Uncle Nate

Give me a break. My team lost, I’m drunk, some guy says Fuck Tech. You bet your burnt orange ass I’m going to use the emoticon expressions made available to me to respond. We’re all having fun here, right? but how did I show my ass? Thought I was pretty respectful in my effort to try and explain I don’t hate Beard as you all claimed.

Not with this crew. You can only overcome do much.

you’re not watching the Tech-TCU game obviously.

This is the worst basketball officiating I’ve seen all season. And that is saying something.

Tech fans have taken over the TCU arena. It’s a beautiful thing.

Tuesday night game didn't have a whole lot of competition. Big 12 should be a priority over an AAC or C-USA. OR we should have negotiated a better TV contract that if they won't air a Big 12 game on a normal channel, then FS1 or someone has the option to pick it up. I'm drinking early and I hate Bowlsby. Just ignore me.

My beef was how you left. I never said anything about elevating/not-elevating the conference. This pissiness is directed at Bowlsby and his complete ineptitude as a conference commissioner. I hate him so much.

I'm going to be petty for a second... Fuck you guys (translation: I'm jealous) for getting your game on the Deuce while we had to watch the #9 team at home vs. OU last night on the fucking low-quality ESPN+ app. I hate Bob Bowlsby so much. Big 12 conference games should not be on the fucking app while AAC games were on the regular channels. Good luck tonight. Hopefully Jamie Dixon will get his size 12's out of the way of your players.

After reading papa bear’s tweets, I hope not. That’s a cancer to a team.

Dear parents: Get off Twitter.

They are a beating. Literally.

And I think Beard will do good things for UT. It stings a little, but it’s true.

Poor Amarillo. Can’t even get in the mix with other cities in its own relative longitude.

Yeah was not going there with the CR. I’m just saying this current group in Austin would not have stopped y’all. That wasn’t the anthill they were willing to die on.

@SL Xpress is a standup guy and always posts thoughtful and logical posts. But I do think the Governor, Lt Gov, and Legislature would have not done anything to stop y’all this time. Like I said in my post above, this isn’t the same makeup in governance that we had in 1995. And if we are honest, we have to give credit to Aggy for paving that road for y’all.

I would acknowledge that my friend, but seeing how the Legislature did basically nothing (outside of a handful of West Texas reps trying to save face), I seriously doubt they would have done anything had it happened in the open. It’s a different makeup in Austin now than it was in 1995. I think Aggy already in the SEC changed the dynamics dramatically this time. But let me be clear. I still love all of my UT friends, and I like all of you imaginary friends here at the shaggy. My hate for UT the institution (and by institution I mean the entire historical UT presence and actions) does not translate to the fans, players, coaches, academics, staff, etc. And I take great pleasure knowing y’all have to live with aggy again. That’s truly the best part of all of this. Lol.

Apparently not. I will sum it up for you in big letters so you can understand: I DO NOT HATE BEARD. I HAVE NO ILL-WILL TOWARDS HIM. THERE IS NO PROXY HATE.

If you can’t see that how the two schools went about that is not only completely shady but devoid of even a modicum of honor and integrity, then we can’t have a legitimate conversation. My non-message board UT friends (the real life people) are all honest in acknowledging that the way that went down was not cool. Only a few people here think we should all think UT does everything with the utmost in honor and integrity

What part of I have no hate for Beard did you not comprehend? You Horns have reading comprehension issues.

Because it wasn’t done in any semblance of an honorable way. It was backroom, under the table, ghost the conference. At least man up and do things in the open. Good news is I never have to root for either UT or OU in their non conference games for the good of our SOS ever again. So I have that going for me, which is nice. Enjoy being back in bed with aggy.

Hell it could get one arrested if the other person was pissy enough to press charges for assault.

It was a little shady, but I would have done the same thing if I was Beard and I had my 2nd most dream job open up. Which is why I 100% understand him leaving Tech for his alma mater. If I were a coach and had the opportunity to take a head coach job at my alma mater, as long as it was at least a lateral move, I would do it as well. I don’t hate Beard. I don’t hate him for leaving Tech for his alma mater and I most certainly don’t view him as a traitor. That’s just stupid. My only beef was he was a bit under the table in trying to take staff with him. And what he said to Adams. But it worked out for everyone in the end, and I couldn’t be happier. If I ran into Beard at a airport bar, I would buy him a beer even though he makes around 30x my salary and just shoot the shit with him. Hell my venom yesterday was more due to UT (and OU) shadiness in accepting the sec sec sec invite while ghosting the conference. I’m way more pissed at y’all nuking the conference than I will ever be at Beard leaving. The Beard leaving wasn’t even near as insulting as the David McWilliams leaving.

As I had to explain to my elderly father a few years ago who THOUGHT he was saying the acceptable, appropriate thing… Person of color: ok Colored person: NOT ok Poor guy truly thought he was saying the first when saying the second.

Ok, we were all having some fun here, and then you had to go and get mean and cruel. Thank you so much for opening THAT wound. Fucking Kliff Kingsbury.

Actually, it is an awful city objectively.
