  1. He should be able to defend the title but would be difficult with staff and player turnover. He'd be the hottest coach on the market and should say sure, what the hell, yeah, I'll take one of the top jobs, historically, in college basketball.
  2. Bama now enters the dangerous off-season, where they get to try and keep their players out of jail until next season.
  3. It couldn't break Texas way any better. Xavier can be had.
  4. The lane has been wide open for layups most of the game.
  5. Houston defense is garbage. Really.
  6. If you looked at their record vs top teams prior to the tournament, would've never chose them as an option. They're destroying teams now.
  7. And won't have to hire him if they do, because there's no way he'd be able to replicate this season.

    Rodney Terry

    Wow--anybody asking for Terry to make the FF or EE in order to be hired should be looking at the landscape right now and ask if they would've considered any of these coaches. Nothing is guaranteed. I do like Larranaga, but not enough to hire him at Texas. I liked what he did at George Mason, taking them as far as he did, and now with Miami.
  9. They look like crap and look to be going down.
  10. Texas now with the top seed. Edit: If Houston loses.
  11. I enjoy parts, Psalms largely, and think that the commandments are basic rules for society, and the condensing bastardization that the Old Testament is an eye for an eye, and the New Testament is turn the other cheek. However, the whole God tosses those that don't comply to worship it above all else, sacrifice for it, and whatnot, or burn for eternity in a lake of fire is worse than what most would do to their basic pet dog. I ask for my dog not to shit in the house, so I walk him. Faith says no, I condemn the dog (which is says about animals anyways and they always get the worst of it) if it doesn't do what I ask, only without the pretext of my existence aside from a series of other dogs telling him not to shit in the house.
  12. Mary is my name, Prostitution is my game, Magdalene is my guess. And what happened to Lazarus? Is he still walking around?
  13. That's me--I feel like the Bible is either the word of god or it's not. If it needs to be understood by the masses to convert, then it better be damn simple and straightforward--like Aesop. Otherwise, it's a futile, lost gesture since it is easily misinterpreted. Another problem is, it's been edited throughout time, so we all have different versions.
  14. Well some in scotus seems to like to leak info as well. Republicans are pretty shitty from the top down.
  15. 1. Faith based--proof denies faith 2. Repentance -- all sins redeemed (almost like new testament cleared the way for bloodshed) It's another money grab. That's how Republicans see government. But education takeover is also grooming for Republicans. Remember, every accusation is a confession.
  16. I'm surprised that they don't roll with -- Want your proof that God is against Liberalism, God burned two Liberal cities, and turned Lot's wife into salt when she turned around to look at 'em.
  17. for tracking migrations: https://dashboard.birdcast.info/region/US-DC should help you learn physical id: https://www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/# for seeing what's been identified around you: https://ebird.org/hotspot/L795955 as mentioned, merlin is great for bird call id. After awhile, you can id many without the app.
  18. Disu hustled on both sides of the floor and although he missed a few shots towards the end of the first half, they were money in the second. Just dominated inside and from mid. Also, defensively, I think this team really fed off his early hustle 'cause they got after PSU on the defensive end. At times, Texas gets too guard oriented, mainly because they're so athletic, which is great. PSU had great hands defensively inside, making it difficult to dribble drive. But feed Bishop and Disu and make sure they stay involved.
  19. Social media has helped them coalesce around central ideas and gather, but the racism was already there.
  20. Beard hasn’t been anywhere long term so we can’t measure that. We know he can build short term in a hurry. But to sustain that - don’t know. I don’t pretend to know what greatness is. Terry kept a team together which could’ve emotionally and mentally collapsed. That’s coaching. Right now I’m going to enjoy this team and Terry this season. We can ponder why one time greats UCLA, Indians and UNC can’t seem to find a successful coach while teams like Kentucky that are loaded with talent are off and on. The hunt isn’t assured. We don’t know what the future holds but Texas is playing at a high level right now with Terry manning the helm. And that involves coaching. Let’s not pretend this team coaches itself off the fumes of their former HC. They still game plan on a regular basis that involves juggling player combos to create offensive mismatches and defensive matchups, running plays, while settling guys down and adjusting a plan that requires ego buy in. That’s coaching. If Terry can’t build then that’s a problem but he’s proving right now that he can coach talent and game plan.
  21. Rice and company looking to explode next game. They had their down game on their way to beating two of the better three point shooting teams. Looking for them to go off now.
