    did any of you see the ESPN special on Sunday night about Augie Garrido, baseball coach at Texas? What did ya think?

    saw Tom Holliday, pitching coach at NCSU (formerly at Texas) in several shots so this must have been filmed a few years ago.

    another

    and the two emotions always tugging at a player: confidence and fear. I think this conflict prevents more kids from succeeding than physical attributes.

    Augie got a bit red-faced and pi____ed off there one time for the camera.
