  1. Y'all act like Smart gave Jones leukemia or something. Y'all need to see the bigger picture here. There's room for argument that if Jones never got leukemia and a few other injuries never happened that Smart would have made the tournament each season he was here. Life happens. Smart has handled all of the curve balls with an admirable amount of class.

  2. Sure you play to win. But building a program takes time. Reactionary Shaggy is the worst. What we did to Mack Brown was criminal and we're still paying for it on a karma level, same with Barnes. We'll see what Shaka does the next couple of years. That's a bigger sample size. Look at Butler's tenure at Baylor. It took TIME to build that program. If y'all were Tech fans, you'd already be asking for Beard's resignation, and even he took some time to turn around the program. 

     

    I like Shaka. I like the culture he has created at UT. I'm willing to give him a long leash.

    Yep.    Last night Smart should have gone bat shit crazy more than once with the refs.  Would it have worked?   Probably not.     It seemed like the ESPN commentators were waiting for Smart to snap because they could even see the slant in the obvious stat which was our lack of attempts at the free throw line until way late into the second half.

    I think Smart is mindful of paying his dues, which is why I have so much respect for him. Y'all seem quick to pull the plug on him, but keep in mind that EVERY team in the NCAA has a very high opinion of Smart. I wish we could have a fanbase that was classy and could occasionally just be really proud of having a great group of young men that do not cause a lot of drama.

    It’s been that way the entire season. 
     

    we haven’t had the same refs in every game this season.

     

    but you know what we have had the same of this entire season? OUR OFFENSE.

    It hasn't been as extreme as what we saw tonight. This game was high stakes for both programs and the Big 12 refs did EVERYthing they could to make OU walk away winners. Now Texas is in the dance and OU is out. The ONLY way Texas won this game was because the BALL DON'T LIE.  Look at the Tech game, FTs were closer to even. This game stunk of a rig. Even when the TV timeouts were called. If Texas survives a rig in Norman, Shaka is charmed and we need to ride him out.

    First thing's first. Ditch the Big 12. I don't feel connected to any rivalries anymore because the refs have absolutely ruined the conference--or the conference has used the refs to ruin themselves.
