More proof that God is a Longhorn fan.
Aye. It’s a lighting strike in the 8th inning. Texas has to travel. Stop the count.
Tied for a program record six home runs.
Hey Texas, what’s your plan to overcome the pitching woes?
It’s early, but Ewers and Banks projected as first rounders. The feeling is restored.

What’s the count for the draft?
JWhitt being No. 11 is so fitting. Program guy. Culture setter. Bevo’s best friend. Battled back from injuries. One of the best.

How many has Texas had drafted?
I respect her not deleting this because now it’s a learning opportunity. Jamaal Charles was diagnosed with a learning disability and used sports as a way to cope with being bullied. He now serves as a global ambassador for the Special Olympics.

700lbs of Longhorn….
Source: The #Colts are drafting Texas WR Adonai Mitchell with the 52nd pick.
Using context clues: whatever the issue is with AD Mitchell is worse than getting a DWI two weeks before the draft.

JB2k. RB1. Let’s go.
Another horn off the board. Not the one we thought would go first today though.
Because the Chiefs drafted the "franchise-changer" seven years ago and this "track guy" slots into the role that made Tyreek Hill one of the highest-paid receivers in the league.

With this - Texas ties the school-record for most homers in a game with 6. It's a record the Horns also tied on Tuesday.

For the second time this week, Texas has homered six times in a single game. That ties a school record done five times before: ⚾️ 3/21/1953 vs. Baylor ⚾️ 3/24/1984 at Houston ⚾️ 5/4/1997 at Nebraska ⚾️ 4/25/1998 at Missouri ⚾️ 4/23/2024 vs. UT Arlington ⚾️ 4/28/2024 at Oklahoma
