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 ...
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, ...
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 ...
Stoking the Fire
andthevalleyshook.com 6/23/2009 —
As persona non grata in the Texas blogosphere right now, I should take last night's classic as a chance to backtrack, give Texas credit, and back down from my "LSU is an unstoppable juggernaut" meme. But I'd rather throw fuel on the ...
Texas Basketball Elite Camp
burntorangenation.com 6/19/2009 — The two football camps aren't the only major events happening at the University of Texas in June. The Texas Elite Camp started on Thursday and will continue on Friday as Rick Barnes and staff host some of the top prospects in the country in the 2010, 2011, and 2012 classes, and possibly even a ...
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 ...
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. His statements explain the massive disappointment felt by fans after Wednesday's loss to LSU in the CWS Finals, even though ...
One Down, Two to Go
burntorangenation.com 5/11/2009 — Despite arguably being outplayed on the weekend and being lucky to get away without an Aggie sweep, Texas took two of three from A&M and in the process emerged as Big XII Regular Season Champions. We're sure Augie and his boys feel terrible for removing any drama from the final weekend of ...
Morning Coffee Is On MLB Draft Watch
burntorangenation.com 6/9/2009 —
Day of trepidation. For followers of Texas athletics, there is nothing like the MLB Draft. Not only do Longhorn fans have to worry about which draft-eligible juniors (and possibly sophomores) might be drafted high enough to depart for professional baseball, but they also have to ...
Morning Coffee Thinks Seastrunk To Auburn Could Happen
burntorangenation.com 6/2/2009 — Auburn may now lead for Seastrunk. When news first broke about Lache Seastrunk visiting Auburn, I thought little of it, calling it a "dalliance" and predicting that Auburn was not going to be a serious contender for the services of the star Temple running back. That tune changed the ...
Morning Coffee Is Still Camping
burntorangenation.com 6/11/2009 — Darius White speaks. Life is not particularly simple these days for Darius White. No, not for someone who receives constant phone calls, text messages, emails, all from people wanting to know his latest favorite, or his latest list, or latest trips planned, or if he's going to be a package ...
