Way to go, Horns!  Hook ‘em!

Winning Mentality!

[java]

If you want to see winning mentality, go back and watch Big 12 Tourney when Horns came from the Loser’s bracket to win the Championship!

I was there, when Huston ran onto the field the Horns were tired, the fans were tired, but you could feel the momentum shift. Huston knew we would win it, the fans gave him a standing O, and the team had all the energy they needed. 

I will never forget it.  It’s an invaluable lesson that sports teaches  

Hook ‘em!

[joeywa]

Today’s game ‘may’ start early. We are in T9 in the early game and OU leads LSU 1-0

[joeywa]

No early start. 3:05 first pitch
