I'll go back and look but i don't think that was my immediate take. Pretty sure i said he wouldn't be coaching again and that this was a bigger deal than some thought. I did have my doubts once they got ole girl to say it didn't happen, but ultimately i tip my hat to the UT President, NOT Del Conte, who stepped in and made the right call, given the facts. Was a little surprised they gave him the option to step down and he didn't, but to the VP of Legal Affairs point, Beard absolutely thought he would be back and ultimately didn't see the significance of the situation & his wrongdoing, per their words. Looking back, guess we lucked out to not have to deal with this gut punch and got paid $4m on top. [emoji6]

Edit: Tim Cowlishaw, DMN, nailed it in this top article. Second is informative as well but the letter exchanges with Beard's attorney...smh

Nice win by the Horns. Defense showed up better today

I felt for a minute they were going to blow it.

Nice win on the road.

The ESPN list of top candidates for the next Texas head coach doesn't impress me.

Top 3:

Calipari
Drew
Samson


Give me Drew all day.

This Bread fiasco has taken the wind out of my fan sails. I was all fired up to see Beard talking more hoops on my screen while the wins piled up leading to a deep run into the tourney. Now I just don’t care even though success is still a possibility. Win or lose, I just can’t find the energy to care.

Hopefully I can rekindle my fandom but for now it feels like I’m in mourning for what could have been.

Crazy how it all went down but The University was left with only one option. They made the right call given the circumstances.

Maybe I need to go sit in the Moody Center and see if fan support creeps back in.
