Up next in our “Show It Off” college features is University of Texas, another storied program who’s collective swagger knows no bounds. Everybody knows, if you play for the Longhorns you’re one of the elite athletes in the country, no matter the sport or the season.
This is the second time we’ve featured Texas, and if it weren’t for the guy in charge, Vince Alcazar (along with Casey Harms at UCSB and my boy Cam), we wouldn’t have any of these features at all. A huge thank you to Vince for tolerating my badgering. Another thank you goes to senior Nathan Thornhill (twitter), a guy with a 2.68 career ERA and a bright future in baseball, who was gracious enough to get me some great shots as well. Below are the contents of one of the finest clubhouses in college baseball, period. Follow @UTBaseballEQ for more looks.
The embarrassment of riches in the leather department is just absurd. These guys get to choose whatever they want to wear, whatever they feel makes them play best. That’s gotta be an amazing feeling, and a nice payoff for playing under 5-time CWS champion coach Augie Garrido, who is known to demand the most from his players.
