LOL no way we pay $18 million for Oats before we even get into his salary, which would likely need to exceed $6m/year to top his current and hit some big numbers by the end of it.

He's at $5m and $7.55m by the time his contract ends in 2030. 

I mean, we have the money, but does CDC have the stomach to drop $18m to buy out a coach?   Maybe CDC passes the hat around to all the Texas alumni in the NBA - what's $2m per NBA player? lol

    Some folks are just cunts. RT was a key reason for the emergence of Texas basketball onto the national stage under Barnes. Kevin Durant came to Austin because of him. He stepped down from a HC po

    I want to thank Coach Terry for pouring his heart and soul into this program. He was forced into a tough situation and did a damn good job. I wish him the very best.

    Someone at work said RT was a DEI hire to appease the masses after Beard and I couldn't argue with her

nil has always been around, one way or another. portal is a bigger shock to the system imo 

There is a big difference between bags and NIL where we have a distinct advantage. The administration is also more committed than ever to have a top notch basketball program and fan experience. I don't think it's going to be same old. This is the year when RT has to show improvement and prove that he can build a big time program or else he is canned.

JFC we're doing this again already?!?

Going down the only road we've ever known.

I don't think you can put too much weight into a game 1 loss against a Power5 opponent in the portal day and age where 6 of your top 8 players are new guys every year.  The warning signs for Rodney will be: getting embarrassed by scrub teams we play in the pre-season; finishing in the bottom 1/2 to 2/3 of the conference standings; failing to make the NCAA tourney or consistently being on the bubble hoping for other teams to lose to make it in; and/or not showing the ability to correct and coach up fixable problems [like defensive rotations] from game to game (preferably from half to half).

it’s currently 27-24 against houston christian with 7 minutes left in the 1H. 

i cannot wrap my head around how you can sit next to rick barnes and chris beard for so many years, as wildly successful as they’ve been, and just totally fail to grasp what it was about those guys that has made them so successful everywhere they’ve been. it all starts with discipline, and i will never understand how RT just lets his team play street ball and make one stupid decision after another with no changes or consequences. 

16 point spread cover tonight. 

Beard would have covered by 500.

Sick of this guy.

At LEAST 500.  Dude had his squad beating our gold medal Olympic team by 10, and it wasn't that close.

The last 3 Texas coaches (Barnes, Shaka, and Beard) all have their respective programs ranked in the top 25, currently. Rodney Terry‘s Texas program is unranked. Feels like the new normal

Just for perspective, KenPom has UTenn at 10, us at 23, Marquette at 25 and Ole Miss out of the top 25.

Nah man, you didn’t hear? Ole Miss is in the top 25 after struggling to beat Grambling State and South Alabama. They’re clearly better than us.

Is RT going to make the final 4 at Texas or win a national championship? If the answer is no then yes its always the right time.

I just think we should let these guys play - idk - 10 games? before throwing them out with the bathwater.

And still no Mark.

Chicago st is obviously an awful team but this isn’t the game I’d pick to start bitching 

so you’ve bumped this thread and are quoting posts from last week for what reason? i mean you really added to the discourse and harmony around here with your combative little bump while texas was beating *checks notes* no.346 chicago state. awesome contribution from you, as always.

oh no, my post was well after that game.  I wasn't here banging the RT drum after beating a shit team.  You, on the other hand, quoted your own post because "who knows!?!? Derka knows !?!?"

 

Of course your boy Beard ain't exactly crushing the tomato cans at the moment right?    You and your drive bys. We struggle for one half and you're back.  Yet you don't come back when we actually run away with it.  Or maybe you did but you asked the mods to delete your posts?  Again?  

This is your 4th handle?  Are you ever gonna change?  If you're gonna do a drive by post, don't get pissed if you're called out on it.

Love poor innocent non-argumentative Derka who is never mean to anyone and just doesn't understand where all this hostility comes from

My stance on RT been clear.  Probably won’t work out but you had to hire him then.  We are one year and two games in.  Can he be better?  Sure

 

but if you’re going to come back into this thread and quote yourself while we’re playing like crap and then disappear when we cover in the second half, am I the dick to bring it back up?  It’s the goose/gander thing

lol at you serious? i’m supposed to eat crow because texas covered the 2H spread against houston baptist? i’m supposed to change everything i’ve ever said or believed about RT based on our second half performance vs one of the worst teams in CBB? you’re mad because i didn’t issue a mea culpa when we outplayed a JV team for one half? of course you are. your combative, middle school mean girl shtick is beyond tired. stop being proud of  being a combative twat who adds nothing to any conversation on this board.

I still hold all of my same opinions about this coach. Blowing out shitty teams isn't the standard and never has been.

why did you delete your post? your PIC quoted it for you anyway. if you’re going to post something you should stand by it, even if it’s your standard shit-talking, middle school drama shtick that’s devoid of any substance. if you’re gonna say it, say it with your chest.

Dude I wouldn't throw any stones about anyone else's appearance if I were you.

Don't play innocent next time you have a breakdown. I literally tried to immediately edit my post in order to not get this going and you decided to go on the attack. 

You're posting multiple personal attacks towards multiple people this morning. Yet you'll be crying and playing the innocent victim soon.

Fuck you, you whiny little bitch.

How the fuck do I block this whiny little bitch again?

Apologies to everyone who is not a whiny little bitch. I'll block him and stop this bullshit since it's clear that Sloth from Goonies here is unable to control himself.

yes, i am calling you combative. you bumped a thread to talk shit because we covered the 2H spread vs one of the worst teams in america. also, your entire posting history re: Texas Hoops is 0% substantive, informative, or mature, and 100% middle school style drive by flaming and shit talk. yes, you are 100% combative.

what are you even talking about? are you a grown man or not? am i responsible for what you post and how you behave or are you? stop blaming me for my hypothetical response to your juvenile nonsense and just say what you want to say. go ahead and give everyone here your typically combative, ad hominem, shit talking thread derail, and stop being so dramatic about it.

Edited by Derka

95% of the regulars here are here exclusively to talk texas basketball, and then there’s motown and cth whose entire posting history and existence is to start, participate in, and perpetuate middle school girl style fights. y’all were born in the 1980’s. you should be embarrassed. grow up, and either add something is substantive when you post or just stop posting here.

Oh my sweet summer child

 

You can live bet anything. Best value right now is waiting for the Chiefs to go down in a game and betting on them to still win. Not that I do that. But I would advise it if you want to waste your money on gambling like an idiot.
