How to watch Texas Tech baseball vs. Nebraska in Shriners Children’s College Showdown
Texas Tech baseball opens with No. 8 Tennessee at Globe Life Field
Texas Tech baseball coach Tim Tadlock discusses Shriners Children’s College Showdown, where his team plays three games on opening weekend
The 22nd-ranked Texas Tech baseball team continues its season-opening weekend at the Shriners Children’s College Showdown in Arlington with a game against Nebraska at 3 p.m. Saturday.
The Cornhuskers, 33-23-1 last season and 15-9 in the Big Ten, beat Baylor 4-1 in the opener of the three-day event at Globe Life Field. Texas Tech, 41-23 last season and 12-12 in the Big 12, opened with Friday’s late game against No 8 Tennessee.
Saturday’s scheduled starting pitchers are junior lefthander Will Walsh for Nebraska and sophomore righthander Zane Petty for Texas Tech. Walsh was 5-3 with a 4.24 earned-run average last season and served as the Cornhuskers’ Sunday starter during the second half of the season. He threw a four-hit shutout against Michigan State in a 4-0 victory at the Big Ten tournament.
Petty went 3-2 last season with a 5.68 ERA. The Milwaukee Brewers drafted him in the 13th round in 2022 out of Corsicana, but Petty opted for college ball.
Second-team all-Big Ten outfielder Gabe Swansen is the Cornhuskers’ top returning hitter. He batted .291 last season with 18 home runs and 57 runs batted in.

TCU moved to 3-0 against Texas State, but it was not pretty.
Free throw shooting and foul trouble plagued the Frogs from what could have been a dominant performance.
Trazarien White and Noah Reynolds were two transfers with big expectations for the Frogs this season.
Both had their best statistical performances as a Horned Frog Tuesday.
Reynolds had 17 points on 6-7 from the field and five assists, while White finished with 16 points on 7-10 shooting.
Frog fans have now seen a lot of different players have big time games, showing just how many different TCU guys can beat the opponent on any given night.
The main downfall for the Frogs tonight was factors they could control.
TCU shot 15-32 (46.9%) from the free throw line and accounted for 20 fouls (two technical) on the night.
The two technical fouls came from Micah Robinson and Jamie Dixon, which could have been argued were unworthy of that status.
Free throws have been an issue for TCU the past few years, so seeing this problem come up again is not a good sign.
However, these are unforced errors that can be easily corrected as the Frogs go deeper in the season.
It was the story of two halves for starting point guard Frankie Collins.
After going scoreless in the first half, the Arizona State transfer poured in 13 second half points and added six assists on the night as well.
Collins is a catalyst for how this team performs, which was seen big time Tuesday.
If the Frogs can get more of the second half version of Collins, they could be in for a lot of success this year.

What Texas head coach Steve Sarkisian said about Arkansas
Arkansas football continues its 2024 season against No. 3 Texas in just four days at Razorback Stadium in Fayetteville, and Longhorns head coach Steve Sarkisian spoke to the media Monday to preview the matchup.
In their debut SEC season, the Longhorns have dominated most competition besides a 30-15 loss to Georgia and a 27-24 nail-biting win against Vanderbilt. Texas has defeated teams like Michigan, Mississippi State, Oklahoma and Florida handily.
Under Sarkisian’s leadership, Texas has accumulated a 33-15 (17-10 Big 12, 4-1 SEC) overall record with a 12-win, College Football Playoff season a year ago. This season, the Longhorns boast the No. 9 total offense (465.2 YPG) and No. 10 passing offense (301.1 YPG) in the country.
This will mark the 80th meeting between the two teams, as Texas leads the series 56-23. The Razorbacks have won the last two matchups, with the most recent coming in 2021, a 40-21 victory in Fayetteville.
Here’s everything Sarkisian had to say about Pittman, the Razorbacks and his team:

On Arkansas’ 2021 win over Texas being an eye-opener:
Sarkisian: “In going back, I always try to revisit some of those games even from years past just to get a sense and a feel. The frustrating part of that game more than anything is, we didn’t play great. But then you look up and you watch the game, you forget it’s the middle of the third quarter and it’s 16-7 and we were playing hard, we just weren’t playing great.
