  1. The point is that big names get lured away all the time in cfb. Obviously there is minutae with every hire - just like there was when Texas landed Beard. It's easier to maintain year-over-year results in cbb which is why guys like Izzo, Self, Coach K wind up sticking around for 30 years. There are also a LOT more schools where you can consistently contend nationally if you know what you're doing.
  2. Um. Lincoln to SC, Kelly to LSU, DeBoer to Bama... It definitely doesn't happen a lot in MBB. It happens all the time in cfb.
  3. Donovan took them to the title game in 2000 but then went 5 straight seasons without a SS. Then they won b2b titles. The Donovan wishcasting was that if he DID want to return to college Texas would be a good opening and it would have been easy for him to step away from the Bulls. Obviously if he's just fine in the NBA then it was never going to happen.
  4. They need to extend the deadline because the current date makes it to where they kind of have to open it early.
  5. No one gives a fuck about Shaka Smart's regular season record against anybody. He's a shitty coach because he's a chronic tournament choker. He's won a big East title at MU and has had them on the 2 seed line twice now. He beat Bill Self-coached Kansas twice in the same season at Texas which only like 3 guys have ever done. Good for him. I'm sorry you miss Shaka Smart Texas Basketball but Miller is much more competent and much less of an ass-clown. I'll take a guy that gets a 5 or 6 seed to the Elite Eight over a guy that can't regularly get a top 3 seed to the SS let alone out of the first round any day of the week.
  6. Then how many games did he decide to hire RT based on? You think Terry gets hired in 2023 if Texas loses in the first round of the tourney? Making the EE and nearly the FF was absolutely material when it came to rolling the dice on Terry.
  7. Oh c'mon. The 2023 Xavier game absolutely had a lot to do with RT getting the job.
  8. I have Houston and Florida in the title game. Y'all can just send me the money now.
  9. Is that hot off the press? If so...
  10. I think this is the reality of the sport moving forward. Especially for a program like Texas. Get your ducks in a row and the $$$ in order and recruit the shit out of Texas and do it with someone at the helm that isn't going to drive the bus off a cliff. I mean - crappy coaches win titles or get close in the NBA all the fucking time.
  11. When we quit talking about Colt in 2009.
  12. I'm not debating how the rule should be called I'm saying that based on how the rule actually is called that's not much of a travel. Exactly.
  13. Yeah I was wondering if that's what you meant.
  14. Anyone thinking that's an egregious travel needs to watch more basketball. Yeah that was a dubious gather-step but give me a break. Great shot.
  15. That kid ain't gonna last long in the draft.
  16. McKenzie played today dog. He went 90. And Richards played against Panama.
  17. 2008? Keldon in a 40 point win managed to shoot 2/10 in 19 mins.
  18. Rice was hurt too.
  19. Feels like Poch is weeding out the pool and finding his guys but there's no excuse to be this bad in the process. A lot of this - if not most of it - is on the players. Show up and play like you give a shit. Outside of Puli and Luna today I barely saw any of that. That said - this was a crappy roster going in and a lot of these guys should not be seeing minutes in comps. White, Arfsten, #17 what's his name, CCV, Tessman - if we are giving guys like that serious minutes in '26 we are fucked. Scally was horrendous. Reyna was awful. Have some fucking pride in the shirt ffs. We'll try again next time. Our 2nd best player missing a window shouldn't be an excuse to play this bad. Oh yeah. Best part of the game even though I'd give her maybe a C+ on the night. I'd give her a D- any night if you know what I'm saying.
  20. Lol this White dude is a fucking joke. What a depressing window. Pulisic should have stayed in Milan.
  21. Lol. I've been pointing out that we suck along the back line for years now. Gerg had his coaching issues but Poch has inherited the same dogshit back there just like I said a new coach would. CCV isn't a serious player for this team. Scally looked like he didn't even want to be out there in the first half. I don't even know who the fuck #17 is. It's ironic because that used to be what helped us level the playing field against more advanced teams. We had good, physical CBs and FBs that played their asses off and kept more gifted players in check. I'm not sure what happened to that but it's a glaring issue right now.
  22. Holy shit Pulisic is a fucking monster. That's insane skill.
