They were involved in a nip-and-tuck game against Army on Friday that they won 3-1. Then UT follows it up with an epic 25-inning 3-2 victory against Boston College on Saturday. Those two games featured Texas' great piching. Today's game featured Texas' bats rather than their pitching, as Texas scored 8 runs in the bottom of the ninth to win 14-10 after a walk-off grand slam. Everything seems to be coming together for this team at the right time. They won the Big 12 regular season title, followed it up with a conference tournament championship, and swept through their regional in dramatic fashion. I like the way Texas matches up versus TCU, especially considering that the super regional will be in Austin. Hook 'em Horns!

But check last night's "Saturday Recap, Sunday Preview" post for my quick thoughts on the Hogs. I have to imagine there's very little chance FSU gets sent to Fayetteville. If that happens, there's something seriously wrong. Brandon, I didn’t talk about it much because it wasn’t a very compelling regional—as you put it, Arkansas absolutely destroyed that regional.