“I think it’s two-fold, yeah we obviously wanted to upgrade as best we could the roster, especially from a depth perspective. And then as the game wore on, a couple explosive plays kind of kicked into play, unfortunately we didn’t make some of our own. But the competitiveness of our team, I thought we fought in the game. But naturally, okay, what do we need to do? I thought it was good, not only for myself but for the staff and for our players to say, ‘okay, that’s an SEC team.’
“At the time, they weren’t at the top of the SEC, there were some pretty good teams still there. So we had a hill to climb to get where we wanted to get to, so it feels pretty good knowing that we’re going in there this year with what we think is a little better roster. A little better understanding from a coaching staff perspective of what’s going to be needed in that environment. It’s a very tough environment. But what’s going to be needed from an emotional and mental standpoint, but also from a physical standpoint.”
On the Arkansas-Texas rivalry being underrated:
Sarkisian: “I think it might be underrated nationally. I don’t know if it’s going to get the same exposure that it would nationally. But I would tell you, internally it’s getting the same amount that’s needed, that it deserves. This rivalry has been going on for a long, long time. I was joking with the team this morning, I don’t know what Darrell Royal did to Arkansas back in the day, but they absolutely hate our guts and I think we learned that the first time around when we went there.
“You watch some of the clips of the end of that game and Joe Tessitore is talking about Arkansas hates Texas more than they like themselves, and he might be right. So, I think from our perspective, internally, we understand and value this rivalry. It’s great to have back, great for the state of Texas, great for the state of Arkansas.
“I wish nationally it probably got the exposure that this thing deserves. There’s been some great games historically that these two teams have butted heads on. Obviously we’re looking forward to the opportunity.”
On Sarkisian’s first time facing a Bobby Petrino offense in 1996:
Sarkisian: “Man, you know what I remember in that game? And this might take a minute. So in that game, at the end of the first half, we were kind of in one of those situations where, how much time is on the clock? There might have been 15 or 20 seconds, we were out of timeouts. We took a timeout, we’re on the sideline.
“Here’s myself, here’s Norm Chow, our offensive coordinator, Robbie Bosco, everyone’s trying to decide what to call. There can be no aggreance on what was happening. And LaVell Edwards, rarely would he step in on the play calls, he’s very CEO-like. He said, ‘Well Sark, what do you want to run?’ And I can’t remember what I said, then he goes, ‘Well that’s what we’re running.’ Then he walked off and so it was the first time I got to call a play in my life.
“But the value in that, what I do remember is like, when you can really start to trust your players and the players feel your trust as a coach, you start to get more out of them.”
On Arkansas QB Taylen Green:
Sarkisian: “First of all, he’s huge. A guy his size and can run the way that he runs, sometimes you don’t think he’s covering as much ground as he is, but the stride length is so long that he’s able to cover ground. The explosive plays that he uses with his legs, his ability to make all the throws down the field.
“Coach Petrino is an elite offensive play caller and offensive schemer, so they put him in really good positions when they’re in the zone-read game, the quarterback run game. They put him in really good positions for the shots down the field and the dropback pass game, so you have to defend a lot of offense. Then when you get a guy like him running it, it can be extremely challenging.”

The Michelin Guide came to Texas for the first time on Monday night to award Michelin stars to 15 restaurants in four Texas cities at an invitation-only ceremony at 713 Music Hall in Houston. In addition, two Texas restaurants earned Michelin Green Stars (for leadership in sustainable dining), with 45 Bib Gourmands (offering excellent quality for good value), 57 Recommended Restaurants (exemplars of the high Michelin standard) and four Michelin Special Awards, for a total of 117 outstanding Texas eateries honored by Michelin this year. It’s been a long time coming.
