    Fuck this SEC+ shit in the goat ass.  They try and make it as hard as possible to watch the fucking games.  Fuck the SEC.  Fuck ESPN.  Fuck Disney.

    Just bring up YouTube.

    The thing about that 1989 title game is that nobody expected it to be played that day. 

    Yes, I there and it poured rain all morning, under normal circumstances it would have been postponed.

    However, CBS was going to carry the game live at noon, but only if it was played that day.

    So, of course it was played and yes if it had been the next day, Dressendorfer would have been the starting pitcher.

    The big matchup of the Series was when Texas and Dressendorfer faced LSU and Big Ben McDonald, Texas shelled him, and he was knocked out in the 4th inning to win. Dress wasn't sharp either, but Bryan Dare came in and closed it out.

    Coach Gus asked Dressendorfer if he could go, and he said he couldn't yet.

    Scott Bryant had to start instead and was wild, Dare had to come in and get out of the inning. Texas made like three errors and fell behind and never recovered.

    The first inning was a killer as Texas led off the game with back-to-back singles, but David Tolleson got picked off first on of all things the fake to third and throw to first play and Texas didn't score.

    The uniforms looked good though.

    The two Texas players at the start of this video were actually guys that didn't play that much, Curry Hardin a pitcher #13 and backup catcher Eddie Toledo #35. Maybe that's why Gus let them do it.

     

    holy shit. Curry Harden is a name i haven't thought of in 3 decades. dude was a character.

    The only people that thought “we had to hire Terry” after that EE run are Texas fans who put too much emphasis on perception. 

    No one else would have cared if we said thanks but no thanks and hired someone else. The news cycle moves too quickly for people to get caught up in that for more than 48 hours. 

    The same could really be said about firing Beard.

    I can severely vouch for El Ultimo Taco in Brownsville. Better than anything I have had in San Antonio.

    Edwin Simmons broke my heart.  His running stride made defenders look like they were standing still.  I still remember watching his TD kickoff return in person.  He looked like Darth Vader with his helmet on.  So much potential, sad knees.

    Yeah I was sitting on the floor in Jester East playing Donovan Pitts some Atari and heard this voice like James Earl Jones and looked up and Edwin was towering over behind me. He was imposing as hell. I think he ended up selling cars somewhere…when he was wearing clothes.
