Wouldn't want to see his reaction walking across the street to Reed.Ag_EE_88 said:Coach Bucky has arrived ππ#GigEm | @BuckyBasketball pic.twitter.com/ceyUpxkfhR

I never heard that when listening to quite a few past interviews with him, not sure where that came from.frenchtoast said:
Good thing I don't typically watch press conferences. I don't know how much of that goofy ass giggle I can take.
he clearly was brought up right and a humble guy. the dude just got the keys to the castle for a major program with all the toys at his disposal. It might not be as major as we want it to be, but I think a guy like this can change that.scd88 said:
I have a friend in the media who was at Easterwood today. He said Bucky went down the line and introduced himself to every single one of them. No coach has done that in the 10 years this guy has been covering these welcomes.
High character dude.

yep, i'm liking this guy
although today it seemed like he's got a little Slingblade thing going on, with a little "umhmm" here and there after some of his comments

That giggle or laugh kinda reminds me of Bevas & Butthead. I won't mind it one bit if we're winning.

He's kind of a dork, but so are we (as a whole). I like him. Loved the not so subtle Buccees reference. If anyone can get an athletic donation out of Mr. Aplin, it will be a coach named Bucky.
I can see it now:
Buccee's Arena.
The house that Bucky built.

Bucky seems awesome, his speech was a home run. Looking forward to seeing this guy coach.
I'll never understand how the war hymn was cool when it's mostly about Texas, I'd hate it as an A&M coach. Singing about Texas every game even when 99% of the time you're not actually playing them.

This was probably the best line in a really good speech. This guy definitely knows what he wants to do, hopefully it works. I'm excited to see what he can do.TxAg76 said:

Maybe it's the millions of dollars giddyness.

Watched the Buzz Maryland press conference as a point of comparison. I know I'm biased, but the more you listen to him, the more it's clear he's full of sh&t. Self- righteous bs over and over...
They also played a clip of Manny saying how great a coach he is. Ironic given buzz completely misused Manny's skill set. Cult of buzz is about him.
