if we can get 1-2 win conference seasons from TCU and TTech, the b12 might get 8 of 10 teams in the tourney this year. need those teams to be crappy so the rest of the conference can get those wins.

Sorry if this has already been posted (the new search seems kindof spotty), but apparently some Tech ball players went to the AD and complained about Gillispe, and now Gillispe's in the hospital for something? Seems like a whole lot of strangeness coming out of Lubbock...

After your 3rd DUI arrest most guys would/should have a chat with the man in the mirror.
My bet is that he asks for and is granted some time off to "regain his bearings".
Probably took a recruiting trip to East Texas and got hooked on the meth.Quote:

Doesn't sound good.
Billy's problems sound a lot like the problems LE had while at ISU. A great X's & O's guy and he knows the game. But man was he hard on players. Probably a similar drinking problem too.
So I'm curious: do you post here knowing that this will be merged with the other Billy G thread, or did you just not read the post above yours?Quote:
