Title: Why is Texas bad at stuff. (Also football related.)
Post by: kitten_mittons on November 11, 2016, 08:25:23 PM: They get 4/5 star recruits, can hire top-tier coaches, I don't buy that recruits don't try hard because they already think they are good, let's croudsource this deal.

Post by: Skipper44 on November 11, 2016, 09:00:47 PM: Well, they aren't bad but they do have ups & downs most blue bloods that don't accept losing do not have. Also, by and large they give no shits for basketball.

Well, that's just not true. Which blue bloods don't have ups and downs?

Post by: steve dave on November 11, 2016, 09:07:38 PM: they've won the B12 4 times in the last 11 years including a NC. They've gone to the NCAA 17 of the last 18 seasons including a final 4 and two other E8s. and they really never even played basketball prior to barnes. name programs that have done more in both of the major sports. pretty long list? there are schools that have accomplished more but not many.

Post by: kitten_mittons on November 11, 2016, 10:45:30 PM: For Texas, finishing below top 3 in the conference is a bad year. They have more bad years than good years. Why? Also, mack and Rick were studs and they should have not let them go.
