Yeah, that really p***** me off. I try to root for the Horns and the Aggies when Rice is not involved (Texas pride thing), but that display of arrogance did not sit well with me. And honestly, I don't like the idea of anyone but Rice celebrating on our field.
Big props to UH though. I hope they do well against LSU tonight.
What issue was their with Horns fans and Tekyl?
Teykl was at UT for two seasons with 0 and 1.2 IP, then transferred to San Jac before Rice this year, and the players were giving him hell from the dugout when he was on the bump. Although it could have been simply to get into his head to give up the tying run, which he did.
Not only the chirping from the dugout, but when Tekyl went to back up home plate on the sac fly, their entire dugout ran out there and danced around and celebrated and talked trash to him after the run scored. Several got in his face. One looked like he was going to chest bump him. It was pretty ridiculous. Of course the umpire wasn't looking, and only started looking when Teykl started giving it back.
A few months later, just saw this photo of the incident. Classy bunch of guys over at UT.
