  3. I'm not going to be doing a username change. I appreciate the community feedback and concern. I know that I'm an alcoholic. This isn't some shit that needs an intervention. I know much more about my personal* condition than any of you do and I am very aware of it and have been for years now. I wish that it was easier to quit drinking - I would like for it to not be a part of my life any longer. It's extremely difficult and it (unfortunately) takes time. I've done AA. I've been to rehab multiple times. I've been arrested twice as many times. There are ways in which I'm wired that are not conducive to success and I fight against that shit every day of my life. I made an ass out of myself and put some stupid shit on the table and when I attempted to make good on it you all as a whole communicated that it wasn't particularly important and that you'd like if I was less of an annoying drunken fuck as often as I have been since I started posting here over 6 years ago. I hear that feedback. I feel my own feedback when I drink whether it's my mind, body or spirit and it only gets worse. I'm painfully aware of all of this. I love this community and I seriously appreciate that y'all care and I apologize for whenever I'm undeservedly a dick towards any of you - because all it is is a manifestation of my own character flaws. Well - most of the time - some of the time y'all post really retarded shit. I try and work on being a better person every day and this is an opportunity for me to take it a bit more seriously. All love - ztejas

  4. I want to thank Coach Terry for pouring his heart and soul into this program. He was forced into a tough situation and did a damn good job. I wish him the very best.

  5. Some folks are just cunts. RT was a key reason for the emergence of Texas basketball onto the national stage under Barnes. Kevin Durant came to Austin because of him. He stepped down from a HC position to become an assistant under Beard in a move to return Texas to the level of expectation he helped create. He stepped in and took over during some of the worst days of the program and kept things together to deliver one of the best seasons in program history. Rodney Terry gave more sweat, blood, and tears to the University of Texas Men's Basketball program than any of us ever could. Any comments to him other than "thank you" are spoken by a cunt.

  7. I don't completely understand the poo pooing of this hire. Maybe expectations were too high regarding who Texas was going to be able to bring in? Sometimes there's a candidate that's such a perfect fit that there's no question they're the one. Chris Beard was that kind of hire. Folks like Roy Williams at North Carolina, Bill Self at Kansas, Calipari at Kentucky, Pitino at Louisville. But usually there are flaws with hires. How many people considered great basketball coaches were can't misses when they were hired? Hurley certainly wasn't. Oates wasn't (is he considered a "great" coach at this point without a ring? Dunno). Scheyer at Duke was a big risk. Indiana can't get their coaching hire right since Knight left decades ago. Look at UT's history. Abe Lemons wasn't a can't miss. Bob Wetlich was an assistant under Knight. Tom Penders was hired for a fun style coming from Rhode Island. Rick Barnes had some minor success at Providence and Clemson, but had already earned a reputation as not being able to win in the tournament - a rep he still enjoys today. Smart had a spectacular single season at VCU. Beard was as close to a sure thing as we've ever hired, but he's a UT grad in special circumstances. That's akin to UNC being able to hire Roy Williams from Kansas. Rodney Terry became the head coach because of circumstances more than career metrics. I'd argue Sean Miller has a better coaching resume than any head coach ever hired at Texas other than maybe Chris Beard, due to Beard having the national championship appearance. But in terms of numbers of Sweet 16s before coming to Texas, we've never had anyone of this caliber. I'm genuinely excited about this hire. I already know I'm going to be frustrated by his defense, because defense is more important to me than it is Miller, but oh well. He's going to run an explosive and exciting offense. He knows how to get people open for their shots. He has a vision for what he wants his basketball team to look like and he'll recruit to that vision. I've seen too many coaches get enamored with the talent they can bring to Austin rather than recruiting the talent that fits the scheme they're going to employ. That won't be Miller's issue. Miller has shown he's a very good coach. We'll see what he can do at 56. But I feel like he's hungry and wants a chance to compete at the highest level, and he didn't feel like he was going to get that chance at Xavier. And if he doesn't work out we'll move on and go get someone else. By then I imagine the college athletics landscape will have made some seismic shifts, so who knows what college basketball looks like at that point. But in the meantime I feel like it's an outstanding hire. It's not perfect, but very few hires are. If he has some early success with the exciting style of offense he runs and the level of financial support Texas basketball receives, I don't see any reason we can't return to the Texas basketball heydays of TJ Ford/Durant/Augustin/et al.. BTW, saying Texas basketball is a top 15 NIL school is hilarious to me. We have some very deep pockets who are emotionally connected to the success of the basketball program. It's not Phil Knight level of support for Oregon football, but it's very deep. And it's basketball specific.

  8. From what I've seen here and some talk I've heard, the list is: 1) When he signed on, Schloss was promised some facilities improvements, not just to the ballpark, but also practice facilities and such. Those were slow played after the Jimbo firing. 2) After their success in 2023, Schloss asked for more money for his assistant coaches. He was turned down, because Jimbo. 3) As part of the post Jimbo austerity program, some of the baseball support staff were let go without letting Schloss know until after it was done. When he protested, he was told that it was just that way and he'd better get used to it. 4) Alberts heard that Schloss was dissatisfied with the above developments and might consider looking elsewhere, so he called Schloss into his office and basically told him that if he was unhappy at A&M, he should look elsewhere. He invited Schloss to leave. In short, A&M Aggied it up as only they can. Why would anyone want to stay and be part of that kind of unprofessional cluster fuck?

