  1. Yeah dude the post that ends "JFC people just let the season play out and see what happens" is way different than what I just posted..."Myself and some others have the opinion of "let the season play out and see what happens,"" You really got me there! What a genius level intellect and a guy who is definitely not trying to argue for the sake of arguing.
  2. Don't think so. Myself and some others have the opinion of "let the season play out and see what happens," but I don't think anyone is saying RT is the guy for Texas and we're making a big mistake if the right replacement is available and we let him go (absent a surprise Sweet 16 or better run). Unfortunately for RT Sark has raised the bar pretty high in terms of our expectations of what a coach can do. All that said I think it will still be pretty hard to fire him if we make the tournament this year, which I fully expect us to do. My guess is he gets one more year in that case, but who knows? As we saw with Shaka CDC may be working behind the scenes to both get the right replacement and find a nice landing spot for RT so they can say it was a mutual parting of ways.
  3. We rank 14th in turnovers per game - https://www.ncaa.com/stats/basketball-men/d1/current/team/217 Keeping turnovers to a minimum is one of the things we actually do well on offense
  4. They had 1000 times more energy last night
  5. Hey can we discuss his record at Fresno State and UTEP and whether that would have been good enough on its own to get hired at Texas absent Chris Beard going Wayne Brady and having to choke a b....? Not sure we've covered that yet
  6. We’re in the bonus 4 minutes into the half That's step 1 to making it respectable, at least
  7. lol one bad loss = not making the tournament Never change, Texas basketball fans. Never change.
  8. Any chance you can post it? No worries if not
  9. ESPN computers have us favored in 5 and give us a 49.4% of victory in the 6th game (Bama). 4-2 would be great but I think 5-1 might be doable
  10. Hope that holds true tonight It’d be big to get to .500 in SEC play
  11. A little worried about this one after Arky beat Kentucky
  12. Ok who's gonna tell him?
  13. Wow. Wouldn't have guessed that!
  14. I’m not saying we should be ranked 8th. I’d go more with 23 or so I just personally think we’re being a little underestimated at the moment
  15. From my perspective the team had a ton more motion on offense than we have had in past games. Not sure if there were actual plays called, but we had a lot more cutting and movement than usual. It was nice to see.
  16. I think we're definitely a top 25 caliber team. We're 4-5 in the SEC and Tennessee is 5-4. And we barely lost to them. Somehow they're ranked 8th and we're in the "other votes received" column around 35th. Doesn't make a lot of logical sense.
  17. Ah that makes sense. I think everyone agrees there.
  18. Just finished watching it on replay Great team W. They seem to be learning how to play together
  19. Dude just put me on ignore and stop interacting with me like you’ve been asked to 50 million times at this point I have you on ignore and haven’t said jack shit in your direction
  20. Who in the world is saying he should get an extension after this season absent a final four run?
  21. Exactly. Even though Groundhog Day is tomorrow I'm really sick of having this same conversation again and again and again. But it's quite clear that he took a team with a perpetual losing record and got them to 20 win seasons and NCAA bids. I also think it's irrelevant at this point. Of course he didn't get the job based on his past performance. But he has the job. I'll grade him on what he actually does here at Texas as opposed to a mix of his previous record and my subjective opinion of him.
  22. Yeah it just feels like everyone has decided this guy isn't the guy from the jump. The prevailing sentiment and the actual results on the court are not in line. I share everyone's frustrations with our "offensive plays/scheme" as they/it seem non-existent, but an Elite 8 -> Round of 32 -> at least make the tournament is not fireable IMO. Unless there's a perfect, no brainer replacement available. IMO we have a ton of 50/50 games coming up. They could break that we lose most of them, miss the tournament, and RT is clearly gone. Or they could break that we win most of them, get a decent seed, and make a tournament run. I don't pretend like I can predict the future. I'll hope for the latter scenario as I'm a Texas fan who watches all the games and likes seeing Texas win. If the former occurs the good news is we'll move on from RT. From my perspective it's an uncertain tossup situation that we have to watch play out.
  23. Did Rodney Terry miss an open 3 to tie the game on Wednesday? The last 2 games RT has drawn up plays to get great shots to win/tie the game. It's his fault Tre bricked a wide open look? And Chris Beard's coaching ability helped cause Tre to miss it too? Or is the argument that we should have easily beaten a ranked team on the road who were 6.5 point favorites and the fact that it was even close is RTs fault? It's not a real logical leap from a close road loss to a ranked opponent to FIRE RT NOW!!!!!
  24. Love that we have both a team that could reach the Sweet 16 and people clamoring to fire the coach Makes a ton of sense JFC people just let the season play out and see what happens
  25. Follow me for more gambling tips Second game in a row that went under by 0.5 points
