Before Texas faces Georgia in the Longhorns’ first game at the College World Series against Georgia on Saturday (7 p.m., ESPN), coach Jim Schlossnagle, pitcher Luke Harrison and All-American catcher Carson Tinney will meet with the media at Charles Schwab Field Omaha on Thursday.
The No. 6 overall seed in the NCAA Tournament, Texas (45-13), is in the College World Series for an NCAA-record 39th time after a two-game sweep of 11th-seeded Oregon in the Austin Super Regional. One of five SEC teams in Omaha (the most CWS participants ever from one conference), the Longhorns’ first meeting with the 2026 season against the Bulldogs is the only CWS game in which the chalk held.
Georgia (51-12) entered the NCAA Tournament as the No. 3 overall seed after claiming the SEC regular-season championship and winning the SEC Tournament. Like Texas, the Bulldogs swept through the regional before outlasting 14th-seeded Mississippi State in a pair of slugfests to win the Athens Super Regional.
On Texas Football will follow the Longhorns’ press conference, scheduled to start at 5:15 p.m., and pass along what Schlossnagle and the Texas players say before the Longhorns go for their 89th all-time CWS victory.
