  1. Fwiw, absolutely true, though it's been a little while at this point.
  2. Would it ever occur to you that Beard might have a coaching preference, if for no other reasons than purely personal ones, that are inconsistent with your reasoning above? From an article today in the DMN by Chuck Carlton: "In three seasons at Tech, Beard hasn’t shown any inclination to jump at other jobs. One athletic director who was recently in the market for a head coach said he was convinced that Beard wouldn’t leave Tech." “He’s had opportunities the last two years to look at just about every job that has become available - and he hasn’t looked at any of them. I think that speaks to his commitment to the program,” Hocutt said. “Well, this is the best job for Chris Beard. I’m confident of that.” Entire article= https://sportsday.dallasnews.com/college-sports/collegesports/2019/04/29/chris-beards-eye-popping-new-contract-sends-message-texas-tech-sees-program
  3. Shyne averaged 4.3 yards a carry (120 carries) last year. Cal ILB, Evan Rambo, expected to announce soon for TT as well.
  4. An East Texas native (Gilmer), he might find SFA appealing. Given the TT coaching change and prior turnover, there's a variety of places where ex coaches are now working including a few non P5 spots. Eric Morris now the head coach at Incarnate Word comes to mind immediately.
  5. TTU announced the grad transfer today of Penn State DB, Zach McPhearson. Will have two years of eligibility having played in 24 games, mostly on special teams his fr. and soph years. Offers from Bama, Clemson, Ohio State, etc. out of high school.
  6. Unless something unexpected comes up, sonny boy, hide and watch for some news tomorrow or Wed.
  7. TTU with a decent 2019 acquisition today. Atlanta, Ga. 3 star DB, Dequanteous Watts, announced his signing. Visited a couple of weeks ago. Finalists were TT, South Carolina, and Louisville. Pretty nice offer list with over 40 offers. Originally appeared he might not qualify (test scores), but upon doing so late, the delayed recruiting race was on.
  8. Certainly not that the crowd behavior in Lubbock was admirable, but it does seem some here are being somewhat selective in choosing the targets of their criticism. https://www.foxnews.com/sports/michigan-states-final-four-loss-brings-unruly-crowds-to-streets-23-arrested
  9. Unfortunate as the events of the evening were, relax a little. TT hadn't exactly cornered the market on this hooliganism. Hell, Michigan State lost last night and their students rioted. https://www.foxnews.com/sports/michigan-states-final-four-loss-brings-unruly-crowds-to-streets-23-arrested
  10. Michigan State lost and rioted. Go figure. https://www.foxnews.com/sports/michigan-states-final-four-loss-brings-unruly-crowds-to-streets-23-arrested
  11. The end of the world is near. Bilas, after being a non TTU respector throughout the entire play offs now picks them over Virginia. Seth Davis too. The end is near.
  12. Not that a lot of people care, but this year, TT's track team was ranked number one in the country. Aggie once upon a time tried to hire the coach, Wes Kittley, away. He told them he'd have to take a hard pass. Too bad, so sad for Aggie.
  13. Seth Davis, I believe it was, is quoted as saying he knew for a fact Beard was contacted by UCLA. Apparently he indicated no interest as they moved on.
  14. The only class Girdwood has experience with is the one he took to try and get his GED.
  15. A study in contrasts, Class move by the UT system wishing TT luck. Then there's Girdwood. https://m.facebook.com/utsystem/photos/a.436584279711548/2137333242969968/?type=3&refsrc=http%3A%2F%2Fs9e.github.io%2Fiframe%2Ffacebook.min.html
  16. A more than decent gesture on his part. https://mobile.twitter.com/Coach_Leach/status/1113572679410282497?ref_src=twsrc^tfw|twcamp^tweetembed|twterm^1113572679410282497&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Ftexastech.forums.rivals.com%2Fthreads%2Fgood-luck-tweet-to-tech-and-coach-beard.123607%2F
  17. FIFY. Very important distinction. He's lived there 14 years now.
  18. I post about like the Ags play basketball. Sorry, technical difficulties.
  19. That's what he said. kliff kingsbury jessica simpson photo
  20. Marsha Sharp must have beaten up Girdwood during his 2nd year of kindergarten.
  21. Guys, as a TT fan I sincerely appreciate the congrats. Thanks.
  22. Don't forget about his 2 years at Abilene Christian either.
  23. A fairly myopic view. People's judgement criteria as to city preferences obviously vary considerably. While Lubbock may not be your preference, there are those for which it is. Even should Beard leave TT next week, I can assure you Lubbock will have nothing to do with it. I know for a fact he genuinely likes living there.
  24. Hocutt was again asked about Beard on his radio show today. He said people would be crazy to not come after him, but Tech wasn't going to let him get away. Hocutt reminded his listeners that Beard signed a six-year deal last season. He added they'll continue to be proactive and investing in him and his program. I might add there are a fair number of non-financial reasons he might be interested in staying in Lubbock as well. Has lived there 14 years, daughters are nearby, girlfriend, very shiny new basketball facility currently under construction, etc.
