  1. I'm impressed by what I've seen so far. Everyone else can pretend to be basketball savants. I'm just going to enjoy this season and cheer for these kids and this guy who seems like a great guy and a pretty good basketball coach. There's enough bullshit going on in the world. I'm not going to overanalyze and worry about a silly game. I love sports, but they're not a big deal in the grand scheme of things. This season is one of the most enjoyable Texas basketball or football seasons in a decade. I was sold on Chris Beard but he's gone for good reason. I'm not going to "what if?" the situation. Time only moves forward. Hook 'em Rodney!
  2. Didnt Terry recruit Kevin Durant, among many others?
  3. People keep posting his overall record without mentioning that Fresno State went 14-17 the year before he arrived and then won 20+ games in 4 of his last 5 seasons there. Similarly UTEP was 11-20 the year before he arrived. He had a winning record in year 2 there and a .500 record in year 3, the weird COVID year. He demonstrated an ability to improve the program at both of his previous head coaching jobs.
  4. Something tells me you're not a lawyer either...
  5. On topic this team has been a delight to watch this year and Terry deserves a ton of credit for keeping them together through what was an unthinkable mistake on the part of Chris Beard.
  6. I'm no lawyer but I don't think you can sue people for offering you contracts you don't like
  7. Our rise? We won the Big 12 tournament and were a 3 seed the year before he arrived. It's not like we sucked. Shaka just completely and totally shit the bed at the wrong time. He may still have a job here if he simply fed Sims against ACU.
  8. 1) He ain't getting no Kentucky job in the offseason. 2) You think these people are going to follow him again? After he let everyone down? I doubt it.
  9. Wait wait wait. Are you suggesting it would be illegal for him to voluntarily sign a one year deal for relatively low pay? I don't think that's how contracts and contract law works.
  10. Great team win. What a pleasure to watch. Hook ‘em!
  11. Good effort so far Time to put them away
  12. Should be a good moneymaking opportunity on the sportsbooks though!
  13. I guess the good news is that’s about the worst they can possibly play?!? Very poor performance
  14. I see where you're coming from, but the way he's been playing you have to unleash him. The problem last year is he was unleashed and couldn't quite perform to that superstar level yet for whatever reason. You want your top guy to be unleashed and playing freely while also playing very well. The question is how everybody else plays around that. This year's ceiling is Carr is unleashed and everyone else is playing well. That's a very high potential ceiling if it can be achieved by tournament time. Any game where 3 of our guards are playing well we should win. If just 2 guards play well it's a tossup against the better teams. We've put together very few complete team games this year imo. The big guys have played well but the guards have not gotten it all together. After Carr, Rice has carried the load for the guards so far this year. We're dominant in the games where Carr, Rice, and either Hunter or Morris has played well (just that one game for Morris, really).
  15. This is the shit that annoys me. Every loss or struggle in January or February last year was allegedly part of Chris Beards genius master plan for success in March. Every time we struggle for 5 minutes this year our season is over because Terry sucks and we should have kept poor Saint Chris Beard because, hey, at least he didn’t kill her, right?
  16. I guess the point I'm trying to make is you're acting like a guy who got dumped and can't get over it. In that situation people do the whole "oh this would have been so much better with ______. Things were so much better when _____ was around." You put on rose-colored glasses and romanticize the person who's gone. That's the way it feels with you and Chris Beard.
  17. You remember that we held ACU to 53, right?
  18. It's our version of Golden State's old "death lineup"
  19. That's fair but the biggest issue I see is that Hunter went from looking All-Conference to playing like trash
  20. honestly who fucking cares? that's over and done with. Chris Beard is gone and he's never coming back as our head coach. You said repeatedly that losses during the regular season under Beard were no big deal because that's part of his coaching philosophy. Now we're winning under Terry and apparently that is no big deal because KenPom.
  21. Call me crazy but maybe waking up to the news that their head coach is a fucking moron who got arrested for choking his fiancee threw the team off just a bit that day
