  1. I was critical of Beard because I knew his offense wasn't going to be appealing to some but these discussions are hilarious to me. Since Beard became a head coach in D1 he's 10-4 in the tournament. Shaka is 0-3. The idea is to win in the tournament. Beyond impatience, it's just a clear misunderstanding of college basketball. Nobody gives a shit about anything other than March. If Beard wins just 1 game in the tournament the program is headed in a more positive direction.
  2. There was a graphic (I believe from Bart Torvik) that compared the Texas roster last year to other rosters in years past. Almost every roster with similar talent and experience won a national title. I wish I was kidding. We didn't even win a tournament game.
  3. I was a Shaka defender and it's like people haven't followed Shaka. He's capable of putting runs together but it's been nearly a decade since he won a game in the tournament. That's why he was told to pack his bags. College basketball coaches are judged on winning in March. Until Shaka shows he can win in March it doesn't mean much of anything.
  4. aggy moves to 1-6 in the SEC. I understand an internal hire like Lincoln Riley when your program isn't in decline but I don't get this for aggy. Maybe Blair is the problem but hiring the 2nd in command of a declining program is very meh.
  5. Lee is almost impossible to defend in the half court. Which is why Schaefer is gonna press for about 40 minutes and make her run.
  6. The next 5 games for Kansas based on NET: #13 Tech #9 Kentucky @ #29 Iowa State #4 Baylor @ #18 Texas Jesus, that's brutal.
  7. I will say this about K-State they look much better than they did a few weeks ago. They were a couple plays away from wins over Texas, Tech and Kansas in the last couple of weeks. I don’t think anybody is going to enjoy playing them. I forgot they also choked the TCU game or they could have gone 4-0 during this stretch. I thought K-State was going to be the auto-win for everyone in the Big 12 but it’s not looking that way.
  8. aggy is #60 in NET now. NET seems to be really driven by good wins. Beating nobodies doesn’t do anything for you.
  9. The NCAA tournament is going to be wild this year because of parity across the board. Just look at some of the NET top 10ish teams……LSU, Kansas, Kentucky, Tennessee and Villanova. I would not be surprised at all if these teams don’t make the 2nd weekend of the tournament.
  10. 6 of the next 7 games are against NET top 30 teams. Go 5-2 during this stretch and we are in good shape to get a very high seed.
  11. Arkansas beat aggy but I’m convinced Arkansas has the lowest basketball IQ of any team in the country. They do some of the dumbest shit I’ve ever seen. Tonight they were up 6 with a minute to play and it went to OT. It wasn’t even shocking to see Arkansas do that either.
  12. It's kind of insane but in 2 seasons we've maybe had our full roster for like 3 games. With Covid and injuries this has to be annoying for Schaefer.
  13. Reading up on Addazio, I think he likes fatties so that makes sense with Jimbo. Jimbo is back to taking cubes which was always his preferred mold. Also, from reading some old articles it sounds like Addazio’s OL was awful at the end of his tenure at Florida. Addazio was also the OC (a bad one) so that might have played a role in their OL being bad.
  14. So Jimbo’s coaching moves this cycle were: 1) Hired an OL coach that’s an asshole and racist that hasn’t coached the position since 2010. 2) Hired a strength coach that’s only been employed by Jimbo and has always been in an assistant S&C role. 3) Hired a defensive coordinator that murdered one of his players and has only coached 1 top 25 defense in his entire career. Jimbo better keep buying recruits because he doesn’t seem very good at anything else.
  15. Billingsley was in Saban’s doghouse because he wouldn’t get vaccinated. That doesn’t say much about his play but I guess you could argue it’s an example of him being a bad teammate. I thought Billingsley looked like a future All-American in last year’s playoffs and I’m betting his struggles this year had almost entirely to do with BoB being a moron and not knowing how to utilize a flex TE.
  16. That’s why Sark used him primarily as a flex TE. BoB is a moron.
  17. Surly went from there’s no way Billingsley transfers to Texas because he’s a NFL talent on a team like Alabama to meh within weeks. Hilarious.
  18. Agreed but the one thing with Lebby is a lot of good coaches have hired him even if he’s never been the guy. So at least Lebby has shown value where other coaches want him. I’m fairly certain this Sanders dude has only been employed by Jimbo. It’s weird to me that an assistant S&C coach for nearly 15 years hasn’t already been the guy at a decent program. If Sanders has such a great reputation why hasn’t anybody else hired him out of his assistant role under Jimbo? It’s a very odd hire if you ask me.
  19. Same but there are proven S&C coaches out there. Sanders is a flip of a coin. Nobody really has a clue what he’s capable of as “the guy”. You went from a proven S&C coach to a complete unknown which definitely screams downgrade on paper.
  20. These ESPN bracketologists don’t put enough value in NET. Texas at #6 in NET and 4-1 in Q1 games is definitely getting higher than a 5 seed.
  21. Has Sanders ever been the one leading a S&C program? He’s been an assistant for somebody else everywhere he’s been right? Not to mention he was on the FSU staff that had major issues with S&C at the end of Jimbo’s tenure there. Schmidt is an asshole but he’s also good at his job. This seems like a major downgrade.
  22. aggy softball is going to be projected near the bottom of the SEC but a terrible SEC record might still get them into the tournament. But there’s a real chance aggy misses the postseason in every major women’s sport this year. I.e soccer, basketball, volleyball and softball.
  23. From Texas, to USC, to FAU. Yikes. I guess Orlando should just be happy he got another chance with USC.
