    I would not want to play WV in the NCAA tournament. When Stevenson is hitting shots they can beat a lot of teams. 

    Of course when they played Texas about 4 of these were banked in from the same spots. 

    Tech is just sloppy and uninterested. I was at the last game against OSU and even on senior night the entire team and coaching staff just looked dejected and like they were just going through the motions. It’s a talented team, as evidenced by the close games. They just start the games hot and then just don’t have the heart to actually play good defense and finish.

    I remember when we hired Beard some irate Tech fan tweeted  that Beard better never show his face north of Lamesa if he knows what's good for him.

    Got to think Beard remembers the warning.

    Hahaha, sound like that guy (along with Randi) is borderline. Lamesa guy will likely be one of the first screaming, “We got him back! We got him back!”

    During Beard’s departure there were also restaurants offering him free food for life. There’s rumblings that some of the BMD are trying to get Beard to Tech, but the regents have to approve (which likely won’t happen given that West Texas pride).

    Whenever I see “cuh” I think “If anybody wants to see, there's a Donkey Kong kill screen coming up”

    I just googled this and was not disappointed at all haha

    Tech is never going to hire Beard back. He's like the one person on the planet that can be easily and quickly crossed off their potential candidate list.

    Yeah, I know. I’m not an idiot. It’ll end up being some rando who keeps the status quo of almost just barely getting “there.” Tech is quickly being the new “maybe next year” A&M

  5. I’d take Beard back on a heartbeat. With the conference realigning and baseball being the only good sport left it would be nice to have Beard back. Attempts at burning it down on the way out didn’t really occur from what I remember unless you’re counting taking asst. coaches and players choosing to transfer; both of which ended up not mattering as much as we thought it would. I’d rather be a winning “classless clown” than a pious loser.

    Tceh big wigs gotta figure out how to get out of paying Adams first AKA Sovereign Immunity pt 2: electric boogaloo...

    Well Adams is currently suspended amid a racial slur allegation.

    conference titles? sure. 15 in the last 23 years.

    but since Switzer left OU in 88, Texas and OU have the same number of national championships.

    since 2000, Texas and OU have the same number of national championships. that includes the worst decade in the history of Texas football. that includes, by winning % 3 of the worst 7 coaches in Texas history. that includes, by winning %, 2 of the 3 worst coaches in Texas history (Strong and Sark)

    OU is absolutely not Ohio State, who haven't missed on hiring a head coach since like 1946 when they hired a guy who was there for one year and still won 55% of his games. literally, since 1900 that's their worst full time coach.

    here is OU since Switzer left:

    • Gary Gibbs, 62.5%
    • Schnellenbarger, 50%
    • John Blake, 35.3%
    • Stoops, 79.8%
    • Lincoln Riley, 84.6% (higher than Switzer, higher than Bud Wilkinson
    • Brett Venables, 46.1% --> for comparison, Charlie Strong was at 44.4%.

    Venables is much closer to John Blake than he is Bob Stoops. next year is make or break for him, and personally i have little faith in him not being who he showed everyone he was last year.

    now, does OU have a ton of institutional buy in ? yes. do they have a great AD? absolutely. but let's not act like they have some institutional long level of success in hiring great coaches and only great coaches.

    Very good points. You’re right about the National Championship thing, and I didn’t think out the coaching timeline I didn’t think that far into it. The obvious argument is number of trips to the NC, but nobody remembers the loser haha. Venables doesn’t seem like he’s going to be the answer, I never got the feeling that he was HC material. He reminds me a little of Coach O. He may have a random amazing year because of the recruits and the coaches around him, but he’ll end up crashing it into the ground.

    Man I hope every jersey says Leach above the numbers on the back. That would be so kick ass.

    And F Tech for firing him. They better stay low and say nothing. Trash school for sticking up for that dirtbag entitled son of Craig James. They will never again be in a place like they were with leach. They did it to themselves.

    Enjoy being SMU for eternity.

    Yup, and UT will be the Michigan of the south. Constantly talking about potential, money, tradition and prestige while OU (or in Michigan’s tOSU) continues to have more conference and national titles. 
     

    Thought to be fair, being able to keep a kid disciplined in Austin, especially a 4-5 star, has to be damn near impossible. 
     

    Here come the flurry of downvotes haha. Craig James did kill 5 hookers and the unsubstantiated west Texas hubris will keep Tech mediocre at best. Being a Tech fan just sucks 🫠

    I knew his vibes were fucked when we played his Buffalo team in the tourney in 2019. Dude acted like a straight up lunatic the entire game on the sideline, I've never seen anything like it.

    Dude, have you seen Chris Beard? I’d take him back as a coach in a heartbeat I personally think that crazy fire can be useful on the sidelines.

    That's a dumb channel, I saw a few videos last fall and it was dumb. I'm not gonna watch and can probably predict that there is a lot of overblown "sky is falling" material involved. They probably hedge by saying some good things, but focus more on doom and gloom. That's pretty much the tone of OSU message boards any time we struggle at anything for any period of time.

    This is the exact same stuff that used to go on at raiderpower

    About the same as wasting a timeout in the 3rd qtr to avoid a delay of game

    Well I think that just letting Mahomes snapping it quickly and sneaking it gets a 1st down.
