  1. These are all good ideas but many of them are feel good ideas. The way that things begin to change is by actual substance. For example, both schools can designate several inner city schools for this program. Depending on the sport, here is what you do. You get an athlete from each school as a tag team in a class. Say you have a scholarship athlete from both schools teach a class for as much of the semester as their sport will allow. So player x from UT and player z from HT will teach say a 5th grade class every Tuesday from 1-2. They can talk about whatever subjects they like, successful black businessmen, a great politician like Barbara Jordan, a black supreme court justice, the importance of getting a college education, etc. Player b from UT and player d from HT may wind up teaching an 8th grade class from 2-3 every Thursday and can choose whatever topics they think appropriate. Now you have athletes from both school teaching 50.100, 200 etc. classes in the inner city. Now you start making real change and you expand from there.
  2. Doesn't seem to bother the Klingons.
  3. Cherry pick? You're an idiot. It was the little t shirt guy who cherry picked. Why didn't he pick Danny Manning? Why didn't he pick 100s of other coaches. This post is typical gooey crap. Its nothing but a weak cheap shot and nothing more. Just like his idiot post on why a true freshman didn't play early in his freshman season. There could be numerous reasons why he didn't get early playing time but the idiot just wanted to take another cheap shot. And I will stoop done to your idiot level for just a few seconds. I could say the same thing. How do you know that Coach Smart wouldn't have had at least the same success with Roy's roster. You can't. Get off your high. horse
  4. Well, perhaps the Oscar Meyer Weiner mobile would have been more appropriate. Aggy do love their wieners.
  5. Point well taken.
  6. Maybe they shouldn't have bought him an early 80s model.
  7. I will tell you in 2 or 3 years from now.
  8. I would like to be at practice when he tries some of that on Jericho, Royce or Kai. I suspect there will be some battles when practice starts.
  9. I don't care who you chose. Carolina was under .500 this year. Blue blood Carolina. A few years ago, Calipari was preseason 1, had the number 1 recruiting class, the first 2 picks in the NBA draft and if I remember correctly, didn't make the playoffs. You have no idea what any other coach would do. This is all about your talking trash because you still haven't gotten over the fact that Coach Barnes isn't here. Take your nonsense to someone that believes your hot air.
  10. Maybe Roy should try reaching .500 with his squad before coaching ours.
  11. Being a highly ranked young man is no guarantee of success. Going to college gives a young man a chance to step up to better competition than high school. It seems from a list of the top 10, all but one choses college but that list could be outdated.
  12. I think that Johnny was in 75 and Ron was the following year but there were not far apart.
  13. Go find a really big one. lol
  14. Ron was a couple years later. I think 76 or 77. I think my sophomore year we had more black starters than the football team did. I remember Philip Stroud but don't remember his first year but I think it was late 70s. If I remember correctly, a year after Baxter, 2 kids from Los Angeles...Johnson and Shepherd played for us.
  15. I am not sure that I want to answer you. lol The first black player at UT if I am not mistaken was Jimmy Blacklock who was a junior college transfer in 1970. His second year as a senior, he started against UH at Las Cruces. His senior year, Larry Robinson was the second black to come to UT but he had to play frosh ball because freshmen could play varsity sports. The next year when he was a sophomore, freshmen could start playing varsity. After Larry and this is from memory, there was Philip Davis, James Price, Ed Johnson, the late Tyrone Johnson, Johnny Moore and the late Gary Goodner. I may have left out a couple for which I apologize. I probably am close to the age you think I am but thank goodness for Texas humidity, I have 30 something wimmens chasing after me. OK, maybe 40 somethings. OK, maybe 50 somethings.
  16. How did you find out who I am?
  17. If I was a top high school DB, I would much rather play against SEC teams than BIg12 offenses every week.
  18. Welcome to the Longhorn Basketball Family young man. Work hard, play hard and study hard. Have a great career on and then off the court. Great job coaches.
  19. Thanks again for taking the time to post intelligent responses. It is appreciated.
  20. I appreciate the responses.
  21. Once upon a time, the NBA draft was 7 rounds. Maybe some of you can help me out with this league. I understand the going to school vs the league arguments. Both sides have fair points. Having said that, explain the endorsements to me. Take Brown since we all know him. He will make 400k and then get endorsements Take a shoe contract. How many lids in Chicago or Houston can't wait to get Greg Brown sneakers.. Is this more of a locking in of a kid in case he makes it big in the league. What if he fails. Very few fans know who any of these kids are. Will these kids get more exposure in the league than perhaps March Madness. Do they go to this league for 1 year and then go into the draft? Are these kids going to sign with agents. You give an 18 year old who is away from home for the first time about 300-400k and how long will it be before that money is gone? For some kids, this may be the right option. I am not sure its a great option for all the kids.
  22. You may be right but unless things have changed, he may be able to get a disability policy while he is in college and I have to believe but could be wrong but a college degree long term could be a better investment than getting paid for one year and thats it. Probably depends on the individual.
  23. This. And bring back Dandy Don and Kern Tips for the play by play.
  24. Thats what I thought. Thanks.
