March 20Mar 20 2 minutes ago, Red Five said: Bobby and Gerry were pretty aggressive about it on their show tonight. “We expect him to be let go soon but not sure if it’s official yet.” Lots of talk about how fast this will move. It's amazing that people pay guys like that for info. Like I know for a fact that RT is gone and I'm not paying my car insurance through $9.95 residuals. All you need is pattern recognition and some insight and to not be a blathering idiot being fed misinformation. There are easily a dozen posters here across every men's big 3 sport that I trust more than Burton or Hamilton.

Okay and MY point is that after tonight I would expect it to happen very quickly regardless of what $9.95ers have to say. That isn't new intel. I mean I'm one degree away from multiple guys on the team and a student manager and even then I don't dig for info a lot because, well first, I respect people's privacy, but also because most of this shit should be obvious. I don't need Gerry and Bobby to form my opinion on this shit.

I'm expecting that CDC will give the news to RT within 24 hours, but his pattern is not to go public until he has the next guy lined up and ready to announce. It may not be announced to a few weeks, depending on who it is.

This is 3rd tier bullshit barely making then losing the 68 team play in round. Pitino builds programs, and although he wouldn't be here long, if he took the job he would know he'd be here long enough to build a contender. He's the best college coach out there. The dude took Providence college to the final 4 almost 40 years ago and now is winning at St Johns of all places. Now, if he says no or if they just really want to roll the dice with a young coach then try to go after Royal Ivy. I just think Pitino would be an easier get than Ivy at this point. Ivy is making a big name for himself in NBA circles and is probably a year or two away from having an NBA head coaching job. He might not want to deal with college bullshit.

No one with a solid job in a power conference is going to leave a successful program to come here. The only reason Pitino might is because he's at St Johns, and he's been reforming his image and legacy after the Louisville disaster. He, like Beard, is on a 2nd chance career reclamation mission. Making his final chapter being turning a major program that has never won shit in it's history into a title winner is an enticing ending to his story and legacy.

Test him. Wouldn't be the first time he was full of shit to the media. What will happen is they'll end up with someone like Sean Miller who will have them competitive, somewhere between a 3 to 9 seed most years, and the occasional sweet 16. The university needs to decide if they want to go all in to win the final piece of the men's money sport national championships, or if they're content to be good and make the sweet 16 most years while putting in all the money into football and baseball.

March 20Mar 20 you look at all of the home run hires that cdc has made, you look at the state of Texas Athletics, you look at the women being a 1 seed, you look at KD calling Austin a basketball city, you look at Texas hiring chris beard right after TTU extended him and made him the fourth highest paid HC in the country, and you look at Texas building Moody (where the NBA is already playing regular season games), and you tell me what you think we’re gonna do: hire the guy whose last job move was a step down/step back to his old job, or hit another one over the batter’s eye in center field?

One does not harp pay for all information, but you do have to put up with stuttering and schizophrenic interruptions of Bobby’s sentences by at least 4 or 5 trains of thought that will result in 20 words that don’t even complete half of a thought before one train of thought stutters through into fairly complete sentences with several “at the end of the day”s and some “if that makes any sense”s before Gerry takes over to provide inside information with butchered grammar. it’s probably the best free inside information in the Texas sports sphere.

Chip Brown is becoming a non-entity with Bobby & Gerry leaving the national focus and transitioning to Texas only focus. His weekly podcast doesn’t even seem to be weekly anymore, plus there doesn’t seem to be any in-podcast advertising like there was a couple of years ago. He has to be a dick and tweet this so that other media will pick it up and credit him so that people are reminded that he still exists. He’s marginalized because he’s a dick, so he has to be more of a dick so that he’s not forgotten.

Xavier played a nice little game. The Pope minutes and the stretch where Shed had to sit because he got kneed in the balls was the difference. That and the Tre FT misses but what are you going to do he's fucking 19. Wouldn't be surprised if Xavier beats Illinois. They have a decent squad and can shoot.

Just thinking CDC may have something brewing.
