Rick Barnes and the Nagging Question
Back in March 2010, Rick Barnes stirred up Longhorn fans with this quote in ESPN The Magazine. When asked, "Do you feel pressure this year to not only go to the Final Four, but to win the national championship?", Barnes replied: "We would love to win a national championship, but we're not obsessed...

Happy Father's Day From Two Awesome Longhorns
My kids got to meet two terrific young men today and they were nice enough to pose for a picture for casa de Berger. These Horns have at least four fans for life. Thanks guys.
Cory Joseph Jumps: Another One Done in Austin
As the midnight deadline passed and Cory Joseph's name remained in the NBA draft, most college basketball fans had the same reaction: disappointment. Joseph was the last of the five starters from last season with a chance to return and Longhorn followers hoped he could team with fellow Canadian...
Statesman Confirms Tristan Thompson Will Enter the NBA Draft
I posted this back on April 8. I was on the phone with an AAU coaching friend of mine and he clicked over to take a call from Jordan Hamilton's AAU coach. When my friend clicked back I asked him to ask about Hamilton going to the NBA. His answer to my friend was, yeah, Jordan's gone and Tristan...

It's been fun guys. You too, Dogus. Cursing Rick Barnes has become a pastime if you’re a Longhorn hoops fan. Considering this unexpected news, maybe Rick Barnes is just cursed? In talking with a few people close to the players that would know these kind of up-to-the-minute aspirations, it’s...
Rick Barnes and Texas Hoops Reflections
Part of every misery is, so to speak, the misery's shadow or reflection: the fact that you don't merely suffer but have to keep on thinking about the fact that you suffer. I not only live each endless day in grief, but live each day thinking about living each day in grief. — CS Lewis Misery? Yes....
No, It's Not THAT Tristan Thompson
Sometimes teh internet can really suck at reporting. For instance, NBAdraft.net reported earlier today that Texas freshman Tristan Thompson was turning pro and had already hired an agent. ORLY? It seems that another TT - a guard from North Texas, is turning pro. Rest easy Horn fans, you don't need...
'That's what you're going with?'
Disturbing. Appalling. Unsettling. That pretty much sums up my decision to re-watch Sunday's game. Trips put a nice bow on it, except for the part about making me look at how open Gary Johnson would have been, had J'Covan Brown actually had on his point guard hat at the time. My only consolation...
Texas vs. Arizona and the Nation Post Mortem
The finality of the NCAA tournament is as painful as a kick in the Onions! Especially when the elimination game comes down to one possession. Unfortunately, because I’m a Texas fan, the manner in which the Horns were eliminated wasn’t all that surprising. In live game situations, it’s usually a...
