  1. Hiring Terry was the right thing to do. It was the program's first Elite 8 in 15 years. 2nd place finish in one of the Big 12's toughest years, conference tourney crown and a Top 5 finish in the polls. Holland the #6 player in the country is firmly committed following the news of the hiring and AJ Johnson is sticking around as well. Durant and LMA were very vocal about their support of Terry, it was a heart breaking end to the tourney run but this was the most enjoyable season by far in 15 years.

    I believe Miami shot 27 FTs in the second half. That's 27! In just one half! Texas had 7.  I don't recall the last time I watched a game that was so lopsided in foul calls. The Cunningham foul was fatal. If it goes the other way, their big guy is out and cannot clog up the paint as he'd been doing all day. Even with a hobbled Carr-Rice, we'd get it done. I never thought I'd find myself pulling for UConn but, fuck my life, here I am.

    I'm assuming you didn't watch the second round match up against Purdue last season?

    Well at the absolute worst there will only be 4 coaches in the whole country that did better than he did this year.

    <Surly> Well, he should've won it all I can't get on board with a guy that never won at UTEP or Fresno </Surly>

  4. Brandon Miller makes it extremely easy to root against Bama. Let's go Aztecs! It's entirely plausible both of the remaining #1 seeds could go bye bye in the Sweet 16. Houston is struggling with Miami although there is plenty of time remaining.

  5. Marquette fans are largely rallying to Shaka's defense on twitter, bunch of dullards. They honestly believe Shaka was doomed to fail at Texas because he was "forced" to recruit one and done talent. The fraud lost 8 of his last 9 tourney games, he's nothing more than a clown living off a Cinderella run over a decade ago. He just won his first tourney game in a decade, he's not good. Marquette over-achieved this season with a schedule that wasn't charmin' soft, but it wasn't exactly rugged, either. I'll be shocked if he ever reaches the Sweet 16 with Marquette, his history dictates that he won't.

  6. Terry has already done what it takes, stop acting like there is some bigger fish more deserving of the job. Terry led this team to the Sweet 16 for the first time in nearly two decades, a 2nd place finish in the conference narrowly missing out on first and a conference tourney crown. What the hell else does he have to do to prove he deserves this job? This has been the most enjoyable basketball season since 2008. Feel free to come back and throw it in my face if I'm wrong, but at a minimum Texas is going to the Elite 8. If they draw Houston I feel confident that the final 4 wouldn't be out of reach.

  7. It feels like an eternity since I watched Texas play in a Sweet 16 game. Rodney Terry deserves some big time props for keeping the team focused and getting them this far after the Beard fiasco. Bring on Pitt or Xavier, Texas is going to the Elite 8, book it!

    If he get's out of the first round, I think he gets the job (as long as the 2nd round exit isn't a blow-out to A&M).

    Which makes it even funnier that more than half of the votes said Elite Eight or beyond for consideration for the HC position. My only concern with Terry is can he recruit? He's obviously proven he can coach, you couldn't insert any random schmuck into Terry's position and expect Texas to finish 5th despite what some of the surly "experts" claim.

    Not. A. Conference. Championship. 

    I'm no cacti expert by any stretch of the imagination, but I certainly recognize a prick when I see one.

    Yes? Do you actually think Rodney Terry is a better coach than Musselman?

    of course your username is Chad

    A case of Jekyll and Hyde I'd rather not have coaching Texas. Two very good seasons and two seasons eerily reminiscent of Shaka at Texas. I'll take a pass on a guy that can't even consistently finish over .500 in a mediocre basketball conference.

    Any Fear Factory fans?  They just started touring with the new singer a few days, surprisingly sounds really good.

    I loved the lineup they had when they returned with the Mechanize album. I think Tony Campos from Static-X plays bass for them now?

  12. After Fury beats Paul a second time he should be retired back to youtube where he belongs. Logan and Jake are some mark ass bitches, he was making excuses in the post fight interview. I can't believe one judge favored Paul in the score card.

    I kept hoping for the light bulb for Devin Askew to turn on but it never happened at Texas. Now he is averaging 15.5 points and 3 assists for the Cal Bears. Sometimes you need a change of scenery to get out of the funk, I guess.

    It didn't turn on, Cal is a shit team devoid of any talent that would be lucky to win a single game in the Big 12. Cal is a 3-24 team, Askew was leading the team in attempts and only had one other player with a similar volume below him in FG %. Those 15PPG don't mean a whole lot, don't be fooled Askew is still shit.
