  1. But if THIS YEAR he's a seven seed in the tournament and finishes tied for fourth in a conference that's better than the SEC he's going to have to prove his value to you in 2024-25, huh?
  2. Yeah... Krzyzewski stealing credit from Laettner and Grant Hill for what they did has always pissed me off. Ditto for Phil Jackson claiming he led the Bulls to a three-peat.
  3. Assuming we can't get Steve Kerr or Joe Mazzulla, right?
  4. Not seeing the thread you referenced, but Texas is up 11-5 early at Oklahoma on Big 12+/ESPN/Good Luck Finding It Network. Longhorns need a win here and vs. BYU on Saturday to take the No. 1 seed into Kansas City,
  5. Actually, Texas has five double-digit losses this season, four of which are to teams in the Top 13 BPI -- @Houston, @Kansas, vs. Marquette, home to Iowa State -- and home to Texas Tech. None of which changes the fact that we have a No. 24 BPI rating and three winnable games down the stretch -- vs. Oklahoma State, @ Baylor and vs. Oklahoma. And I imagine we'll go 1-1 in Kansas City, losing by double digits to Houston or Iowa State, and 1-1 in the NCAA Tournament, losing by double digits to UConn or Purdue. So does a 21-10 (10-8) or 20-11 (9-9) Big 12 record and 23-12/22-13 overall record warrant 21 pages of discussion on firing a coach in his second season after being thrown into a dumpster fire and reaching the Elite Eight a year ago? Only in Austin, man. Only in Austin.
  6. No, I think going 22-8 and taking Texas to the Elite Eight (with one of our four best players sitting on the bench due to injury) and following up with an 18-10 start (No. 24 BPI) to this point means it's absurd to be talking about firing the guy. Texas has lost by 20+ to three teams -- all road games at Top 10 opponents. You can even throw in a 15-point loss at home vs. Iowa State. None of that suggests a 20-point loss to an unranked team, albeit one that is still a lock for the NCAA Tournament. And I'm not going to bother "come getting you" because you've chosen to be miserable. You and others are so invested in Terry's failure that you were probably ready to throw (ironically) beer cans and water bottles at the TV when the Horns were up 30.
  7. Pop Isaacs 5 for 18 from the floor -- 1 for 15 in the bedroom.
  8. $9.95 Don't fret. As soon as we lose by 15 to Houston in Kansas City and get knocked out by UConn or Purdue the weekend after the bitchfest will resume.
  9. I want my daughter to have Chendall Weaver's babies -- provided we can first figure out what species he is.
  10. They threw shit at Brock -- that's gotta be a second one.
  11. Techtarded to the end... .Absolutely love that we're riding off into the sunset with a 56-7 football ass-kicking and whatever the result of this ends up being. Holding the Hook 'em high as we ride off into the sunset.
  12. Healthy Kadin looking great tonight on defense. Winning two of three -- vs. Oklahoma State, @ Baylor and vs. Oklahoma -- gets us to 20. Time to get Moody absolutely on fire for Saturday's twinbill with the women wrapping up the season vs. BYU and to punch our NCAA Tournament ticket with a home win over OU.
  13. And to think... They literally started camping out Thursday night for this.
  14. Doesn't help our Big 12 Tournament seeding for them to win.
  15. Just keep shooting.... just keep shooting... just keep shooting....
  16. This... if people here are complaining about the status of Texas basketball on Feb. 27, 2024 with Rodney Terry as coach, imagine what it'd be had we not hired the Black coach who took over the train wreck Chris Beard created with his stupidity and took us to the Elite Eight. No matter who was hired, he'd be fortunate to ever get a Black Top 100 prospect to ever pick up the phone -- and the reverberations would have been felt in football, baseball and elsewhere.
  17. Coach K, Dean Smith, Jay Wright, Billy Donovan, Mark Few... the list of coaches not coming to Texas under any circumstances just grows and grows and grows on these "Fire the current coach" threads.
  18. The same geniuses demanding Terry's ouster here were on previous boards demanding both be fired; Shaka certainly didn't do anything to justify staying but pushing Barnes out was just plain stupid. (Cue the baseless "both Texas and Barnes needed a change" platitude.)
  19. Since when is a No. 27 ranking in RPI mediocrity? You guys are bound and determined to put a toe tag on this team and send Rodney Terry to the unemployment line when we're not even to March yet. It's borderline sociopathic.
