I would be a little more careful making sudden moves around large animals with horns.

Texas up 46-30 vs Arkansas Pine-Bluff with Bishop and Cunningham leading the way. Speaking of Brock, check out his 70's porn stache!

He has such an "Opie Taylor" look that the pornstache is necessary. lol

88-43 Texas. The team played really well after a tough loss. They shot 59.7% from the field and 40.9% from 3 pt range. The only negative was shooting only 50% from the line.

I'm not sure of the numbers but I believe a lot of points were scored in the paint, which is always a good thing. BTW APB played TCU & ou tough earlier this year. The Horns were just too much, especially in the 2nd half.

One thing different about this team than in years past is that they are really deep. He rotates 5 guys in and there is no drop off. In years past if a couple guys were having a bad game, they were done. Now Beard has enough guys that a couple can be going bad and someone will pick the team up. Different guys are the leader every game. This is why CDC went and got Beard.

Yea it took losing to Abilene Christian in the 1st round (really sucked at the time!), but it was a blessing in disguise since we got Beard.

 Losing to ACU sucked beyond all measure, That's why Shaka left on his own free will.

Appears to be true.  “Family member?”  Hopefully not a woman…. Is that an appropriate thing to hope for?

I'll wait for details to surface, but you're not wrong. Hopefully he was defending someone. Damn shame though.

[TexCoyote]

Not alot shocks me in today’s times but I am literally shocked 

[longhorn_mig]

Yep, it’s him…

It's definitely him, per IT.

He was strangling someone according to the police report.

If it's a woman, he's gone and probably done coaching at any level (if found guilty). Man, he had the world in his hands. I'm beyond bummed.

Completely agree on everything you said.  

[Ntx dog]

Man both our basketball teams held such promise at the beginning of the season. 

The women's team has been beset by nagging injuries and the "flood of newcomers" inconsistency. Now they lost their best player perhaps for the season.

And now this. Minimum a few games suspension, worst case, he is gone.

So bummed.

I'm an optimist but in today's society and if this was done to his wife, I don't see how he's not done. I know everyone's innocent until proven guilty but it aint looking good.

Could be. Hopefully when the facts come out it's not so bad that firing is the only option. 

Hopefully it's something his family and the University can address and move forward from.

Alot of coaches around the country are about to be getting hefty raises. Anytime Texas gets an opening or even looks like they might get an opening, schools start ponying up to their guy.

BREAKING: Prominent Austin attorney Perry Minton, representing Beard says: "Coach Beard is 100 percent innocent of these charges. He should have never been arrested. The complainant wants him released immediately and all charges dismissed. It is truly inconceivable."

[okiehorn]

Beard's attorney, Perry Minton, stated the following:

"Coach Beard is 100% innocent of these charges. He should have never been arrested. The complainant wants him released immediately and all charges dismissed. It is truly inconceivable."
