Friday, June 16, 2023 – HELL!

Friday, June 16, 2023 – HELL!

Texas temperatures are hotter than the hinges of Hell. And it is only June! The reason for this is two-fold. Number one is climate change, but number two is because the Devil got to choose between Hell or Texas in the summer when God kicked him out of heaven.

It is less than three months before college football begins. Me me me me me meee! Warming up my vocal chords! Of course the big news around town is the renewed rivalry between THE University of Texas and Texas A&M University in 2024. The game will be played in Kyle Field on a date to be determined. So some deal was struck and THE University said, “Ok, we’ll play there.!” So let’s get ready to stand and sing with the conviction “Good-bye to Texas University; So long to the orange and the white…”

HWIT, I think we should get through the 2023 season before we begin any discussion on one game in 2024. Also please note TU fans that every game in the SEC is considered a rivalry game. You can fight with Tennessee over who is UT! Perhaps you could consider UT2.

Moving on…From radio station HWIT I dedicate this song to the TU baseball team.

Blinded by the light; Revved up like a Deuce-Another runner in the night.

What a horrible, gut wrenching, heart breaking way to lose a game. If you are not aware it was the bottom of the ninth, game tied with two outs, Stanford was down to their last out. The four Texas players (SS, 2B, CF and RF) all lost the ball in the lights. And the ball falls among the four of them. Stanford runner comes home, wins the game and goes to the College World Series.

I truly empathize with the team. I really know how it feels to lose in such a terrible way. It is something that fans never forget. It will leave a bad taste in your mouth for years to come. I bet it is like watching the football leave TU’s Justin Tucker’s toe and go between the uprights of the goal post as time expires on November 24, 2011, to defeat Texas A&M. The following year the Aggies left the Big 12 for the SEC. Rumors still abound that if that kick had not been good, the Aggies would have stayed in the Big 12.

Good luck as you enter the SEC, TU! See you in 2024! WHOOP!