The Lone Star State–renowned for its stellar BBQ, Tex-Mex and tacos–has now officially been recognized as an international culinary hub and incubator for talented chefs. After the Michelin Awards ceremony last night, there is certainly no shortage of Michelin-level BBQ in Texas, but the awards also represent a total of 26 diverse cuisines. The newly minted Michelin chefs celebrated the honor—and each other’s accomplishments—with a Texas-sized explosion of enthusiasm and joy onstage in a spirit of true community and camraderie.
“We monitor the evolution of the culinary landscape closely, and Texas has been on our radar for a few years,” says Gwendal Poullennec, International Director, Michelin Guide. “A Michelin Star is a worldwide benchmark awarded to restaurants offering the highest quality food. From a culinary perspective, Texas deserves to be put on the international travel map. The food culture and authenticity makes it worth traveling here because it’s really unique and deserves worldwide recognition,” he continues.
According to the Michelin Guide, each restaurant is visited several times per year and there are five criteria for awarding stars: quality products; the harmony of flavors; the mastery of cooking techniques; the voice and personality of the chef as reflected in the cuisine; consistency between each visit.
“Each of you set a new bar for Texas,” says Poullennec, addressing the new Michelin Star recipients at the Awards ceremony, “and tonight we celebrate the quality, creativity and passion of these chefs. It’s not only an award,” he continues. “It’s an encouragement to raise the bar, become even more daring and dream even bigger.”
Here is a full list of the winners, with remarks from the Michelin Inspectors.
Restaurants Awarded One MICHELIN Star
La Barbecue, Austin
Austin
Barley Swine (Contemporary cuisine) “The room is decidedly casual, and diners are welcome to come as they are, but there’s no mistaking the passion of this kitchen. Chef/owner Bryce Gilmore makes deft use of local ingredients with a distinctly Southwestern palette of flavors that draws from Mexican and Southern traditions, while maintaining a contemporary, global sophistication. The tasting menu is carefully attuned to the seasons, and refinement is balanced with a sense of whimsy.”
Craft Omakase (Japanese cuisine) “Discreetly tucked away in Rosedale, Craft Omakase has a lounge up front with a dining room and counter in back. It is here where guests wisely place their faith in the hands of Chefs Charlie Wang and Nguyen Nguyen who dole out an impressive procession of nigiri and other bites. Their creative omakase doesn’t shy away from embellishment, yet it’s done with restraint and allows the fish to shine.”
Hestia (American cuisine) “Push past the glass door of this restaurant in the heart of downtown and you’ll immediately get the drift—quite literally, as wood smoke perfumes the air. This hot spot is all about live fire cooking, as evidenced by the 20-foot hearth in the open kitchen. Contemporary cooking is on display in both the à la carte and chef’s tasting menu, and Texas produce and proteins take center stage. From savory to sweet, nearly everything is kissed by the flames or scented with smoke.”
InterStellar BBQ (Barbecue) “The mark of a good place is when a line starts forming before they’ve even opened, and at InterStellar BBQ, it’s long before they’ve swung open the door. Everyone is here for a taste of pitmaster John Bates’s barbecue, done low and slow over post oak.”
la Barbecue (Barbecue) “Founded by the late LeAnn Mueller and now run by her wife, Ali Clem, la Barbecue’s massive, custom-built pit in the backyard is the rarified workshop in which meaty miracles are realized. Inside, it’s a simple space enlivened with bright colors and a disarming playlist with Tammy Wynette and Dolly Parton.”
Leroy and Lewis Barbecue (Barbecue) “What started as a food truck in 2017 can now be enjoyed in a spacious brick and mortar location in Garrison Park. The moniker refers to the duo of married couples who run this enticing operation where the spacious setting gives off mid-century vibes with its glazed brick exterior and peak-roofed dining area. The excellent barbecue menu isn’t built around brisket, although that beloved item is available as a daily special at the end of the week.”
