Jim Traber Forum: Rick Barnes

Message

   Here is what Barnes said after Texas lost to aTm Saturday:

"I'm disappointed. I'm embarrassed, to be honest. There is nobody to blame but me. I could say it's our team but I'm in charge of it. It's probably, for whatever reason, as poor a coaching job as I've ever done." 

Rick Barnes epitomizes class. When the plane crash happened he led a contigent from Austin to the memorial service. When Sean got arrested Barnes made a public statement of support and friendship. 

Rick Barnes' teams have not always performed to expectations but I've never heard Rick Barnes throw his players under the bus.

Should be a good matchup tonight.

	I agree with everything said here. By the way, during our game last week my wife and I were discussing what is wrong with his skin. He looked like my oldest son when he was a few months old and had jondis. It was not the color on my TV because everyone else looked normal. Barnes had a horrible yellow coloring.

	I HOPE it's a good matchup tonight. The only reason I have for optimism is our performance in Norman against the 'Horns.

	He didn't look orange at that halftime interview. Still looks like a total douche, but not orangy yellow..
