  1. Yeah it’s pretty clear what Ty meant was just when espn started covering the CWS Texas was it.
  2. I added more to it, 81-84 Texas was semis, champs, finals (I didn’t look past 84). Those years I actually laid on the living room floor and watched Texas win, it’s when I fell in love with Texas baseball at the age of 7 - 10 years old.
  3. I knew that but the way he talked about it it sounded like maybe Texas CWS game mighta been the first ever college baseball broadcast or even the first broadcast period. I think it was more just what I found - espn covered the CWS and at that time Texas was a permanent fixture in Omaha. So Gus and Texas didn’t really start it but definitely a major factor early on.
  4. I’m digging into it … espn first aired in 1979 and college basketball was first in 1979 but the CWS coverage started in 1980… https://digitalcommons.unomaha.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1053&context=commfacpub Texas didn’t make re CWS in 80 but advanced to the semis in 81, 82 and won as we know in 83. Texas also lost in the finals in 84…. Ive stopped checking but clearly he was referring to ESPN used the CWS to launch and Texas was a huge part of its success as a network early on.
  5. I know who he is just didn’t recognize his voice.
