    Most predicted he wouldn’t survive. I was in the minority. Bummer….did it to himself.

    It also said Beard did not strangle her, and that she did not refute his claim of acting in self-defense.

    So - if roles were reversed. And she was in self defense mode, meaning he attacked her and she defended himself, she gets arrested? ( nope)

    Hmmmm

    Beard should file a discrimination suit. He should also file for damages for the suffering UT caused on his fiancé, which is basically blaming her mental condition for Beard’s firing.

    Apparently UT doesn’t support employees and their significant other who have mental illness.

    Really, really hate to see this happen. And I hate to say it, but in the end, CB was brought down by a dyed in the wool Lubbock girl and red-blooded Techster (she started there, but may have graduated from Wayland Baptist, I believe). There was no need for her to dial 911 that night. Beard was already gone and she was pissed off at him. She knew what would happen, and it did. They clearly have a "bad romance" type relationship that needed to either end or get worked on through counseling. Instead, CB's career is now ruined, and so are the couple's potential dreams. Really awful for CB and the University he loves. And really awful for our MBB program that was ready to blow up. Randi better be ready to support everyone on that HS volleyball coaches' salary because CB may be working at Thundercloud soon.

    On a side but related note, does anyone else get petrified when an ESPN alert drops on your phone? “Lord, what did we do now?” is my first impulse before I look at my phone.

    I had no idea that anyone would get alerts from them on a phone.

    Yeah if you select teams you want on your feed you’ll get alerts with their famous jingle.

    No, it said that she recanted her statement.
    She did tell them in the beginning that he strangled her and hit her and threw her around the room..
    After she realized she just screwed their entire life, she took it all back and said please don't charge him.
    Now that's a guy that went berserk and threw a tantrum.

    Well, one step forward, three steps back and that has nothing to do with basketball.

    I shall now officially give up. I have to accept that the promised arrival of the candy truck will not occur in my lifetime.

    Man, we had the Moody and great recruits. Uncertainty now. CDC will need to back up the Brinks truck.

    Wouldn’t be surprised if CDC has someone quietly waiting in the bushes to take over next year.

    Just a courtesy offered but probably not a requirement, but yeah, why not talk to the man?
