Hope Johntay gets his act together off the field first and foremost and has success on the field at Syracuse.

GULF SHORES, Ala. – In its first-ever NCAA Championships appearance, No. 7 Texas Beach Volleyball took down No. 10 California, 3-2, to advance to Saturday's quarterfinals.

Piggie took belt to ass on us yesterday, But hopefully the boys can get back on track today.

the man who gave me a team to watch as a kid when Texas was going through the dark ages, what a legend

Uggh. We different.

That’s below the Mendoza line…

Of all of the profanities, the S-Word is pretty tame.

Rick Vavro is down there today and sent these pics. Looks like a Chamber of Commerce weekend.

I may have started it, but everybody here is what makes this place great IMO. I mean that, not only for CJ, Gerry, Jeff, Blake, etc., but also the folks who post who are both knowledgeable and civil.

Gotta go with Jammer. To me he is the guy all others are measured by but I would yield to Rod Babers on the answer to this question.

Hopefully he can stay out of the criminal justice system. He should be very humbled to have a third chance.

Any verified long speed numbers?

Former Top Recruit Johntay Cook Commits to ACC School in Transfer Portal - Cook is heading to Syracuse to play for Fran Brown in 2025. (link to Sports Illustrated story) Bit of a surprise. Despite how things ended here I hope he gets his spit together, has a good year and perhaps hits the NFL draft next year. (easier to say that when he's not going to one of our rivals 🙂 )

Mitch Johnson has been named the new HC

At first glance I am also critical of the hire. However, looking around the NBA, I think there are only two really good coaches, Kerr and Spoelstra. All the others seem to make bone headed decisions on rotations, on defenses, or on handling their spoiled rich rosters. So I will withhold judgment, hope he fills out his coaching staff [which was very short handed] with really good assistants, and gets the job done. If he does not, Steve Kerr's contract expires at the end of next season. That might provide a chance to hire the best.

Texas defeated Cal 3-2 and advances to the Quarterfinals. #2 TCU is next 11pm central Saturday on ESPN2.

GOAT - to do what he did in SA...big time. just a force. Hope Becky gets a shot to replace him

One of the most thought provoking NBA coaches. I admire that even more than his coaching ability which was immense.

Last NBA coach to demand defensive intensity? I do not know as I have not watched the WWE NBA for decades.

Yep. Get him on a watch with us. Loved him letting the profanity fly. Let’s go!

Who is better Jammer or Westbrook? Both guys were hit you in the mouth players!

Pop... John Thompson and Nolan Richardson... only guys I ever wanted to play for. A winner.. on and off the court. Legend.

Long past time. He has nothing else to prove. He's one of the all time greats.

Thanks for getting him on. Fun interview. Between him and Diggs, 2 of the best at dbu with two of the most ferocious tackles in UT history.

Indeed.
