  1. I would like a coach who is a teacher of the game, not just put a roster together and have them play street ball. We never seem to play cohesive ball.
  2. Do we get in if we win 3 more games (UGA, SC and OU) and lose the rest (Bama, Kentucky, Miss St, Arkansas)?
  3. If she was coaching our men's team, we would be over .500 in the league. /no cap
  4. Meanwhile the ladies just beat the gamecocks in a sold out Moody center.
  5. Josh Newman is ztejas?
  6. How so? I am sorry if I offended you if you own an Omega. I love my Aqua Terra but most Omega watches don't hold their value over time. You can buy a brand new omega on the Gray market cheaper than their MSRP, and that's because of oversupply, similar to the oversupply of A&M graduates. With every analogy you can poke holes, but I saw enough similarities in their brand dilution to make the comparison.
  7. I want Llyod. I think he will be a better fit here than the Tech coach.
  8. Nothing against Tudor and I do love some of their watches and am hoping to add the Flemingo Blue to my watch collection. My point comparing Rolex to Tudor was that one is the #1 brand and the other is a micro brand. Tudor knows its place in the luxury watch pecking order unlike some SMU grads who think they belong in the same league as UT. Someone owning a Rolex Pepsi is not going to trade it in for Tudor Black Bay 58 GMT even though Black Bay copied the Rolex GMT design.
  9. I would compare A&M to Omega. They don't understand why their brand is not stronger than Rolex even with all the money they spend on promotion. Perhaps the fact that they keep churning out so many watches every year and anyone can buy their watches have something to do with the brand dilution?
  10. I also think the student and faculty demonstrations related to the war in the middle east took a toll on Jay.
  11. Karen got triggered ... news at 11.
  12. Oh yeah, the talking heads, including Dickie V., were primarily responsible for causing the groundswell that landed RT the job. Luckily for them, there is no accountability, so they can push whatever agenda they might want to push. People yielding to their pressure unfortunately have to live with the consequences.
  13. Situation is fuid. Some posters are keeping an open mind about it.
  14. To be fair to Dicky V, he is a clown and nobody should take him seriously.
  15. You are "remarkably indifferent" to watches, yet you make a long ass post on it. I can tell you have never done a case interview or worked in management consulting. Try to focus on the main point and keep things short. The point is the brand value even if they may look the same to a layman. In this case, even if they are owned by the same parent. If you already own the much better brand, you are not going to downgrade.
  16. Larry flew by like a ballerina!
  17. I don't have a good feeling about close games on the road.
  18. Stupid play by Kaluma.
  19. How the hell did he make that?
  20. This was my thought as well. If they left on good terms, Jay would pick CDC's brain.
  21. No, the brand values are vastly different. Only people wearing the lesser micro brand watches make the argument that they are essentially the same.
  22. Would you trade in your watch on the right for the one on the left? Sure, the brand on the left makes some nice watches too and some of them look eerily similar to the ones from the brand on the right. Do you take the phone call from the dealer when you're wearing the watch on the right?
  23. I am not advocating for a mid season firing but the last time we did that, it worked out quite well. Teams can sometimes play harder for the interim guy to prove a point, I guess. I am also 100% team Tommy Llyod unless CDC has a better guy in mind. I have complete faith in CDC to get the next hire right.
  24. It's a hypothetical argument that no serious person should entertain. Nobody can prove that they discussed the job unless they make it public. Given their past history together, it's not beyond the realm of possibilities that they talk to each other, but it doesn't mean they discussed the job.
