I live in Lubbock, he was a god here. Not only could he punch his fiancee' anytime he liked. We let him punch anybodies fiancée. If I were mad at my GF I'd make her go hang out at the practice gym until she apologized.

This post seems reasonable with the information we currently have before us. But just wait until FOIA requests are granted for things like, body cam footage, pictures of bite and bruises on Randi, and most of all the 911 call. The DA of whoever has the tape CANNOT keep it a secret. When the 911 call comes out, plus other evidence gathered on Dec 12th, Beard will be unhirable. You know there's been the "Why hasn't he been fired already" crowd out there since day one. Think how outraged they'd be when the police release all the evidence. Also, UT's internal investigation will eventually have to be made public. You can bet the farm that they found enough to fire him and too much dirt that retention is impossible. UT didn't fire Beard in order to err on the side of caution or because as Minton alluded to, fear of the Twitterverse. They fired him for cause, for hitting his GF. My bet and this is just a guess is that UT has emails that they've sent to Beard about Trew and her behavior towards staff on UT road trips. The internal investigation report may actually villainize Randi, but that won't matter if Beard finally got tired of her crap and lit her up.

Minton's letter cracks me up. FIRST He states the school never interviewed Beard or Randi. They wouldn't need to since there are hard to ignore pieces of evidence out there like: the actual statement Randi made to the police, the 911 call, photos of the bite and bruises. Just those not yet released things would be enough to end his contract without getting into a "He said, she said" interview. SECOND, Trew did NOT make an emphatic retraction. She said he didn't 'strangle' me. But she didn't deny other claims in the arrest report. Like bites, bruises, and claims of him being extremely violent. And her letter said she didn't think he 'meant' to hurt her. (The exact words of every GF who endures abuse) She never said she wasn't hurt, she wasn't scared or he wasn't violent. She did say she understood how breaking his glasses set him off and how she could see he may have been acting in self defense. Still, Her walk back was faint and intentionally released on a Friday after five, that's when politicians release bad news to the press in order to increase the likelihood that it goes unnoticed.

At least she didn't try to make herself out to be some poor innocent hand maid.

I find it extremely telling that nobody's lawyer is out there in the public making noise. I understand UT being quiet while they gather facts and listen to lawyers. I unerstand the state trying to act like this is no extraordinary case by treating it like all DV cases and therefore not doing pressers about it. But Beards lawyers have pretty much made the one public statement early on. If they thought their client was going to be charged They'd be squaking to every news outlet filling the twitterverse with a defensive narrative. Even more telling is surely Randi has lawyered up. So why aren't they out their painting her as the abused handmade. The only reason UTs, Beards, and Trews lawyers are quite is they can work together to develop a unified consistent story to sell to the public. They can't do that if the different parties go public with their own story and then change their story from time to time. It is my professional opinion as an auto parts counterman and part time Uber driver that all this quiet means all parties are trying to develop a storyline where CB keeps his job.

This kind of post illustrates the contemporary life of the modern sports journalist. You are practically a Sports Information Director who isn't getting paid by the people you're publishing information for. In this case he's floating the notion that the Big12 is open to the idea of 2023-24 being the only year of 14 schools. Sports Illustrated just did the same thing. The SEC and OUT are leaking the idea of an early departure in order to create pressure on the Big12 that is inevitable an they should go along with it. The life of most sports journalists is now spent floating information that the actual SID doesn't want to publish himself.

If you don't have time to read every post, even if it means neglecting your family, your church, your job or your personal health, then you're not Surly material.

This is no secret. She's a mean b!tch and its been posted a dozen times on this thread by the Tech fans who post here. (Me being one of them) And we're all wondering, "Why has he stayed in this relationship". So lets say there's audio and video that shows Randi to be the aggressor and she has gone on some destructive, violent rampage and Beard was indeed just trying to defend himself. Or he just wanted to get out of the house before he does something they'll both regret and she blocks him from leaving. <Very common in domestic abuse for an angry man trying to leave before he hurts somebody gets blocked by that somebody and he has to sling them aside just to get out>. I think this scenario is not only possible, but probable. With all this considered, CB has still shown a huge lack of judgement in not breaking up with this easily replaceable GF a year ago. The song "Self Esteem" by the Offspring comes to mind.

Aggie portal defections now at 25. https://thespun.com/college-football/sec-program-reportedly-had-25-players-enter-transfer-portal

Apparently this is no longer true. Fardaws Aimaq is not transferring. However, he is mending a broken bone in his foot and I don't expect to see him until early March.

NSIAP Hitler weighs in https://www.captiongenerator.com/v/2284532/chris-beard-arrested

Tell me you don't wear glasses without telling me you don't wear glasses.

