According to the TV announcers, we have the 3# SOS in the country. If we played a schedule that many other teams play, our record would probably be much better. Its possible that we have played more ranked teams in conference than some teams have played all year. That may have a little something to do with our current tourney standing. .

When derka takes cheap shots at players, former players or posters, I will call him on it. Go the the sam thread and see the crap that he pulled over there and how many posters pounded him because of his crap.

You calling anyone's post retarded is laughable. I don't respond to all of your nonsense because thats what most of your posts are but when you take a cheap shot at a former player especially considering that according to you, you couldn't get into Texas and wouldn't be allowed anywhere near a real bball court, you are the last fan that should be commenting on anyone else's abilities. If I remember correctly, Ron was the LA player of the year and the reason you won't answer my question is because you weren't alive when Ron played and you never say him play a live game. Even you should know that watching someone live is far better than watching a video assuming that you even did that. You can call me any name you want but that doesn't change the fact that you are nothing more than a bad fan and doesn't know nearly as much as he thinks. Stick to posting pictures.

You took a cheap shot at Ron and being a proud letterman who knew Ron well, I am calling you out on your comment. Throwing out a name means nothing. Again, how old were you when Ron played.

How old were you when Ron Baxter played or are you just throwing out names to make posters think you know what you are talking about.

Agree but what sets Balbay apart in my opinion is that all those that you listed were great defensively but what I think that Balbay did better than anyone is that he would crush them mentally and he took many guards out of their game.

It was a lot safer being in the crowd.😀

Balbay is the best Ive ever seen wearing burnt orange.

Wrong. I was offensive on many occasions.

My condolences to you and your family. Thanks. Its tough to lose a parent but to lose a younger sibling is even more difficult.

The reason that I disappeared for a few weeks is because I buried my little sister you piece of trash.

Great win. Keep working hard and good things will happen. The coaches are doing a great job and the young men are responding. Get home safely and lets get ready for the Wildcats.

I don't have a grudge against you. I am tired of you thinking that you're special regarding this program and you're not. You're not as smart as you think you are and thats a FACT. Thats the point. Hopefully for the board, you will figure it out sooner than later.

Thats not a personal attack. That was the truth. Period. You think you're special and you're not. Knowing some players doesn't mean anything. If it does, then I'm even smarter than you because I know more than you do. WE get it. You took Coach Barnes leaving personally even though everyone including coaches that coached with him knew it was time for him to move on. Happens all over the country and it was the right move. And again, I knew him better than you. Your I hate Coach Smart schtick is beyond tiresome because you're letting your hatred affect your posts and its obvious to everyone but you. No player development? Thats beyond stupid even for you. Maybe you should actually watch a game. No one expects you or anyone to be a sunshine pumper but you're nonsense is beyond clueless. You want to talk about personal attacks? No one attacks posts here more than you. If this board was a meritocracy, you would have been permanently been exiled to GoVols. Since they have had few good teams since Bernie and Ernie, go google them, your wisdom would probably be welcomed.

You will never be part of the program regardless of how badly you believe you are. Thats right, get over yourself.

Maybe you need a reminder of where you stand in order of the U of Texas basketball program.

You are absolutely no one special. Only you think you are. You're not a member of the T Association, a former letterman and you don't get invited to former lettermen reunions.. And you are different than those kids you mentioned because their Dads were part of the Texas Basketball Team and Family and you're not. Big deal, you know some former players. You have no clue what it like to bust your ass every day in practice. You have no clue of the sacrifices that we made. You have no idea what its like to lose a hard fought game at the buzzer. You have no idea what its like to be on the team bus heading to the game and you're lost in your thoughts. You have no idea what its like to get final instructions in the locker room moments before the game, in the huddle during a game or after the game. You have no idea what its like sitting at an airport waiting to go back to Austin after a hard fought loss, getting back to Austin at 230 AM after a 4 hour bus ride and you have to be at class in less than 6 hours. You have no idea what its like to have to study for finals on the road 2 days before you have to take one.You have no idea what its like to be the only 13 students on campus during Christmas break. You have no idea what its like to take a 6 hour plane flight and 30 minutes after landing back in Austin, you're taking a mid term final for 40% of your grade. You have no idea what its like to have to be at the gym for an early Sunday morning practice. You have no idea what its like to bust you're ass in practice, go eat dinner than have to study 3-4 hours just to keep up with the rest of the class. You have no idea what its like to be a conference champion and the hard work and dedication it takes to accomplish that and you have no idea what it takes to be a teammate. And I haven't even started. Get over yourself. You're the only one that thinks that you're important. And btw, I knew Coach Barnes a lot better than you.

If you are a student, alum or fan of the University of Texas, you root for Texas first. If you prefer to root for another coach, go to their board and do so.

But he was old enough to see Herman and non power 5 school UH beat the crap out of Jimbo and the mighty FSU tomahawks. Its great to be under Kate!

Maybe they should focus on becoming relevant on the field for the first time in 20 years and worry less about meaningless recruiting stats.

Your roundtable doesn't work because you're stacking the deck. Ask some of the players who didn't like Barnes for their opinions. What you have yet to understand is that everyone besides you is allowed to have an opinion and if it differs from you, that doesn't make you right and them wrong.

I always wish our former coaches the best.

I need to find one of those. My little rescue turns 13 this year and I need to get her ready for her Bark Mitzvah.

And don't you forget...G-D chose me. He didn't choose you so you better be nice to me. Or...

Unfortunately for you, I am the one who decides who gets into our tribe. The good news is that I can be bribed.
