Alcoholism is a horrible disease.

But when it comes to diseases, it's probably the best one. It's the only disease where you get to drink booze all the time. - Norm MacDonald

His run in College Station with Acie Law is my favorite Aggie memory of all time. He created a basketball program out of nothing and we’ve tried to keep it going ever since.

Used to see him out at the bars on pint night. Never thought anything of it. PSA: alcohol is the most dangerous drug. Please use it responsibly. It’s not necessary for fun

They lifted his suspension? Wow, good for him.

It was a bogus complaint. Nothing to it, but they did a pro forma suspension in order to investigate it.

Billy leaving A&M for Kentucky should be a cautionary tale for any coach that has a good thing going. If he’d stayed at A&M, he would have been a legend.

Or he would have been arrested eventually leaving the Tap, I seen it.... And I really liked BG when he was with us .

Again, glad it all cleared up and hope he does well.

Runs a very specific system. Everyone has their defined role. The PG runs the show, the 2 has to be a best backcourt defender, the 3 has to be a sharpshooter, the 4/5 have to play defense and score with their backs to the basket. When everyone plays their role, he fields very good teams.

Got tickets from Billy for their game with SMU Monday night and he is doing just fine. Some of the stuff written about him is true, some of it not.

what a coincidence, johnny jones is coaching texas southern tonight against A&M.

Wow I never saw that, so him
