  1. CDC appears to have near total decision-making authority with the athletic department outside of men's basketball and football. Football and basketball involve so much money in terms of buy outs and annual salary that a greater number of donors/university figureheads are involved. He did not hire Sark on his own accord and it appears this hire will be slightly similar (slightly because football is certainly a more in depth team - BOR, president, AD, etc. - effort). Gerry and Bobby are pretty well connected to the athletic department, other Texas admin, and BMDs. Why they don't know everything, I believe you're discounting their information too much. Also, no one has said $5 mil buyout + 7-8mil/annually is too much. That's what they're wanting/expecting to spend. I get you want Texas to reset the market and get the best possible, but that isn't going to happen.
  2. "Break the bank" by Texas' historical standards for men's basketball. However, again though, what Gerry offered up is actually an increase in spending of what we obtained Beard for - both in buyout and annual salary. I don't really understand what you're arguing about. They're not taking a step back, at all.
  3. This right here. Hell, it's basically the exact same type of spending scenario. However, as Gerry reported, we're willing to offer 2-3 million/year more than Beard's initial deal. Just don't want to have to pay a massive buyout to obtain the guy.
  4. Beard didn't get fired because he was arrested. He was fired because he didn't seem to understand, was entirely unapologetic, and lacked any personal responsibility as to how his role in the events was unsuitable for such a prominent figure at the University of Texas. Had he shown even a modicum of remorse for his role in the situation, he probably wouldn't have been fired.
  5. To give full transparency, I performed minimal research, as I try to avoid that board as much as possible. However, he was arguing some extremely far-sided views and just being an idiot poster overall. Enough that the collective group felt he should go. That’s the extent I’ll describe outside of that hell hole.
  6. It appears that it was a Cloak Room clusterfuck.
  7. Silly is one way to put it right now. UTRGV having the #5 SOS versus Texas’ at 145 is “interesting.” I know with more data this becomes a really good analytical tool, but the small sample size makes for some absurd early season results.
  8. I’m going to get shit for this, but as a good as Rori is on defense and how much we love her overall, her lack of a three-point threat limits the upside of this team. As another said, we’re UH (except on the women’s side) until this roster becomes more well rounded offensively. Now, that still makes for a really good team, but if we want to win a title, it’ll have to change.
  9. I believe he meant to the second or third one seed. Not to the two or three line.
  10. A large reason was three-point shooting. Of which, we have none.
  11. I didn't see this posted - especially relevant considering Volantis' first start today as well as Grubbs' extended save Friday. There's also an update on Whitehead and some insight to the coaching staff. OTF Friday Morning Insider Baseball Notes:
  12. Yep. It’s pretty obvious that teams attack her to the rim. There are many reasons to appreciate her, but it’s a big liability against good backcourts. I believe it’s why we saw so many minutes by Preston and Lee down the stretch against SCar when we played them at home.
  13. Not only did aggy lose, they had 5 errors lmao.
  14. No foul on the shot. Only on the drive prior to the shot.
  15. We better not fuck around and find out.
  16. Yep… We just need an entire program reset. I mean, two 10-second violations because RT doesn’t flash someone to the middle against a 2-2-1 press? That’s a junior high coaching competency. Like WTF?!
  17. Nah. Clear moving screen.
  18. Unfortunately, there isn’t one on the roster.
  19. Is Texas really about to blow this game?
  20. Not on that second one. He clearly got his arm.
  21. Larry with another dumb foul.
  22. lol. I saw that too. Johnson just got executed by Vinson.
