And who agreed to give Perryman a scholarship this year that prevented us from adding a player?

We lost to Barnes and Shaka in the same year. Thanks RT.

Losing to Barnes and Shaka in same season.

I was actually there that day. Hard to find a reference point for others but it was super exciting at the time.

I guess someone somewhere is interested in Brooks And Dunn?

Watching UVA and Colorado St I’d say I’m giving RT a win in the first round so I guess there’s that.

Good thing I didn’t pick my wife based upon my past overall history.

Do it

It’s bad enough that one of them wears a diaper. Can’t have two.

Make fun of these fuckers all you want but come January they are going to be telling us all what to do.

That we care more about women’s basketball? I mean, this was the resume it took to get that job.

Look at what RT has reduced us to.

That’s not why we are losing this game.

Just shut the fuck up.

I couldn’t be less interested in that. Sucks because I enjoyed going to Empire Classic this year.

I’ve just found it completely reasonable that Republicans have made backchannel agreements with Russia and China. Republicans agree to stop Ukraine funding so Putin gets to do his thing. Russia in turn interferes in the election so Trump seemingly wins. China takes Taiwan and no one gives a shit. I do a lot of weed so I guess that could be why.

Timmy Allen and his brother were more responsible than anyone. The roster in year one wasn’t elite but it was a pretty good foundation towards the season we had last year. Everyone who came back from that first year was a big part of what happened last year. I get that Beard pissed off a lot of people. But the idea that he was not an elite coach when we hired his is just dumb. If you had an opportunity to have attended a practice you would understand why his teams generally play very good defense and why it’s dropped off.

I’d argue that it was more risky to do what they did given the dollars involved. Did you go to any games this year and see the smattering of empty seats, the tech fans who got enough seats to be fairly loud and the decline in student interest? They ended up lifting the Big Ticket requirement for students just to get the Coral full at the end of the season. I would also say that the coaching searches that brought you Sark, Vic the softball guy worked out pretty good. I’d include Beard because on paper it was a great hire at least up until drunk Randy upset the wives of some important people at MSG after which she was banned from UT events.

I’ll get my head bitten off again by closetojumping, but I’ve had several people who have reason to know tell me that it hasn’t been what most would think but apparently the Tito’s guy has it in better shape going forward. So, drink a lot of Tito’s.

It could be other things too like keeping Perryman on scholarship.

It’s not that hard. One couldn’t academically qualify and the other took an offer to make more money than we were paying for NIL. It was not RT’s fault except that his lack of credentials was at least a talking point when weighing options.

I don’t think it’s anything about RT the person. I have found him to be super personable, upbeat and generally nice to be around. I think the players and their families generally like him and I would never worry about him embarrassing the University (horns down not withstanding). I can just speak for myself and say that the lack of a real coaching search to test just who you might have been able to land before making a purely PR decision to hire a guy that had not had a lot of head coaching success, burned my ass. I have this belief (I’m sure several of you will point out how unrealistic this is) that the University of Texas should not have a head coach who has not demonstrated consistent head coaching success prior to coming. Look at Coach Vic as an example. He is a really good head coach as shown by where he has the program and what he did with Mississippi State prior to coming. It is true that my logic would have excluded Sark for example who, fingers crossed, seems to have what it takes. But, hiring any coach is a crap shoot and playing the probabilities is my preferred way of minimizing risk. RT could very well become an elite coach. He’s not that right now hence my opinion that the University of Texas should have a head coach who is in effect learning on the job what it takes to be consistently successful. It’s a skill set and it’s different from being an assistant. There is a learning curve which I just don’t have the patience for.

This is exactly what I was referring to. If you had actually read above who the specific poster I was talking about you would not have felt compelled to respond. And yes, reading is fundamental.

I think its funny that some have taken offense to being labeled as bullish on RT. Just quit making yourself look stupid
