He certainly does not look like someone that is regreting what he did.

maybe he wanted to smile to keep this photo and use it as a passport photo- save a few bucks!
Looks good for a 69 year old at 1:00AM...a lot better than Nick Nolte for sure.
Great photo for this year's baseball program...lol...

"Expect Garrido to hold himself accountable"
"Garrido will bounce back. I know because I spent four seasons covering his Texas baseball team earlier this decade. A decade best described as the golden era of Longhorns baseball. Texas played in four straight College World Series (2002-2005), winning two national championships and playing in three finals. In the middle of it all was Garrido, part coach, part zen master, pushing all the right buttons."

Well, I'm a Augie fan, so if he has a drinking problem, he needs to get help, and face it, but he needs to understand that many young men look up to him and he's gotta lead by a positive example. Hopefully, he will admit his mistake and get his priorities in row. With his current suspension, does anyone believe he'll be back this season? Or how long the suspension might be? Blue Skies-
Let me preface this by saying this is just a question...
Does anyone know what would happen to one of his players if the situation were reversed?

Well we know when some went out past curfew a couple of years ago, during the College World Series
playoffs in Arlington, they were sent home even though some thought that cost Texas the series.

Why must we assume that Coach Garrido has a drinking problem---as far as I can ascertain this is the first experience of this sort for Coach
This may well be a once in a lifeime happening--also is he on any medication that might interact with the alcohol?
Not condoning what happened --just looking for facts-_Hate to see a guys career ruined for one mistake

I agree with TRhit, we can not assume that Augie has any kind of drinking problem. You know what happens when you assume something.... 
I'm unsure as to whether this is Augies first offense or not, but his drinking problem has been the subject of rumors for years now. I'm quite possibly the biggest UT homer on this board, but this is an absolute embarrasment for the University and coach garrido personally. I can only hope that he takes some steps to correct this problem and move forward in a positive fashion.
