Sunday brought back that feeling. You know the feeling, a mix of disbelief and nausea. You felt it after the Cotton Bowl and Holiday Bowl. When we lost to Baylor in overtime. You felt it in 2003 regional against Houston when the winning run scored off an overthrow to first with two outs.

This time it was the ninth inning. The previous day's 5-3 victory had given us the chance to sweep a conference opponent for the first time this season. "Our hitters fought to get the lead back against their closer." We are in good shape, up by three and an at-bat left. An error, a walk, and a homer tie it. Baylor eventually chews threw four pitchers, gets seven runs and is up by four.

Our turn. We have guys on first and second and one out. The next two batters strike out and pop up. Game over.

Oh ya, the ladies lost to Tech in the final game of the season.
