Texan Staff Texas pitcher Kevin Frizzell and the Horns are riding high since knocking off No. 1 Rice last Tuesday. By David Sessions Daily Texan Staff Thursday was a cloudless day except for Cloud Nine, upon which the Texas baseball players were firmly planted. As the Longhorns prepared for their weekend series with Oklahoma, their spirits and confidence were unusually high. Texas' mindset has changed drastically since March 13, when the Horns broke a Tuesday slump with a 7-4 win over No. 1 Rice.
Spring is in the air, the Texas offense is blooming, and an archrival's coming to town.
Baseball, they say, is suddenly a lot more fun. Playing baseball at the University of Texas against the University of Oklahoma at your ballpark in front of 5,000 people that's what you dream about all your life. OU has lost four of its last six, while Texas has won four of its last six. Confidence is running high at the Disch. Everybody just gets along and everybody's so fired up.
