Report: Academic misconduct occurred at Texas under Rick Barnes Report: Academic misconduct occurred at Texas under Rick Barnes | Local News | Times Free Press

Good grief. Will it ever end?

Seriously, now you are seeing why big time college coaches are jumping to the NBA. They are tired of this stuff. "College basketball" and "clean" can never be used in the same sentence, for anybody.

Lol. Dear God...

Well, I think we can chalk today up to it being Dooley's birthday.

Would be a bad person if I posted rumors that end up being false. I like the rest of you, will wait for it to get sorted out.

All I can say is..... damn

Cannot make myself care about the NFL or NBA any more. They are bloated, hyped caricatures of what they used to be in my book. I can handle about 2 minutes of an NBA game with 6 guys standing around outside while a two on two happens with grabbing, hacking and shoving - nah. Same with the NFL, although I watch it a little longer before becoming bored or sleepy. Rules about rules to make sure those rules are followed while guys on offense tackle defensive guys and if anybody breathes on the chosen there is a flag thrown. Mercenaries for hire in both sports with no real team allegiance by ownership, coaches, or players. Not my idea of entertainment any more. The only team pro sport I care about is MLB and most on here would rather watch paint dry than see even an inning of that.

Even with collegiate sports becoming more money hungry, it is still the best deal around IMO. When UT versus UA or UF in football; or UT versus UK in basketball ceases to interest me I will know it is time to move to the retirement home for regular bingo parties. What am I saying, I even love UT versus Austin Peay.

Wow! A kindred spirit... who knew. :hi:

Grandson will begin classes at Austin Peay in the fall, so I may be torn when UT plays them...


HA... NOT!

Fair enough. You're right.

Thank you for taking the high road which is seldom used.

I hope he didn't do what he is being accused of but it is a really good thing we took two other quarterbacks in the signing class.

Awesome, that's where we were!

We lived at the French Pool bar. Germaine, Kevin and the other guys there are awesome.

And the all night bakery plus the pizzas at lunch were probably responsible for 3 or 4 extra pounds on me.

If some of you guys don't think Hurd will break some long runs this year, I don't know what to tell you, but it's coming.

 

[Nashvegas31]

Thompson wasn't a top pick. You're thinking of Bennett, another Canadian, who left with Wiggins in the Love trade.

Tristan Thompson was #4 pick in his draft. That's a top pick

USA and Germany tied 1-1 at half in Colon Germany (Colon). Couldn't resist haha.

On the Texas stuff...

Rob and I have been working this one today/afternoon and obviously Texas has issued a statement. In that statement, Texas said Rick Barnes had no knowledge of any possible wrong doing. It's my understanding that Texas coaches have very little interaction directly with academics on anything outside of class attendence. I don't get the feeling that there's much worry from Tennessee's view of things. Obviously we will keep working the allegation and see what we can find if there is anything to it at all. Right now there doesn't appear to be much there.

Plausible deniability... Smart way to go about it.
