That's a lot of words to say, "No news on Beard."  $9.95, please.

Do they say what time today he'll be talking with Texas?  I assume this means in-person and not on some Zoom call?

They’re definitely a cut above and really fun to watch.  College basketball has gotten so bad that in the last 5 to 10 years the only things I can really remember finding aesthetically pleasing are this year’s Gonzaga team, the second Villanova team to win the national title with Brunson, Divincenzo, et al where their entire roster could rain threes, and  then Zion Williamson.   Just about everything else is a sloppy beating compared to the NBA.   And I used to like college way better than the NBA.

Michigan ran a fun style before their best player got hurt.

So all FCB said in there that was something we really didn’t already know/ expect that was specific was the line about how much practice time that they can get on the new court vs the new practice facility. 
 

The other interesting thing is that this is the second mention of TT not being a Nike school, so the real question is how big of a pain in the ass has it been for Beard because of it. Normally I would blow it off as bull shit, but this is the 2nd or 3rd time it has been mentioned

I mean, I guess he might sign today, but if I were him I sure as shit wouldn't do anything until there's clarity about what UNC wants to do. It's not like UT has any leverage...

...It’s been harder for Beard to lure top recruits, such as Cade Cunningham, who ended up at Oklahoma State, because Tech is an Under Armour school as opposed to a Nike school like Texas and Oklahoma State.

That is crazy to me, but I understand it.

CDC should jam Beard's cell phone or confiscate it during the interview.  UNC? What? No news there.  Here's a really nice pen, sign this please.

I still say we won’t know untilSaturday night’s games or maybe even Monday, regardless of destination.

Even if Beard goes to UNC, there are plenty of good candidates like Kelvin Sampson, Pitino, Wayne Tinkel, and Porter Moser. It's not like we have to go find a Mike Woodson

No, no, no, no.

You have terrible choices.  Please set your list on fire.  

Wayne fucking Tinkle.  The guy with one good run who has finished 7th, 6th, 12th, 10th, 4th, 8th and 6th in the Pac 12.

Bro Sampson got UH into the Final Four. And Rick Pitino took Iona to the tourney in his first year. Who gives a shit about their past

Wow, Pitino took Iona to the tournament?  I can't even imagine that! 

The team that made the NCAAs in 2012, 2013 and 2016-2019?

WELL HIRE HIM!!!

Look, if you want to stage a coup and usurp Del Conte, Hartzell, and Eltife, go for it. Until then, we are not hiring Sampson (not to mention his $12M buyout) or Rick Pitino.

I'm not too worried about Beard to UNC. I don't think that is the style they are looking for. Plus they seem to like keeping it in the UNC family. 

Wes Miller to UNC?  Probably a stretch, but he is an alumni, only 38, and has won the Southern Conference 3 of the last 5 years, going 105-42 (71.4%).

Mark Turgeon is from the Roy Williams coaching tree and could be a candidate. Yesterday he said he's not interested in the OU job, so maybe he had forewarning about Roy retiring.  He has only done "ok" though at Maryland, going 105-79 in the Big 10 and winning the conference once in 7 years.

So UNC offers Beard $5MM/ year and he giggles...

 

He’s going to be a lot more expensive than he would have been a week ago, no matter where he goes/ stays.

UT should have paid the $5MM buyout when they had the chance.

Again, we really need a wtf emoji or at least a look of disgust emoji.

Or he pulls a UNLV on us and leaves for UNC immediately.
