“Guess ECU doesn’t have a hand Gesture either. Show a little class and act like you’ve been there. Oh wait. Sorry,” Swindell wrote.
While Swindell was upset about the gesture, he certainly gave credit where credit is due.
“I will say this. ECU is deserving. And it will be a special moment,” he wrote.
The Longhorns, who need a win Saturday to keep its season alive, are currently trialing ECU 7-4 in the bottom of the seventh inning. You can catch the remainder of the game live on ESPN2.
