    TEXAS QB TALK

    It should have been Casey's job to lose. Two years more experience and development is an advantage...especially if we're talking about just year 1 of a new coaching staff and system. Starting a freshman/RS QB is not ideal unless you have a really great team around him already and/or he is an elite recruit/prospect. Ehlinger started for 4 years so that QBs like Casey could afford to sit and not be rushed onto the field. Even if you like Card better long-term, it is better to have Casey get through the next 1-2 years so that Card can sit and develop before being expected to take over.
  2. It's gotta be McCasland for TT unless he doesn't want it but I'm not sure why he wouldn't. He got his coaching start at TT and also at Midland, plus the conference experience as a Baylor assistant. OU will be after him too.
  3. Texas Tech basketball is done. They will probably hire some spare next...Chris Beards don't come along everyday. They had the national championship in the bag two years ago but left Hunter wide open for that corner three...that will haunt them forever
  4. Going to basketball games will actually be fun now with a real coach and real arena
  5. Yeah UNC will go after someone from the Roy Williams/UNC tree...I doubt Beard will even be on their radar. Even if he was, I don't think he'd be interested...even though it's a premier job. He is a state of TX/Big XII guy, the only upgrade in program I could see him wanting would be Texas or Kansas.
  6. I believe there's a good chance Beard is very interested and I don't think it has much to do with being an alumni. He is probably not going to be at Tech forever like a Coach K or Izzo. Counting his time as an assistant, that's already 15 years in Lubbock. Sure he could hold out and wait for a UNC/Duke/Kentucky/etc. to open but he's spent most of his career coaching in TX so maybe this is where he will be most comfortable. UT will be the best opportunity in the state and outside of Kansas, the best program with resources in the conference.
  7. If Beard says no then wait for Oregon to be eliminated and gimme Dana Altman!
  8. No doubt they will go all in on Beard but it will be up to him if he wants it or not. They need a big name and someone established because of the new arena coming up so I don't see Ivey getting much consideration.
  9. Hope we play Marquette in the 1st round of the next tournament. Easy win
  10. Thank you Shaka and Marquette!
  11. The Shaka apologists have to be sick right now..."Just more bad luck for him, not fair!"
  12. 52 points by Texas is still the 2nd-lowest of the tournament so far, only ahead of 16 seed Drexel who put up 49.
  13. He's done here. He might keep his job another year if CDC is too scared to make a change now but it is just delaying the inevitable a year from now. The split between Shaka supporters and haters was about 35/65 heading into this tournament but that seems to be down to 10/90 now
  14. This roster was built to contend. The last 2-3 years were spent leading up to this season and it still wasn't enough to do anything. Shaka has shown that he couldn't win with good freshmen/sophomores who would bolt to the NBA Draft. He has now proven that he can't win with an experienced lineup either
  15. Northern Iowa in 2016. Nevada in 2018. Abilene Christian in 2021. He's done here!
  16. ACU defense is good but their offense is garbage...they were just running down the shot clock and throwing up prayers and we still couldn't beat them
  17. Yeah cue the Fraud Alert...all that talent and experience and can't even get out of the first round and beat an ACU
  18. I would say this team is scary and very few teams will want to play us on a neutral court. This is the best team we've had in 10+ years...simply because we finally have elite PG play from an experienced PG like Coleman. That has always been the weakness for us in this conference...we could never get a PG to stay longer than 2 years. Experience, good shooters on the wings, good big men, this team has it all. And then the potential of Kai Jones and Greg Brown are the icing on the cake that will put us over the top vs. the teams like Gonzaga, Baylor, etc. who rely on execution over pure talent.
  19. Championship or bust. This team can win it all...especially this season where it's basically wide open.
  20. OK State looking tired, it's gonna be hard for them to stop us multiple possessions from here on out
  21. Coleman is dominating and he knows it. If him and Sims keeps playing like this in the real tournament then we can beat anyone in the country
  22. Cunningham knows he needs to score 30+ for them to even have a chance today...so far he's bricking everything. We SHOULD blow em out...too much size, depth and rested
  23. So terrible...I wasn't familiar with the victim but this is still pissing me off. This wasn't a quick in-the-heat-of-the-moment murder...he had hours to cool down and gain some sense before realizing not to hurt her. And he still decided to do it and then take his own life of course. What a coward...screw him. I don't care about whatever his situation was, his mental health, whatever side effects of his cancer was. People have cancer. People have crappy things that happen to them in life. They still don't go and pull some BS like this.
  24. This team is scary. Shaka is gonna parlay this season into a contract extension and naming rights to the new arena
  25. I think this is finally the year. Too much talent, depth, and experience on this roster...plus not playing in full arenas this year. Everything is shaping up for a deep run. Elite 8 or bust
