  1. I’m all about Jokic but for this particular matchup and the common set of teammates offered up, don’t think we need him because we already have a bunch of the best offensive guys ever playing crunch time. I want defensive freaks to throw at Shaq, Kareem, and Wilt. Starters: Oscar, MJ, Bird, Durant, Duncan Bench: Steph, Wade, Dirk, Pippen/KG, Hakeem
  2. Shaka is a good mid-major coach. He’s already shown he can’t cut it at a place like IU.
  3. From that list, I’d probably rule out Pitino (old), Hurley (entrenched), Altman (old), Sampson (old), Pearl (fuckface), Drew (fuck him), Wright (stays retired), and Bennett (stays retired) but I guess you never know.
  4. Here’s a crack at the “CDC criteria” list, in a vacuum and in no particular order. I’ve at least tried to weed out guys like Self, Scheyer, and Izzo who aren’t going anywhere, and I’ve excluded former Texas coaches. I’m also not limiting it to P4 necessarily because the Big East still has juice. Brad Brownell (Clemson) Rick Pitino (St. John’s) Greg McDermott (Creighton) Dan Hurley (UConn) Sean Miller (Xavier) Dusty May (Michigan) Matt Painter (Purdue) Greg Gard (Wisconsin) Mick Cronin (UCLA) Kevin Willard (Maryland) Brad Underwood (Illinois) Dana Altman (Oregon) Kelvin Sampson (Houston) Tommy Lloyd (Arizona) Grant McCasland (Texas Tech) TJ Otzelberger (Iowa State) Scott Drew (Baylor) Bruce Pearl (Auburn) Nate Oats (Alabama) Chris Jans (Miss State) Mark Few (Gonzaga) Jay Wright (Retired) Tony Bennett (Retired)
  5. Okay. And what if Tommy Lloyd says no. He’d be my first call too, which I’ve already said on here.
  6. I don’t necessarily disagree with your take regarding CDC’s hiring criteria. If that’s the case, who fits it and how long is the list? And what if they all decline?
  7. Great show that got way out over its skis when the source material ran out. “Hardhome” in Season 5 (awesome episode) is right before the show started to wobble, and everything from the end of “Eastwatch” in Season 7 to the end of the series was a bloated mess. Thanks Fat Man! I probably need a rewatch to ultimately pass judgment on its place in TV history, but Seasons 1 through 4 is great television.
  8. (My bad. He was at San Francisco not Pacific.) I was simply circling back on the larger point that if a guy can coach, the NIL money will follow soon after…so Texas should not necessarily rule out the guy at Drake because he happens to be coaching at Drake. He’s not my first choice but he should at least be considered. Todd Golden took over a Florida program in 2022 that looks to be equivalent to where Texas will likely be after this season - middling SEC program with no tournament appearance after making the Round of 32 the year before and having a wildly mediocre coach depart. Also, while I consider this Year 3 for Terry considering he coached a vast majority of 2022-2023, there is no question Texas is going backward right now whether this is Year 2 or Year 3.
  9. Florida hired Todd Golden who only had head coaching experience at Pacific. Look at where he has them in year three.
  10. “I’m Rachel Nichols with the Heat” was always a winner
  11. Been a good start to 2025 but yeah, college hoops is finicky as hell. Typically I scale back after football is done. I flat out will not bet NBA or MLB.
  12. Posted plays 14-6 (+13 units). New Mexico -15.5 (Wyoming). 1 unit.
  13. Less turkey talk, more Scar Jo talk needed. Movie looks dumb as hell but I’ll probably see it anyway.
  14. Go read the letters exchanged between Minton and James Davis. Minton literally says that Beard is standing by his declaration that “he is innocent of any crime and has not done anything that is unbecoming a head coach and reflects poorly on the University.” That message indicated Beard didn’t want to do “a little PR work” and is certainly some evidence that he didn’t want to keep the job if it meant admitting to his bad behavior.
  15. And the Oscar for Best Picture goes to…Friendship!
  16. Tommy Lloyd Tommy Lloyd Tommy Lloyd
  17. If Beard would’ve acquiesced to those conditions he’d probably still be here.
  18. Uhhhhhh we were up by like a million against Miami in the regional final and frittered it away?
  19. Funny. I did not hear the Simmons trade pod, but him ragging on David Khan isn’t anything new. And Khan deserves every bit of all the vitriol directed his way - truly a disastrous tenure.
  20. Adding Syracuse +2.5 (@Miami).
  21. Seemed like the NBA was finished with totally incompetent and/or malevolent GMs and owners in the vein of David Khan, Donald Sterling, and the like. Felt like for the most part the fans were left bickering about fringe moves at the end of the rotation and whether or not ownership would hold its nose and go into the tax/apron. Boy have the Mavs proved me wrong.
  22. Posted plays 14-4 (+15 units). Ohio/Bowling Green U155.5. 1 unit.
  23. Feels like we’re gonna get our ass kicked, but every time I think that we seem to compete/win.
  24. Posted plays 13-4 (+14 units) Baylor/Houston O133. 1 unit.

    PGA Tour 2025

    Detry didn’t blink for two days. His back nine today was unreal. Nobody was catching him. Nice week for Jordan. He probably should’ve had wrist surgery 20 months ago. He’s always going to be a little wild off the tee but his game is avoiding bogeys which he’s sucked at for two seasons. This week very few negative holes.
