AUSTIN -- At Texas, the aura of Augie Garrido is everywhere.
From late-inning pleas to the heavens to his jersey hanging in the dugout and the "Augie" sign on the fence in left field, players and fans have made sure that the national championship-winning coach may be gone but he is far from forgotten.
Garrido spent nearly 40 seasons in college baseball, his final 20 with the Longhorns. He died in March after suffering a stroke at age 79, leaving a legacy of five national championships and 1,975 career victories.
Three months after he died, the two programs Garrido led to national championships, Texas and Cal State Fullerton, are both hosting super regionals this weekend with a chance to return to the College World Series.
