Should be pretty cool, let’s hope it has a happy ending.

Horns get #3 national seed. Texas opens against UT-Arlington Friday at 3.

Kenn Kasparek & Hunter Harris lead Horns in 4 – 0 win over Texas Tech.

Part of baseball is cheating just a little so that you’ve got the edge over your opponent. Doctoring the baseball, tipping pitches, shooting up with HGH till your head is the size of a beach ball, you know that kind of stuff. Well [tag]Arkansas[/tag] Razorbacks catcher Brian Walker attempts to win the Oscar for best actor and comes away with MTV’s “Best Villian” instead when he pretends to be hit by a pitch:

Wow, low class. It’s one thing to fake being hit, it’s another completely to show up and threaten the umpire who got the call right. What kind of lunatic acts like that when you clearly weren’t hit? His elbow sure didn’t look bruised when he chunked the bat and helmet in a hissy fit. They repeatedly pulled similar stunts when they were in Austin for the Regionals last year.

I hope the Arkansas coach Dave Van Horn disciplined the kid for this, although it’s probably sanctioned behavior. Dirty play like this is why I’ve no interest in playing them anymore.

Longhorns stay in contention for Big 12 title.

Durant was co-MVP with 16 points, seven boards and four assists.

Original word on Jordan Danks’ injury from this weekend was that it might not be too serious, but the Texas outfielder has a broken ankle and will miss at least six weeks. He’ll have surgery to repair his fractured ankle today but hopes to be back for the Big 12 Tournament at the end of May.

Tough luck for the freshman who had really come on as one of the team’s best hitters. The rest of the Texas lineup will have to pick it up a little to make up for his missing production if they’re going to hold of Nebraska and Oklahoma in the Big 12 race.

Texas blows 9th inning lead but Hunter Harris’ extra inning RBI single wins it.

William J. Disch and Bibb Falk are two of the 6.
