Texas Basketball 2023-24
Clearly you are not familiar with that amazing 2010-2011 Shanghai Sharks team. Sure, they only went 8-17, but their ceiling was 4 games at best. Donewald single handedly willed them to 4 wins above expectation. Seriously, I think seeing Texas actually have an offense that worked last season elevated Donewald to "guru" status in the eyes of a lot of fans. I have no idea whether he deserves the credit he has been given, more, or less, but he was in charge of the offense, and it appeared to be the most capable that most of us can remember. That does not mean that we we can't be as successful, or more so, with Haith in charge, but not everyone shares that opinion.

I sure hope so if we intend to have him on the roster this fall.

Finally. I'm not sure I'll ever acclimate to EPL transfers. Things get reported as "done" and then suddenly they aren't.

We're going to have to pay attention to how the arm covers read when crossed...unless he is hoping for NIL deals with "ALL RAKES Lawncare."

Arsenal FC 2023-24: Passion, Energy, Clarity
I completely agree. It took me a little while to warm to Arteta because things got worse before they started getting better, but I trust him and Edu completely. The difference between missing out on primary targets now versus the past is that we move on to other primary targets instead of settling for players that don't make us better.

Yeah. We made our offer. If the market demands more than we want to pay, then we'll spend it on someone else...maybe whomever Rice ends up replacing at MC. It's discouraging to miss out on players we want, but it is very encouraging that we have shown an ability to move on and find really good, if not better, alternatives.

Why do I still feel like Chelsea is going to swoop in at the last second and outbid us?

I can only assume they are leaving room to counter the inevitable sniping shit that is going to come from one or more clubs with unlimited resources. The good news for Arsenal in this window is the ability to offer CL. That will at least make Chelsea less of a threat. Unfortunately, City can offer everything we can and more. Greedy fucks.

Jeff has zero self-awareness...nothing we didn't already know. Has he actually scored any food on his own the entire challenge? I feel bad for Sarah, Gary, and Cheeny, having to live with him for 10 days.

Top Chef - London
It really felt like Buddha was competing against some of the amazing dishes he made all season more so than what Sara and Gabri were serving. Had he been under performing throughout the competition, they would have given him more credit. Buddha put out delicious highly elevated food and didn't made any mistakes. They asked for the chefs to cook their food, and that's what he did. Kudos to Sara for giving them tasty dishes that they likely don't experience very often, but technique should count for something. No one's technical skill comes close to Buddha's. It's easy for Tom to say after the fact that Sara would have won if she had properly cooked the liver, but I'm not sure I buy it. We'll never know. She made a rookie mistake that no Top Chef should make.

I have no idea if Aldridge has coaching chops, but I love seeing a former Horn with his NBA résumé being involved at some level. It's also a great way for Aldridge to stay active in the game.

It's a bummer that Pepe never really met expectations here, but I'm glad to see that we have a plan to improve the quality and depth.

I thought it was pretty ballsy of Dan to just help himself to Gary and Waz's honey stash, granted, it wasn't the easiest resource to divide for sharing. Waz needed to say something if his share was still in the pot. Not knowing how eliminations are going to work makes it hard to plan for the social game. I like Gary's approach of not being a total asshole to Jeff, just in case, though I don't see it helping at all because Jeff is still Jeff. I'm curious to see which groups Jeff and Matt join. It was funny as hell watching Jeff essentially run to the next zone, when there was no reason whatsoever to do so.

Texas Rangers 2023 - They're Still Shitty?
That's much better than last season's 15-35 record. Interestingly, as well as we are playing this season, we are still struggling in one-run games, currently sitting at 4-7. This projects to 11-20 for the season, or roughly wining 1/3 of them. Let's just keep winning 12-2 type games so we don't have to worry about it.

It seems to me that the best option is to simply not lose any games. I think we should try to do that.

It really is amazing. You have to think Seager would be on that list without missing so many games.

Can't Arsenal just show him Chelsea highlights from last year to demonstrate how effectively he will be used? Oh wait, there were no Chelsea highlights. Have him talk to Mudryk about how nice it is to play for a team that is willing to overpay.
