  1. Even against air, that is a pretty good shooting performance by Bama. Sometimes they just look unbeatable, but other times just average. Such is basketball.
  2. As I said this was an organized plan to sabotage Jacquez and they got an underaged player totally wasted, which was the plan. The last thing they wanted was Jacquez to get picked up by the campus or city police. Then there would have been some kind of an investigation into the matter.
  3. They had to bring him home he was in no shape to do much of anything.
  4. Bama is rather hot from the arc. BYU just shot one that was nothing but net. Trouble was, it didn't get over the rim, just net.
  5. Typed in the wrong place the wind game was in 2008 and the Jacquez thing in 2012
  6. The Friday night game with the wind, Texas got out to a big we thought lead in the first, pitching just fell apart and Texas got killed, the score was like 31-12. This was in 2012 in Columbia. The Jacquez thing was well documented. He was the starter for Saturday. They weren't just coeds; they were members of a Missouri support group, and it was an organized plan to take him out as a starting pitcher the next day. It was his birthday, and these coeds found out and went and talked to him after the Friday night game. He was a dumb Freshman with hormones, and not of legal age to drink. They took him to a local place, with the help of the staff there he was allowed to drink and drink and stayed out really late and got totally wasted. During his warmup pitches in the bottom of the first inning, he just walked off the mound into the dugout and threw up and that was that. The next day a starting player for Missouri, the first baseman posted on a Missouri board forum thanking these coeds for doing a great job. Augie was pissed and dismissed him from the team. He got drafted and kicked around in the minors and then a longer period in the Mexican League. 6/8/13 Round 25 - RHP - Ricky Jacquez 5-9, 160, R/R, 5-6-93, Central Arizona College (AZ) High School Earned three letters for Coach Andy Powers at Franklin High School in El Paso, Texas Recorded 209 strikeouts with an 11-3 record over 119 innings of work during his last two years at Franklin Pitched and played shortstop for the West Texas Cats summer club Drafted by the Chicago Cubs in the 39th round in the 2011 MLB Draft 5-10-12 - We tweeted yesterday that Ricky Jacquez, Freshman Texas Baseball pitcher, was dismissed from the team for unspecified violations of team rules. The announcement hit the media avenues today that Jacquez was, in fact, asked to leave the team. Two days… two freshmen pitchers gone. Parker French lost to a shoulder injury and Ricky Jacquez lost to ….. well, that’s the hush part. While it was not disclosed exactly what Jacquez did to merit his dismissal by Augie Garrido and the Texas Athletic department, rumors have certainly been thrown around. We will not get into those but what we will tell you is that the series of events in the Missouri game in which Jacquez was supposed to pitch were a bit odd.

  8. The thing about that 1989 title game is that nobody expected it to be played that day. Yes, I there and it poured rain all morning, under normal circumstances it would have been postponed. However, CBS was going to carry the game live at noon, but only if it was played that day. So, of course it was played and yes if it had been the next day, Dressendorfer would have been the starting pitcher. The big matchup of the Series was when Texas and Dressendorfer faced LSU and Big Ben McDonald, Texas shelled him, and he was knocked out in the 4th inning to win. Dress wasn't sharp either, but Bryan Dare came in and closed it out. Coach Gus asked Dressendorfer if he could go, and he said he couldn't yet. Scott Bryant had to start instead and was wild, Dare had to come in and get out of the inning. Texas made like three errors and fell behind and never recovered. The first inning was a killer as Texas led off the game with back-to-back singles, but David Tolleson got picked off first on of all things the fake to third and throw to first play and Texas didn't score. The uniforms looked good though. The two Texas players at the start of this video were actually guys that didn't play that much, Curry Hardin a pitcher #13 and backup catcher Eddie Toledo #35. Maybe that's why Gus let them do it.

  10. Back from the past, been talking about him all year, has serious stuff, a big breaker to go with the mid 90's heater. Would be the best pitcher on the team, if he could get that stuff under control.
  11. I can tell you how Frank Erwin saved us in the baseball parking lot one time from the UT Police. We were drinking beer, and they said it was against the Regent's rules. I saw Frank coming out and getting into his white caddy. I ran and got him, and he came and talked to the cops. He asked them what was going on, my young friend here says you have a problem. They told him we were drinking in the parking lot and that was against the Regent's Rules. He looked at the head cop and said "I wrote the goddamn Regent's Rules and I say they can. Cop said yes sir and got out of there quick with is buddies. Isn't that better than pyramid stories? 😃
  12. I do have a lot of stories, almost too many to tell and some I really can't even if the statutes of limitations are probably no longer in effect.
  13. Spike was a special person and player, when Texas lost to Miami at the 82 CWS. On my way out of Rosenblatt Stadium, I walked by where the players went into the locker room, this was well after the game. Spike was standing outside the door still in his uniform crying. I stopped by and asked him what was wrong, you gave it all you had. He said he didn't want to go in and take off his Longhorn uniform for the last time. I almost started crying myself. I opened the door and kind of shooed him in. He was all Longhorn, talk about bleeding burnt orange. Saw him soon in Arlington and his parent when he was in MLB playing the Rangers.
  14. Typo, I think faster than I type sometimes. I knew Spike and his parents very well.
  15. The uniforms I ordered were supposed to be white. The company said they had used up all the special cotton which was called "brick cotton" on the white Dodger's uniforms and only had gray left, so I had to get the gray.
  16. Yes, those were the ones in the late 70's and early 80's. They had some uniforms that were all burnt orange then, but several had faded to a shade of kind of pink, they got washed with the football uniforms at DKR. Spike Owens used to call them the "pink pajamas." This is what I meant by not so nice uniforms once upon a time. They were pull over jerseys with no buttons. The pants had no belts. The polyester stuff like some MLB teams wore then.
  17. The truth about that jersey and the uniform is that once upon a time Texas didn't have nice new uniforms, hard to believe but it was. In the 1980's a guy I knew designed those uniforms after a design from the 60's. I pitched them to Coach Gus, and he finally agreed if we could get them and the money. With the help of the baseball club, there was no Longhorn Foundation then, we made it happened. I placed the order with the same company in California that made the Dodger's uniforms. It took a while to get them, the team thought I was just making it up. Then one day at practice a Fed EX truck pulled up and I went out and the guy asked me where to deliver these uniforms. I said let me show you and I took him down to the locker room. I walked in first and I think it was Doug Hodo said sarcastically when are we getting those uniforms. I smiled and said right now. The delivery guy wheeled in the boxes. They had name plates, but Gus wasn't having that. They wore them for several years. Then in 1989, a manager saw them and really liked them, and they wore them for that title game, which we unfortunately lost to Wichita State. When that manager was about to graduate, he called me and in the dead of night we went to the third base locker room in a closed area where all the uniforms were kept. He gave me the one pictured, which is #26. It was Coach Bill Bethea's jersey. I got #32 for the guy that designed the uniforms, which belonged to Bryan Cisarik.
  18. Hardly, think back to the 1989 championship game at the CWS.
  19. We really are. I think you might have some memories of that jersey I just posted on here.
  20. I'm partial to this, but I have personal reasons.
  21. No, but I played a lot of baseball. I have seen some movies though if that is what you mean.
  22. No, that is how it's scored, always has been.
  23. The batter is given a hit.
  24. Mack could join Craig and Keith on the call and tell us how Texas is really getting the "explosive" plays tonight.
  25. Left fielder admired that shot for a good bit there.
