Houston have any kind of ace and are they throwing him today?

Yes. His name is Doug Drabek.

Light rain and like 40 degrees in Waco.

Looks like a throng of maybe 50 in the stands.

Don't give away the surprise! I was trying to lure someone to the coldest place in town with the hope of free baseball.

FCB with some information on facial hair for Texas Baseball.

Chip Shots: Texas baseball fans will take in new faces (and some facial hair) in home opener against Houston

Spoiler

In today's Chip Shots, Texas first-year baseball coach Jim Schlossnagle explains why he is allowing players to sport facial hair this season. The 16th-ranked Longhorns (2-1) play Houston (2-1) in Texas' home opener Tuesday at 5:30 pm CT at Disch-Falk Field with freshman RHP Jason Flores starting on the mound.

AUSTIN, Texas — When Texas baseball comes out of the dugout Tuesday at 5:30 pm CT against Houston for the Longhorns' home opener at Disch-Falk Field, fans will be taking in the team's new faces (and their facial hair) under first-year coach Jim Schlossnagle.

For as long as anyone can remember, Texas baseball has been like the New York Yankees when it comes to discouraging facial hair.

Schlossnagle said he made a deal with his players that if they wanted to have the option of facial hair they had to get the team's grade point average (GPA) up and have no slip-ups off the field.

"I know that's been a thing here at Texas on the facial hair," Schlossnagle said. "But, you know, I've learned to pick my battles. It's like being a parent."

Schlossnagle said he met with the team's veterans after taking the Texas job to get a feel for the dynamics of the locker room and to lay down some laws.

"I talked to the older guys about it, and I said, there's going to be some people at Texas that don't like it [players having facial hair]," Schlossnagle said. "And I understand that, believe me. I came from a place [Texas A&M] with a lot of traditions.

"So, I just said, 'Hey, you guys act the right way on and off the field. The team didn't have a very good GPA. I said, 'If you guys clean your act up in the classroom, act the right way off the field. Then, then I got your back on this facial hair thing, and we'll see how it goes.' I mean, they've still got to continue to do that."

At least 14 players on the Longhorns' 41-man roster have sported facial hair, including catcher Rylan Galvan, shortstop Jalin Flores and pitchers Luke Harrison, Ruger Riojas, Thomas Burns and Andre Duplantier.

Left-handed Indiana State senior transfer pitcher Jared Spencer, who pitched 5.2 scoreless innings in Texas' season-opening loss to Louisville, also has long, curly locks that would've never survived under former coach Augie Garrido.

"I had the same rules in high school where we weren't allowed to grow facial hair or long hair," said Harrison (1-0, 0.00 ERA), who was rocking a full mustache in his win over Ole Miss on Saturday.

"I'd like to say I would've had facial hair earlier, but I probably couldn't grow it. But, it is what it is. It's just fun to kind of have people like [Jared] Spencer let the hair down a little bit. We've got some good facial hair going on. It's a lot of fun."

Schlossnagle is in his 24th season as a head coach. A younger version of himself might have been so open-minded, he said.

"It's like parenting," Schlossnagle said. "Is [Texas junior catcher] Rylan Galvan a bad guy because he's got a beard? No, he's not. He's an awesome kid. And 15 years ago, I would have forced something on him. But I think  you've got to let these kids be who they are."

 

Anyone know who is calling the game for SEC+? I was hoping Keith and Greg would continue calling our games even after LHN’s demise, but Keith will be with Craig on the radio this season. 

Obviously, a small sample size, but Max has been excellent to start the year. So has A-Rod, especially for a true freshman.

If Spencer and Harrison turn into legit starters, this team has some promise. Dre continuing to get better and better each year would be an awesome thing too.

thank god, board meeting until 615 for me I was gearing up to hit the couch right on time, 530pm was a gut punch. but the game is probably going to be postponed tbqh.

I have a bad feeling about getting this game in.

Sheepfuckers already canceled their game in the Brazos Bottoms tonight.

Houston is on site no doubt and they may not be able to reschedule it.

If they can reschedule, it's not worth playing today.

Even if the rain subsides, the temp is going to start dropping dramatically, making the Disch southern Siberia.

Disch Falk is brutal in cold and hot weather, it's the anti-climate control stadium.

Houston plays in Round Rock tomorrow and this weekend so it wouldn't be like they came all this way for nothing.