Olamaie (American cuisine) “With its white clapboard and black shutters, Olamaie, named for the chef’s grandmother, mother, and daughter, is a charming spot north of downtown Austin, Expect southern cuisine that’s been given a contemporary polish… the chicken pressé is a novel take on chicken and dumplings and rounds out a bill of fare that also includes blackened dayboat fish, gumbo, and red rice with Gulf shrimp.
Dallas
Tatsu Dallas (Japanese cuisine) “With just 10 counter seats, the greatest challenge is securing a reservation at this sushi restaurant within the renovated Continental Gin Building – but perseverance will be rewarded because this is the genuine article. The omakase contains around 14 pieces and follows the Edomae tradition, so expect fish that gets steadily stronger in flavor as dinner progresses.”
Houston
BCN Taste & Tradition (Spanish cuisine) “Tucked away off Richmond Avenue, this restaurant, housed in a 1920s white stucco bungalow and managed by some of the most personable staff in the city, cooks with both flair and familiarity. Seafood is a highlight, as in brilliantly tender slivers of sea cucumber set on lobster rice, or thinly sliced octopus paired with potato purée and a striking smoked paprika. Chef Luis Roger knows his way around land, too, and his Iberian suckling pig arrives with a crackling crust, meltingly tender meat and a rich red wine sauce.”
CorkScrew BBQ (Spring; Barbecue) “You have a choice: Arrive before doors open at 11 or go eat somewhere else. In the tiny town of Spring just north of Houston, this barbecue sensation has drawn long lines ever since it opened in 2015. The kitchen is known to sell out fast, and it’s easy to see why: Will and Nichole Buckman smoke some of the finest brisket and beef ribs in the state.”
Musaafer, Houston
Le Jardinier Houston (French cuisine) With locations in Manhattan and Miami, Chef Alain Verzeroli also shares his verdant, stylish cooking with Houston. The location couldn’t be more apt: The Museum of Fine Arts matches his colorful dishes that are both beautiful and satisfying. Accomplished sauces, seasonal vegetables, and thoughtful cocktails tell a story in line with the restaurant’s name and design.”
March (Creative/Mediterranean cuisine) “This ambitious atelier sets its sights on a culinary exploration of the Mediterranean, studiously delving into individual regions one by one, from the Maghreb in Northwest Africa to Murcia and Andalusia in Southern Spain, to Greece, with a tasting menu and beverage program inspired by each cuisine in turn. But if all that sounds a bit precious, rest assured that the experience itself is utterly disarming, with a winning sense of hospitality that makes for a meal that is both engaging and luxe.”
March, Houston
Musaafer (Indian cuisine) “Dinner in a shopping mall doesn’t sound promising, unless you’re headed to Musaafer. The sheer scale of this grand hall, with its arches, towering windows, labyrinth-like layout, and elaborate patterns, feels like a palace of its own. The setting is as thrilling as the cooking.”
Tatemó (Mexican cuisine) “The famous idiom about not judging a book by its cover couldn’t be more applicable than to this tortilleria-turned-tasting menu. In an empty strip mall with little around except for a brewery and a doughnut shop, Chef Emmanuel Chavez delivers a beautifully pitched and portioned experience that celebrates heirloom corn from across Mexico.”
San Antonio
Mixtli (Mexican cuisine) “This trailblazing restaurant is from the visionary minds of Chefs Diego Galicia and Rico Torres. The acclaimed duo has fine dining chops but it’s a shared reverence for Mexican cuisine that is the real driving force behind this endeavor. Tasting menus shift often, focusing on a different part of Mexico and may offer up cutting-edge interpretations of Oaxacan specialties or a meal focused on the cuisine of “Tierra Caliente.”
MICHELIN Green Star Award Winners
The Green Star Award honors restaurants at the forefront of practices committed to a more sustainable gastronomy.
Dai Due, Austin
Austin
Dai Due (American cuisine) “A focus on locally sourced produce; seed oil-free cooking; recycling and composting program; locally sourced wine and beer from Texas; ethical harvesting of meat products; minimize food waste through reuse; fermentation program.”
Emmer & Rye, Austin
