Texas Basketball Coach Chris Beard Is Once Again Drinking Beer

Texas Basketball coach Chris Beard is back to beer drinking after giving up the suds for the entirity of the Longhorn's 2021-22 season.

That talks about how he’s going back to his beer. The other quote was reported by Jon Rothstein:

“Chris Beard tells me that he will NOT cut out beer like he did during last season.

Beard on going through last season without beer: "It got really hard when we were on the verge of a big win."”

Kudos to you for finding that POS gossip girl article. Bunch of effin drama queens round here.

Bob Huggins, Eddie Sutton and Bill Self boozed their way to HOF careers.

So did Kevin Wilson.

Bill self - Kevin Wilson. Same person. Good call bro.

USA Today mentions the giving up beer.

Final Four coach gave up beer, dessert, candy throughout the NCAA season, but not Pop-Tarts

While Beard has sworn off beer, dessert and candy, his players self-imposed limits on cell phone use at the Final Four giving them up in the evening.

Just to mention a few. If a guy likes to drink, so what? As long as it doesn't interfere with his job.

Right. Sort of like Kevin Wilson didn't let it interfere with his job. Did he lose his prestigious gig at Tulsa yet?

Published 2019. That’s when eggs were like $0.99 a carton. WTF does that have anything to do with today.

Newsflash. Beer is legal. We can even buy it on Sundays now.

So this is something he does with his teams regularly. Asks each of his players and staff to give up something they like for the season as a show of sacrifice. His was beer and sweets.

Last season, UT basketball coach Chris Beard had each of his players and coaches make a sacrifice during the 2021-22 season. The bench boss decided to give up ice-cold brewskis.


I don’t really see the issue.

They aren’t hiring McCollum people.

Ooh.. ooh. You seem like a source. Who does your source say they are hiring? TIA. !

The Chris Beard debate is becoming a "types of people" sorta thing. Individual life journeys are starting to frame this debate.

Interesting. I think Woody did the same this season. Most of the squad chose to sacrifice effort.

I agree.

The people that have never made a mistake in their lives vs the the people that have dealt with people that poke the bear.

Everyone has made a mistake in their life. Multiple. Most of them don’t include beating women.

 

[Victorbmyboy]

A few Doyle Hargraves practice and halftime speeches would be inspirational.

 

[bbafficionado]

Woodson 4 year extension

 

[TR32]

Every coach on this list would have this team at 20 wins and ready to make a strong tournament run. Mike Woodson would take any of their teams and suck. He’s that bad of a college basketball coach.

well, I disagree with both extremes. Keep in mind IU hired Davis, Sampson, Crean, Archie, and Woodson. Obviously, winning is not as easy as it sounds. Plus Woodson is not bad when he has really talented players.
There are not a lot of really good coaches. Many coaches look good by simply managing talent well.

 

[GeorgeStrait IU]

If he's arrested...DV, DUI....whatever.....then it does interfere with his job. I would think that any hire at IU would include, and hilight a morals clause that is designed to protect the U and quell the naysayers.

Love how simply this was put. Copy that.

Did Dolson already interview him and he said he wasn’t interested? How do you know so early?
Now we KNOW Dolson isn’t hiring Dusty or Stevens.

That sounds like he's trying to limit his sugar intake and possibly lose some weight.

 

[RowdyHoosier]

I have read several times that you claim he "beat" that woman. I don't think it was even described as a "beating" on the police report, but I could be wrong. He has been accused of choking her, possibly biting her, pushing her down some stairs (bruises and abrasions), but not actually striking her. That may sound like I'm splitting hairs, but maybe he pushed her, she was wearing high heels, she stumbled and just happened to fall down some stairs. There is a difference. There is a difference between pushing, choking, biting and actually striking. Maybe she was trying to poke his eye out and he bit her arm in self defense. The point is, we don't know. That is Dolson's job to find out.

Obviously something happened on that night that went past most social and moral boundaries. If IU were to hire him and something even remotely like this happened again, it would be a horrible look on the University, no doubt. I for one, don't think the fact the charges were dropped has one thing to do with Dolson's/IU's decision but it's theirs to make.

 

[RowdyHoosier]

You are asking who we think IU will hire, not who we WANT them to hire. I THINK it will end up being someone on the Tier of Cronin, Buzz Williams, Brad Brownell, McCullum, McCasland, Shaka Smart.

Stranger things have happened: See Arkansas/John Calipari, but if I had to wager, take your pick from those 6 and a few more that I didn't include but are similar.

 

[OpenWheels]

... Keep in mind IU hired Davis, Sampson, Crean, Archie, and Woodson. ...

Reminds me of the line from Shawshank redemption. "Jesus, when you say it like that..."

Just one coach on that list. And he's slimey. I wonder if Sampson has been rehabilitated?

I hope we can find a coach who can recruit like this...

 

[SRThoosier]

Waiting on link please.

Is this real life? Who the eff would ever say that and only Hank Reardon knows. lol.

These message boards are magical.

Can you effin idiots see the quote, ‘I’m going back to in-season drinking because it got really hard.’ Hahahaha…

Who talks like that in real life. ??

Hank…. Let’s get that out

Woodson has talented players and he’s terrible. That’s why he’s hitting the bricks.

Gonna throw the canoe in the water today, just to get out and paddle. Lost my paddling buddy when he moved to GA, but a kid in the neighborhood likes to fish and I'm gonna go out with him. River is muddy and it's a southern river, so bass, and some white/hybrid bass. Thought we should have some stripers in this stretch as they are above and below us, but not many right here. Did read that SCDNR released 10,000 fingerlings in my stretch so maybe in future years; hope they keep it up. This kid hasn't paddled much so I want to see how he does and hope I can get him comfortable in a canoe so we can try some other rivers. There are stripers and smallies less than an hour from me so that's what I'd like to try for.

Jealous. Rivers up here still partially locked up and lakes have 10-20” ice. Gonna be a while. Thinking of mounting a trolling motor to my yak. Still debating pros/cons.

Crazy how the movie was just a fun project by bbt. Yoakum is a classic abusive drunk too. There’s a funny scene in another film with yokum in the three burials.

Ice fishing up near Traverse is rebounding well compared to last winter.
