Burnt Ends (2-2)

[MikeV73]

other than KD, those other guys made an elite-8 or final 4. I'm great with that. Been a long time since we sniffed that.

Agree, I'm great with elite8 and Final Four results. Just not sure if these guys were great regardless of coaching. Turner has been disappointing this season to me, but he is just a frosh. I would hate to see him bolt to the NBA after spending only one subpar season on the 40 acres. I guess I shouldn't have expected him to be the next Durant and step in and dominate games. Wish the coaching staff would gear him up. If the outside game is stalling, dump him inside the paint for short range buckets and foul shots.

Well done, again, my friends.  I put "Burnt Ends" in the same category as IT's "Humidor".  And that is a compliment.

Getting one recruit last year saved Barnes' job. 

 untrue.

Barnes is underachieving as usual. At this point, we know what we have in him and know his ceiling. His teams always decline as the season goes on. He did a great job with what he had last year and that's why he's still around, but it's time for him to go. We need new blood.

I'm not into basketball as much as football, but I always got the impression that the players don't respect Barnes as a coach.  I sorta see it on the sidelines when he is talking to them.

I'm probably totally wrong though.

At the end of the day we as fans and alumni/students just have to trust and have faith in Coach Strong and the coaches. They clearly worked their ass off and did their best. I'm pretty tired of analyzing and looking way too far into the fickleness of these high school kids who have yet to play a down of college football. This is The University of Texas, the greatest university in the greatest state in the greatest country in the world. Freaking The University of Texas. If they want to come, come on then let's go! If not, get out of the way and move on. That is all. Hook em

Glad to read that about Heard. I'm a huge fan of his, huge fan. Did I say I was a huge fan of Heard?
