Sure, Frisco is not far at all, maybe 40 minutes from the mid-cities where I live. 

On the baseball front, I am glad that I don't have to go into work tomorrow, as we are beating Hawaii by 2 in the 8th right now!!  This would be a good victory for us!  Not to the level of when we beat Notre Dame when they were ranked #1 in 2001, but big nonetheless :-).

The team is definitely doing well after a tough non-conference schedule.  I think we did well enough in the non-conference side, though the record didn't show it.  We played some good CA teams close for most of the games, and I think kept UNLV close.  If we can take 1 of 3 from Hawaii in Hawaii, I would say that we did well!  Hawaii only lost by 1 to Texas, who is always in the top 10 each year, and has played several other tough teams close.  Congrats on the 9 game winning streak Coach Woodson!  I have always been proud to contribute to the baseball program since I graduated/played, and I/other baseball alumni would love to be able to say that we are in the NCAA tournament some day :-).

He is a very good player, but I doubt that he would go in the first or second rounds.  I would say that a good bet would be at most in the 'teen rounds, which is still very very good!  As a coach, he is always going to say something higher than expected.

Since we turned the clocks ahead an hour today for DST, I am just guessing we will turn back the calendar a decade and host Oral Roberts in the CIT. Who knows, it might be fun to see ORU again.

That would bring eaglebackr back to our board temporarily...I am not hoping for this outcome lol
