One article predicted 4.25 - 4.28 range ... guess we'll see

Speaking of Hill… a fun exchange with Chris Simms

If he didn't win a National Championship at a basketball power school like Arizona then why do you think he will win one at Texas? At Arizona things were teed up for him to compete but he didn't even make it to a Final Four. Arizona had shoe $ NIL before NIL was legal and consistent Top 10 recruiting classes. (Miller was caught on an FBI wiretap discussing a $75,000 payment to the # 1 ranked recruit, who went to Zona and was the # 1 pick in the NBA draft.) The previous head coach had won a Natty and made four Final Fours in 24 years - Miller didn't make it to a FF in 12 years. Looks like his successor could be on track to make it this season, they were ranked # 1 much of the year. Most would consider Miller a very good coach but he hasn't yet shown he's elite. I checked Miller's NCAA tourney record while he was at Zona. Call it 11 years since covid meant no tourney in 2020 - they made the NCAAs seven times (Lute Olson went 23 times in a row). Twice under Miller they outplayed their seeding - in 2011, his second year in Tucson they were seeded 5th but made it to the Elite 8, beating # 4 Texas and # 1 Duke. These were his only two wins against teams seeded higher. And in 2013 they were seeded 6 but went to the Sweet 16 by beating the # 11 and # 14 seeds. Another year (2015) they played to seed, seeded # 2 and losing to # 1 seed Wisconsin by 7. No shame in that. Four times they didn't play to their seeded level. In 2014 they lost to # 2 Wisconsin as a # 1 seed in the Elite 8 in OT. No shame there either. But his last three NCAA appearances at Arizona were really disappointing, losing early to # 11 as a 6 seed by 11 points in the Round of 64, losing a close one to # 11 as a # 2 seed in the Sweet 16 and getting blown out 89-68 by the # 13 seed as a # 4 seed. He also had Arizona in the NIT one year as a 1 seed but they lost to 8 seed Bucknell by 11 points. He's a good coach - good teacher and good recruiter - but he still has to prove he can take teams deep in the tournament.

Crying all the way to the bank.

Great time for Ant Hill. That will help no doubt.

4.51 for Ant-Man 🐜 4th fastest after 2 4.47s and a 4.49

I think he has a legit chance.

I can only go off what Gerry says, and after reading his last two post game threads the money isn’t going to be there. So we are headed into a collision. Miller clearly loves it here and that guy hates losing more than he likes winning. If he wants more money and they tell him no, what does he do? I don’t think he came here to just get to the sweet sixteen every now and then.

I don’t think so but then again I don’t remember how fast he was supposed to be but he is fast.

Said fans have no power. What are they going to do? Not show up to games because they don’t like him not winning fast enough? Shaka was here for six years. And three of those were with Strong as the football coach. People wanted him fired after year two. He still coached four more years. Rodney Terry got two years. How is an unhappy small fan base going to force him out after year two? We have no BMDs that I know of that could force that move. He’s already exceeded expectations. Even if he falls off the cliff next year I think they give him more time. We have had two and a half years for RT and one and a half for Beard. I don’t know CDC, and I have zero inside information, but just based off the revolving door from the last two coaches I don’t see him doing anything. I am more worried about Miller leaving than Miller being fired. Will there be a lot of this player sucks next year if it’s bad? Sure, it was there for RT. Man people say players suck in the football threads, and they are winning. I get comparing him to Golden but why stop at getting to the sweet sixteen? Why not use him as a model to win a national championship? He doesn’t have a high NIL either, so why is the bar not set higher for Texas?

Another example of an Aggie finishing behind a longhorn

I know he’s not running today, but do yall think Brenen Thompson breaks worthy’s 40 record?

4.52 on 2nd go. That’s more like it. Great time.

4.52 on second run !!!

I was expecting faster. Still a solid run.

Ant hill 4.59

You are probably right. Regardless I just love hating on JerBear!!

No, just the fan base with unrealistic expectations in a super duper, hyper speed instant gratification mode

Should be coming up in a few minutes dline just finished their drills.

If I’m not mistaken teams only have a limited number of interviews at the combine. Because Ant is from Dallas the Cowboy’s can invite him to Dallas Day for the interview and save the allotted combine interviews for non-local prospects.

Meanwhile Jim is talking about wanting Tinney to be more aggressive!

Thankfully I live in California. Typically, by 9:00 pm, I am out.

When does Hill run?
