    This is like a dream or something. Solid all around baseball vs the top ranked team in the country. Didn't know we had the bats to do this

    Yeah, but all that scoring in a single inning. We are going in the wrong direction.

    Hopefully we sweep tomorrow and LSU goes on and wins out the regular season so our wins look that much better.

    I haven't looked at LSU's roster but I imagine the bullpen has to be pretty depleted after today. Hopefully that helps as we go for the SWEEP!!!

    With all due respect to the U.S. Naval force heroes who fought and died in the Battle of Midway, this is meant as no actual comparison to what they faced as compared to college baseball, but the closing scene of the movie reminded me of how maybe Coach PIerce could be viewing the upcoming 3rd game, even after winning 2 over the No.1 team in the nation fairly easily:

    From the movie, "Midway":

    Did you confirm it? Yes, Sir. Fletcher's reply is here.
    Fletcher to Nimitz: Confirm first report, three enemy carriers afire.
    Hallelujah!
    Three of their first-line carriers, Admiral! Isn't that worth a "hot-diggity-damn"?
    Good advice, Joe, but there's still that fourth enemy carrier to deal with.
    A message from Captain Buckmaster: The Yorktown's been hit.
    Badly? Yes, but she's underway. Operational?
    Our whole force may be in jeopardy if the Japanese locate the Yorktown.
    They still have a tremendous fleet.
    But that fourth carrier can't be far off.
    We've already won a great victory, Admiral.
    Maybe we should get our people back. Break off, run for home?
    Before they can hurt us again? Yes.
    That may be the smart play.
    Trouble is: I want that fourth carrier!



    UT baseball coaching staff after yesterday's game, maybe:

    Pierce: Did you confirm it?
    Sean Allen (asst. coach): Yes, Sir. Phil Haig's (asst. coach - pitchers) reply is here.
    "Haig to Pierce: Confirm first report, two wins over LSU, pitching staff in good shape."

    Allen: Hallelujah! Two wins in the first games of the series, Coach! Isn't that worth a "hot-diggity-damn"?
    Pierce: Good advice, Sean, but there's still that third game to deal with.

    (Okay, so the parallel breaks down a bit here --- unlike the US Navy which had the Yorktown severly damaged, looks like the Horns made it through the first two games of the LSU series without injuries, so scratching three lines of the movie here, so sue me.)

    Allen: Our national ranking will still be okay if LSU can recover and rout us Sunday. They still have a tremendous team.

    Pierce: But that third win can't be far off.

    Allen: We've already won two great victories, Coach.

    Pierce: Maybe we should lay back? Chill out, relax at home?

    Allen: So that our guys can enjoy the two wins? Yes.

    Pierce: That may be the smart play. Trouble is: I want that third win!
