Post Game Thoughts | Texas Longhorns 83, Texas Tech Red Raiders 52

Seth don’t waste your time breaking this game down. It was pathetic and that’s pretty much all we need to know. I feel the same about PK. I like the guy personally and think he’s probably a great role model for kids and Tech but he’s just not head coaching material. It’s too bad he didn’t transition into a great coach. The nepotism thing probably hurt his chances for success. We need a great recruiter and coach combined in order to right the ship. Hopefully a solid AD will identify our weaknesses and and make a good hire. The sooner the better because this season is already over.

It may be a good idea to replace PK now. There are mental games going on between PK and his players. I believe we have the Wade Philips syndrome happening with this team. Even though the results might not be any better, Bubba could finish this year up and Tech make a good hire at end of the season. If PK finishes this year, this is going to be a painful for Tech fans to watch. I’m like you Seth I like PK , but this season is going from bad to worse. A head coach should never attack his players verbally in the press!

The administration and our AD need to be put into the equipment shed, and please lock the door and turn out the lights.

100 percent Seth

Wow, we are toast. I couldn’t believe the lack of effort and fundamentals that Tech put on display last night. Sure, Texas is a good team, but we did not compete. That is inexcuseable. This is a team just going through the motions. When you expected to see a play executed off of a time-out, instead you got 5 guys just winging it, hoping that someone might get open. It rarely happened. X’s and O’s aside, basketball is ultimately about getting the ball through the hoop. We sucked at that. That was some of the poorest shooting I have ever witnessed in a Division I game. I hope I’m wrong, but we may not win a conference game this year.

And although I’m sure that there are former coaches and employees that may deserve to be the next athletic director, I want nothing to do with any former coach trying to run a multi-million dollar business. Perhaps 10 or 20 years ago, this is the way athletic departments were run, but I would love nothing more than to see someone that can look at the current state of athletics and start holding some toes to the fire.

Could not agree more.

But I think Tech needs a trauma surgeon rather than an AD at this point. This is getting f’n ridiculous!!!

You mean we get two months less of Gerald a d all we have to do is lift our skirt and show our ass on national tv? I jump in it. Surely, this doesn’t look good for the tubs for ad campaign either.
Crockett is a throwback to the athleticism of the dickey teams, and this year is a waste with him. Singletary’s effort against Unt should have caused more grief than pk gave….he’s all bark and no bite.
Our deal with the devil was not a good long term deal for our program. I can’t believe we have been saddled with Gerald for all these years…when my interaction with him 25 years ago in Lubbock made me think he would end up in a padded room. Not a good guy then, and still not….there’s your tribute.

Does anybody know if they have actually started looking?

This is a critical decision for TTU, but one subject we never hear anything about. I would love to know what the thought process is. Since it involes the Bell Tower boys, however, we’d all probably be amazed and ashamed at the lack of any coherent ideas being floated or worked on.

It is clear to me that the players do not repsond to PK. Whatever connection there was at the beginning of the season (and I don’t think there was much of one as I think the players quit last year too), it’s no longer there.

Last night, in many key situations, Tech was simply “out-hearted”, that is, not necessarily out-played, but rather Tech had no heart in the game.

Regardless of what we think of PK, he’s not the right coach for this team or school, and we should put everyone out of their misery and fire him now, name an on-staff interim let the kids play, and find a new AD NOW!

Seth is right-on regarding the qualifications for a new AD. We need a young businessman that is in a current assistant AD position at a powerhouse school and give him/her the opportunity to run this program.

We need it now!

I was in attendance, for the entirety (even after they killed the lights on the second level). I don’t feel bad at all for saying that the team sucks, they put forth literally no effort. No one on that court wearing red and black seemed to care, including PK. I mean hell, the first time we pressed was after we were down by 30. Can someone please explain to me how that’s a coaching decision worth the big bucks? PK needs to go, immediately. Big Lew needs someone to explain to him that 6 points and 0 fouls in the first half isn’t good for a starting post, it shows that you aren’t playing hard. And our Athletics department is stupid for selling all tickets to the game at $30 a pop. Do they not realize that we suck and you can watch high school teams play better ball for much much cheaper?

The part that chaps my ass the most is the fact that after the game I was at IHOP when several players came in to eat. They were joking and happy, you would have never guessed that they just got killed by an in state rival. I don’t know about you guys, but if I get my ass handed to me I’ve got a chip on my shoulder for a while. It’s time to start canceling scholarships for players that don’t seem to care about playing. F ’em.
