  1. As Steamboat has mentioned Scott has been stabilized and a path forward is now being considered as to what procedures to take. We have a very large group email that consists of nearly every Wild Bunch person and others from UT Baseball and UT Football. It keeps us informed on each other pretty well. Steamboat and I are a part of this group email, and we know each other. I have known and traveled with Scott and before his passing Jose Pena to so many games in the past. It started with my first year as a student at UT and one of my professors was also a college umpire that had done games at Disch-Falk. He taught production for doing live sports. He also did that kind of work and was still doing that for CBS for the Sun Bowl in El Paso each year. We talked about baseball, and I told him I had followed Texas sports since I was a kid and couldn't wait for baseball season. He told me he wanted me to meet some people when the season started, and I said ok. When opening day at that the Disch came that season I met him at the front gate, and he led me around to section 2 and down the steps where Wilson and others were. I didn't know any of them. He just addressed the whole section and said that this guy belongs with you. He loves UT, he knows his baseball, and he is a real smartass. I have to go work a game and I leave him for better or worse in your hands. He turned and left and after a period of time I became a part of this motley crew for so many years. Through my student days and after graduation. I have told some of the stories in various UT Baseball threads and some included Scott, such as the picture I posted of several of us with a hog head before a game with Arkansas in Omaha. I have known him for I believe 48 years now and hope to share more stories from the past and the future. Please pray for Scott to return and start a new streak!

    Scott Wilson

    Long time superfan of University of Texas sports Scott Wilson had a heart attack in the Jacksonville Airport and has been hospitalized. Scott, is I think 74 years old. He has a very long streak of attending UT football games and was on his way for the game against Florida on Saturday in Gainsville. This is all I know at this point. There should be more information tomorrow as to how severe it is.
  3. Texan Maranda Lambert supports two teams at the Ryder Cup in New York. She wears UT shirts at her concerts sometimes. She recently took up golf and seems to have caught the golf bug and gone all in.
  4. Hate to see the passing of a Texas Baseball icon. That's what Jon Bible was and was a fixture at the Disch for so many years. Jon was a UT grad, but unlike his usual crewmate Randy Christal, who was also a UT grad, Jon never worried about being called a UT homer. He was the most knowledgeable college umpires I ever knew. He did MLB games during one of the years the umps went on strike and most said he did a good job there. We Wild Bunch guys gave him hell of course during those many games he called at the Disch, but we had great respect for him. He was a part of the famous Bible family and was a really good guy. We often talked to him after games for clarifications of calls. He was always willing to explain the situation and the call. He was usually always spot on in his rulings. He was also a very good college football official and did some Texas games. We saw him and Christal lots of times at the same haunts we went to for meals after a game. Jon favored the double chicken fried steak dinner at the old Stallion on North Lamar. Jon Bible was a Texas Baseball legend just like great players and coaches at the Disch and it was the end of an era when he quit umpiring there. He will be missed by anyone that frequented the Disch at those games that he called for all those years there.
  5. You seem to be the only person that gets a kick out of this guy and like to egg him on. This is because of Pierce and everybody knows it also.
  6. This is also always your response because it's all you can do. You can never refute anything on baseball or any other subject.
  7. No, you are by the biggest idiot that knows nothing about Texas Baseball or the game. You just follow me around because of your idiotic post about negative talk about Borba long ago. You add nothing to this board or any thread, just nonsense. You posted that when I said to pitch Gasparino inside that I was giving away secrets to the Kentucky coaching staff. That is by far the most idiotic post ever. Care to explain that gem Mr. Know it All.
  8. Yes, to all on the hitting.
  9. The pitchforks are out Mr. Grahovac, something about being swept by till coming to Collie, a hapless Missouri team in dominating fashion. Then there is the little matter of not making a Regional with this uber talented team kept together by Earley. Don't think the Aggy masses, big cigars, or even the admins which are taking major heat as it is wants to hear the keep Earley or else speech again. They want Earley and Alberts heads, think Alberts would be willing to appease them to maybe save his job.
  10. OU may be playing worse than Texas. Florida just tied them and Kentucky for tenth place in the SEC with 13-14 records. Florida started out 1-11 in the SEC. The key game is Friday night against Witherspoon; he is one of the best in college baseball, but it really falls off after him.
  11. Florida managed their pitching to win the series. Won on Friday with mostly bullpen guys. They had it going with their ace yesterday till the delay took him out. Saved their best in the pen for today and it worked out despite the wildness. Their hitters did enough and Texas not so much.
  12. Sunday is for hitters and Texas can't do that now.
  13. It just takes too many walks to score enough.
  14. At least he swung at a strike for the k.
  15. Just need three more walks, Texas rally.
  16. Rodriguez needs to get one up in that jet stream to right. If he gets a pitch to hit.
  17. Georgia loses both games today 9-3 and 5-4. They have self-eliminated themselves from title contention.
  18. Missouri now up 10-1. Earley is toast, no way he survives a sweep by them at home. Aggy got be almost dead for making the playoffs. Going to be interesting where Earley goes.
  19. Did I say the hitters look passive; they still do. Something is really wrong, what is going on with Tulo. Are players just not listening to him anymore or is it something else?
  20. Missouri is up now 7-1 on Aggy in the sixth. Thought Aggy would look dead today, and they do. Texas is going to have to evaluate some things, like the starting rotation.
  21. Kentucky completes the sweep today 7-2.
  22. OU is about to be swept at Kentucky.
  23. You can't be getting shut out at home on a Sunday, by a freshman pitcher that hasn't been that impressive most of the season.
  24. Nobody knows it seems but the coaches.
  25. Gasparino catches that.
