A two goal lead for Dallas?? I don't know what to do with my hands

Best part about the comeback is Anderson not getting an L. Gem of a performance. Outpitched Doyle with no offensive support.

I've been saying for a while that it's simply time to give Texas baseball credit. Yeah, they've gotten some top teams at home, but those top teams have mustered exactly one win in those games. Baseball is baseball, anything can happen with off days for a pitcher or your best bat going cold. Managing to go 8-1 against LSU, UGA, and a hot Auburn team is evidence of a great team.

I also consistently say Texas doesn't have a great home field advantage because the fans suck. Too quiet and would rather simply put up a hand signal than make noise or cheer. So its not like Austin is an intimidating place to play.

I'm in the boat with the other posters giving Texas credit. I watch them a lot, and go to a lot of their games. One of my good friends is a Texas baseball season ticket holder. It would be one thing if those home series were close, but LSU, UGA, and Auburn are a combined 1-8 in Austin. That's dominant, not just fortunate. Kentucky was a tougher road test than they're getting credit for, IMO.

I also don't think Texas has a great home field advantage because their fans suck.

The next few weeks will probably bring them back to the pack if Spencer's injury makes him miss more than one start. That might end up being a more costly loss on their roster than Belyeu.

The big miss

I mean, the kid is from Texas and has already broken into the lineup on the currently #1 ranked and SEC leading Texas baseball team. It's not like he is buried on a depth chart and LSU didn't try to recruit him for both sports. That's not a miss.

Texas has pathetic attendance

Attendance isn't their problem. They're too quiet as a fanbase. I've been to tons of Texas baseball and football games. Their stadiums can be sold out and it's nowhere near as loud as you would expect.

I wouldn't discount the Texas team based on their schedule. They've played tough teams and found ways to win. That series at Kentucky wasn't a cake walk. LSU, Georgia, and Auburn have managed a combined 1 win in Austin through 8 games.

I think Texas has benefited from the first half of their schedule being home-heavy, but it's not like they haven't been tested.

it really does look like any team (outside of a few) can win any weekend.

Is Texas the only team that hasn't lost a conf series? And Kentucky took them to the wire for Texas to win 2/3.
Oklahoma gets swept, then their offense explodes against a ranked Vandy.
Georgia gets swept then wins a series against Arkansas.
LSU bats went cold and still lost 3 games by a combined 7 runs after two straight weeks on the road.
Tennessee gets blown out by aTm then wins a dogfight series on the road at Ole Miss.

My good friends that are Texas fans are realizing, despite their record and ranking, they have no easy days over the next 5 weeks.
