... a thread about dumping Coach Barnes! In fact, I hope he stays around these parts as long as he so desires ... but, since this is the off season combined with the Silly Season, we need all of the entertainment that we can get ... so ... BleacherReport has this article entitled, King's Court: Who Should Be the Next Coach at the Biggest CBB Programs?, by Jason King. this article discusses who Jason thinks would be the best coach for various college basketball programs if per chance a new coach were needed - say, there was a retirement, some coach decided to leave to coach in the Pro's or some such, or say they decided to pull a Ricky Williams and take a sabbatical to India in order to study the lint in their belly buttons ... he discusses fifteen of the teams that he considers the best college programs and who he thinks would fit those programs best. Lot of food for thought there. Here is what he has to say about Texas ...
"Texas, Buzz Williams - Williams left Marquette for Virginia Tech in March. If he’d have waited a few more weeks he probably would’ve been hired at Tennessee or Missouri, both of which would’ve been more desirable. Still, Williams’ long-term goal is to get back to his home state. And if the Texas job comes open anytime soon, there won’t be a better candidate than Williams.
His Southern accent and folksy demeanor would play well with the Longhorns fanbase, and his on-court energy would jolt some life into the Erwin Center, where the stoic Rick Barnes has stalked the sideline for the last 16 years.
Williams is a big personality, which would be a huge plus at any school where football is king. And even though he’s been at Marquette, his recruiting ties in Texas are strong. Some of Williams’ best players (i.e. Jimmy Butler) hailed from the Lone Star State.
The only problem is that Williams’ star could fade if he struggles at Virginia Tech, which is a real possibility considering the state of the program he inherited. He’s attractive now, but will he be in three or four years? Barring a complete meltdown in Blacksburg, I’d hire Williams no matter what."

As an extra added bonus, or useless blog filler, depending on how you look at it, at the end of the blurb, he lists his ten favorite wing joints in the country - the comestibles of which he has partaken.
Well, this got me to thinking and, so tomorrow I think I am going to go try Daisies Kitchen, which I just found out about. The woman who runs this place was Micheal Dell's former private chef. She serves up Mexican-Lebanese fusion food such as a ... "BBQ-sauced, 1/2lb Fatty Burger (w/ white & yellow cheddar, fried onion rings, and bacon, so if you don't live up to your meal's name now, you will soon) and breakfasts like the sourdough Rosedale Fried Egg Sandwich with truffle aioli, bacon, melted Swiss, tomato, and avocado." and ... "chicken wings stuffed with dumpling-esque ground pork & shrimp, then tossed in sweet and sour." I will duly report back on this endeavor as soon as possible!
