Why Texas Bunts
burntorangenation.com 6/10/2009 — Bunting is like Greg Davis, everybody has a (mostly negative) opinion. With all the hoopla surrounding the bunt the last few weeks, we thought we'd take the opportunity to defend the bunt as an offensive strategy which has helped make Augie Garrido the winningest coach in NCAA history. We ...
Championship Series Q&A With Burnt Orange Nation
andthevalleyshook.com 6/22/2009 — When it was looking like Texas and LSU would meet for the championship, the guys from Burnt Orange Nation contacted me about having some cross-pollination on the blogs. A couple of their guys do most of the baseball coverage over there, and they sent ...
Do You Believe In Magic?
burntorangenation.com 6/17/2009 — You can call it magic. The fickle Baseball Gods smiling benevolently down upon the Longhorns. Maybe it's just pure moxie. Perhaps simple, blind luck. Whatever the case, it's becoming increasingly apparent that this Longhorn baseball team has "it." True, there are still games to win before the ...
Stoking the Fire
andthevalleyshook.com 6/23/2009 —

June 7 Summer Camp News and Notes
burntorangenation.com 6/8/2009 — In an amazing turn of events, the Longhorns managed to retain all 19 commitments over the weekend. A little bit of sarcasm there, but given the two recent defections, right now it's more about keeping everyone than gaining new commitments, especially considering the fact that most of the ...

Morning Coffee Finally Reviews Sunday's Camp
burntorangenation.com 6/18/2009 — But first, the obligatory Lache Seastrunk section. After Seastrunk failed to make it down to Austin for the first summer camp, the speculation here and on other sites was that Mack Brown would choose to move on, as the Texas head coach often remarks that he doesn't want to recruit players ...
Ugly Win > Pretty Loss
burntorangenation.com 6/15/2009 — We won't lie: we feel a little bit dirty right now. Having both grown up within two hours of Hattiesburg (one of us in Mississippi and one in Louisiana), it was tough for us to watch the Cinderella Golden Eagles choke away their first CWS game in school history last night. Don't misunderstand ...
Wait 'Til Next Year
burntorangenation.com 6/26/2009 — It's a refrain more worthy of a Chicago Cubs fan than a Longhorn baseball fan. As Augie Garrido says repeatedly, Omaha is the minimum expectation for his baseball team.

Afternoon Brewsky Goes to Summer Camp
burntorangenation.com 6/5/2009 — Or, it's hard to de-commit from Texas at a Texas camp. Rejoice, Longhorn fans -- the worst thing that can happen at the Texas camp on Sunday is that a couple of 2010 targets don't show up. While that certainly would be disappointing, especially in the cases of Darius White, Lache Seastrunk, ...

Bleacher Report - College Football 6/21/2009
Over the next couple of months, I am going to try and preview roughly 20 teams for the upcoming college football season. Because of time constraints and the fact that there are so many teams in CFB, I simply can’t do them all, so I will pick 20 ...
