    Just read the Horns didn't come out of the locker room for the trophy presentation, the first time in 25 years the runner up did not come out to accept a 2nd place trophy. They were not required to by the NCAA, but they're taking a lot of heat for it for being disrespectful to the CWS and Fullerton. On top of that Horton and Augie are good friends.

    I heard about this on the radio this morning. Apparently Auggie has an explanation that he will provide tomorrow.

    I can't imagine any reason Auggie would give that would reverse my feelings of utter shame and disappointment in our team for acting like sore losers. We got beat, fair and square. This is just disgraceful and not representative of the University of Texas.

    Yeah. Auggie said he was giving the guys a little pep talk. An NCAA rep went in the clubhouse twice to get someone to come out, nobody would. Pretty poor example to set for those kids, how to deal with adversity, sportsmanship & all.

    Texas played like arse & deserved to lose, they got beat in the field, at the plate, on the mound & in the dugout.

    The best part was that bigtexxx typed up his post before the game was even over and sat there waiting for the final out to post it.

    I happened to be browsing the board yesterday and saw the very end of the game, and the 2nd the last out was made this thread popped up.

    Based on his sig for the last few months, I wouldn't expect anything less.

    Rice couldn't even get out of its own regional at home with Texas Southern and Texas A&M...please. That program is going in the toilet.

    Augie, what ever happened to 'humble in victory, gracious in defeat'?

    :confused:

    I'm not sure which is worse...the terminal case of the shortdick that afflicts many supporters of Rice when it comes to UT; or the outlandish jackassery of many UT peeps.

    Someone has UT envy.


    Not only did they not come out for the trophy, apparently they weren't made available to the media, which is required.

    Honestly, can you blame them? I don't recall any UT fans starting threads or even making fun of Rice in other threads when they choked up an 8th inning lead against the Aggies.

    If you're going to talk **** about Texas, I'm going to bring it right back. I'm not the one who had 2003 national championship scoreboard in my sig all year.

    Good. Glad you can admit your point about the Rice program is just as full of asterisks as anything said by the Riceboys. ;)

    Your memory is short, my friend. Not representing your UT diploma very well. Oh...wait...nevermind...

    What are you referring to, the "Ouch" post? That was after my good luck post. Since I was personally rooting for the Owls, there was no reason for me to try to rub anything in.

    Nice try though. Oh...wait...no it wasn't...

    Still upset that your brother had his posts changed by a UT admin, huh?
