  1. TTU Athletic Director, Kirby Hocutt, today on his radio show says Beard has earned the opportunity for Tech to review his contract yet again and they're going to be proactive. According to Hocutt ......... "We're going to be proactive. The decision for him to stay long time at Texas Tech will be Chris Beard's decision. We're going to continue to invest in this program ... I believe he does (want to stay long-term) ... but let's not get too far ahead of ourselves and focus on the now this year."
  2. Plenty of being in the coach's doghouse experience for both Wallace and Ward in previous years. They ought to be used to it by now.. The two them plus Fields, who started last year, are seen as being originally scheduled for major playing time this season.
  3. And you don't even have to pay the tennis coach to go there. Double win for the cows.
  4. Come on, post some more 14 year old newspaper articles to try and make a point that doesn't even matter. My dad can beat up your dad. No, you're not too desperate.
  5. Too funny, some here are so desperate they're posting old hotel reviews and 15 year old newspaper articles. And the stockyard smell is far from a daily occurance if it helps anybody's feelings. The your mom posts are always the best. I suppose it's the creativity.
  6. Is the section of town where your junior high is located okay?
  7. Funny. I suppose an old boy could very well make that case, though I would tend to view exhaust and traffic as two separate issues. You've got your actual backed up cars issues impeding one's ability to move, and then the ensuing issue of unpleasant exhaust fumes. Definitely related though. Been on message boards now for 20 years or something. I don't recall anyone ever using tautological in a post previously! Kudos to you. An all-time first.
  8. Pay attention please, you haven't seen me post the first thing about Lubbock being better or not being "that bad". Merely, to each his own as there are those who prefer it, which is true. No, Austin doesn't reek of cow shit, only transient piss, exhaust fumes and traffic as I mentioned earlier. Not an Austin slam in the least, every city has its negatives. It's really pretty simple.
  9. Are you actually familiar at all with the word threatened? Who gives a shit what the objective data shows in regard to a subjective matter like city preferences. Fact of the matter is some people prefer Alaska to Paris. So what? As an aside, the "objective data" indicated Hillary would win the presidency too. That was some spot on info.
  10. You're trying a little too hard here. Meant nothing by it other than things seem to be going fairly well at Tech for Beard. I'm not a big basketball recruiting guy, but noticed Rivals anyway, had them listed as the best class in the conference. I'm hardly suggesting it's a world's record effort.
  11. The insecurity demonstrated here is fairly entertaining. Why posters would be so threatened by a simple to each his own concept is perplexing. My city is better than yours, nonny nonny boo boo.
  12. Well I guess to represent the UT campus, if I could figure out how to do it, I could post a pic of transient piss and vehicle exhaust fumes. That's not a shot, but merely an example and nothing more of the fact every city has its particular cross to bear. Appealing and desireable as it relates to a particular city is a very subjective call. I'm frequently surprised that so many here just aren't mindful of that. Lubbock or somewhere else not your cup of tea? Fine, I get that. You're reading the post of a guy who turned down a job and decent raise in Austin. To each his own. Tadlock and Kittley have had money thrown at them. as will Beard. They chose to stay because they like it there. Bob Knight still makes his home in Lubbock.as an example. Beard has lived in Lubbock for 14 years now. It's his home. His kids are in Abilene, his significant other is a head coach there, great arena and they're building him a basketball facility second to none currently, he's gotten six 4 star recruits I believe it is over the last 2 years, he's well paid and will be moreso in the future,, better attendance than UT and so on. I don't pretend to know what's going to happen, but there's more than a few reasons he might just stay. While certainly always possible, his departure to Austin if offered is not a given.
  13. Tho obviously not a landman, the founder of Yeti has recently arrived upon the scene as well.
  14. Beard doing a nice job. 6 four stars in last 2 years. Don't know about anyone else, but fwiw Rivals has the class as the conference's best and that includes the zero star Russian. Nice get today.
  15. His boil was so big all the girls called him Lance. A Texan isn't nothing but a Mexican on his way to Oklahoma.
  16. Semi-Tough, the book not the movie, was absolute greatness. RIP.
  17. Kendall Rogers ✔@KendallRogers INJURY NEWS: @BaylorBaseball LHP Cody Bradford, an All-American and reigning Big 12 Pitcher of the Year, will miss the rest of the season with an injury. He has thoracic outlet syndrome. Bradford was up to 92-93 over the weekend in Houston. #mlbdraft 6 3:49 PM - Mar 6, 2019
  18. Absolutely true. There are many who suggest he actually committed to TT at one point late in the process.
  19. So much, and understandably so, of the UT discussion pertaining to acquiring Beard is focused on the financial side, I think some significant non-dollar related issues are by and large mostly overlooked. He's lived in Lubbock 14 years now and genuinely likes it and considers it his home. Additionally, his daughters, with whom he's very close, are relatively close as they live in Abilene. His serious, long time girlfriend is coaching in Lubbock as a head coach. I see where he's supposedly already the 11th highest paid college in the country and should another elite 8 or better appearance be made this season, Hocutt could make that change for the better in a hurry. Also, TT is currently in the midst of building Beard a literally state of the art basketball facility of basically his own design, creation and druthers. Additionally, he feels he has some true ringers slated to come into the program. This is all not to say his departure is an impossibility of course, but merely should UT decide they wanted to pay the price, I don't think his decision would be solely based on financial considerations.
  20. TT beats San Diego State 5-1 tonight in a late West Coast game.
  21. What, you haven't been keeping up with all this realignment news? I kid, obviously of course you're correct. I was thinking TT played Miss State and Ark as opposed to Miss St. and Neb. Original point still the exact same though.
  22. I guess one never knows for sure. Could always be a love child of his buddy Kim Jong-un that he's trying to pass off as his own. You just know he'd be be quite the hoopster, especially if he's got a haircut like his dad's.
  23. Has a kid who's considering walking on at TTU.
  24. TTU QB commitment under Kliff, Wison Long of Austin Regents, decommitted today. Hadn't even heard from the new staff and they already have another QB commitment. Obviously they were not interested. Per reports, he is very much Colt McCoy's boy as he worked with him in the off season. He tried to get UT interested but they, like others, had concerns about his height, or lack thereof. Top 100 kid though.
  25. TT may turn out to not be world beaters.for all I know, but come on man, they lost 2-1 and 4-2 to two quality SEC programs. Hardly a certain indictment of this year's club just yet. That's the way the baseball go.
