Let him say what he wants...

HE'S the one that royally screwed up his only year with one of the best freshmen to ever play the game.

HE'S the one that got his arse handed to him in Reed and has lost 3 straight games there.

HE'S the one that needed the refs, the home crowd, Durant, a ridiculous performance by James, and two overtimes just to beat the "poooor aggie" by two points.

Not to mention Acie has tormented him for 3 years by torching the Horns in some of his best games in an Aggie uniform.

Let him crow, hes a moron.

Is he trying to get the A&M student body ideas with which to taunt him next year? It seems a steady diet of "Poooor Ricky" and "Sit down bus driver" are in order...

School rivalries aside, that's very poor sportsmanship and something one should not expect from a "professional" at his rank.

That's lowering yourself to the rank of student or idle fan.

I used to love it when R.C. would say things like that at the Coaches Nights. Nothing wrong with it. This kind of stuff is supposed to go on between our schools. Its a rivalry, after all. Next time some t-sp jack ass tells you its not remind them of this.

great point H6. isn't there a double standard if we wouldn't be upset if marky t were to throw a horns down tomorrow? we should want this. it means he cares. it means he's a little bitter that he couldn't beat up on billy g as he'd like to have. although we haven't had a nat'l player of the year.... ever... and we haven't been to a final four... ever

but we'll get there

It strikes me that Durant has more class than his coach. What a graceful acceptance at the Wooden Awards. That kid has handled himself with great class throughout the season. And he can nail the three, to boot. The Big XII will be the worse without getting to watch him for the next three years - yeah, I thought the refs protected him, too - and good luck to him going forward. Barnes, on the other hand, is a (very rich) bus driver ...

Durant rather than seeing his one year as a sentence imposed because of rule changes--and this kid had the talent to go right to the pros like a few otheres--used it to take home some lifetime treasures. And has been pretty classy about it.

I wish him the best.

I do with the NBA could change their rules and the courts would allow it to make kids stay in college if they start college, but there is so much life changing money to be made and the constant threat in sports of injury.

Barnes is the pinnacle of mediocrity. He's RC Slocum and Tubby Smith minus the character.

I can't believe a coach actually said that. That's hysterical (in a "what an idiot" sort of way).

I bet Acie would trade all those awards for the Sweet 16 though. Would Barnes?

Tubby has a National Championship, so I don't think he fits in the same catagory.

Rick Barnes is RC Slocum minus the character.

Those comments aren't that big of a deal. I've been to several professional A&M meetings and we've done the same to them. We shouldn't get upset with comments like his. I wish he wouldn't have pointed out one individual like Acie, but that's the way rivalries go.

What's interesting is how Duarte had to put them in his blog. Apparently we are rivals after all.

They're all classless. Most of you won't remember, but Gustafson was just as bad back in 1989. His wife had been sick or got hurt or something that year and we made a big deal about over the PA during the series in CS. He appeared to be humbled blah, blah, blah. Fast forward a month and a half. The wHorns get a joke regional and go to the CWS. We get LSU with Ben McDonald, Russ Springer, etc. and lose two games on the last day to not make it. Texas wins their regional after we had already been knocked out. Gus gets on the microphone at Disch Falk afterwards and starts laughing and says "Where are the Aggies now." Oh by the way we beat them 4 out of 5 that year. Typical CS wHorns.

You guys need to grow a pair. This is great stuff. I don't know about you, but I like it that the head coach of our hated rival is dissing us. Isn't that what rivalries are all about???

If the tables were turned, I'd love it if our coaches did something like that.

90,

You got to keep in mind, by 1989 every horn fan in the country had a serious identity crisis, they saw the aggies in their sleep and they were tired of losing to the "farmers"

The comment was most likely made out of total exasperation
