Just saw NB's thread. (Thoughts your way) Just an update for those wondering. Friday's game was postponed until Sunday. Tonight's game has been cancelled with no time set for a makeup that I'm aware of. First pitch on Sunday is 11:05 and the game will be 7 innings. Game 2 will start 45 minutes after the completion of game 1.
And they're replaying the KU game from earlier today on LHN right now. Do we still have the puke emoticon? I couldn't find it.
finally getting some baseball. French starts for UT. K, bunt single, fly out, PB, K no score after 1/2 inning.

Zane Gurwitz, our only hitter of the day up with 2 outs. full count.......................... Flies out to right and we lose 3-1. French suffers the loss. Hill the winner. game 2 in 45 minutes.
Doesn't look like we wanted to be here today. Their pitcher and team did. Hopefully, better the 2nd time around. NB didn't show up either.
Bill Little [at the beginning of the 2nd game] said that he believed the weather delays affected the Horns more than SD. The home team always has a harder time because there are more things going on around the game to take away focus. The visitors in a lot of game delays just lounge around and focus easier on the game activities.
I kind of had a good excuse and put up a thread about it. Sounds like the team returned to the bad old ways today, after losing the first game I would think they would have gotten their focus back for game two. I would also think there was a motivational speech laced with colorful language between games.
