They did look at Pitts - actually waved to him last week as they drove to the airport to go to Wichita. Pitts gave a thumbs up.

Texas just fired Rick Barnes. Leading names are Greg Marshall and Shaka Smart.

Now Shocker fans really have something to worry about.

Texas is a great job. Of those that might realistically become available in the next couple of years, Texas and Kentucky are probably the top jobs in the country. This is the spot that Smart or Marshall might have been waiting on.

That's not the case. Ultimately the decision was Overstreet's, however it was encouraged by Bartow.

In either case, I am intrigued by his possibilities. Probably reading too much into a few minutes of scrimmage, but that's part of the fun.

Duggar Baucom has jumped ship to The Citadel.

McClain is the coach of the UIC Flames. We know the other two.

Turns that rivalry up another notch.

Lexington is a nice historic town in a beautiful area, but it's hard to compete with Charleston -- especially if you like coastal living.
