when we were guaranteed a final possession down by at best one and at worst three??? I don't understand that.

Ouch

Baseball at 1 and WBB at 5. Should be a good day. Hook’em!

Am I wrong, or were they better players under their former coaches?

but he’s needs to stop this excessive fouling, he gave them six point swing and momentum.

Maybe he’ll go WWE when he’s done here.

Not only does this team not do the little things well; they do them so compoundingly awful it would make a 3rd grade rec coach look like John Wooden.

Can’t inbound, can’t defend the inbound, turn overs under the basket, turnovers in the back court, fouling, not fouling, taking a three down three with time left to get a quick 2 and foul… against a team that averaged 70% on the season…it all goes to the top.

Truer words have never been spoken.

Geez!

Nick Nolte and Kim Mulkey’s fun baby.

He was supposed to be a good D1 player? Because he’s really horrible in this game.

I deal with this every March Madness, I want to pick Texas to win, but end up either picking them to lose in the 1st or 2nd round.

I don't have a problem with Gonzaga, but how many NCAA men's basketball championships have they won?
A few trips to the final 4 (with a notable absence of a single championship) doesn't qualify as "blue blood".

Has become nothing but a dirty player

Is the best way to listen to old music

So damn heart broken today. Lost our dog after 13 years. Hardest thing I ever had to do. Until I see you again Charlie Torres - watching longhorn games at home won’t be the same.

Congrats! 2024 National Runner Up!

Are the Masters commercials. They get me excited.

So many threads about RT are devolving into the same two factions:

Faction 1: He has done great by comparison to previous Texas coaches
Faction 2: Sure, but previous Texas coaches are not a good standard

I think here's the gap that people are missing: the key piece in evaluating Terry is that he is very early in his tenure. If he loses tomorrow (expected), he will have an Elite 8 and a Round of 32 to his name - which again, is much better than the how our last 3 coaches started.

That doesn't mean that's good enough in perpetuity. I think that is where the people that are down on Terry miss the argument - it's not that we're saying that since Shaka never got out of the first round, that as long as Terry gets to the 2nd round every year we're golden. What we're saying is that it's early in his tenure, and that he has shown himself to overachieve in March. And that means there is a chance that Terry will be able to begin to start building something - something better than just winning a couple of tourney games.

I think that's the gap that we all probably agree on - Terry still has more to do. What those of us pointing at previous coaches are saying is that he's on a better track than Barnes at this point, and I think that if you told me we can sign up for something better than the first 10 years of Barnes' career (one final 4, two elite 8s, two sweet 16s), that would be pretty appetizing considering the fact that we are just not really a basketball powerhouse. And that we may have the money and resources and all that, but we do not have the basketball culture that some of these other programs do.

He's in the Lone Star State for a Battle 7v7/5v5 Tournament (I believe he's playing with a team out of Cali) in Houston. He and his team are scheduled to tour Texas this afternoon. On Saturday afternoon, the team will visit Texas A&M. I'm sure it'll pop up on social media but this isn't a deal where Brown is taking it upon himself to visit A&M.

Brown does have OVs set up for Tennessee, Texas and USC in June so this is one we'll obviously continue to monitor. He'll be part of a group touring UT today but I'm guessing Texas will give him the VIP treatment.

Just killing us.

I’ll go 50% support of Terry if he beats Tenn. If not, still a Jag.

Watching our guards just get beat down trying to run an offense without a floor leader is just awful. But it got me thinking, Texas never has true point guards. I started following Texas basketball in elementary school thanks to the BMW days and I think the only true point guards since then have been TJ and DJ Augustine. Which other PGs have we had?

Bourbon is good for the soul, if I drink it all before the end of the game it’s a jag.

You should always go to other people's funerals; otherwise they won't come to yours.
~~~~~~~~~ Lawrence Peter Berra, aka "Yogi"

All through our lives, we make all sorts of attachments, many of which we will eventually lose. Some of those "losses" are by design. We raise our children, for example, to one day become responsible adults, yet we find ourselves longing for the wonders of their childhood. Other losses are not so easily accepted. In our 20s and 30s, we attend lots of weddings and related activities (the dreaded couples' shower) but as we age, we begin to face the reality of death. We lose a best friend, a favorite grandparent, our own parents, and we begin to wonder why we let our hearts get so wrapped up in love in the first place.

Holding onto our hearts, refusing to give love to others, will not save us pain. When we submit to life, it offers a changing kaleidoscope of experiences. Those include the pain of loss, but there is peace in learning to live fully in every season, every experience. Billy Graham's wife requested that when she died, her gravestone bear the words "End of construction. Thank you for your patience." She recognized that her life---and ours too by the way---was at all times a work in progress, shaped by joys and pains, gains and losses.

For today, God, help us to embrace this life fully, and by Your Grace to accept its changes and challenges.

Hebrews 13:8
In loving memory of Allen Jones, who made us glad we had room for him in our hearts.
