  • I'm shocked and confused that all of these transfers want to come play for Beard and not the true mastermind behind all of his success, Mark Adams.

  • Beard gets that it's a whole campus thing.

I’ve lost faith in Beard.  He decided that taking a bunch of black guys swimming in an open body of water was a good idea.  I’m out.

Oooh, I like that, since this year is when the CFP semifinals are on December 31 instead of January 1.

Just got two in section 23 fifteen minutes ago.

Also, what's the parking situation like for the FEC?  There wasn't any option for purchasing a season parking pass.

It's all jacked up now with all the construction there.  I think that one garage behind the School of Nursing is still tied to LHF.  And there's the two surface lots to the north and south.  I'm guessing the one across 35 by baseball will now probably handle the bulk of parking until Moody is ready.  

I have a really good parking pass for Erwin Center if you want to swap 1 or 2 games for use of it the rest of the season.

Beard doesn't lose he just runs out of time. I guess we'll have to quit making fun of aggy saying that.

Vince Lombardi also said that, or at least Jerry Kramer wrote it in some of his books.

Watch us mess around and win the NC. That would be so on brand for sports this year. 

I went ahead and put money on it when we were on our transfer shopping spree during the spring. I think I had 15-1 odds at the time.

In what is almost guaranteed to be a Top 5 matchup between Texas and Gonzaga in the very first week of the hoops season, the gametime is set for primetime:

Texas @ Gonzaga, 7:30-9:30p (PST)/9:30-11:30p (CST) on ESPN2---Saturday, 13 November.

Expect the Longhorn Network to go ahead and select some time in the next week Third Tier Rights for the Kansas football game and I'm guessing either put it on early in the day (which would make 4 of our 6 home games at 11:00am).  Or maybe try to make it a double-header of sorts.  Give people 60-90 minutes to get out of the stadium and somewhere to watch the game...so have it end around 8:00p, start at 4:30p.  Or 5:00p maybe?  Have it just completely off-set from all the other usual broadcast windows.  

Anyway, that's gonna be a fun Saturday, prepare thine livers.  Beat two perennial basketball powerhouses, one on the field, one on the court.  You've seen what these guns can do in the desert, now let's see what they do in the ring...I WANT HOLYFIELD!  /farleystorminnorman

The talent is there, if the team gels there is no reason why they can't make a deep tourney run.

Texas and Zaga will be the biggest non-conference match up of the year. I can't wait for that game, it's going to give us a perfect picture of where the basketball program stands and if Beard can pull it off Texas could head into conference play ranked #1. I haven't been so hyped for a season to begin since the 2007 season where the team was young, but extremely talented.

Yeah, I'm nervous as hell about it.  I think we match up fantastically on paper.  But the team will be so new together, that's my hangup as we've exhausted on here.  I respect Beard for scheduling it, but it's such an early game---we just won't any experience together except an exhibition game open to the public and then a regular season opener just days before with Houston Baptist.  But most experts seeing us as about even on paper, but I'm sure primetime Saturday night in their 'Dog House' will be intimidating.

Doing a quick and dirty sampling of a half dozen pre-season rankings sites from legit sources...should be #3 Texas @ #1 Gonzaga.  For a game in the first half of November, that's absolutely incredible.

1)I don't think you'll find too many who agree with that. Gonzaga and UCLA play 10 days after our game with the Zags, and after those two teams played the game of the year last year, that's probably the game that the most neutrals are looking forward to/the biggest matchup. 

 

2)we're not going to get the "perfect picture" of what Beard in this team can do in early November. win or lose, we can't read too much into that game. we've seen Beard teams struggle early and then contend for a title, and we've seen Texas in recent years make early season "statements" against teams like Duke, Gonzaga, and UNC, only for those teams to ultimately be mediocre. it's going to take time for this team to jell on the court reach their peak. this team more than most with so many new faces. 

Late to the season ticket party, but I picked up a pair in Section 46 this morning! There are still some decent lower bowl seats left.

We won’t hit our stride until we get into 2022, going to take a while to gel and get used to Beard’s style

Yeah, that's a big miss there. 

Radio Interview this AM on 104.9

The segment will be posted later, third hour about half way through.

He’s an interesting interview, to say the least. Some points:

- Talked about Coach Black and Coach Penders, latter will go into the Hall of Honor this weekend. Said that Travis Mays texted asking where he should park, replied that an all-time great guard here should park “in my spot”, a lot of letterman are expected.

- In response to a question from Hogan about if/how he coaches on finishing games, replied that they go over final four minute scenarios regularly, elaborated point later by explaining the TV Timeout rule requires a break on first dead ball after four minutes have passed since previous t/o. Said they coach the players to play hard for four and they practice that way.

- In that vein, said that there will normally be 10 breaks in a game and they coach the point of winning the first possession after each timeout. Said something like “If you win those 10 in the B12 you’ll probably win the game.”

- Questioned about pre-season awards, said they understand the interest but don’t give much importance to them. Used Courtney Ramey as an example, said he’ll play at All B12 level and will end up in the NBA, yet no mentions yet. Said post-season are the ones they value.

Good summary.  Good teams win the first 4 and last 4 minutes of each half.  Start strong, finish strong.  

csb/ Had Brock Cunningham in the second section of my McCombs class yesterday (it's an elective open to non-business majors).  Although it's a MW class, it's for 75 minutes-12:30 to 1:45p.  We're all on zoom for this one so he's among the first to login so he's on my first page of video feeds (about half the kids have video off)...I usually call on a half dozen or so, human nature you call on people who's faces you can see.  I tell class I'm hang out online until 2:00p if they have more questions.  So my last question goes to Brock at about 1:43p.  I didn't realize he was zooming in from the Cooley pavilion and that practice apparently starts at 2:00 with shoot-around beforehand.

So he stands up and he's in warm-ups, while he's answering the question (correctly I might add), holding his phone with one hand, rips off his warm-ups.  starts running down the hall into the gym, finishes his answer, sets his shit down and you can hear somebody throw him a ball and he starts dribbling and yells, "Let's do this!"  a couple minutes later he comes back and shuts off zoom.  

Got me so damn fired up for basketball season.  /csb 

Just ordered my tickets. Shitty drum is the worst but this team deserves fans.

That's a shit ton of respect for a new coach and a new roster.

Let's win the whole damn thing. 

That's a pretty demonstrable picture of where the experts see the three tiers of Big XII Hoops this season

1-Kansas, Texas, Baylor 

2-TX Tech, OK-State, WVU

3-OU, TCU, K-State, and ISU

Sucks for the Cyclones.  You can tell that every single coach voted them dead last.  No hiding it.  

Anything can happen, one game at a time, it's a deep league, etc., etc., insert cliche here.  But you've got to have your targets set on sweeping all Tier-3 teams (8-0), split with Tier 1 teams (2-2), and win at home with tier 2 and steal one on the road.  14-4, co-champs with Kansas and get a favorable geographic seeding.
