Chris Beard

Come on, man.

I, all I think about is Chris Beard beating Purdue with that team.

I was gonna say, I think that's when they-

Yeah

I thought about putting him as well.

It's not quite put-up-or-shut-up time for Chris Beard at Ole Miss, but it's getting there.

It's getting there for him, and we'll see if this is another down year where they finish outside the top 10.

You've got to start to wonder if his seat will be cooking a little bit over there for Ole Miss.

It was pretty cool.

They had Chris Beard and, uh, Porter Moser back to back.

I thought that was, uh, uh, pretty ironic, the Little Rock connection, and both the former coa- you know, coaches of the Little Rock Trojans.

And, uh, Porter, you know, wants to use last year's success and-

He wants to just continue that ... role and he got some, you know, he, he got a little backing.

He had some money, and he was able to keep his players for once, and go out and get a couple more players.

Chris Beard, they're picked 13th, and, uh, he said they're using that as, uh, motivation.

Um, any time it's kinda slow, things are kinda, you know, guys are feeling sorry for themselves, he said, "I'll, I'll remind them.

Gotcha.

I know you heard from Chris Beard, Porter Moser, a couple guys with Arkansas Connections yesterday as well.

Yeah, Coach Beard, it was funny.

He saw me and he was like, Little Rock, what's going on? It's so good to see you.

He's on the roster." Now yesterday if you wanted any kinda comment about Will Wade, whether it's him and Pat Forde getting into it or Greg Sankey saying, you know, our comments in the, in the lawsuit stand, you had plenty of fodder.

Okay? You wanted to hear about Corey Stevenson, Max, you finally dug up the quote, okay, from, uh, from, uh, Chris Beard, the head coach at Ole Miss, and he said-

Well, we don't know exactly what the question is, but he says, "A part of common sense would be if a guy signed a pro contract, he's on a pro team of course.

But most of these players, like R2 you mentioned, Corey and Micah are not pro players.

We've done all of this.

All right? But not a thing about Corey Stevenson.

And Chris Beard, who I believe was fired for misconduct at the University of Texas, if I'm not mistaken, for something a hell of a lot more serious than offering a point guard from Scotlandville some money.

But I digress.

I think it happens more often and you don't really worry about it.

But I asked, I got the mic, and of course Chris Beard acknowledged me being there and he said, "We, we could have just done this at Funky's."

[laughs]

And I was like, "Well, we, we probably should have." You know, that, that sou- that sounds good right now.

Wow

... who've been in the league the longest.

Uh, and you know, this is Chris Beard's fourth year, and I mean, man, you watch the, the, the men's coaches come in and out of there.

Um, it's some really talented people.

Uh, Cronin and Pitino are tied for five, but depending on what you're looking at, they, they flip-flop, but they've, overall they got them tied for five.

And then you've got Underwood, uh, Darren DeVries, uh, Chris Beard.

Darren DeVries?

Yeah, Chris Beard at Ole Miss.

I get that one.

Dennis Gates in Mizzou.

But yeah, as far as the rivalry itself, it's not what it used to be.

I, I also agree, 217 Texter.
