I googled the general address of the house this occurred at based off the ESPN story...it's in the Tarrytown neighborhood of Austin..not a bad neighborhood but clearly not where a multimillionaire coach would live.
Parts of Tarrytown are pretty exclusive. I have no idea where Beard lives, but Shaka Smart's house was in Tarrytown when he was at UT and it sold for $6+ million.

We don't know all the facts with this situation, but the sad fact is that a person being abused doesn't typically call in police the first or even second time it happens. It's usually something that has gone on for awhile.
We know a few things:

Texas Monthly is going to implode. Jessica Luther and her buddy in the monkey suit are gonna be on suicide watch.
I'm curious if a pole or a monkey was involved

Oh ok ..the story listed 1900 block Vista Lane..I did a Google map search to see photos of the neighborhood..I probably didn't scroll long enough to get to the good part of the neighborhood.

Two Questions:

1) If all is true (we don't have the full story yet) is this as bad or worse than Art Briles (who never put hands on anyone and never played any player indicted of a crime). I think so.

2) What would happen to a player who was charged with this?

I wish this hadn't happened. Sad. But he has to go if this is true.

Living in Austin the past 15+ years, I have seen how this school operates at a high level in situations like this. I see two outcomes:
1. There is a large faction within the UT academic community that rails against the UT athletic department and the influence they yield across campus, the state and with money. They will be ready to pounce if UT provides a slap on the wrist. Would a history professor get the same treatment? If someone brings up - but does the history professor raise millions of dollars for the university, this only fuels their argument with the administration.
2. Not currently knowing the facts, the most likely scenario is that UT uses their influence to get the charges reduced to a misdemeanor and that gives them the necessary room to just suspend him for X number of games.

This is a sad and tragic event and after seeing how Beard reached out to JTT as he lay injured on the floor against UT last year, I don't hold him in the same negative regard as Rick Barnes. But after all that BU has gone through in the past, I can't help but sigh a sigh of relief that it is some other school having to deal with this and not Baylor.
Tick Barnes was confronted by his kids for calling himself a Christian and not living as one. He has made a big change in his life.

Texas ain't firing him. Doesn't work that way. Never has. Sit back and watch this play out as the story is developed.


This. Are you people nuts. The only coaches Texas fires for this kind of stuff are baylor coaches. But the arrest and zero punishments by the law are actually needed

Yeah, my sympathy for any UT employee is zero.

Hypocrites.

They didn't care about justice for us, we can extend the same courtesy to them.

There's a ton we don't know, but my intuition tells me:
  • If this was Joe Q Public, I'd be more confident that charges will stick.
  • It's hard to see a family member not eventually dropping the charges.

If its domestic violence in Texas, the family member's cooperation is not required.

Ask Warren Moon.

Yep, as I said earlier, sit back and watch the wheels of motion in Austin move forward.


Ironically, if he were Chris Beard, head coach of the 2-12 UT Longhorn basketball team, he'd be gone already.

Forgive the insensitivity, but I live in Austin and I can't tell you how many times I have heard "Rape U" when referencing Baylor.

Can we now refer to UT as "Choke U"? Seems to apply in more ways than one.

Vaccine criticism? Huh?

It's ok man. You're most virtuous. Good to know where the moral equivalencies are. You made a joke about a dude strangling his fianc. I stated the obvious, that coaches need to not disregard their health as many people, most importantly family, are counting in them.

Keep going. You're winning.

I knew something was going to go down like this, tho I figured, DWI, public intox, assault (at a bar, not family member)…glad he is gone and could not think of a more fitting organization to have to deal with this sociopathic wife beater.

The fiance..was a HS volleyball coach in Lubbock..this is a story from 2020 when she resigned her position and said she wasn't going anywhere else to teach or coach.. Assume that was when she moved to Austin when Beard took over.

If photo evidence of any abuse does exist, you can bet it will find its way to TMZ eventually, and at that point UT has no choice.

If true (agreed we don't presently have the full story) it is worse than anything CAB did per the whole exaggerated so called "Rape U scandal" - but watch how much differently the media - especially ESPN - deals with it. For one thing, I seriously doubt Beard will end up being an eternal pariah as far as being a future college HC goes.

Ditto what was said about Beard when our player was injured. Beard has done good things in the past. I don't think ill of the man, and I don't know what happened.


But hey, UTAustin admin, Austin media.

You picked a fight, it's on.

Yup. Too much at stake here. If the Austin PD can get the charges to stick, I agree UT officials will have to do something. And, the Horns are likely fried for this year. But this could be a 1 year suspension with counseling required if the charges become modified to a misdemeanor as the result of additional "facts." It's not gonna be an easy oh he's fired immediately kinda thing.
If the charges stick, what about his contract with UT? Aren't there contract aspects regarding such, especailly felonies???

Yes..all coaches contracts have language for moral turpitude.. criminal acts .and bringing embarrassment to the school.

That's how they get out of paying them.
