  1. Wait until april and its $9M if need be, but I aint worried about CDC figuring out the finances. The other factor unique to University of Arizona is how broke they are. The ath dept is running about a $30M+ annual deficit, so you know spending is tight. I'm sure there is always the chance that a big booster will kick in a huge donation if he was at risk of getting poached, but my guess is he would definitely take CDC's call.
  2. Just off the top of my head, a guy like Tommy Lloyd would get me a hell of a lot more excited than a guy with zero experience. Lloyd is 50, made the tournament all three seasons as a head coach (two sweet 16's), and gets paid about what we paid Beard. With the financial problems that exist within the UA athletics department, I could absolutely see him bailing on UA.
  3. Name the idiots outside of ztejas that scoffed at Few. Luckily, he wont be involved in the selection process. My guess is that Few would get about a 99% approval rating from UT fans, not that I think he has any interest in leaving the PNW.
  4. And yet the last time few times we went out onto the open market to grab a coach we got Beard, Shaka, Barnes....all of whom had proven significantly more than a guy who has never faced a ranked Div I team in his coaching career. I would argue that coaching here in Austin is a more desirable gig than our historical "tier" standing would suggest. Resources are the name of the game, now more than ever, and we have resources few schools can match. If the best CDC can do is McCollum, I'll be shocked. My guess is CDC goes big game hunting if he's looking to replace RT this spring.
  5. I wonder how many of these McCollum stans also were pining for Jeff Traylor to be the next football coach. The dude may be the bastard child of John Wooden and Coach K, but there's no chance he's the next horns hoops coach.
  6. What cracks me up most about that is the gomer doesnt even try to mitigate matters by saying "it sounds much more unseemly than it was". Nope. His closing thoughts are "thank god there were no cameras around" Who knew that axe handles = aggy sharpie.
  7. I dont give a shit about twitter and applaud any effort to minimize Elon's fuckery. I was merely pointing out that the NBA professional basketball league and r/NBA are not the same thing.
  8. Thats, uh.... the decision of mods on a subreddit, not the NBA itself. I'm not saying its the wrong decision, but I doubt the NBA is cutting ties with twitter.
  9. Lulz, BTC's entire market cap is something like $2T.
  10. Good lord
  11. Putin fucked around and now he's finding out. Putin, when reached for comment....
  12. I know the name. could never put it with a song. I think its a riot that he's such a huge fucking phenomena in Europe, and a complete zero here in the states. Thats gotta piss him off considering even Milli Vanilli got their 15 minutes.
  13. He's my favorite guy on the team, but its more through process of elimination.
  14. Jay Wright confirmed. Gonna get my tattoo tomorrow.
  15. Its like watching the two most athletic WNBA teams imaginable.
  16. I almost picked up a cheap as shit ticket for the game this afternoon. then I remembered we suck ass. Its a shame I missed witnessing this offensive explosion in person. we're on pace for almost 7 points this game.

  18. There's a lot of things that could have happened this year. We also could have easily lost to ASU. Its not like we were an unstoppable juggernaut. We lost 3 games to good teams.
  19. Always smart to wear your brown pants when hiking volcanos
  20. Yup. ND pushed tOSU's shit in on the first drive. We ran for 58 yds all game
  21. I dont even really care if the fireball from the skies hits either team as long as it manages to takeout that galactic dickbag McAfee
  22. The Hancock HEB is my "home" store and its already a shitshow these days with all the construction and constantly migrating inventory. This was me entering the parking lot yesterday early afternoon The crazed look of the hordes streaming to the entrance caused me to nope the fuck out of there before I ever parked, and I headed over to the far west HEB where I could shop in a civilized manner. Burnet or Mueller didnt even get a consideration.
  23. Meh...I don't buy it. Our numbers look better than usual because we feasted against the mostly dogshit slate of teams in a non-conference schedule that did fuck all to prepare our squad for conference play. Now that we are playing quality opposition in conference, our in-conference only stats show our FG% dropping to 41% and our 3FG% dropping to 29% (compared to our overall numbers of 49%/38%). I will acknowledge we had a tough stretch of games to begin conf play so the numbers may improve a bit, but our conference only stats show us ranked 10th in both categories. That makes "best shooting team ever" a hard sell for me.
