How About Those Coogs?!

Rayner Noble
Head Coach Rayner Noble Has To Be Smiling Tonight

Honestly, I didn't expect a great showing from the Coogs in their regional at College Station.

And after they lost the first game of the double elimination tourney, I was even more pessimistic.

Then they beat a good Oral Roberts team.

Then they beat the Alabama team that beat 'em their first game.

Fine. They're in the tourney championship against A&M, on A&M's home field, needing to beat A&M twice.

Unlikely, right?

In most sports, probably. But baseball's funny. Get a little momentum with a young but talented team, and who knows....

Ask A&M. UH rallied to beat 'em this afternoon, and rallied to beat 'em in ten innings tonight.

Now the Coogs come back to town, to face Rice in the Super Regional across town.

Rice will be the overwhelming favorite. But I wouldn't totally count out the Coogs. And how cool is THAT matchup for this city?!
