I usually take off the first 2 days and watch basketball all day.  Headed out on a Walmart cruise Sunday, so I’m trying to make up for it this week.  I haven’t watched any of it until tonight

We had this discussion the other day.  Is winning the NIT better than one and done in the big dance?   I think so but still tough to get excited about.  Especially with a Longhorn grad coaching anothe

Probably enough to save Shaka’s job, too.  The horns looked better in this tournament than any 5-game stretch I can remember them playing under him.  

The buyout was enough to save Shaka's job. Unless they make a decent run in the adult league tournament next year, he's probably gone. 

Probably costing them their shot at Beard.

There was a particular job that was expected to be open that was to be offered to Shaka.  It is my understanding numbers were already worked out and it was all but done.  At the last minute, that university decided to give its coach at least another year, and that’s when you saw Texas pivot and publicly announce the job would remain Shaka.  Short of Dixon and Cronin passing on the UCLA job (which I doubt) and that being offered to Shaka, he will be back.  As for Beard. I don’t think we would have landed him anyway.  He already makes a little more than Shaka and Texas can’t offer him enough to make him leave what is likely a lifetime gig for him if he wants it.  He leaves Lubbock eventually but it’s going to take $6-8m a year to get him.  And that kind of money only comes from the blue bloods, not “football schools.”

It would be awesome if Shaka could get back to the Havoc and the type of energy that got him this job. Just not so sure he can get these high profile players to buy in to that type of program.

      What the writer stated wrt crossover votes in the primary/runoff: "Covey and his supporters Paxton and Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick said Phelan only won because Democrats crossed over to vote in the Republican Primary for him. Paxton said Covey’s campaign identified “at least” 1,442 Democrats who voted early in Jefferson County in the primary runoff. Texas does not have party registration, but a voter’s primary voting history is public. The Covey campaign has not released its methodology behind its claim, but  This is the hidden content, please Sign In or Sign Up  by The Texan news website found that 9% of Republican voters in the March District 21 primary had voted in one of the previous four Democratic primaries. However, only 5% of that group had voted in all four previous Democratic primaries. What Phelan’s opponents did not mention is historically Democratic Jefferson County is undergoing a political transition towards the Republican party — the county judge switched his affiliation to the GOP in 2017 — so many residents have a mixed primary voting history. And Phelan’s allies in the House dismissed the idea that liberals swung the election. "I knocked on doors, hundreds and hundreds of doors, made calls for Dade,” Republican Rep. Jeff Leach, R-Plano, said on Mark Davis’ radio program Wednesday. “I did not speak to a single Democrat down here in HD21. Not a single one." "

      Will Biden Be The Democratic Nominee For President?

      He's with it enough to do what he's told, beginning day 1 when he signed the order to revoke the Keystone Pipeline project.  But more recently, he's protecting the DOJ, as well as himself ...  This is the hidden content, please Sign In or Sign Up

      Most 75-80 year Olds have some type of cognitive impairment. If you are asking if Biden has dementia then my answer is no. That is a Republican talking point. If you all think he has dementia what type do you think he has?
