  1. oh, i think this is just getting started. people are going to start singing like birdies.


    And not just at Texas. Something tells me this isn’t the only “college admission advisor” or admissions facilitator offering these services. May just be the tip of the iceberg.

  2. Imagine that... parents want their kids to have the best educators and educations possible and they’re willing to use their money and influence to screw over deserving students even if their kid can’t get in on their own merits. Almost like we live in an entitled aristocracy.

  3. So who besides Lunardi actually has Texas in the tournament? I read an article in The Athletic this morning counting Texas as safely out. I assume a loss to KU, a .500 record and 16 losses would have to have us out, but I know this is the softest bubble in years. 


    Lunardi said on Saturday that he wouldn’t put a .500 Texas team in the tournament.

    Is Roach going to play against Kansas? As much as it pains me to say it, I can actually see him coming back and we surprise Kansas in the opening round.

  4. Since the mint is thriving and I wanted to try this 1792 Full Proof I figured I should get some julep practice in before the Derby in May.

    How was it?

    I’ve started bottles of the Single Barrel and the BiB. Liked the BiB. Still waiting to pop the Full Proof.
  5. My parents love going to storms for ice cream and I tried their burger once. It was very good for fast food, and may be the best fast food burger I've had. That said Maple and Motor destroys it and pretty much every other burger I've had at a restaurant. 


    Another vote for Maple & Motor in big D.

  6. I'm assuming the picture of the second plate with the soft fried potatoes and toast didn't come out.

    Gotta have the toast to sop up the runny yolk. How else you gonna clean that plate?

  7. So for those of us who haven't read through the entire thread someone explain why the FBI started caring about paying players.  

    Because College Basketball is a dirty freaking business these days ..,

  8. How is it that no one senior in Adidas gets indicted? Someone approved those payments.

  9. And Beard would be my choice to replace Smart however he is pretty much out of reach with that 6 year deal he has.

    Not saying we should go after Beard. He’s a really good fit for Tech given his background there. Good for them. Makes for a better conference.

    Not so sure his success would translate to Texas. I was just musing how hiring BK really worked out well for them.

    Are any of Barnes old assistants in Austin making any noise elsewhere?

  10. Barnes was influenced and somewhat mentored by Bobby Knight. Beard is a Knight disciple. The comparison is apt. Beard's teams definitely remind you of a typical Barnes team. 

    Tech made a good move in hiring Knight even on the downside of his career. It’s paid a huge dividend with Beard.
