Augie Garrido suspended with pay after being booked on suspicion of driving under the influence.

Isn't he like 80 now?

This is a stunner, a real big stunner, with college baseball starting in about two months. I will be interested to see how UT will handle this while he's suspended.

This will hit the 'Horns baseball team really hard.

 

[Inky_Wretch]

With pay!?!

 

[Shaggy]

I'm curious as to how Augie is with the media generally. I've dealt with him several times and he was wonderful when Texas won and a prick when Texas lost.

Par for the Augie course?

D-3,

Practice starts in about 10 days.

Augie has a huge ego. To some extent, he's earned it. But his team's conduct after it lost to Fullerton in 2004 was inexcusable and he must assume a large portion of that blame.

 

[D-Backs Hack]

With pay!?!

There's gotta be a better word for that than "suspension."

Let's use "vacation."

With pay!?!

Maybe that stops if he's convicted.

He's 69 ... but that's a hard 69.

Hook 'em up, 'Horns.

Huston Street does not lie. ...

The Longhorns watched from the dugout as the Titans celebrated for about 10 minutes, said junior pitcher Huston Street.

Once in their locker room, "most of us were crying and spending that time with each other," Street said. "Their was no disrespect on our part. We think they're a deserving champion."

Street probably knew, or at least I hope, that it is 'there' and not 'their.'

Cover the Augie/the Titans for one season for the Daily Titan and didn't have any problems with him. Granted, that was his first Fullerton stint and pushing 20 years ago.

Street didn't print it. The USA Today did. Street knows all.

That "second place trophy snub" was, as I remember it, a simple misunderstanding.
Texas wasn't prepared for how to react in the case of a loss.
No team prepares for that scenario.

Big misunderstanding, that's all.
