Looks like little Pastner is going to end up at Memphis.

It’s good to see Texans watching the basketball scene rather than the football scene.

And about the MU fb reference: I do recall Marquette playing a certain team from Texas in the first Cotton Bowl (TCU won 16-6).

Trips, first time caller, first time listener. Love you’re writing style. And I hope you are right about Pastner.

Marquette already has a Texas flavor — new head coach Buzz Williams is a native Texan. Going into this season the Warriors will have three Texans on the roster……..Pastner to MU, wow. Talk about a staff built around recruiting

And if your school doesn’t have a football team, we really don’t care all that much about it.

You’ll have to forgive us. We cohabitate with the former Big 8 schools, which have a nasty habit of completely ignoring the logical standard of putting the initials in the same order as the full school name.

University of Oklahoma = OU
University of Missouri = MU
University of Kansas = KU

and so on and so forth.

And it is MU, not UM. Marquette University.

Wow, is right. Boy, I hope this happens. Very interesting. Pastner would be a great hire, it seems.

In terms of money, I doubt that would be a problem. Buzz was making a mint as an assistant at Marquette last year. The money is there.

I’m not certain, but Buzz and the university would be crazy not to hire him given the pull he and his family have with some stout Texas talent.

I also think Josh would be crazy not to take it if the numbers are right. U of A is a pretty crazy place right now, and as revered as Lute is down there, the Sutton firing reminds of how frail legacy relationships can be when big dollars are at stake.