As a person who wears glasses, I can tell you almost nothing makes me angrier faster than somebody messing with my glasses. Doesn't matter to me if they did it in jest or anger. Doesn't matter your gender, race, size or relationship. You pull my glasses off my face and I'm going full force swinging, kicking, punching, hair pulling... You might be bigger than me and end up kicking my arse, but you will regret tearing the glasses off of my face.

If its any consolation, some Sh!ts going down with Mark Adams in LBB. 1. Their top portal transfer is transferring. 2. There's something else going on that isn't being talked about. Your guess is as good as mine Multiple Choice A. Ex Wife Problems. B. New Wife Problems. C. Trannies. D. Monkees. E. All of thee above.

Can someone please make a Hitler "DOWNFALL" video of the whole Chris Beard debacle.

Randi was the Volleyball coach at Frenship High School here in Lubbock. She was physically violent with her players. Specifically, yanking a girl by her ponytail. She was allowed to resign quietly. We all looked the other way because she was Beards GF. So as you say, Why the heck did he stay with this crazy bitch. He's a grown ass millionaire with an easily replaceable significant other. As you know he was a god here in Lubbock, his initial contract with UT was a pay cut. He didn't even get in a bidding war. He was in a hurry to get out. Many here in Lubbock blamed her for wanting out of Lubbock and rumors are she had given him an ultimatum. (These rumors existed before he went to McDonalds) So if he'd told the crazy bitch to piss off back then...He'd still have a D1 coaching future.

Mike Leach is dying but Kent Hance is still alive. Life ain't fair.

Tech just barred Adams from going to the McDonald's in Plainview.

He learned too much from RMK.

Wrong kind of speed

Don't worry we don't have any plays designed to exploit this fact. Nor a line that can block long enough for anybody to go deep. Nor a QB that can get him the ball. So, other that than, you should be scared.

The team absolutely loves him. I do a lot of Uber driving on the weekends and gave about 6 players a ride to an after party the night of the UH game. You could tell they all were elated that it was Smith on the game winning TD. They were defensive about the fact he wasn't the game 1 starter and asked me, "How could he have not been the starter to begin with". I explained that he grew up playing in a Vince Young style offense (Please Im not making a comparison here) And in Texas High School football a lot of success comes from having your best athlete with the ball as often as possible. But in college football (unless you are in fact Vince Young) you have to able to work the entire offense and at this time Donovan Smith can't work half the playbook. I believe he's smart enough to learn the rest of the playbook he's just not there yet. So the OC is going to pick a starter that can run all the plays and that in fact was Shough.

Here's my game thoughts. As somebody who is a Tech fan. Donovan Smith: He's the second string QB for a reason. 1. He doesn't know but 1/2 the play book. 2. Because of that we rely heavily on the RPO plays which is what he did in high school. 3. The problem with that is his reads are wrong half the time. 4. He is a good runner, hard to solo tackle, doesn't get hurt easily. 5. His late game antics versus UH were really good and why Tech fans are mostly OK with him being the starter. 6. He can't throw to his right. If your DC knows this it can be a long day for Tech. UH figured it out and put an extra DB on the defensive strong-side, thus leaving more receivers open to Smiths RH side. But he can hardly throw accurately that direction. Both his pick sixes have been to the RH side. 7. But his greatest weakness is he doesn't make progressions. He stares down his primary target and never throws to the second target if the first one isn't open. The running backs: Decent, not great. SaRodorick Thompson, is a very good runner, but he missed a block on a blitz last week, this will hurt his playing time. Tahj Brooks, good. Doesn't go down on first contact. Recievers: Jerand Bradley: Very Good, a real threat could start for most teams. Loic Fouonji, Fastest player in the Big 12. The knock on our recievers is they quit on their routes and don't fight for jump balls. I know why there's a tendency to quit on routes. 1. The QB is under pressure because the O-line isn't all that good and so he has to scramble for all the yard that he can get. 2. Smith just can't do check downs. So if youre a receiver and on a particular play youre not the primary target you know that there's Zero chance the pass is coming to you. So why haul arse on a post route, if theres not chance that the ball comes your way. TE: Mason Tharp, great hands, great TE, we just aren't getting him the ball. O-line: is the best we've had in many years. But all the previous lines were really really bad, so being better than those means youre still not very good. They are fundementally sound so at least they'll get in your way before getting tossed aside. Defensive line: is pretty good. But they haven't seen anything like the UT oline. Line backers: They aren't a strength, but they aren't bad. The D-line is good enough that our LB's aren't having to take on RB's who haven't been touched. Secondary: The weakest link on the defense. You can throw all day.
