There it is.

Go GATORS!

Thanks. I saw the pitching rotation for this weekend on another site and was about to put the names up, but you beat me to it. I sure hope Coppola can get through 5-6 innings. I would hate to have to go too deep into the bullpen Friday night, but I guess Coach O'Sullivan wants to get Peterson & King a little extra rest after the way last weekend messed things up.

 

I’m not sure they’ll try to stretch Pierce out that far even if he’s rolling. It would be nice though.

 

Can't even imagine that they have any hope of getting 5-6 from Coppola. Maybe 50 pitches/3 innings type thing. It will be great for us if he is ready for that type of outing because, as you said, otherwise this could really tax the bullpen on Friday night if it is a competitive, winnable game.

 

Exactly—how long did it take Peterson and King to reach the 5-6 innings plateau? I feel like he will be somewhat satisfied with one time through the lineup and anything else is gravy.

 

The scene was the CWS of 2005. Alan was making his second start of the CWS and was facing ASU.

He went down with a completely torn hamstring on the mound. To say it was agonizing to watch is a vast understatement. As this happened, a short distance to our right the Texas Longhorn baseball team sat together.

When Alan went down they stood up together and cheered….

I will never forget or forgive their choice of character. In any game—we cannot beat them bad enough.

Gators, reach down to your very core and put it on them at their house.

 

Friday night will depend on the score as to which relievers to use. We have to steal one game.

 

Texas will always have favor !

 

I’m hoping that those fans were not saying those things near u or Jan . That would have been a major problem…

 

I think Cop will get the ball , go 8 innings 106 pitches and Clemente close ! Boom
