OTF Premium What Sean Miller said about Texas scheduling non-con game vs. Baylor

The Longhorns will square off with Baylor on Nov. 15 at the Frost Bank Center in San Antonio. 

Here's what Miller said about scheduling the Bears: 

“We have an immense amount of respect for Baylor as a basketball program and Scott Drew as a head coach,” Texas head coach Sean Miller said. “Coach Drew is one of the best to ever do it, and the success of Baylor’s program over the last 20 years speaks for itself. We wanted to play a high-quality opponent knowing that we’re going to challenge our team to the highest level, and Baylor does that. The fact that they are also from our state is icing on the cake.”

“The second part of our trip to San Antonio is so much of how we think as a basketball program starts with the state of Texas in mind,” Miller continued. “This allows us to tap into our San Antonio fan base, and in particular our great relationship with the San Antonio Spurs. The Spurs come to Moody Center and play, and now we can reciprocate and go to where they call their home court. It’s great for our players, our team and to a large extent, it’s great for the continued relationship and development of that between The University of Texas and the San Antonio Spurs. Combining all those elements, playing in an NBA arena is always something that means a lot to our team and to our players because it’s where they one day want to be.”

“Lastly, we don’t have a crystal ball and it’s not easy to make the NCAA Tournament, but if we are able to make the NCAA Tournament this year, there are a lot of different sites that you could go to,” Miller said. “If you are fortunate enough to advance, taking nothing for granted as you have to make it and advance, along that route one of those possibilities is San Antonio and Frost Bank Center. That is not our reason for playing this game, but there is a chance that could happen, and the fact that we could already have played there one time is again, icing on the cake.”

I’m against playing that cesspool in anything. If it must be beat them until they beg to stop and don’t stop.

There may be no worse university in America. Rape, murder, murdered pets.  The absolute most disgusting place. Baylor and their fans are trash.

I was thinking the same thing about the Sweet 16/Elite 8 being in San Antonio this year, but I’m surprised Miller actually referenced that. It’s a good goal for the season to be there again in March.
