    And after losing every game for every sport they field for the rest of Earth’s life, I want God to recreate the Earth and recreate the university of Mississippi just so we can all come back and slap NCAA sanctions on their new sports so they can never win again. 

    That’s beautiful, man. Pure poetry.

    I'd feel the same about McCasland as I do Miller.... McCasland >> RT, decent hire but  I hoped for better. Don't get me wrong, the lulz factor from  stealing another Tech hoops coach would have been fantastic, but his tourney achievements to date are OK, not great.

    2021 (13 seed) - Won vs 4 seed, Lost vs 5 seed 
    2024 (6 seed) - Lost vs 11 seed
    2025 (4 seed) - Won vs 14 seed, Won vs 11 seed, Won vs 10 seed

    A trip to the elite 8 is nice, but its not like Miller doesnt have a few of those, including taking Xavier there in his 4th year. 

    2021 - North Texas...as you state, that 13 seed beat the 4 seed.  But that 13 seed was North Texas, whose only modicum of success prior to this was years ago under Johnny Jones, and they never had any postseason tournament wins with him.

    You left out 2023 - Won the NIT Championship at North Texas.  North Texas.  This is an underrated accomplishment because UNT just doesn't support the basketball program at all.

    2024 - That 11 seed he lost to went to the Final Four

    2025 - Elite Eight (so far) with basically a 6-7 man rotation

  3. You would think an athletic department's Director of Communications would be savvy enough to realize that threatening a reporter to take a post down like that just made it 100x worse.  Now the original clip will perpetuate in the news cycle longer, and get more clicks, than if he had just let it go.

    That's like Intro to PR 101 stuff.

  4. The one guy escorted out wasn't wearing anything that mentioned Nico.  So the Maverick's response that they were escorted out for violating NBA rules by what they were wearing was complete bullshit.  The big fat guy had on a sweater with no writing, and no hat.  He got escorted out for mouthing "Fire Nico" on the big screen.  That is such bullshit.

    Dianes character was a beating. The show was great in its own way with Kirstie and Woody. The flaming viking was great.

    10000%.

    But it was a Screaming Viking, not a Flaming Viking.

  6. Andy Garcia is in the house!

    Andy Garcia is perfect for this role! Absolutely perfect. 

    I hope TS doesn’t fuck up the storyline with Andy’s character. There is some great potential for the interactions between him and BBT.

    There board is big and is a hodgepodge of billionaires, and ethnicities with varying POVs. I suspect Hartzell’s major task would be to elevate SMU’s academic profile (see Emory). He at least won’t have to talk out of both sides of his mouth about DEI. Given the political climate in Texas, his move is completely understandable.

    You nailed it.  This is 10000% his task.

    Absolutely. Our major loss and SMU’s major gain. 

    It’s right-leaning. I’m sure of it. Is this a serious question?  Do you know David Miller, and really anyone from SMU?

    I would say the Trustees are by and large a little more to the right...but it's like Highland Park moderate right vs. Southlake Carroll right.

    Administration, other than Turner and a couple of others, are left.  Your academic leadership from the top down are all left.  The faculty is all left with small pockets of moderate conservatives sprinkled in but who don't say anything.

    No official state politics but you do have to stroke egos of aspiring politicians like distinguished alum Craig James

    I can assure you no one gives a rats ass about Craig James at SMU.  He's not rich enough for them to care about.
