Texas was favored by most odds makers going into Omaha. While this looks to be a fairly even match to be, I like OU's pitching. And Skip will know how to manage it. The other difference to me is OU's speed. I have to favor OU even though I'm rooting for the Rebs.
It has been Mon-Wed most recently. This year they started a day early (on Friday rather than Sat) and also squeezed a day out in order to get to Sat-Mon. As mentioned above, no rain helped out. Usually that will factor in a least a day's worth of delay.
The wind has blown out to LF all year in '22. That is part of the reason our team has obliterated the HR record offensively.
James Street and Randy Peschel might be a couple of familiar names from the gridiron. (just noticed the Street mentions)
There were three misplayed balls behind Lucas. That infield at ECU was problematic, and it won't be at TD Ameritrade. Lucas would have had a much easier time with his pitch count had we made some plays that we ususally make. Your point about needing Pete and Lucas to be good is correct; we need to win the first two.
It would be great to see last night's version of Tristan again too. 😉
