It's taken me a few days to try to get over this enough to write about it. The University of Texas Longhorns baseball team dropped a stunner in the College World Series to Louisiana State University in a three game set this past week. I could understand that you drop Game 1 to the best team you've faced all year but you didn't need to drop Game 3 in that fashion. I mean giving up a three fun shot to a first rounder with 2 outs in the first inning is not the way you should go down in a decisive game for the CWS title. Its was a nice delight to see all the home runs since the team arrived in Omaha but the team almost completely dropped the style of play that made them the number one seed in the entire tounament. Then the fact you give up a HUGE inning after tying the ball game at 4 to spark another great comeback this year.
The burnt orange blood running through my veins started to run a little thin when a great defensive, ball control team gives up 11 runs to lose a title when many people considered the Horns the "Team of Destiny" after all of its comeback wins. My wounds have started to heal but a lost title will be in the back of my mind until THE University of Texas takes the CWS title next year.
