  1. This tournament is finally delivering the goods.
  2. I predict some carnivalesque scenes of debauchery in the Hub City tonight 🍻
  3. Tuberville starting complaining about the wind before his first season was over.
  4. This guy knows what he's talking about.
  5. I have no inside info; don't claim to. I'm right there with 99.99% of the other folks on this board in that respect.
  6. Based on what you've said, knowing his name wouldn't increase his credibility, but besides that, why does this upset you so? Is he your cousin?
  7. I haven't chosen not to believe it. Chris Beard being interested in the UT job is entirely plausible, which is all anyone has to go on here, and how plausible is a matter of (ultimately meaningless) debate. What I'm saying is unsubstantiated reports posted by an anonymous person on a college sports message board don't prove a thing either way.
  8. Right back at you. This seems to be a common defect with message board posters.
  9. Who is BWG? I mean, I know he's "Bitter White Guy", but who is he? I don't doubt there are some people (likely a very small number of people) who post on these things that might have insider info, but considering that A. everyone who posts on a message board does so under aliases/screen names and that B. there are tremendous loads are bullshit stated in these contexts that various folks claim to be accurate, forgive me for remaining skeptical. I think it's just as likely that most of you believe that Chris Beard *must* be interested in UT, and if anyone claims to have heard rumors to that effect, you naturally think "aha, I knew it!'
  10. So these reports are from other message board posters?
  11. What reports are you referring to?
  12. I know BCG had some mental/emotional problems that were, at least to some extent, beyond his control - and I'm glad to hear he's straightened himself out a bit - but boy he absolutely burned Tech basketball to fucking ground, in less than 2 seasons. Pat Knight set him up with own ineptitude for sure, but damn, what a mess.
  13. Seems like the MD guy could've gotten the ball a little farther up the court before he launched that last shot.
  14. They'll always have their Big 12 co-champs trophy, I guess.
  15. A win is a win, even it was more difficult than it should've been, and it beats a soul-crushing first round upset loss any day.
  16. Steve Alford probably deserves a mention here too, though he was an early second round pick.
  17. Eh, I don't know. I considered myself a Republican until I moved out of my parents house and met a few people who weren't middle class white Protestants..
  18. My sister-in-law's family lives just outside of DC, so we visit there every summer just about. I noticed all the kids with MAGA hats when we went down to visit the Mall area last June. It was like bizarro world or something. And every 12-17 yr old white boy with one those hats on had the exact same infuriating smirk on his face as the Kentucky Catholic school kid did.
  19. The long game smear is an effective weapon for the GOP, but it doesn't work as well when they have multiple targets to focus on. The average R voter can only properly obsess about one D politician at a time, it seems.
  20. As I recall, the Mavs had a pretty bad track record with drafting white players prior to Dirk.
  21. Look, I'm not saying there's no chance he'd ever take the UT job; I'm just disputing the notion that, leaving aside the issue of buyouts for him and Shaka, he'd absolutely come to UT if UT wanted him. And I fully expect that if UT is interested and he stays at Tech, many here would say "UT didn't really want him". That's how it go.
