Please elaborate 

Watch No Country for Old Men. Watch Tre Johnson. Read talk about Johnson being some kind of world beater. After that, read Blood Meridian.

I'm not proud of the fact that I didn't watch the game, but it got to the point this season that I just couldn't stand it.

I've never been like this before... I've always been there through thick and thin to sing The Eyes at the end of every game of every sport.

But this year I've tuned out of a couple of games before halftime and then I just didn't watch at all. Maybe it's because Texas has been playing well in the other sports and our outlook is optimistic outside of men's basketball. I even joked with a Longhorn friend that I would take Rick Barnes back on The Forty... and then Tennessee lost a key game near the end of their season just before the tournament. Felt familiar for Ole' Rick.

Best wishes for CDC because managing this is gonna be a challenge.

I missed the Mississippi State game to go to dinner with friends. Never done that before. I went to watch the boys state finals yesterday, because I thought this would happen.

To be more specific: Johnson is Moss; Chigurh is the NBA; RT is Ed Tom Bell; Longhorn homer is Carla Jean.

Surprised some NBA team doesn’t have you in the scouting department with this type of insight.

Johnson is going pro, but he shouldn't. He's no where near ready, but he also didn't get much development from this Texas staff. They never cared that his defense was horrible with an obvious lack of effort, nor did they care about all the horrible shots he would take. 0fer in your last home game, which also likely sealed your post-season fate is certainly one way to go out.

Tre Johnson deserved better.

Maybe he could have given at least 1 .... on defense every now and again and not thrown the ball away in clutch situations.

True, but not interested in rolling balls for a living.

Read the book and watched the movie. A bit of a reach, but ok. Thanks for elaborating.

That's good stuff. What do you think about Tobin and Gerry?

One of my favorite Texas basketball traditions is when we try to say a guy who is a first round needs to come back to school. Happens with every one and done we’ve ever had.

I’m sure there were people back in the day who said KD needed a sophomore season to “work on his strength!” or something stupid.

Johnson ain't KD. Devastation is truth, but it's not an NBA career.

And he’ll get it next season playing on a crappy NBA team while averaging double figures.

Some of y’all tripping. Go coach basketball instead of complaining from the couch pretending that you know it all.
