Houses of the Enemy - UFCU Disch-Falk Field

History

The Longhorns are the Red Wings of Big 12 baseball. Hate and despise them, but deep down if you really are willing to admit it, they have a great history with plenty of winning players, teams, and coaches. There are way too many categories where they are at the top or near the top. They currently play at UFCU Disch-Falk Field, and have since the 1975 season. The corporate nametag (University Federal Credit Union) was added in 2006, but the two main names go much further back in history. Billy Disch was the head coach in Austin from 1911 to 1939, winning over 500 games and 20 conference titles. Bibb Falk coached in Austin from 1940-42 and 1946-67, winning two college World Series titles in his tenure. These two coaches account for almost 1,000 wins for the Longhorns.
