_ The College Baseball Blog thinks Augie got off a little easy:
Would Augie have suspended one of his players for only four games of the season for doing the same thing? I don't think so.
_ Austin American-Statesman writer Kirk Bohls, recorded these comments about the 4-day suspension:
Texas blew it.
And we're not talking the Breathalyzer test that Augie Garrido declined to take after his drunken-driving arrest last weekend.
The school chose to send the weakest message it could Friday at a news conference at Bellmont Hall. Guess Longhorn fans should be grateful the school didn't give him a raise.
_ Austin TV station KVUE says Garrido is Lucky: Augie Garrido is a decent man who made a big mistake. His apology was heartfelt and sincere. He'll be 70 years old next month and he says he'll learn from this and grow from this. I believe he will. If his message reaches one person and, after a few drinks, that person calls a cab instead of sitting behind the wheel of a car, this 2nd chance will have been worth it.
