Texas-OU Weekend, Part 2. This Friday evening at 7pm, the Texas Longhorns try to get back in the win column against Oklahoma in a homecoming game, after going 1-2-1 in four straight road games over the last two weeks. They gave up two goals in a three-minute span late at West Virginia in their last outing, after nursing a 1-0 lead for almost an hour. Right now the Horns and OU are in a five-way tie for third place in the Big 12, so with three of their last four games at home, the Horns’ season, and postseason tournament seedings, are all left to play for.
