I think you might have some memories of that jersey I just posted on here.

Oh yes.

Good times.

Those guys striking out going to get ribbed to death by teammates.

Lulz.  Was that actually fair or did the ump just want to go home?

Guess it depends on how old you are lol

Thank goodness because no one wanted to watch another inning of this after we had runner on 3rd with no outs.

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.

Hardly, think back to the 1989 championship game at the CWS.

It was before my time but were the uniforms with the old English script liked? I think it was old English. 

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.

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.

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.

We should have a @NBHorn7 AMA. I’m hooked.


For that that matter @immamac, why don’t we just have a AMA section on this site?

Burnt ends could contribute…. We have tons of interesting people here like @NBHorn7. @Armybrat could tell us about what that newly discovered city under the pyramids was like.

@Vic Mackey could give us advice on the best creamy Creations flavors to stock up on when you bring her back to your place…..

I think it would  be sure fired hit on this site.

For sure. I’ve known Craig pretty much my entire life. I played basketball and traversed the neighborhood with his older son (Andy) and was in the same grade with his oldest daughter (Haley) from elementary through high school. That man is a Texas Athletics treasure. Grew up listening to him on the radio and still fucking love it. Makes me feel like I’m 8 years old again each time I hear him broadcasting.

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.

Long flight and just started the replay.  Our helmets are burnt orange and not even close to the shitty osu orange on the jerseys.  And the block T on the hats is fat and stupid.    You can’t win it all with bad uniforms.   Who the fuck is in charge of this crap?   That’s all I got.

But what do you think about the T on the jersey???

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? 😃

Just got home. Nice win. Mashing. Good pitching is fun to watch, too. No Cotton Eyed Joe during the stretch is bullshit. Pretty sure we saw Luke Wilson watching the game under the radar. I know he lives here. Anyone else ever seen him at the Disch??

Fun game to attend.  Got to see three bombs.  Hoping that side-armed late reliever hitting 95 mph can keep throwing strikes. He’d be a different look out of the pen.

Aiden Moffett. Transfer from LSU. https://texaslonghorns.com/sports/baseball/roster/aiden-moffett/13961
 

Dude can throw gas but has had serious command issues. Nice to see him have easy success here. 

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.

“OSU orange” time to get the eyes checked

But, because you made me think of it, I will reminisce.  Back then, following Texas Baseball was a bit harder than it is today.  I was still a student, a law student, so going to games was readily available, but news coverage not so much.  The Daily Texan was a bit hit or miss with box scores, and news of things like the CWS also a bit hit or miss,  especially given that DT was running on summer staff by June.

Add in the fact that I was taking first-year exams in May, I was pretty unplugged.

Nevertheless, I was aware of the championship series/game against Wichita State, but completely unaware that it was a single game championship.  So I tuned in and watched and was completely bumfuzzled that it seemed to be over after one game.
