  1. Do you think the University of Texas owns Surly or something
  2. Again I will say I think it's pretty telling that Adam stayed on the team after Leach's departure when he easily could have transferred, and was seemingly well liked by his teammates. He actually made some big plays in the following season. Not many, but I remember him making a couple of huge plays when we beat a top 5 OU in Norman.
  3. Idk, I just never automatically assume a hateful person is stupid. It seems like letting them off the hook in a way
  4. This is why I just play dynasty. I have no interest in trying to cheese my way through ranked matchups. I like it to feel at least somewhat real.
  5. I just can't fathom how someone would think running with something so clearly defamatory is a good strategy. She is a hateful, grifting cunt but I never thought she was stupid.
  6. Thanks for taking apart that absolutely baby-brained take in a more tactful way than I would have.
  7. Why can't it be both
  8. Could see y'all being 6-1 when you roll into Lubbock.
  9. Beard has to be the only coach Texas has ever fired for cause, isn't he? I guess Herman might have gotten there had he been able to stick around for longer.
  10. Some of the idiots that post in the basketball forum would beg to disagree 😉
  11. I know, I'm just fucking around. Good for him if he makes it.
  12. Well, I guess he has owned everyone by being 3rd string behind a guy scrambled eggs for brains and a draft bust.
  13. That video is great lol Long, but worth it imo
  14. I'm not offering a morality judgement on the situation here, I'm simply saying that no state institution is paying anyone that they fire for cause except in the most extreme of circumstances. That's just how shit works in this state. I don't agree with the concept of sovereign immunity, but it's what we have. I also don't necessarily disagree with that the Tech higher ups handled the firing of Leach very poorly. I think if it happened today, none of it would have happened the way it did. The university President at the time despised Leach, was looking for any reason to fire him, and pressured the AD and Kent Hance to go through with it, using the testimony of the James kid. I did think at the time it was very telling, or at least interesting, that Adam James remained on the team and was seemingly supported by the current players, but not necessarily all of the other coaches.
  15. I mean it would be the smart thing for Texas to do. No shot the AD would want to pay what Beard had left on his contract after he was terminated for cause. That's just how these things work. You can act like a little bitch about it if you want, I guess, but that doesn't change anything! Literally any state employer would do the same thing, doesn't matter if it's Tech, Texas, or any other public institution.

  18. Texas would 100% have done the same thing if Beard had gone through with his suit. Going to need to see a citation on exactly how Tech would have lost that lawsuit. The players and most of the coaches were backing up James, not Leach, and likely would have testified against him had it come to that.
  19. This is just bullshit. He was fired for cause, and the cause given was perfectly valid, even if the James' are pricks. The way he treated Adam James would be and was considered unacceptable by any measure. Should Texas have to pay Chris Beard just because he never ended up getting convicted in a court of law? Come on.
  20. It's Twitch.tv but if you're a Nazi and/or pedophile and/or just generally fucked up like this guy
  21. We never gave a fuck about this, and neither did the British. It was always strategic. (I agree with you, just making a note of that)
  22. Ok this is absolutely unforgivable. Being friends with that guy should get you deported.
