in the Big 12.

At the forefront of all of that is Brown, who has executed change after change to bring his program to the brink of a true resurgence. Entering spring ball, his team was coming off a momentous Alamo Bowl

Saturday Softball Open Thread

Source: Burnt Orange Nation by 40AS

We thought the softball game today started at 12 and not 11, so deepest apologies for not getting this up until just after the first pitch. South Carolina defeated Houston yesterday while Texas took care of Army, so the Longhorns take on the Gamecocks right now on the Longhorn Network, followed by the elimination game between Houston and Army on ESPN3. Then, at 5:00, another elimination game between the Texas vs South Carolina loser and the Houston vs Army winner. So it's a good day of softball at McCombs Field.

If you can't make it out there yourself, this will be your open thread. We won't have a separate open thread for the baseball game at TCU, because: 1) who cares? and 2) really, who cares? The baseball team's season will

The biggest earner, however, was Iowa State's Thursday night game against Texas, which received 36 percent of the vote. The Cyclones' home game against Oklahoma State was in third with 17 percent of the vote, but I was surprised Tulsa (nine percent) and Kansas (six percent) didn't earn a bit more of the vote.
