At 6:00 PST/8:00 CST/9:00 EST.
I’ll be joining Peter Bean for a live podcast from the Burnt Orange Nation and Seth from Double T Nation as we talk last week’s OSU game, the upcoming Tortillapalooza in Lubbock, and all talk a tremendous amount of shit about the Big 10.
We’ll be doing live chat and taking phone calls.
Set aside the time now and I’ll be providing the link up here as soon as Peter Bean conveys it.
Here’s the recorded podcast to listen to at your leisure.

Nice job with this – and welcome to the network, on behalf of Better Off Red. See you at the Fantake retreat in Vegas that Sailor Ripley is sponsoring this summer!

Nice job Hiphop. Very nice to win what is probably the toughest game on the schedule handily, although the Hawks obviously caught UT at a good time.
The Morningstar FT was terrible and hilarious. He said the ball was wet, which clearly means Texas was cheating somehow. Would the second chance off balance leaner

Whiskey. Tango. Foxtrot. This game was served up on a silver platter for the Spurs and they managed to fumble it like a Minnesota Viking in the playoffs.
I think perhaps Will Ferrell can describe my emotions on the current state of the Spurs season better than I.

Good write up, hiphop. I love the versatitility of the Morris twins on defense. Xavier Henry is probably the key to a big run in the tournament. If he starts hitting open looks, the inside game will really open up. Post to post passing is fun to watch.

Thanks Trips. I’m hoping for lots of Willie Warren trying to be Sheron Collins. TMG in sync is the scariest thing to face in Norman. That or we get beat up on the boards which seems to be recurring theme of Texas Tech road games.

I don’t think it’s a case of RB not being able to coach, or doing a poor job of coaching. If you read the entirety of Katz’ blog post, he clearly sounds like a coaching searching for answers — answers that come in the form of players contributing, doing what they are coached to do.

I agree that an NIT bid would be acceptable this year, but that if the Razorbacks can get to 20 wins they will have a very good chance at the NCAA Tourney.
Our RPI is bad, and we have no signature wins.

I don’t think we have to win the SEC tourny necessarily. If we make it to the SEC Tourny championship game and have won about 20 games, I would say a tourny bid would look likely. But that is a pretty big task. I know no one cares about the NIT, but that wouldnt be

I like Varez Ward, but he doesn’t seem like the magical missing piece to me. And we’ve got like 15 other guys on scholarship. Losing Varez Ward shouldn’t turn the season into a trainwreck.
Barnes’ “we’re going to fix it” quotes are starting to remind me of Greg Davis talking about fixing the running game. If

Don’t follow basketball as much as you guys do here, but I did watch that game last night. Using my extensive experience in analyzing the sport (next to none) the game felt like it had that “Big Game” feel to it, but somehow it just didn’t turn out that way. Kind of…lackluster?

Trips that Barnes quote is infuriating, considering that our entire fanbase has been saying that exact same line for months. Has he been hoping this whole time that they’d turn into Augustin and Gibson?

We weren’t overly impressive, and at the same time, it may have been this team’s most impressive win. The game didn’t have much rhythm. We never shot it well. In fact, our two best guys can’t be much worse from the field. But damned if we didn’t guard them – especially in that first half.

Scipio is the San Francisco venture cap version of Lumburgh. Many a corporate buzzword at the tip of the tongue. Way too many powerpoints and product launches have corrputed his oral language. Great, great blogger, but I don’t want to hear my manager at work talk about Texas Football.

You guys compared this team to last year’s Patriots and compared Colt to Joe Montana. I really think we compare well to the Super Bowl Colts. The way Colt manages the offense really reminds me of Manning, and their two receivers (Harrison and Wayne) are a lot like Shipley and Cosby, not the fastest or biggest guys in the league but they run great routes, they never drop the ball and they seemed to always be on the same page with Peyton.
ChrisApplewhite said:

I put into my liveblog of the OSU game that Quan is the college Marvin Harrison. He isn’t fast or tall but his intangibles are practically tangible.
We have a QB and 2 WRs with an absolute mastery of the game of football on the team and it’s a joy to watch. They play like they travel back in time after each snap and run the play knowing what’s coming and what they need to do.
They trio probably makes each other look better than they actually are, but someone could talk me into Quan having a legitimate NFL career. Tell me a guy like Tom Brady or Donovan McNabb couldn’t make use of his skillset.

Anybody that can run precision routes, catch every football within five feet of his hands and get from 0-10 yards as fast as Shipley will find a spot on an NFL roster.

They discontinued TEX a few years ago. Maybe around 2003. Could have been 04. It was a sad, sad day in Longhorn history.
On a complete side note, I was in choir at UT and sang at all the big graduation celebrations every year. One year, one of the speakers was the guy who voiced TEX (I can’t remember his name for the life of me). The crowed went absolutely bonkers when he did his “Goodbye, and Good Luck.”
I was hoping they’d have preserved some of his more recognized phrases in audio format somewhere on the UT website. Never have been able to find it, though.

Of course, if UT thought they could make money on a talking TEX bottle-opener, you’d see it on the Co-op shelves by Tuesday. (The “Good Luck” part would be nice for each new beer, by the way)
