  1. It's not football where you need a few years to build the program. In this age of NIL and transfer portal, you can instantly build a winning program if you're good and have the donor support. I think it's time to rethink the 5-year minimum contract. The good thing about RT's contract is that it's equivalent to a 3-year price tag ($5M per year) for a perceived good coach. Hopefully, there are offset clauses that will make the BO even less. Texas can get rid of RT wihtout much hesitation when it comes to BO, but as is often the case, they may not do it because of the "optics."
  2. If you think this year has been bad, wait till next year. It's only going downhill from here.
  3. But, but that was because of the mess CB left.
  4. Most of us saw this coming other than perhaps 3-4 posters who still keep defending RT and keep finding some silver lining in every chance they get. They were cheering the JAG transfers after RT missed on the priority targets and lost the two 5 stars who lobbied to get him hired. They were telling us how dare we presume to know more about coaching than the current and former players and recruits who were lobbying for RT. Really? Facts and data over emotions, all day.
  5. We could have paid the dude a big bonus instead and he would have been hired away by another unfortunate program.
  6. We have played KU tough in recent years, but I am not holding my breath this time. This team, especially Hunter, tends to play with low basketball IQ. If Hunter has a good game, then maybe we keep it close or even win. Really hoping for a good game.
  7. If Texas makes it, the committee will also put Ole Miss in the same bracket. if they are a bubble team.
  8. He will get a raise in a few years if he keeps winning, so I doubt his salary remains at these levels if he is still coaching at Texas in 2030.
  9. I still don't think he is an eloquent speaker. He doesn't have a commanding voice.
  10. Despite this ugly loss, I am not too disappointed by this team and the coaching job RT has done so far. I guess I was expecting it to be a lot worse, so in a strange way, I don't mind this season too much. We are a middling team capable of causing some upsets, and if we get a favorable draw, we might win a game or two in the tourney.
  11. Houston is a terrible matchup for us. We need to recruit more physical players.
  12. The rout is on.
  13. Love Disu's game and heart.
  14. We are fighting hard but it's hard to play against their suffocating defense. They also seem bigger and more athletic than us at every position.
  15. We didn't pressure Penix at all. You would expect a QB of his experience and caliber to be on with virtually no pressure and weak secondary defending the pass catchers.
  16. Hunter is a major liability at this point and he is not showing any sign of improvement. There must be one student on campus who can play better PG than him.
  17. Disu to the rescue.
  18. Ugly game in an ugly court so far.
  19. I have not seen any reports or any indication from Randi's tweets that she is still with him. Beard appears to have picked up where he left off at Texas. He is a consummate salesman, so he will be loved by the fans wherever he coaches. He is bringing the same energy at Oxford that made him so popular at Texas, just like he did at tech. Sure it's not the same job with the same perks but it's just a stepping stone to a much bigger job if he can keep his personal life in order. Texas may have saved some money on the coach's salary but they will lose a lot more in ticket sales, ratings and merchandise revenues, if we can't keep up the same level of performance, so no, Texas didn't make out better.
  20. Seems like CB being an alleged POS and woman abuser has affected his employer and his alleged victim much more than him. His career seems to be back on track whereas we're praying for an unlikely tourney bid and who knows what Ms. Trew is up to. At least we got an E8 out of this whole fiasco.
  21. Agreed. He may not want it, but Aggy can pony up a lot of money to get him.
  22. I believe Aggy will go after him next season. I don't see UK parting with Calipari any time soon unless he is looking for a change of scenery. Just a hunch.
  23. When Buzz is fired, it won't shock me if your school went after Beard with broad support from your fans and alumni.
  24. Tell us why you really hate Beard. It's not because of this, is it?
  25. Team played hard. We lost because of rebounding and boneheaded play by Hunter.
