I guess I am a bit baffled by the CDC thoughts on the last few pages. I get the $10 million dollar question, and I know it isn't my money, but the long term damage this is doing to our athletic program should be CDC's main concern. I went to my first Texas basketball games starting in 1994 and I have never seen the level of apathy higher than it is now. I have seen that place packed on several occasions, and it can be a pretty awesome environment when it is. I know that Texas is no basketball school, but we are the school of Kevin Durant. I tuned in last night just to see the turn out. We had maybe 5,000 people in the FEC last night to watch the #1 Baylor Bears play Texas. That is absolutely pathetic. Basketball won't survive a full decade of a shit product like the football team can. The time to cut this fraud of a coach was last year. The fact that we may let this clown come back next year speaks volumes about how far we have fallen as an athletic program. Basketball is the second highest grossing product and the second best opportunity to represent the university on the national stage. Winning the NIT is not, and never should be our standard. I sure as hell hope that our AD holds our basketball program in higher regard than it appears. I have completely lost any interest in watching this pathetic product, and I used to watch every minute of every game. If CDC lets Shaka coach another year he will lose a lot of my confidence as well.

It really seems like this should be in the 2020 recruiting thread so we can keep building to 1000.

One of my all time favorite memories of Vince was brought back to life by this post. It was at Baylor and must have been 2003. I was looking to leave the stadium, but they gated off a section under the bleachers so I was kind of stuck. A few seconds later I see the Longhorns running past the gates and realize this is the Longhorn path to the locker room, so I stand and watch. A handful of players do the typical shuffle to the locker room, and then came Vince. I can't remember the nickname for the super fat dude with the ring of keys and the john deer that seemed to be the equipment manager at the time, but he was standing with his arms crossed facing the gate making sure none of us hooligans attempted to rush it or something. Vince came skipping (but it looked more like flying) with huge skipping steps hooping and hollering, and mid 180 spin / skip, he layed a big fat hand slap on fat dudes ass and kept on skipping into the locker room. Fatty gave him a quick look over the shoulder then turned back to staring at us. He seemed to truly love everything about the game, at least while he was a Horn.

Too bad we can't manage to match all of that talent up with some actual coaching though. Then we might be on to something. Does the Aggy coaster have room for us? After a full decade of shit football, I have stopped falling for the hype.

Man I hope you are right, but that sounds just like the Big 12 in 2019 and we shat the bed spectacularly on that

Wait, are my reading skills off or is there another meaning for CFP other than college football playoff? Because I damn sure don't think we will sniff the CFP next year and you are one of the last posters I would expect to think that.

Anybody hear that Kirk Douglas died?

I was happy the charade was over more than anything. But as a long time Gator supporter, I was also pretty optimistic. I have zero optimism for Texas Football anymore... 10 years of Fat Mack / Charlie / Mensa has killed it all

The vibe was awesome. Laid back and easy to get to almost everything. It also doesn't hurt that the highs are mid to high 70s and the lows are mid to high 60s in Key West in January.

It was about 4k for me and the wife for 7 days. We did it with a large group and got the Pirate level, and the lodging was through the festival.

Checking in to report that Mile 0 Fest in Key West was well worth the price of admission. A lot of great venues, from beach, to pool, to boat, along with a street party kickoff and the amphitheater. I saw Robert Earl Keen in the 278 seat Key West Theater and it was fantastic. Saw Charley Crockett for the street party and at his 11:30 show at Irish Kevin's. I had never listened to Shinyribs, but fell in love with them at the street party and saw them the next day at the beach show at Southernmost Resort. Isbell only played the amphitheater, but it was a great show as well. Lots of others along the way, new and old, that were awesome and at great venues. Now to give my liver a few days off to recover.... After Devil Makes Three tonight in my hometown.

That gives me a much different reaction. I took it as a response to the fact that the information he posted was about 10 posts above already. But this picture was worth the confusion.

If this is what you get for crying, I'm about to start choppin onions

Her tittay is about to come unstowed. May need to move this to NSAA or whatever we call it now. Who dis?

User name checking out. Struggle sounds real.

Getting on the plane for Mile 0 Fest Sunday!

I read an article somewhere that said the amount of words that your child hears before the age of 2 is the strongest indicator of their ability to process language and understand concepts as they age. I have no doubt that music is very similar. I have influenced them in a number of ways, but probably the best and worst is with Merry Christmas from the Family. It has been my now 16 year olds favorite for at least 5 years, and my now 9 year old knew every word in kindergarten. I kept waiting for the note to come home asking what the "Mom got drunk and Dad got drunk" Christmas song was. It is still the most played Christmas song in our household. Lumineers Radio on Apple music is something we can all listen to without anyone complaining.

Seems like Isakov fits in this thread. This is my latest song obsession. Only live version I could find.

I hate that I gave up watching Texas basketball because I would have loved to see that. Life lessons on dealing with mean old Kansas bullies in addition to the brilliant on court lessons.

It is kind of crazy we can't do those things, because I have seen the timeout huddles, and Shaka is saying real deal coaching stuff like "guys, we need to get offensive rebounds". It must be the players just not listening.

You have to watch to notice. I turned OU on in the background and watched 5 minutes of tonight’s disaster. That’s it for the season. The rants on here are funny because I was there 2 years ago. My apathy is strong.

Bucky and Erin said there had to be less than 7,000 in attendance against Kansas. But I wouldn't know, because I don't actually watch the games. I quit in January of 2018 after we blew a 62-50 lead over Okie State with 6 minutes to go and managed to lose 64-65. I have never seen more pathetic basketball in my life, and I chose to discontinue watching for the sake of my health and my tv's health. I keep hoping for the day that this thread is no longer needed.

I wanna rock and roll all night, And part of everyday

Checking in to say that I am still 100% Eeyore and Charlie Brown love child on next season.
