Barnes may not be liked in basketball circles in the Northeast but personally I don't really care what happened up there, although I do respect the fact he stood up to Dean Smith after Smith said something to one of his players.
I like Barnes because he is real and tells it like it is. At the very least, Rick doesn't say annoying shit after a loss....or a win. Mack spins everything in a positive way and it's sickening. Barnes just gives it to you straight up. My sentiments about Mack Brown are the same as others here. Barnes has hardware - Big 12 conference title and Final Four appearance. Mack has a souvenir from Sea World.
Barnes took over a program that is the basketball equivalent of Oregon or Mississippi in football -- a name school but not considered a top tier program year in and year out.
He is building a program that nationally is getting the kind of reputation that football has enjoyed since Darrell Royal. And yes, he is doing this with mid-level talent. You think any of these seniors are going to enjoy NBA careers of any kind?
Barnes is now reaching the level of recruiting success that Mack and football have had for a while. Let's see what he does when he has three McDonald's AA's on the same team. I'm sure you hecklers will take a different approach.
Box, quit hating on our coach man! That's the 3rd time I've read that story from you.
GL today!

"and always had a smug attitude just like everybody else at UT, like we're better than you"
i'll keep that in mind next time you come down to visit us.

Felonious Monk said:wolfpacker, I love reading your comments about our suck ass coach and then hearing how Wolf Pack fans want him as their next coach. Looks like your support is on the low end of the totem pole.
FM, congrats on a fine year in Football and Basketball. Texas is sorta similar to my Alum, NCSU, we both ended our Basketball season as a LOSER! It's fact, we lost our last game. BUT, in football, I believe the Longhorns fell to Washingyon St as a 8' point favorite, 20-28. State won there last game so we ended our season as a WINNER! Also we beat Texas Tech by 28 instead of 3! Yes you guys had more wins and ranked higher, but what you remember most is the last game was lost.
As for our Basketball coach, I was at State for the Les Robinson years, so I really don't give a shit who our coach is because any f*cking body is better than that Loser. Les Robinson equaled Less Wins.
Also, I do not see why fans want to get rid of Herb, he takes us to the dance and we lose. Just like 64 other coaches will do this year (Think that playin game is stupid, if you going to have 1, you might as well have 4, one for each #1 seed to play).
Now that I have you pissed, I will let you know that I pull for your Longhorns a lot, except when they play Oklahoma. I have a friend that is a coach for Oklahoma. I put money on the Longhorns a lot, both sports. I just thought it was funny about your signature. By the way, I am pretty sure that Texas lost ATS that game I was talking about.
No hard feels FM! Good luck to you and your Longhorns in the future.

hey FM, I was just giving you my opinion, I have nothing personal against UT, I just dont like the football program and Mack brown because I dont think anybody does less with more than he does, as far as hoops I have nothing against em , LOL dont hate on me If I ever come down again, I actually enjoyed my visit very much, and especially austin, helluva burger at casino el camino, and if it wasnt damn christmas eve I couldve got more smashed at the fine bars on 6th st

Mexican food at El Arroyo is the way to go. Monk are you going to the FF? I am but going to stay in Austin.
As for Barnes, I am often displeased with what he does on the bench but it is pretty hard to be critical. He has built a program and is getting players now that never would ahve come here before. 3 Sweet 16' s last 3 years- who else can say that? Pitt Duke UConn. Not too shabby.
As for Mack, well who can argue. He is too soft and retains incompetent assistants because they are his friends. But only time will tell us for sure. Tom Osborne, Bobby Bowden used to get talked about the same way and last I checked it worked OK for them. Brown is out of time though - another OU loss may be the end.

Little inside info here, if the Sooners have the talent to win and Bob Stoops is coach. Look for a Oklahoma cover against Texas. Stoops does not like Brown at all!
Wilson said:I've personally known TV for 20+ years. He was my high school baseball coach in WV. I could tell you stories...but, I won't
Wilson, tell us a story!
"Monk are you going to the FF? I am but going to stay in Austin."
I won't be at the games but I plan to shoot down to the Riverwalk for a day and enjoy the atmosphere. Unless you're staying at someone's house here in Austin or already have reserved a hotel room, you may not find anything available due to the Texas Relays. You may want to look somewhere in San Marcos if that's the case. Have fun man!

Hang in there Texans, last NC was 1970 in FB. Maybe
another one for the next generation? Who let these
schools join the Big 8? We were doing just fine without
them!

As long as Rick Barnes is the coach at Texas, they will never win a NCAAB national championship. That's a bet that is as close to a lock as you will ever see.
I know it sucks for you that we keep kicking your ass in football and basketball but you don't have to be so pissy about it.

I have to agree with FM!
But Roy can beat Herb
Our success depends on whether we beat the Tarholes. We did in Football, we did not in Basketball. I just wished that all schools had the same requirements on their athletes. State's Basketball players have to maintain a higher GPA (going back to Coach V) than other schools in the ACC (Tarholes are one of them).f monk-even though i am a duke fan barnes seems to be primed for a final four or better very soon.don't know if he was the coach when ewing signed with duke but i think more great hs players in that area will be staying home. barnes seems to have a great rapport with players. as far as unc goes,our local media loves them. can you imagine what it is like when they are really good. being bad in football and mediocre in baskets this year,they still are the media's favorites. nc state owns them in football and we own them in baskets.considering the alumni,the money in the athletic program,the power of the rams club and the plethora of local fans they have one of the most underachieving programs in the country.
Barnes may not be the greatest coach, but he will win one before Roy ever will. Roy has proven he cant win when it counts. Gonna LMFAO if KU pulls it out this year with ROy and 2 All-Americans gone.
if roy doesn't make sweet sixteen next yr,beat duke at least once and finish in top 2 of conference the rumblings will begin.unc sports are way down.even last week the womens soccer program took a hit when after 6 yrs they paid 70g to settle one of the sexual harrassment lawsuits.there is one other girl who may finally get to have her case tried.

Me too FM, Ill be laughin my ass off also, my friends a big KU fan and I hate em, but roy is a jerk never liked him, nice guy but never won and always cried, LOL, hate mack more than barnes, but UT thinks theyre better than everybody, always have the talent but dont get job done vs OU in foots ever, need to just get over the hump, Im sure you'd agree Mack needs monster yr and win over OU or hes gone though
