Texas fired Chris Beard after a felony domestic violence charge. Maybe Texas Tech and Texas can now agree that Chris Beard might be a scumbag. And probably hangs out with scumbags.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here’s the sign I want to see at games from both schools: “Chris Beard bites!!!”. See the police report. Yikes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are scumbags in all walks of life. But I’d like to see us be less forgiving of scumbags on big stages with positions of leader\/teacher\/mentor. And any men who bite their domestic partner in anger. That’s just crazy, right? As my friend Andy put it, “Biting Hall of Fame: Marv Albert, Mike Tyson, Hannibal Lecter.” All bat-poop-crazy in their own way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kudos to Texas for doing the right thing here. Boos for taking 3 weeks to do it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’d like the coach of my alum to be fired (Juwan Howard) for his inability to maintain a professional demeanor. He hasn’t advanced to scumbag status though, at least not yet. There’s the rub: yet. I don’t hate Howard, I just don’t trust him. Ticking time bomb. I miss John Beilein, a lot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I put Harbaugh in the untrustworthy bucket too. He’s been there a long time, bu\u2020 the hypocritical righteousness while violating NCAA rules is the one that really rubs me the wrong way. Not to mention the stupidity. If you bought a hamburger for a recruit at the Brown Jug, it’s downright stupid to lie about it to an investigation committee. We’re not talking about fancy food here; Wendy’s makes better burgers. In fact, at my age, you’d have to pay me to eat a burger at the Brown Jug. It’s a college campus dive. I spent my fair share of time at the Brown Jug as a student, mostly eating eggs and pancakes late at night after a long study session with friends. But it’s not a place you take someone to impress them or sway them. It’s not even the institution that Crazy Jim’s or the Fleetwood is, never mind a fantastic food place like Zingerman’s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
