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.

EP, I get your point, but I don’t think the fact that Texas hasn’t won a tourney came as an underdog doesn’t support it. Teams are favored because they are better. The odds that they win are greater than those who are not favored. It’s not like Texas goes into games with a secret weapon

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.

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.

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?

This is a slogan significantly more inspirational than our staff’s golf slogans with their demographic appeal skewed towards 50+ year old WASPs who sport straw hats without irony.
I kinda liked our previous slogans — they spoke to me.

What about everyone in Texas who love the Horns that might have differing grammatical/linguistic preferences? We should include everyone so I propose variations on the theme, such as:
!Somos Tejas! – for south Texaners
Wer sind Texas! – for early central Texas settlers
[asian language symbols] Texas! – UT honors students
!είμαστε Texas! – that guy who served me the gyro today at Athenian Bar & Grill
We are and/or were Texas, from the year 1845 to the present! – UT law students
We is Texas! or We be Texas! – remedial English students
We Texas! – those who prefer brevity
I know I missed lots of us but this is a start at least.

Very original work by M the coach and staff. Me thinks Cleve had a hand(job) in coming up with something so catchy and unique. “Weird” Texas has an Austin ring to it. “Qui r” Texas has a French texty feeling. “Weak home schedule” Texas speaks truth to power. Cronkite is rolling in his grave, and Roy Spence is looking at the overriding royalty possibilities.

I also really liked the commercials. Every other school commercial shows dorky, diverse students doing vaguely academic, scientific things. Our commercial don’t even bother.

Texas Monthly gave UT a Bum Steer award a few years back for their “We’re Texas” slogan.
Apparrently GSDM was originally hired by Tech to advertise their medical school’s clinic.
There were billboards all over West Texas with “We’re Texas Tech” slogan.
A few years later GSDM came up with “We’re Texas” for UT ( and charged the university some big bucks ).
