  1. There are certain circumstances where promoting an assistant could make some sense. Maybe it is a hot shot young guy who is destined for bigger things if you don’t retain him (Marcus Freeman in football) or someone who has been on staff for a lengthy period of time and has been groomed as an obvious replacement for a coach getting older and close to retirement (UNC and Duke in basketball). Terry didn’t fit either of those descriptions and actually had a mediocre track record as a head coach, which makes it even worse because there is nothing to dream on.
  2. Nope. Been a fan of him for a while.
  3. Not a concern at all. So did Beard and McCasland until they got to big boy programs and adapted.
  4. It all runs together at this point. Ben McCollum will pull us out of this rut.
  5. One of Barnes last teams went 11-22
  6. Kaluma out for the rest of the game. Knee.
  7. My prediction for Friday: 1B Schuessler 3B Rodriguez SS Flores RF Belyeu CF Gasparino LF Winfield C Galvan DH Chamberlain (Borba if facing a LHP) 2B Mendoza SP Spencer That has us alternating right-left all the way through the order, which I think Schloss would like. Rodriguez batted second in the Alumni game so I'll assume they are comfortable with him up there in the order.
  8. Orphey was Jeff Choate's DB coach at Montana State, which is a connection I found interesting outside of him being a Houston area guy.
  9. That is one of the biggest collapses I’ve ever seen. LSU is so damn bad.
  10. OU is going to come open too. Miami, Indiana, FSU, Texas and OU with more to come. Will be an interesting carousel.
  11. Is Indiana a better job than Texas in this current landscape? No idea what their NIL situation is but I’m assuming it’s pretty good because it’s Indiana, but they also haven’t been consistently good in a long, long time.
  12. The 8th best team in the SEC could still be a top 15-20 team nationally this year. This conference is loaded. Everyone outside of Missouri has a the talent to compete and potentially do damage in a regional.
  13. Definitely a hot take. Turner scored double figures once in his last 10 games at Texas and Rick Barnes didn’t even want to play him by the end of the season. Johnson’s legacy will be much better than that.
  14. We’ll see. Our NET and Q1 wins will compare well with the teams we will likely be competing against.
  15. The bubble is looking extremely weak (seems to always be the case since they expanded the field to 68). My guess is 7-11 gets us a trip to Dayton.
  16. Beyond moronic to play Kent and Onyema together. Sparked this mini-run.
  17. Shedrick has played so much harder and tougher the last 2-3 weeks. Been a welcome sight.
  18. Good adjustment on Carey the last 7-8 minutes after he was Dennis Rodman the first 12 minutes.
  19. Nic Codie shouldn’t be having to play in these type of games
  20. Did the play by play really say Vanderbilt would storm the court if they won this game? There is no way I heard that correctly.
  21. IT We’re about to throw you for a loop on the DB search. In checking with my guy in the Florida market, IT does not believe Will Harris will be the new DB coach. In addition, it sounds like Doug Belk is content at USC, per someone in that market. And it’s not going to be Jimmy Lake, that never really made sense. When we ask around we’re not even sure this is a search for a safeties coach. It could very well be that Texas will simply hire the best DB coach it can find. The Horns have that ability due to Terry Joseph’s prior experience coaching the position. Before Texas, he was best known for coaching safeties at Notre Dame where he recruited and coached Kyle Hamilton. When he was hired at Texas, many had hoped he would be the safeties coach rather than corners. If Texas does go that route, beats the heck out of me who they’re targeting. Demetrice Martin at UCLA? That’s a pure guess based on his track record for recruiting out west and working with Sark at Washington way back when.
  22. Gerry said earlier this week that it would be another week or two
  23. I don’t think Scottie Scheffler is ready for an AD job quite yet
  24. IT We know Will Harris from Florida is in the mix. I just had my original suspicions (or educated guess) confirmed and hear Doug Belk is also in the running. Belk is at USC. These appear to be the top two but there could be somebody else I’m unaware of. I did have someone say they heard Jimmy Lake’s name but I just can’t buy that. Harris and Belk make a lot of sense. Either would be great. Harris being a SoCal guy is viewed as a positive.
  25. He'll be the main guy with Craig on the radio
