    reading the stuff around here, none of that was his fault. true genius is often working on a higher level. im sure his team stats show they're a top 12 team 

    surly poster >>> ole miss should extend him now !

    I wonder how well this post ages. It’ll be interesting to see if he can replicate his success outside of Texas the next few years or if he’ll just be a “what could’ve been” coach. As a Tech fan I’ll def be rooting for the latter and don’t care if it is considered schadenfreude.

    I would honestly prefer McCasland today. Ask me 4 years ago and it's obviously Beard. But, Grant is clearly a very good coach and does not seem to have the immense amount of personal baggage Beard carries around.

    I see McCasland being like James Dickey, a couple SS, and getting into the tourney more years than not, but not much more. Great for a mid major like Tech, but not elite.

    The benefit of hindsight notwithstanding, I wonder if Tech fans would prefer Beard over McCasland today.

    Dude, are you serious? Beard took us to an elite 8, and within seconds of a national championship. He got Ole Miss ranked for the first time in like 5 years. Sure they are losing to ayeneum, but he wouldn’t be starting fresh at Tech. He probably would’ve been the best coach in Texas men’s NCCA basketball had he not run up to that plainview McD’s.

    I don't know.  Tech has a hard on for Texas like nothing else.  It's their Super Bowl if Tech could actually play in a super bowl and they let Mahomes QB and lead them to a threepeat all in one game.  That's what it seems like this means to Tech.  Which is great, just no need to deny it. 

    Yeah, and Tech tends to underperform (at least in football) when they see the burnt orange on the other end. The vitriol against UT has ramped up like crazy in basketball, especially since Beard's tenure at both places. I'm definitely trying a reverse jinx tactic as both teams are honestly pretty mediocre for the Big 12 at this point in the season and anything can happen.

    PS5 is great, but for college ball fuck the Playstation. Xbox is where it's at. Funny story, when I was a freshman in college most of us had Xbox 360. Only like 2 or 3 kids in the dorm had a PS3. Odd ones out.  

    Yeah I remember those days. Was the same for me.

    I remember when the all star game was laughed at because they played zero defense. That's basically every NBA game now. I saw the writing on the wall in the 06 finals. Have barely watched any NBA since. 

    That 06 finals game suuucked.

    Yes sir.  A female friend and I were looking for an apartment one year.  Long story short, she had the cash and credit score, so she got more of the say-so.  One of the spots we looked at was a block from the field.  I damn near resorted to begging her to pick this spot. I did get a cool pic one time of Troy, Aikman, and Irvin standing side-by-side from about 5 feet back once.  I need to see if I can find that.

    I think you meant Emmett, Aikman, and Irvin…Right?

    It appears that Dak has reached the final stage of grief - Acceptance 

     

    Dude is Romo 2.0, and this is coming from one of the biggest Romosexuals around. I’m delusional and think that the best coach Romo had was Big Tuna and the better version of that is Belichick

    aggy 0-2 to start the SEC.

    Kentucky, @ Arkansas, @ LSU in the next 3 games. It likely won't happen but an 0-5 start in the SEC is not off the table. They've been pretty terrible for over a month now. Buzz Williams job security is getting really dicey. 

    I was definitely wrong on the Buzz Williams hire. I thought he’d be a great fit given his success at Marquette, but looking back Marquette is just a well oiled machine that can make anyone look good.
