The bourgeoise is prevalent but not as numerous on the Baylor, TCU or SMU campuses as you think. A lot of kids are offered partial academic scholarships and then get sold a bill of goods on how much of a better academic experience that they're going to get based on being in Waco, Fort Worth or Dallas than at a big state school. If you have a major like pre-law or engineering then you probably break even if your financial award offsets a significant portion of the cost of private school tuition ($51,750) vs. UT/Aggy ($13,500) within a decade, but if you're an education or communications major you're going to be making those student loan payments into your 70s.- Texas Basketball 2023-24
"Top 15 expectations" not met as team is No. 27 NET/No. 23 BPI with two regular-season games to play. In ither words, bitch and moan that your picnic was flooded out when the reality is you expected the temperature to be 78 and it's only 71 with occasional wind gusts.- Texas Basketball 2023-24
Not the impression I got and I was at that game. Fans I sat with were excited about the win -- mainly because Noah Farrakhan was finally eligible -- but it didn't mean more or less than any other Big 12 game. They'd also pretty much resigned themselves to a down year in the wake of Huggins' situation developing so late. Also, Kaden Shedrick's absence -- he played four minutes -- was everything in that game. They consistently worked the ball around the perimeter for 25 seconds and then drove into the paint. There was just no presence there to stop it.- Texas Women’s Basketball 2023-2024: Handing out ass whoopins and lollipops, and we’re all out of lollipops
Why does the NCAA claim that the NET rankings matter so much if this is their most recent release? With only 18 days remaining before Selection Sunday, the NCAA Division I Women’s Basketball Committee tabbed South Carolina, Ohio State, Stanford and UCLA as the No. 1 seeds in the latest top-16 reveal. If the season ended today, Virginia Tech, Texas, Iowa and Southern California would be the No. 2 seeds. Other than the obvious (South Carolina at No. 1) and Stanford (fourth), they've given No. 1s to UCLA (sixth) and Ohio State (seventh). Among the 2s, USC is 12th and Virginia Tech is 14th.- Texas Women’s Basketball 2023-2024: Handing out ass whoopins and lollipops, and we’re all out of lollipops
Speaking of awful hires, one has to think Krista Gerlich's time at Texas Tech will end around 7:35 p.m. Thursday.- Texas Women’s Basketball 2023-2024: Handing out ass whoopins and lollipops, and we’re all out of lollipops

LOL... Tech still sore from us going no lube in Lubbock on Tuesday -- down 18-4 in Morgantown.- Texas vs Okie State- 1pm on ESPN2
It's not as ridiculous as it seems with nine Big 12 teams in and Texas Tech in freefall. Several bracketology sites have the Red Raiders at a No. 7 seed, which they're clearly not going to hold. But when you factor in the challenge of avoiding Round of 32 conference matchups, it opens the door for a seed that's four or five places higher than our NET.- Texas vs Okie State- 1pm on ESPN2

Nobody's arguing we have Adolph Rupp. Yet 40-18 -- isn't that -- (checks math) .689? Oh, sure... you want to label him a failure because he took on situations in schools (Fresno State, UTEP) not called Kentucky, North Carolina or UCLA. But then again, Rick Barnes going 402-180 here (,691) with one losing season in 16 years was inadequate.- Rodney Terry has been fired

I've been doing some research to track down missing data from the UT basketball media guide/official records and discovered this eight-game trip to El Paso from 1923-24. I couldn't help but think of many of you "demanding a consistent level of play" when these were the results. A century later, and college kids are still college kids, and wins and losses can't be preordained by a coach's skill set. Seven wins in eight games away from home but you guys would have been bitching that ol' Doc Stewart isn't the guy to lead this program. I mean, how else can a team that beats someone 39-12 on Christmas Eve come back on the first day of Kwanzaa with a pathetic 15-point offensive output in a five-point loss???

We are 24 in the BPI right now -- If we get a 7 through 10 seed, you're almost certainly correct. 0-2 (including OT loss) to Houston 0-1 neutral site vs. UConn 0-1 at Marquette (assuming Shaka doesn't play Northern Iowa or Abilene Christian in the Round of 64) But if we work out way up above that, then the Second Round opponents would include a field of teams like the current three seeds in ESPN's bracketology: Iowa State, Alabama, Duke and Creighton. Then you're a strong shooting night from Abmas or Disu or a solid defensive night by Shadrick away from pulling an upset. A lot depends on how things go in Waco on Monday. That game is huge.- Rodney Terry has been fired
I'd believe "anything" would be much more likely should we win out in the regular season, not lose until we play Houston or Iowa State in Kansas City, and draw a six seed. Anything below that will likely put us as a 7 or 8 seed, and playing a 2 seed on the first weekend is a tall order.
