    still one men's national championship for Tceh

    Yeah, and the flagship school of the 3rd largest state with a plethora of recruits seems to always underperform. I’ll take being the underdog every time. Have fun with the letdowns

    Negged for straight up trolling and spitting bullshit lies that have been disproven time and time again. You sound more like a bugeater than a raider, to be honest. Enjoy your best day ever. See you down the road.

    don’t know how you prove or disprove something like that, but you’ve read arguments that align to your interest. I’ve just seen the other recognizable schools leave and the media made it seem like Texas was a large reason. I’m just a fan, I don’t actually know anything. 
     

    Yeah it’s always fun to beat Texas.

    Sounds good to me. You make it sound like I should care what it sounds like. 
     

    Tech has been trying to ride on the coattails of this cancer since they joined the SWC, and they would have continued if they could have. It’s why the Tech affiliated state politicians were so pissed they were blind sided by the announcement. 
     

    Why should Texas elevate the conference they’re in? How is that their responsibility? You guys can now elevate the Big 12 without UT’s involvement to your heart’s content. Win/win! 

    By not running everyone off by making the longhorn network over a conference/Big12 network. It don’t make a shit now. The big 12 might as well be CUSA. It’s why I’m glad tech is good at basketball you don’t need a good conference affiliation to get into the tourney.

    Yeah compare the Big 12 titles and NCs in all sports between Texas and tech since the start of the conference and then come back and tell us which school is the infection.. 

    I didn’t say that Texas wasn’t elite. It just seems like the conferences y’all have been in were left worse off than when they started. Ran off a bunch of nationally recognized members so the conference would pander to you then head out. I mean it’s just like an infection.

    I guess. I've wanted out of the Big 12 for 10 years now. I didn't want the SEC, but it's better than the Big 12. 

    Texas has been compensated plenty in the Big 12. The other schools have gone out of their way to allow Texas to receive an unfair amount of the television revenues, just like they did in the SWC. At the end of the day, it's not about how much you're getting paid. It's about being in a different class of players. The Big 12 is a dead end conference. But classify it however you want. Texas won't be competing on the same playing field as Tech in the future, and I'm okay with that. Same as I was for UH, Rice, and SMU after the end of the SWC. Texas is no more a whore for heading to the SEC than Tech was for helping to kill the SWC when they went to the Big 12. It was the right move for Tech then, and this is the right move for Texas now. 

    Tech gets to be reunited with their old SWC buddy, UH. It will be like old home week. I'm happy for you guys. Happier I don't have to be a part of it as a fan.

    You make Texas sound like a cancer/infection. Can’t elevate the conference y’all are in so go and invade/infect another.

    Dude, I have been here and other boards for over twenty years. I read about every post on the main boards. I just don’t post much.  Certain things piss me off, and shit talking by opposing fans directly after a loss is pretty high on the list.

    Having the rival school steal the coach who gave you the best home court advantage then sweeping that team gives shit talking rights imo

    My biggest takeaway from last night is that we should have signed Bryson Williams instead of Dylan Disu.  As I recall, he wanted to come here.  I think Disu might eventually end up being the better player, but Williams fits into Beard's style MUCH better.  Swap those two players last night and I think we might would have won.

    Beard is in danger of falling into the classic trap of recruiting players that don't fit his style and system.  It is one of the reason why coaches go to big programs and then can't replicate their earlier success.  It is very hard to turn down a 5* player for a 3* player who you can coach and develop for 4 years.

    This is what KU fans were saying about Bill Self early in his career. I wonder how Beard will pan out.

    I'd have to look, it would almost certainly have happened for Kansas this year but the game was too early in January and the students weren't on campus yet. Will probably happen for the Baylor game unless they keep falling in the rankings.

    Hopefully Urbanovsky can serve as a mini Grove in the future. Tailgating should be a thing in basketball haha.
