  1. Very cool people these Israelis Definitely not insanely racist, violent freaks
  2. I mean just look at him
  3. That dude should get fired immediately, what a piece of shit
  4. I've called Texas his dream job more than once but if I think about it it's probably not 100% accurate. The people at Tech that knew him best always maintained that his dream job was either a basketball blue blood like Duke or UNC or an NBA job. If true, then Texas (being his alma mater) was the best available alternative to that ultimate goal. I think he would have happily coached until he retired at Texas, but if he got the opportunity to shoot for what he saw as a higher calling he likely would have taken it.
  5. If you were right, Beard would already be back at a "top" job. He will literally never get hired by any basketball blue blood or any otherwise respectable institution. On top of his personal failings, he's also hauling around a guy who A) was fired from Tech for making racist comments to a player and B) publicly dragged for cheating on his wife with his dead twin brother's widow. That kind of stink only flies at the kind of institutions with no moral standards whatsoever and it's not going away any time soon. That's not to say he can't have a successful career, he likely will, but he will never have another job like he had at Texas or any of the blue blood positions he clearly covets.
  6. I don't remember it all off the top of my head, I'd have to go digging through a thread on the Tech Rivals board that I am no longer a paying member of, but mostly they centered around drug/alcohol abuse. There were multiple rumors of him doing cocaine/being coked up in the office long before there was even a whisper of him leaving Tech, many offhand rumors/stories of random binges he would go on, womanizing, public (and private) arguments/fights with Randi etc etc. Your usual vices for a dude with few inhibitions to begin with that's just stumbled onto a pile of money.
  7. There are much worse rumors from Lubbock but nothing confirmed. Obviously, considering what he did for our basketball program, it sucked as a fan to see him go, but I also heard from multiple people that I trust that work for Tech in some capacity or another that the administration was relieved to see him go for myriad reasons. I hope getting fired from his dream job was a wake up call and he has cleaned up his life. Hiring Mark Adams doesn't give me much hope for that though.
  8. Gotta love his bar for someone representing your university is "hasn't choked anyone in 2 years"
  9. UNM is not very disciplined
  10. Jesus what a stupid foul
  11. You're coping. Yeah, he fucked you. It sucks. The university had no choice but to fire him, literally every school in America would have. You can't get publicly arrested for felony domestic violence as a result of biting and strangling your significant other, send a letter to your boss(es) doubling down without taking on a single ounce of accountability and then expect to keep your job. Them's just the breaks.
  12. He fucked it up for himself. Like Chris Beard is a human being, he has agency. He could have not gotten fired from his job at the University of Texas very easily.
  13. Iowa State has a really good roster but they've been really inconsistent all year and looks like this is gonna be one of those days for them
  14. You really ought to not ignore the numerous posters imploring you to take control of your alcoholism.
  15. I never said she wasn't at fault as well, just that the entire blame is shifted on her very often.
  16. Can you just enroll yourself in AA instead of doing this
  17. Only reason is I picked Baylor in my bracket to win this game (yes I'm aware how ambitious this pick is) Fuck 'em both
  18. I literally can't roll my eyes at you hard enough you pedantic moron
  19. Says who? I would bet my house that CDC isn't wasting his time on Self and Self doesn't have any reason to even take the call. You have no leverage whatsoever over him.
  20. Dude has a lifetime contract at a basketball blue blood that pays him over $10m a year you really think he's entertaining another job?
