A little bit of trivia for you; Blade Tidwell is the first scholarship athlete to play for UT from our small town school since my Dad played football with Pat Augustine back in the fifties. My Dad graduated from HS in 59, and I believe Mr. Augustine, who played football for UT graduated from HS in 58. It's been a couple of years. What's even crazier, is Blade Tidwell's teammate, Ryan Weathers is in the starting rotation for one of the best teams in MLB; the SD Padres, and is doing very well at the ripe old age of 21. He gave up 3 earned runs on Mon. night baseball this week, but it was all by swinging bunts, and little bloopers, but his ERA is still pretty good, at 2.45.
