Can the state pursue a case with out charges being filed as in a statutory case? Not an attorney, so I don’t know but suspect they can. To me from the University’s view was whether his “behavior is clearly unbecoming of a head coach”. To be clear, I want him to survive. But my gut says he is gone. The question is will he walk away with a settlement or empty pockets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve seen rumors from Lubbock that his fiancé is a crazy person and has quite the temper. He’s obviously shown that he is very high strung as well. I would not agree with Texas trying to keep him unless they can 100% prove it wasn’t him. While Texas May not reach their potential this season, but they just opened an incredible facility and they should be able to hire a great coach as soon as this year is over.

I had a buddy (who is a pessimistic fan, mind you) text me and tell me Texas basketball is done. Texas basketball will be just fine. The actions of Beard inside his own household do not represent that program nor the players on that team. I'm sure that took a hit inside the locker room morale wise, but this is just a small bump in the road for the basketball program. I think right now they are handling the situation appropriately. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bordertown Posted December 22, 2022 Author Share Posted December 22, 2022 Nice win tonight over 10-1 Louisiana. It appears the Beard distraction has run its coarse. Dylan Disu left the game with an apparent knee injury and did not return (was able to put weight on it). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bordertown Posted January 1 Author Share Posted January 1 Gutty game by the Horns to pull out a win over Oklahoma 70-69. Rice hit clutch free throws to hold off the Sooners. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bordertown Posted January 5 Author Share Posted January 5 Kansas St outscored Texas 116-103. It was a combination of Texas’s inability to protect the rim and incredible shooting by the Wildcats. They shot 60% from the field, 54% from 3pt, and 94% from the line. Every time the Horns made a run, the Wildcats responded drilling a 3pt shot.

bordertown Posted January 6 Author Share Posted January 6 (edited) With today’s Beard news, I hope Terry can keep the players focused this weekend. Thinking about the players & coaches whose lives just took a second punch. I doubt Terry will be considered for the head coach next year. Del Conte is going to be watching a lot of basketball over the next two months. Edited January 6 by bordertown Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know Texas basketball hasn't done anything as far as championships go, but the stock right now is extremely high. I expect some big names to be in the mix.

IMO this was forced by a woke element that has a lot of sway at UT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regardless if Beard isn’t charged with a crime, having pictures of him in prison clothes and the original affidavit from police is a terrible look for the university. Once this became public and details came out Bears didn’t have a chance to keep his job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PelvisPresley Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 I would think that Kelvin Sampson would be an awesome consideration finally at Texas. Second choice, Eric Musselman...both of these guys are top notch and could continue in the vain of being able to use the transfer portal in an incredible way. I think that's 1B - 49.9% or even higher to competing for national championships on a yearly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bordertown Posted January 10 Author Share Posted January 10 Sampson is 67 and would be a short term fix. If those are the two choices (which I don’t think is the case), I will go with Musselman who is 58. I’m okay with Terry if the players get behind him.

bordertown Posted January 12 Author Share Posted January 12 In my mind the game was over a halftime with TCU leading by 18. But the Horns plugged away lead by Disu to take a 79-75 victory. Nice win over another top 20 team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
