  1. I saw two wins when conference started. I thought A&M because no fans were there and they never really made any noise until A&M started to pull away in the second half. I also thought Tennessee was the other win. Barnes has a tendency to let Texas stick around. He did exactly that, Texas just couldn’t finish.
  2. I haven’t understood that since I joined the site.
  3. My apologies. Remember you from 247
  4. I am not sitting around I am watching games. You saw Bobby’s post about the football stars turning down more money right? Money didn’t magically appear there, and football is supported.
  5. Did you see my responses about the team quitting? The other day I commented on a remark he said to reporters that sounded awful to me. Which teams are you talking about? In the SEC? Do they have a sustained success over the last three years?
  6. Injured and it could be a while before he comes back.
  7. Not sure who that is. Tre took up most of the NIL. Texas is at four million or four and a half million this year. Texas first targeted Storr from Wisconsin. He was interested but his price was too high, and he wanted to stay in the draft He took two million from Kansas and pulled out of the draft. Tre was at one and a half million. So up his to two million to match Storr. Well that’s four million. You are either out of money, or have five hundred thousand to give to the rest of the team.
  8. Not sure who said that. Getting a good coach certainly is possible. Dealing with the low NIL and lack of fan support and the overall lack of full support of the program will get you tournament appearance and if we are lucky an occasional sweet sixteen appearance. I want more than that. So essentially you get Tom Penders. Any coach worth his salt will want a higher NIL. You can’t win in the SEC consistently without it.
  9. I know, and you are a good poster. Nothing wrong with giving your take. I am frustrated as well.
  10. Always respect your opinion. Please keep sharing your thoughts. All basketball fans should be welcomed.
  11. Did Barnes have sold out arenas during his glory days? No Did he have to get a camera installed to see who wasn’t showing up on the lower level? Yes Did fans travel? No Texas was more involved then versus the one year Beard was here. Barnes had plenty of arena’s rocking and it still wasn’t enough. And his record dwarfs Beards by a thousand miles.
  12. I always believe anything is possible if Texas basketball NIL is based on reality. Right now the Texas one fund is low and football fans are stepping up. Bobby mentioned today that numerous players took less money to stay. That’s a sign of their culture. It’s a shocking statement for basketball fans though. The NIL may be reduced. RT hasn’t had the time to set a firm culture to allow players to take less when others offer more. Throw the portal in which means anyone can leave at anytime and it gets even more difficult.
  13. He does an assessment at the end of the year. Will have to see how they finish and CDC can go off that. No point in making a move if all they are interested in is getting to the tournament and giving football fans some time to waste until football comes around again.
  14. Penders, Barnes, Smart and Beard did not come from a blue blood basketball school. Remember that coach already has his program running well. Not going to drop everything he has already built to come to a football school. He already has his NIL fund where he wants it. Not coming to virtually no fan base and limited NIL. No blue blood basketball coach is coming to a blue blood football school.
  15. This was an “expected loss.” Yeah they can still make the tournament. Which leads to is that enough? That would be three straight tournament appearances in a row. It’s been more than a decade since that happened. In my opinion it’s not enough. However then you have to talk about who they can get. Which leads to the NIL budget for Texas, which further narrows the list. Just not enough BMDs supporting basketball. Also a small fan base. One guy commented that he wasn’t watching but could tell by the score…. that’s another issue. It’s a lukewarm fan base at best. They show up when football is over and complain. They don’t show up for games and don’t travel. Who’s coming to that?
  16. @512Horn tell me your list of coaches and why they come. Remember no basketball blue blood coach has ever come to Texas. So take those out. Give me your list.
  17. I am supporting any team and any coach. Not supporting quitters. Should have pulled all of them at the four minute mark.
  18. lol okay. So you know every fan will not be mad. And how do you know how I will feel?
  19. He needs to pull everybody. Not even trying to play any defense.
  20. He then dribbled and turned the ball over with nobody guarding him. He’s done this multiple times this year.
  21. Every stupid turnover leads to points
