There are some beers that are better than Shiner; there’s no arguing that. But it’s damn good for the price, and really damn good for a widely-available domestic bottle.

It's even better on tap

Plus, if you went to UT as an alcohol virgin (as I did), you learned to drink beer on Shiner. It was the keg of choice at every party. I worked on the Texan. We used to have daily budget meetings at the God-forsaken Hole in the Wall over pitchers of Shiner. So yes, my attachment is part emotional. But I still love the taste as well.

but what do I know … I also loved Pete’s Summer Brew and cannot find it to save my life.

Looking at next season

what weaknesses need to be addressed? I don’t really know a lot about this team, but by reading the comments, we really need to address the bullpen, improve the offense, and prevent the mental mistakes. Not only errors on defense, but our pitchers not giving us a chance by walking hitters and hitting them.

Then again with all that said, Game 1 should’ve been ours. Next year is the year!

Despite coming one game short of the top, it was the most memorable run this decade by a Longhorn team. Very proud of these kids. They are champions in my book. One of the great things about being a Horn is that we are sure to return to Omaha every year. This team may well make another run next season with some of the talent that we will retain. Hook’em!

Where was Mack?

I saw Roy WIlliams at a UNC game in this CWS, I saw Trent Johnson and Les Miles at our game 2 against LSU and then Miles went home and got his son and came back for the Championship Game.

At a Basketball school like UNC Williams is the lead dog and he came to show his support. At a football school the football coach is the lead dog. Where was ours?

Does Mack have an issue with Augie because of the drinking and driving thing or what?

Doubt that’s it. I think it has more to do with a combination of recruiting and a few other things. Isn’t his wife still going through some of the medical stuff?

That said, yes, I do believe there should’ve been more UT VIPs there. Of course it’s entirely possible that they were there, but weren’t shown on ESPN because there wasn’t time between shots of Les Miles twittering and Mahtook’s family.
