  1. This conversation goes the same fucking way every time and @Sbbruin should know better. A: "Texas should never have fired Rick Barnes, best coach they ever had and he's killing it at Tennessee." B: "Sure, but look at his last 7 years at Texas. It was time to move on." A: "But Terry is awful and isn't even as good as Barnes was in those years." B: "Except we didn't replace Barnes with Terry. We replaced him with Smart, then Beard, and then gave Terry the job as a thank you for handling the Beard debacle." Anyone familiar with the recent history of Texas basketball already knows all this shit. I don't know why we get baited into repeating it again and again. Keeping a great coach is the goal, but when he has almost a decade of mediocre to bad seasons, it's time to move on. It's what's best for him and what's best for us. And yeah, sometimes you downgrade with the replacement. It sucks, but that's the risk you run. I'd still rather take the risk and try to improve our situation than just sit there and learn to be content with mediocrity.
  2. Look, I'm just proud anytime Gerry posts media without accidentally posting a link to milf porn. Even if the milf porn is of respectable quality.
  3. Bobby: Tommy Lloyd is a real possibility for the hire. Gerry: Posts a picture of Chris Farley saying "Tommy likey" in Tommy Boy. Surly: What could this possibly mean?
  4. I haven't it posted yet - Lloyd's buyout looks to be around $9 million according to this article: https://tucson.com/sports/college/basketball/wildcats/men/pascoe/lloyd-reed-francois-university-of-arizona-contracts-donors/article_4c35b8d6-d088-11ee-9b3f-a7c6913abfd2.html
  5. In fact, the guys who nearly won a NC are the problem and the team will get better after they're gone. <Vaguely gesticulates towards a nebulous concept of NIL>
  6. We need @Helobious to confirm.
  7. What about it seems prohibited by the constitution? Genuinely curious, not giving you shit.
  8. Pearl Harbor talk. It’s sticking around.
  9. I like how GymBroFisher has a reasonable take…so he must be an idiot or, even worse, a sip
  10. Is this a bit or are you really being a dick about Helm for no reason? Especially that second sentence. Go back and read the fucking thread before you subject us all to another three pages of histrionic bullshit.
  11. Coveralls with all this shit painted on it seems like something I would wear ironically but eventually it would become the go-to outfit for daydrinking. That actually raises an interesting question - how many otherwise normal people go to A&M because they couldn't get into Texas and rightly reject the idea of going to Tech, start adopting all the weird Aggie shit as a joke, then slowly turn into the very thing they've been mocking?
  12. I've gotten to the point where when Sark hires someone I've never heard of, I am excited to see how it goes. Maybe it doesn't work out, but it seems like these unknowns keep becoming the next big thing.
  13. But this time it's without the mullet weight
  14. Your point about team needs is good and reminds me that pretty much all of this is academic until we see how free agency goes. Guys could shoot up or drop based on whether teams can fill gaps before the draft.
  15. That's a great signal that you can ignore that mock as garbage. Honestly, the mock that is reliably "good" is Daniel Jeremiah's. PFF's big board is also a good indicator, although it doesn't take into account team needs / trades / etc.
  16. If he tests well at the pro day, I could see him rocket up the draft boards. Otherwise, I think it's hard to justify taking him in the second on his size alone. He's only got one year as a starter under his belt and he was very mistake-prone. But you're absolutely correct about it only taking one team. Maybe he gives a great interview or just blows a coach away with his physical presence. It's definitely happened before and I hope it does for him.
