As TexAgs senior reporter Olin Buchanan walked into Wednesday’s introductory press conference for coach Jim Schlossnagle at Texas, they made eye contact and nodded, each with a keen understanding of what had taken place over the past 36 hours.
“Olin, I’m glad you’re here,” Schlossnagle said. “I was asked a question after our game the other night, we’re playing for the national championship, as I said in my press conference when I took the A&M job, ‘There would never be a time that I wasn’t invested in that program.’ There never was a time that I wasn’t invested. I gave every, and when I say ‘I, our staff,’ we gave everything we possibly could to win that last ballgame.
“When the game ended, I want to publicly apologize to Richard Zane from TexAgs. He’s a young reporter, he asked a question that was an obvious question, I wish I could’ve answered that better. But in the moment, 30 minutes after the last pitch, all I could think about was our players. I really wasn’t in the mood to talk about myself or the future. So I apologize for that to Richard.”
As Buchanan began to ask a question later in the presser, Schlossnagle welcomed him to Austin with a smirk.
