Get back to CDC on Beard vs. Terry.

I find it hard to believe that Texas would chince out over two million? Two mil is chicken feed to them.

What's Oats making now? What would Bama pay to keep him?

The problem isn't "financial commitment." The problem is that Texas has had really good basketball coaches that they fired for BS reasons. Get Elon Musk to donate $100 mil and it won't change the fact they screw up.

We're not getting Nate Oats.

Need to pass this along to the self-appointed basketball experts here.

The thing I'll go out on here isn't that Texas isn't "supporting" men's basketball enough, but rather that CDC doesn't know basketball. Maybe it wasn't his decision to fire Beard. Maybe he was pushed into hiring Terry. Doesn't matter in the end. Two big mistakes.

We're dealing with big time homers here.

What is "full backing" in this instance? Lacking the top NIL budget in the game doesn't equate to not having proper support. One can quibble about vocabulary to describe offense, but all one needs to do is watch Texas on offense, watch higher level teams, and then one sees the difference clearly. Talent isn't the biggest issue.

True. Just don't believe that Texas isn't competitive in NIL or resources for basketball. Plenty of schools without anything close to Texas resources that are better.

In case you guys haven't noticed, Lakers can't win a game with fat boy Luka.

It was impromptu. Those were the songs they both knew and agreed to sing together. Only instrument was an acoustic guitar played by Isaak. Isaak tried to get White sing Abba's Dancing Queen, She said she knew it, but didn't think she could sing it well.

I saw them do Suspicious Minds, Wicked Game, Secret Rendezvous, Amazing Grace, Power of Love and Possession in a bar in Taos, New Mexico on Friday night, 13 March 1998.

Karyn White and Chris Isaak.

Be surprised if Quinn doesn't look the best just throwing the ball.

Reputation is obviously working in KU's favor, but they're not just consistently losing, they're consistently losing big. Sooner or later that has to catch up with them.

Haven't watched Kansas any this year. What's going on?

NBA has sucked for at least fifteen years. True, it's all offense now because of NBA rules and refs, but the college game isn't called the same. Need a guy who can recruit and motivate a bunch of prima donnas to move the ball and their bodies on offense rather than standing for threes and picks while also hustling on defense.

It's basketball, not football. More games, more variation. I wish the Longhorns were better, but they aren't.

The Longhorns are a bubble team and A&M is sitting at a two seed. There's a reason for that.

A&M's men's basketball team is much better than the Horns. Apparel deals don't change that.

That seems about right to me. I'd probably change the order of the bottom four: 7 Missouri 8 Florida 9 South Carolina 10 A&M

Where do these numbers come from?

I'm interested in this NIL talk that keeps popping up here. Are the people saying this relatives of players who think they aren't getting enough? Texas obviously spent well in the portal this past offseason.

The Quinn revisionist stance by many Texas fans is somewhat baffling. Quinn can make every throw. As Gerry always says, Sark doesn't take a QB that can't make all the throws. Quinn's inconsistency on longer throws comes from his inconsistent mechanics and footwork. Dropping the ball below chest level, not keeping his feet ready for all throws, trying to rely solely on his arm talent, etc. He could get away with that on short to intermediate throws, although he would sometimes sling the ball rather than driving it on those throws too, which led to some of his interceptions. At the beginning of seasons, his mechanics and footwork were better. As the season went along and he got dinged up, his fundamentals would slide. Scouts and GMs must decide if they think they can straighten out those things. If they think they can, then Quinn is as good or better than QB in this draft. Problem is, he hasn't done it yet. He is only 21, however.
