****Texas vs Louisville CWS Game Thread****

[joeywa]

OK boys and girls, team is at TD Ameritrade.  Taking on Louisville today, and Matt has a nice breakdown on them here.

Lineups shortly.  A bit of weather is expected in Omaha this afternoon, hopefully it will miss the stadium.

Will the game be on LHN as well or just ESPN?

The ADIDAS uni's are horrible. I can't believe I have to put up with them for a 2nd straight Texas game.

Weather appears to have passed, for now.

There is a good breeze, about 20 MPH, blowing in I believe from Left. Trying to confirm.
