University of Texas at Omaha

The University of Texas at Austin Longhorns have been so successful in baseball that the school has been nicknamed ?The University of Texas at Omaha,? after the College World Series of Omaha.? T-shirts with ?The University of Texas at Omaha? have been sold since at least 2009.

Augie Garrido became the baseball coach in 1997 and the Longhorns baseball team went to the College World Series six consecutive years (2000-06), winning two national championships (2002 and 2005). However, ?The University of Texas at Omaha? was cited in a Google Groups message board on June 2, 1996?before Garrido became coach.

Where have you gone Texas baseball ???
That?s the question I?ve started asking myself these last few weeks?. really months.
The team with the highest winning percentage in Division-1 history (.740).
The team with 77 conference titles and 34 College World Series appearances, both records.
The team that went to the College World Series six consecutive years (2000-06) and holds the mark for the most trips to Rosenblatt.
This team, in the Augie Garrido era, has appeared in nine CWS?s, with two national championships in four title game appearances.
This team influenced the masses into being coined,? The University of Texas at Omaha.?
The Texas Longhorns were the standard for NCAA Div-1 baseball.
