Are you ready for some baseball?

The weather has been so nice that it's hard to believe that the Alumni game will be played in just over two weeks, isn't it? Traditionally, the weather takes a turn toward bitterly cold just in time for the Alumni game. That didn't happen last year. It was cold but not bitterly cold. I was out taking photos of the Championship Tower this evening, though, and got quite a chill. I guess that means it's almost time! Heh. I have no special insight on the team this year. I wasn't able to make it to any of the fall practices or Fall World Series games and really haven't seen much about the new players. The team did snag a #1 preseason ranking, though. I'm hoping that means good stuff for the upcoming season...despite the rather dismal home schedule. I would certainly love to see back-to-back Championships!

Anyway, links to a few news releases recently posted on the TexasSports.com site:

• Baseball kicks off preseason practice
• Baseball selected No. 1 in preseason polls
• Three Longhorns named NCBWA Preseason All-Americans

Hook 'em!
