It seems that old age crankiness has its grip on me, but I am afraid that we are what is called a stepping stone(at best and graveyard at worst). Old coaches come for a soft landing into retirement land or a young coach trying to make a splash and cash in on it. Best of all, the administration doesn't count wins and losses anymore. Make sure they get to class and see how many El Paso kids you can put on the team that will graduate for sure. We are a Top Tier school. We are Harvard on the Border! Winning silly games played by knuckle-dragging bone-heads is for normal schools. We are Rice, Harvard, Yale, ivy covered walls and libraries is what we are. now. Hell, my mother always said a bad excuse is better than none at all. So, when we lose it is a good thing. Embrace the losing is a recognition of the academic heights we have reached. Instead of foam picks we need to wave foam magnifying glasses or foam calculators maybe diplomas!
As for the basketball team. CRT seems to have been assembling some talent. Unfortunately, I haven't seen it come together yet. I mean, God Almighty if we had had a kid who could drain threes the inside would have opened up and the beast would have been absolutely amazing to watch. Still bitching, I don't know why it is but damn it seems like the last time we had a kid who could drop bombs was all the way back to Barbee and Randy(?).
