Coach Garrido update

At a press conference this afternoon, DeLoss Dodds announced that Coach Garrido will receive a 4-game suspension as a result of his DWI arrest. Additional terms of the suspension were not disclosed. See this Bevo Beat blog post for more info. The post includes a rather lengthy video clip of the statement made by the coach at the press conference. I suspect there will be a more detailed story in the Statesman soon. When it shows up, I'll add a link.

UPDATE. As promised, a link to the Statesman's story: Garrido apologizes, gets four-game suspension by Alan Trubow.

UPDATE #2 (Jan. 24). The TexasSports.com page has finally posted something. They posted a transcript of the press conference. By the way, I use the term "press conference" very loosely. I did not realize when I posted the link yesterday that DeLoss Dodds did not take any questions. He made a statement, Augie made a statement, and that was that. I guess that's no big surprise, but I do find it disappointing. I also find it disappointing (but, again, not surprising) that the Athletic Department did not post anything at all to the web page for a full week. Sigh...
