    Need to go find it but defiantly read from either Texas Tribune or some other reputable source that the power brokers in Austin were going dangle the carrot of extra school funding to districts who added religious/biblical curriculum...which sounds about right for the current lot running the state and their christio-fascist big money donors in West Texas 

    North, West and East Texas school districts will be all over that.

    The Democrats can basically sit back and watch for the next year and then campaign on every single fuck up by the GOP - assuming we still have elections.

    Yeah, I think it’s cute some people think we will. 
    If we do, they will be so manipulated by disinformation they are essentially rigged.

    Watch the Mack interview with Bobby on OTF. He and Sally are moving back to Austin and he's going to be a part of whatever Sark wants him to be a part of with this program going forward. 

    Or so he says. Said at this point in his life he's the same age DKR was in 1998 when Mack arrived and he wants to give back like DKR did to him. 

    Mack's a politician though, so we shall see. 

    He’s so pathetic and needy.

    There are quite a few UT basketball fans who genuinely believe Texas has everything we need to be a major power in college basketball. We could be an extended version of the Barnes years up until 2009. We could be what Oats is building now at Alabama (which is one of the reasons he’s not leaving).

    The day I woke up and saw the ESPN notification about Beard, I was fucking crushed because I knew he was the one to turn this thing into a monster for a long time. That’s not to say there aren’t others who could, but Beard got it and got UT. 

    I felt the way I felt when Colt went down. People at work legitimately asked if someone died I was so bummed. 

     Yes, that’s what is so dispiriting about where we are now. We gave up a ton of momentum and alignment that Beard’s hiring had generated.

    This being year three.

    If we miss the tournament, I don't think he's here next season.

    It’s actually only year two of his five year contract signed after the final 8 year.

    I'm a decade younger than CDC and could easily retire if I wanted to. But I'd be bored and I like making money.

    You said "Decisions made out of fear are rarely good ones" (among other things), which I could only assume was pointed at CDC's decision to hire Rodney Terry due to the optics of making a different decision. Go ahead and tell me what I got wrong there and then I'll give some thought to fucking off. 

    I guess you didn’t read the sentence before I told you to fuck off.

    Spoken like someone that has zero appreciation for how much relationships matter in this sport. And they matter in all sports, but I'd argue that they matter more in basketball than any other revenue generating sport.

    i mean look at every other decision that CDC has made in his time here. He generally doesn't fuck up. So maybe a different way to think about this situation is to trust that he actually did make the best decision possible under super shitty circumstances.

    Or just sit back in your lazy boy and criticize a guy that has done well enough to ascend to one of the best AD roles in the whole country. I'm sure your professional accomplishments are just as impressive. 

    Well, I’m younger than him and retired so at least that I’ve got that going for me.  What about you?
    Since you are so fucking smart, show me where I criticized CDC for making the Terry hire?  You won’t find it. The reason you won’t is because it wasn’t his fucking decision. 
    Fuck off.

    A bit more than just political optics if you just stopped and gave an ounce of thought to it. What do you think the schools we recruit against might have said about UT in a world where CDC ran off Terry after that tournament run?

    That’s weak ass bullshit. They do that anyway. Decisions made out of fear are rarely good ones.

    I'm well aware of where I'm posting. Y'all can pile on as you wish. Rogan is a fantastic interviewer (for starters) and I thought it was an interesting listen. Blagojevich came across pretty slimy but if you're attempting to understand such a broken system I think it's important to view it from every angle. 

    No, Rogan is a meathead whose target audience is other meatheads. Yes, I realize he has a huge listening audience and I stand by what I said.

    Loreal coming back in the picture fucked up his thinking, Lol.

    Seriously, we need an experienced play caller to assist Sark from the booth. I don’t think Milwee can cut it.

    Can’t help but be distracted by how much money she seemingly spends.

    I did a similar post last year before conference play. Path to 9 conference wins:

    Must win 3 of 4 against the bottom of the league (3)- Missouri, at South Carolina, at LSU, at Vandy

    Need to go 4-3 against the homes and homes we have + Georgia (4): OU x2, Arkansas x2, A&M x2, Georgia

    Split the road games at Mississippi  schools (1)- at Miss State, at Ole Miss

    Pray we get hot from 3 and steal one as a big underdog (1)- Auburn, Tennessee, at Florida, Bama, Kentucky 

    That’s a pretty narrow needle to thread.

    Random Question - Does anyone know where/how to watch the Peach Bowl in Bogota, Colombia?  I am in Colombia with the family and it appears that the ESPN App blocks me from watching anything here and most of the locals have not even heard of college football, so I doubt it will be showing many places.
