Austin American Statesman: Barnes to get $400,000 raise to remain at Texas

I’m told that Texas basketball coach Rick Barnes has agreed to a contract raise that will increase his salary more than $400,000 and put him among the five highest-paid basketball coaches in the country.

    One word describes the red/white game…”Greco”…he was the best looking quarterback… he was also playing against 2nd or 3rd string defense so difficult to compare to the others…..but he’s got an arm and when he does decide to take off running he’s very quick….Marcus looked the same and if his first target wasn’t open he would start dancing……..Jamelle Eugene also impressed at running back….very speedy….interesting that Reggie Davis has switched to Defense and is playing linebacker…of course Baker, Brown, and Blackman all looked good…

    I had very high hopes for marcus – he graduated from my father’s high school – but let’s face it, unless he improves we are in the Justin Burke era unless Amato is dumb enough to repeat his Jay Davis errors.

    Julius Hodge got shot people. Heart, soul, ressurector of this team. And you still focus on “OMG, who is gonna be the coach�. Statesfansnation has been deleted from my favorites. how the hell could the next coach be more important than Jules? I am saddened by this…….
