  1. I hope he gets upset today. Don't want to face them in the second game.
  2. We've got a very good draw imo. I am used to getting hosed by the selection committee, so this is a pleasant surprise. Of course they had to set up a potential matchup between Barnes and his former school and assistant in the second round.
  3. I just hope we get to play at least two games. My excitement level in tourney usually drops of the cliff after the horns loses.
  4. I don't understand how a Texas fan can deny what Beard did for the program in such a short period and the trajectory he was in. It just bottles my mind! Unfucking believavble!
  5. I hate to quote Fran but he described this syndrom very eloquently during one of our games ( i believe it was the tech game). Big 12 has a number of teams that look like world beaters in 4-5 games and then look awful in other 4-5 games. That's your middle of the pack. How you look during the rest of the games defines you how good or bad you are.
  6. Lol what? He took over a rotten culture left by Shaka Smart. He has a long track of success. He energized the fanbase and made watching Texas basketball fun again. There is a lot to dislike Beard for as a person but what he did for Texas basketball in a very short period time is not one of them.
  7. Granted we have had a mediocre history in this sports, but you can't change that culture if you keep accepting mediocrity. The fanbase was energized by Beard, as we thought we finally had someone who could take us to the promised land. It's deflating for most of us now that we appear to be heading back to mediocrity.
  8. @HookEm Disu is our only player who plays consistently well when he is on the floor and he was not one of RT's recruits. I disagree with the position you are taking that he is a good coach. Our offensive scheme is basically dribble, dribble and jack up 3s. We have no consistent defensive identity. We can get up for some games like an underdog playing Texas does and we look good when our 3s are falling. I don't know how you watch this and say he is a good coach. Sorry, I didn't mean to quote @ChickenSandwich. I agree with you.
  9. Do you not want Texas to be good at Basketball? Why do you want to set the bar low so that your guy can cross it and say it's all good, as he did better than expected.
  10. I must have missed the PR where RT was let go. We have a lot more misery with this hire before it gets better.
  11. 3 pointers are lower percentage shots. The averages will catch up to you. That's why you gotta have an inside game.
  12. It will be a shame if you don't get anything out of sucking up to RT 247. I can't imagine a greater loser if you don't. Your constant 3rd grade level excuse making gets annoying.
  13. As long as you understood him while you were blowing him, it's all good my man. He is gonna need you tonight. Rest up and be at your best.
  14. Seeing hookem2147 making subtle excuses is the best part of this thread.
  15. Our offense is basically dribble, dribble and then jack up a contested 3.
  16. Imagine not having reading comprehension because you're too busy apologizing for the coach. Prove my post wrong - the one I wrote, not what your fellow apologists (we are not pro RT but we like to defend him any chance we get) made up. Lololol Pro-RT crowd is back at peak euphoria after beating OU at home. I get it.
  17. Hey idiot. This is what I originally wrote: "He has been an average coach (except last year) all his career and he once again has an average record (9-9 in conference)." You have moved the goalposts, not me. I said he had an average conference record and he had been an average coach throughout his career. I know winning the internet gets in the way of critical thinking, but Jesus, we have some bonafide rabid idiots. You are not worth my brain cells, so I will put you on ignore. Edit: I am not the type to keep receipts or go back and read people's past posts, but I seem to remember you were so adament about Keyontay George sucking. Every chance you got you told us how terrible he was. Nice call!
  18. I always compare myself with my peer group. By that logic, UT's peer group is the rest of the Big 12. We have an average record against them. This is the most objective metric. Outside of the conference, we have lost to good teams we played and beat terrible teams, which again doesn't make us above average. Tourney will give us another opportunity. Don't be that internet tough guy. I am sure I have you beat in every meteic in life. Feel free to message me privately.
