Texas Basketball 2025-26: It’s Miller Time
Agree. He needs a year. I just know that Beard immediately showed a massive impact.

Texas Basketball 2025-26: It’s Miller Time
I’m not saying at all that the mistake was not getting Oats to leave Alabama. Let me try again to restate the point. My point was that Alabama, a school similar to Texas (not a top destination job and more of a football school), managed to find a great coach and keep him. They found him in obscure Buffalo. That was very impressive coach scouting. Meanwhile, Texas took a guy who on paper has some real questions. If Miller kicks ass, then great. All this worrying will have been for nothing. And when Alabama took Oats I’m sure there were tons of questions about his hire. But it turned out to be a very good hire. And he was a pretty unknown entity. Miller is a pretty well known entity, and if history holds he won’t be as successful as Texas or its fans would expect or want. That’s what I find frustrating. It’s a little bit like OU finding Stoops from the DC ranks and Riley from the OC ranks and then beating Texas fairly regularly. Those guys weren’t the big names when they were hired but the OU powers knew enough about football to make sure they got the true up and coming coaches. Of course Riley has plateaued and may flame out, but at OU he caused a lot of issues for Texas.

I would agree with that 100%. Hence my question to Aces. Just because the Texas job was according to him, “over-rated”, which might be true, he missed the whole point of my post, which was that another school that has the same challenges as Texas (Alabama), still managed to hire what appears to be so far an outstanding coach. If Miller succeeds, then this message board fodder will have been pointless, but many, myself included, are all speculating about the quality of Miller.

Everything is Shit: Tracking the Great Enshittening
So many of the products and services today are becoming enshitified, it’s actually a pleasant surprise when you are a customer of products that aren’t enshitified. I thought about that when I renewed my AllTrails subscription. So far, still an awesome product.

Ok, but do you believe Alabama was a better basketball job than Texas?

Texas Basketball 2025-26: It’s Miller Time
I think what was most frustrating about the Miller hire is Oats. Alabama had a shit basketball program and somehow not only found him, but have kept him (so far). I just don’t buy the argument that Miller was the best Texas could expect given the state of the program. But maybe the administration really believes Miller can win big. We’ve got a ways to go before we find out.

2026 LB Rocky Cummings
There is clearly a new idea on the 40 acres about how recruiting should be done. I’m not sure where these new insights are going to take the program, but it will at least be entertaining to see if all these guys succeed or fail at Texas. I’m very skeptical.

That’s no way to win the contest!- 2025 Texas Volleyball - Locked and Reloaded
When Texas went up 2-0 I turned to my wife and said Kentucky would win it in 5. I don’t however think Texas would choke it away. I just figured Kentucky was just going to play better the last 3. I guess for the most part they did. They staved off a lot of match points.- what is Dripping Springs like these days?
Is there a resource that addresses this? I was wondering about that, and whether wells will go dry. I’ve heard that about the area northwest of Austin too.- what is Dripping Springs like these days?
I was just there this weekend. I love the area. The price of land is very expensive in that area. Great place to live but still be close to Austin.- This is who Steve Sarkisian is.
I love how certain people these days try to claim that they are being treated unfairly for having a different opinion, when in reality they are grossly uneducated and spouting nonsense like the rubes they are, too stupid to even recognize their own stupidity. These people are an epidemic these days as we watch disinformation expose them all. I’m sure this rube has been fooled by many many other things as well.- Black Friday Deals

What a stupid comment.- Best cast in any film all-time
Yes, you are correct. It is best cast. I guess I don’t like the OP’s thread, because it could imply just throwing a bunch of money at a bunch of big name actors. This thread insists upon itself.- The 2nd Most Important Position Behind QB Is…
I don’t like this data point because it’s credible and undermines my thesis. Seriously, the reason I’ve made this proclamation is because neither college or nfl teams believe that DT is that important, but I think they are potentially wrong, for the reasons I stated above. However there is a good argument for LT being more important, for sure.- 2026 RB Jett Walker
On a more serious note, RB is a position where you can actually tell from the stands whether the player has the potential to be a top college or nfl back. I’ve never seen Walker play live. I saw Burkhead back in the day and immediately knew he’d be a very good college back and possibly an nfl back. If anyone has seen him play live, I’d be interested to hear what they thought.- Welcome to Costco .....
Can’t you just do what the rest of us do? Go buy way more meat than we need at a price we think is a great deal but actually is not, once you take into account how much had to be thrown away due to freezer burn? This is the American way!- Texas Recruiting Notes 2026: Boulevard of Broken Bagmen