  20. Just traded in our Model Y for an Audi Q6 etron. Much nicer car and doesn’t have the Musk….. well, musk all over it. Of course trade-in values are dropping like a rock but oh well, they won’t be any higher than they are today. And yes we specifically got rid of the Y because of Musk. (Also don’t want to wait for tariffs to be slapped on imported cars, which you know is coming.)

  24. I've updated the depth chart spreadsheet with the 2025 Spring roster. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1TzoBTIvCXfZIk7Sz3C9txMg0yPvrXyVM/edit?gid=1658728281#gid=1658728281 We can all rejoice that Max Merril is no longer on the roster (@closetojumping) The roster is at 81, so plenty of room for more transfers.

  25. 1) Looks like Charlie Williams (On3) put in a CB pick for Mark Bowman, to Texas. 2) Also looks like Justin Wells put in a CB pick for Felix Ojo, to Texas. 3) WR Mike Brown committed to the Aggies. Didn't seem like he was high on our board ...

  28. Their financial disclosure forms are out there. Neither trades in individual stock and AOC is worth under 500K. Do better with your both sides bullshit. Show your grounds to say this or STFU. Republicans SOP is to allude to imagined and unproven Dem corruption to excuse the open and blatant behavior of their own sides.

  29. This story is 100% true. Yesterday we were coming back from the Legends Event Center in Bryan. My daughter's volleyball club pulled her up from the 17u team to 18u so they could win a bid to go to nationals, which they did. We are passing by the Death Star and my daughter says she wants to drive through their campus. So we go by the Dixie Chicken, and then cut through their campus sports complex. She is making fun of it the whole time. Where are the trees. Pretty nice for a cult and all that. These are her own conclusions from what she knows of kids who went there and came home to visit. We come up on a wall where someone has painted an upside down longhorn with "saw em off" on it. She starts asking why they are so obsessed with UT. So we get home and she is telling the wife about it. I realize she knows nothing of Yell Leaders. So we sit down and I pull up a Youtube video of a midnight yell. She watches, mouth agape, periodically yelling out "what the hell!". We get to the part where one of the yell leaders does a few moves then those jazz hands they do while spinning and going to a knee. My daughter, junior in high school, gets up and repeats it while putting a little extra femininity on it.. My daughter- "Look at the little fairy boy", she says while recreating the dance in our family room Me- No. It's a huge deal to be a yell leader there. Dudes have been lining up to be one for 100 years My daughter- There is no way that dude is straight Wife- He is straight My daughter- They probably go back to the locker room and whack each other off. "My girlfriend doesn't do it like you", she says in her best boy voice Me- Bust out laughing Wife- trying not to laugh(doesn't wanna encourage that kind of talk), and not choke on her drink, "We don't talk like that!" Daughter- I'm just saying.... Happened last night. Teenage girls are brutal.

  30. They're illegally rendering innocent people to a fucking concentration camp in El Salvador and that's barely getting media coverage. There's certainly no shitstorm over it except in liberal spaces online. Them murdering an anti-tesla activist likely wouldn't even get covered in the mainstream media right now.

  33. Let’s place a bet. You bet on your stupid fucking position that Texas won’t be top 15 in basketball NIL and that I don’t know anything about what is happening for NIL. I will bet that you are a shitposting clown with no connections to the process. Accordingly, Texas will level up as needed to be a top program on NIL for basketball, along with every other sport. Which ever one of us is wrong will agree to a permaban from immamac and the other will continue as normal.

  34. I agree that the Texags baseball and basketball forums are fucking awesome right now. -there are a couple of threads on the baseball board that were started during or just after their first loss to Vanderbilt. They start rationalizing how to turn things around, starting with a win or two in the next two versus Vandy. The progression of each thread gets more and more hilarious. -there’s a poster sunshine-pumping about this being a great season for basketball and thanking Buzz Williams. At first, some aggies call the guy out as a troll and I was inclined to buy that. Then, the poster returns and proceeds to ardently defend both the season and BW as successes, and measures each against the arbitrary last 25 years. It’s awesome. -a common thought pervasive on both 247 and Texags about the tournament loss is that Michigan was horrifically “underseeded “. These losers make this argument every fucking year in which they lose to a lower seed. They made it about Penn State two years ago. That thinking is one of best insights into the overall aggie mentality and why they’re never going to win anything. “If only a shittier team was placed in that spot, then our higher ranked team would have actually done something. “ Right. -the baseball posters are starting to work in some thinking that, what they really need to do, is go even further over the top with NIL. They need random boosters to pay a $3M buyout to a guy that would have taken the job without a buyout provision. Then, after spending more money on NIL in baseball than any team has ever spent (including LSU in 2023), they need random boosters to enthusiastically double-down and buy all of the quality in the portal and in recruiting to help the unnamed new-new HC win the national title in 2026. Never mind that a bunch of their current roster was deemed worthy of massive NIL and will be transferring after the season to contenders. Sadly for these idiots, the word on the NIL front for baseball is that the boosters involved did it as a one-time thing to avoid the humiliation of a roster collapse and to “show Schlossnagle who runs the show.” LOL.
