  1. Aggy jokes have been around before the internet existed and then on groups before hornfans, hornfans, shaggy bevo and now surly. They have never gone away and we started a long time ago. First joke I ever heard was probably in the 70's and it had to do with a mug.
  2. So not knowing where this goes does anybody think this guy is worth getting? Are we even an option since he took an official visit to Texas?
  3. That guy did not come here and keep doing what he did at VCU and the reason we hired him. Instead based on this board he saw this job as a stepping stone to the NBA and changed his offense and defense styles as a way to interview for the NBA and yes that was a disaster for us.
  4. No it is not just you someone commented on the resemblance at a bar and the person was not a Texas fan.
  5. My hesitance is not with RT being able to sell high school kids since everything I have read about him is that he is a great recruiter. My cautious optimism has do with not knowing what kind of salesman he will be for the program. Will he be the kind of guy that gets the media to fall in love with him so that they sell Texas as the place to be in todays transfer portal world. Then again winning consistently and word of mouth of him being a great coach and a great man is another way to skin the same cat. I hope you are right and it will continue. I talked to someone today that knows a couple of players that played for RT in the past and they love him and say he is a great coach and person.
  6. That is why I said wait and see attitude unlike @TexArcher that was stating that it will continue as a matter of fact. Read the post!
  7. There is no evidence that it will continue and the closest thing to it is he was able to take a bad Fresno State team and make it better. Yet, if a great coaching performance this year somehow is enough evidence for you that he will be a great program builder have at it. Many of us think he has more than earned a chance to be here and we will be taking a wait and see attitude on the program building. We all hope that with Texas' resources he can show he is also a great program builder but being a good coach does not make you by default a great program builder.
  8. Folks that know way more BB than me say Terry made good adjustments and had good plans going into games. So coaching a team with talent is something he can do well. Building a program and maintaining it is the question. So in the interest of being convinced he can do it I looked at his record and he did improve Fresno State. Is that enough evidence probably not but Fresno State record plus what he did this year as a coach is more than enough to say he deserves a shot.
  9. Yesterday as I discussed the collapse (choke, refs, going cold, whatever) with my nephew, I said I rather have this terrible feeling in my gut and kick to the balls then what basketball has been since Barnes went cold and especially under POS Shaka Smart where I did not even care. I also said being able to discuss being on the brink of a final four and blowing it is a nice consolation prize when compared to knowing aggy can only dream about having the chance at such a conversation.
  10. One last thing fuck, mother fucking, fuck!
  11. Yep we were at fault but the want to blame the man.
  12. The refs may have helped this loss but did not cause it. Texas getting sloppy with passes and missing key shots and being out of control in key situations is the reason we lost.
  13. Was it you that said the team that cold would lose in the second half
  14. Double dogit lead and was thrown away
  15. High seeds are going to hold today!
  16. People have to realize that Texas was seven years removed from a muffed punt costing us a MNC and for the first time Texas had gone through an Oh No We Suck Again period. The 60's gave us 2 MNCs and the 70s 1 MNC and 6 conference titles. We arrived at the Cotton Bowl thinking things were looking like they were back on track. Miami showed us how wrong we were and how underwhelming our talent, schemes and everything was in comparison to what was needed at the time to win an MNC. Beating Miami today does not come close to making up for us being exposed as pretenders that day.
  17. I hate that this keeps getting brought up since the only way it is payback is if we lay down a UConn type beating with over the top celebrations that get us at least five technical fouls. A close win does nothing to repair the damage of that day.
  18. Rewatching game 11:57 in second half is such a Lance Blanks 3 by Hunter
  19. Just got home from the bar and fucking A and how is our big guy
  20. The difference of up by 10 versus up by 4 is so small in UH game.
  21. If Bama plays this way against someone that is making their shots, it will be ugly for them.
  22. This Bama v SDSU game right now
